While we waited we checked out the dreamy digs. Totally makes you feel like you're not in Phoenix inside. Beautiful persimmons, pomegranates and freshly baked bread adorn the kitchen line. We got a specialty house cocktail and a glass of wine at the bar. Bartender was very professional, attentive and polite. We were seated at a table right in the middle of the room which in some places could be noisy or chaotic but the vibe in there is great. There's this lovely calm and the small dining room absorbs sound well. They have an awesome team thing going on there--no yelling from the kitchen--all the staff seems pleasant, warm and looks like they're enjoying being there. Totally changes your dining experience when it seems like all the staff is calm and smiling. So many restaurants have such a bustle but this place just has this poised productive demeanor even with a full house. We were served by Christie (Kristy? Sp?) and she was imperturbable and regardful, the ideal server:) Our meal was so fresh and so unique. Had the shrimp risotto and hangar steak. Nothing ostentatious or silly, just beautiful plates that tasted like they were crafted with care. I'll definitely be back and be bringing my friends!"^^ . "2015-12-02T00:00:00"^^ . .
