The fresh and attractive atmosphere caught our eye when we were out looking for a place to dine on our last night of vacation. Because there was a wait and we had no reservation, we ate at the bar.
Service was excellent, informative and professional - everything you'd expect.
Wedge salad was good, but could have used some freshly cracked pepper. Per the bartenders recommendation my boyfriend ordered the crab-stuffed shrimp. While I do believe it to be a normally good dish (otherwise why would he recommend it?), it came out cold and over-cooked. My special halibut (prepared the same as the scallops) was too buttery and too heavy for such a small/light dish. The side mac and cheese was creamy and delicious. We also ordered the brussel sprouts (another recommendation from the bartender) which come sauteed with bacon and shallots. This would have been the highlight of the meal except for one major problem: a raw shallot bulb must have found it's way into our final dish - and when I munched down on it, the explosion of raw onion taste completely took over the whole meal. It was all I could taste the rest of the time! Not even chocolate cake could shake my taste buds from the onion stench.
What a shame - overall an underwhelming meal (except for the onion, of course). If I lived in Scottsdale I'd give Wildfish another shot - but I don't, so next time I'm in Arizona I'll probably be trying out a new restaurant.
