OMG - I have to agree with a previous poster about this being officially "the most pretentious place in Scottsdale" - and that's saying alot in Scottsdale!!! Some of the folks in there could pass for puppets or something, definately not human. Not to mention the serious cougar and manther component! However none of this can take away from the fact that this is a fabulous restaurant with great food and service.
We went on a Saturday during Happy Hour. Since we had just come from iPic and were stuffed on popcorn, we decided to sit at the bar and have appetizers. Service was impeccible and friendly. I ordered my usual Hendrik's martini which was perfectly prepared, although not the same portion for the price youwould get at Mastro's. My husband got an excellent strawberry mojito. For apps we went with the crab cake and the pot stickers. Crab cake was hands down the best I've ever eaten. More crab than cake and hugh. The potstickers were good too although the sauce was a bit too salty. Other apps we saw go our were the calamari which looked great, the jumbo shorimp cocktail (the only thing that was jumbo in my estimation is the price. $15 for 4 "extra large" at best shrimp), and the sushi rolls which looked OK but if you want sushi I'd go over to RA across the street.
Overall it was a very good experience and the clientele is entertaining. I'll definately go back for a full meal on a special occasion.
