   Food was a little disappointing but not bad by any means. Cute spot, servers were sweet and competent, kitchen and bar were crowded with servers which makes it seem disorganized and takes away from the elegant indoors.

   We were pleasantly surprised with the ambiance sitting on the patio. They didn't rush us and checked us in at a good pace. The service was good, and the detailed description of the food choices and quality was excellent, especially the sweet choices! Overall, a good time was had by our party of four. Booking well in advance recommended.

   Overall excellent experience. Excellent service and food recommendations. Delicious food. Really nice ambience on the patio in the early evening. But where are the carrots I read so much about on prior reviews? They really could use a vegetable side dish. We had the burrata to start, the crab and shrimp roll with fries, the pork bowl and the raspberry cake for dessert. The only thing that was pedestrian were the fries. That is where a vegetable side dish would have been appreciated. Everything else was very tasty. The burrata was particularly outstanding; not your average burrata dish by any means. Will be going back and want to check the restaurant out for breakfast/brunch.

   Generally ok. Two of the dishes we had were lacking in flavor - the wings were very average. Many far better places to eat in Scottsdale.

   We had a wonderful dinner here! We sat at the bar and started with the focaccia bread which was to die for! Had the wedge salad and then the salmon which was cooked so well! First time but will definitely be back@

   I was so happy to get the “Stetson” salad and my friend enjoyed it, too. Hubby had a good burger with fries and another friend had the poke bowl. I was disappointed that there wasn’t a Pinot Grigio by the glass, but Sauvignon Blanc was fine. Appetizers were ok…. Buratta salad didn’t have much flavor and Brussels sprouts was a very small portion for the money. I’d probably skip them both next time. We sat outside on a beautiful evening and would definitely come back for the patio. Service was very polite and helpful.

   Lovely restaurant with really interesting menu. The food is delicious, the service excellent and the ambiance fun and low key. We have been there twice and loved it.

    disappointd in the stetson salad. the salmon seemed raw and wet uneven pieces. Otherwise flavor was good. The happy hour was only for a few drinks no discount on anything else. plesent spot in old town, probably not our favorite .
