They are one of the last places in Old Town that take reservations, thank goodness!\n\nNone of us had been here before so we thought it would be a great place for a birthday dinner. \n\nThe look of the place is great! Nice big bar with plenty of seats and cocktail tables, and separate from the dining area. The acoustics are a bit rough though, very loud once the place is full. \n\nThe service was OK. I know that they were busy, I mean geezus, did we miss the memo for batchlorette party night. We literally saw three different parties come in to eat there that night. It was pretty funny. The server even said that wasn't abnormal, weird! Just a few notes: please clear that table of discarded plates as soon as you can, a messy cluttered table is no good, and please check back with the table after getting the order and dropping plates. We always needed something and no sign of our server. \n\nThe food was great! We had the brussel sprouts and pretzel with this awesome creamcheese/butter/grainie mustard spread to start. So good and perfect for sharing with a group. Then since we were all in our tight dresses and high heels we didn't want to fill up too much so we split a few chicken sandwiches and one got the fillet. All were great. The sandwich had this yummy spicy aoli on it, so good! The fillet wasn't a traditional dish, came with some barley concoction underneath, she said it was awesome. \n\nThey were even so kind as to bring out a little something sweet for the birthday girl complete with a a candel to make a wish. \n\nI am a bit old fashioned when it comes to service, so I was a bit displeased with the service as everyone else in my party had a blast. \n\nAll in all I will be back, but probably just in the bar. They are a great addition to the Scottsdale scene, chill, good beer, great food, and great bartenders!"^^ . . . "0"^^ . "2012-09-05T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ . "2"^^ .
