"We live here year round and one of the spoils (during our oven baked summer season) is that we can enjoy the resorts w/o the crowds of in season.\n\nLast night we decided to check out the Bourbon Steak House as my Management Team will be here visiting from NJ this week. Want to show them a few pearls of the Valley.\n\nArrived @5:30 and went in to the Bar as Bourbon is a nice addition to the property. \n\nThere were about 8 people sitting at the Bar and a few at the tables. Two bartenders were busy making drinks and must have been in overwhelm as we were not acknowledged for almost 10 minutes. Not sure how they could have been so engulfed as the restaurant was not yet bust at all!\n\nFinally received a drink menu from the female tender as she was not too interested.\n\nWe like Chardonnay and the only one by the glass was a $24.00 Patz& Hall. R U serious? Not any other choices. This place did not warrant our visit.\n\nDeparted for the outside bar where several female servers were huddled and enjoying each others company. Several smokers (including cigars) hanging out and after 5 minutes we left.\n\nThe couple with me had enough and left the property for the Westin Kierland.\n\nI recall Fairmount's La Hacienda from years ago and while it's stroll (110 degrees) outside, I sauntered over.\n\nSat at a high top in the Bar and Tim the Tender was over pretty quickly as this place was filling up. Many families walking in. He and I discussed the wines by the glass and he was spot on, energetic and interested.\n\nSpent the next hour there and Miljan the Manager came over and we discussed the poor experiences we just had on property.\nHe could not have been more professional and caring. This is a true Team guy and Company Man.\nBetween Tim and Miljan, I feel much better about this local resort and have also now found a scintillating Chilean Chardonnay.\nGreat to know there are people who 'live to work' versus 'working to live'!!"^^ .
