"2011-01-26T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . "I so very much wanted to push this to 4 stars, but I just can't. I probably would push it to four if I was more into stuff like Jicama and Quinoa. I can certainly respect those who go batty over ultra-healthy gluten-free food, I just happen to NOT be one of them, so my taste buds are not properly calibrated for a balanced review of Nourish's offerings. I still may revise this to 4 stars based on my next visit. It is that close of a call for me!!\n\nBasis: About 8 visits due to proximity to my office.\n\nThe Good: About 1/2 of the entrees (including the unique pizzas, the rice bowl, and the salmon) and about 2/3 of the appetizers (especially the mac'n'cheese and the very uniquely presented hummus, with pita and carrots). The salads look great. Drink Menu is impressive, nice retail section for beer and wine. Can't say enough about the staff (or the ever-present owner) - they are really great folks, very helpful friendly. The gentleman who usually tends the bar there is quite skilled. They have Crusoe Spiced Rum here...that's some hard to find stuff!\n\nOh, and the location is in PRIME Scottsdale, in one of its most visible office and residential complexes (the Optima). Great, clean decor\n\nThe Bad: The remaining entrees and appetizers aren't uniformly bad, but the taste and quality can be awfully uneven. On a peak time visit, the apricot/chipotle meatloaf was sadly presented and had poor texture and flavor, and my wife's order of quiche was far too soggy. On an off-peak visit, the quiche was significantly better. Kitchen and staff can get overwhelmed at peak times (but are so very speedy on off-peak times). There is also a decided lack of \"unhealthy\" items for the fat-seekers in a large group. Unisex bathroom. \n\nThe Ugly: Parking can be a complete mystery here if you don't know what you're doing and if the Valet isn't present."^^ . . . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . .
