"Solid 3.5 stars for food and 4 for service and ambiance. \n\nInvited to join a few ladies I know for dinner before a Suns game, I was informed that reservations were made here. Having not tried this downtown eatery yet, I was looking forward to the experience. \n\nWhen I arrived, the ladies had ordered a bottle of a nice sturdy red wine, I was offered and accepted to be served but only requested a short pour, as I only wanted a taste. I pretty much stuck to the water. \n\nThe server was very attentive and came back to check on us regularly. When it came time to ordering I was quite appreciateive to the suggestions she offered. I finally decided on a bowl of soup (shrimp and corn chowder) and the Ancho Pork empanadas. In hindsight 2 rich choices but both quite tasty. \nThe soup had at least 5 good sized shrimp, perfectly tender in a creamy base that was seasoned well and just enough spice to warm and not overwhelm the palate. \nThe empanadas had seasoned pork, with a flavor similar to chorizo (garlic, chile, cumin), the crust was a flaky puff pastry. This was served with a sweet citrus pepper marmalade that complimented the empanada well. \n\nOverall I was pleased and I will have to go back to try again as I hear their happy hour is great."^^ . .
