    Second time we’ve been there… server service a bit disappointing. She never checked up on us, was slow to refill ice teas, waited forever for our bill. We tried several times to flag our waitress to come over but never got her attention. It was not that busy.

    Pleasant, sophisticated space inside and out. Service by Tori was outstanding. Menu is more limited than one might expect, but quality and presentation are both stellar.

    The outdoor patio was great and service too. I had the cheeseburger and glad it was the Monday night special for $10 as the bottom bun was over-toasted and overall just a cheeseburger. My wife enjoyed her Thai noodles.

    Enjoyable Scottsdale spot. Menu is basic—burgers etc—with good cocktail list albeit expensive. My burger was good but not very flavorful. My wife had prime rib that was very tasty but the au jus sauce was way too salty, almost inedible. Sides were OK with nicely done asparagus. We’ll likely return because we like the environment.
