Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Old Town Scottsdale

I love the relaxed feel of this place. Herb crusted Lamb was amazing. Salmon Wellington was new and beautifully prepared. Service was great start to finish. I definitely would return to try more dishes.

We had dined here 2 or 3 years ago and it was good. Now it is OUTSTANDING! Between 4 of us we had 8 small pates. The special duck salad of the day was so good. The focaccia unique dips, , the mushrooms had a fabulous earthy flavor to them. The crab stack creative and the dressing on the cherry tomatoes in the stack was very good. Duck fat roasted potatoes and Beef tartare were very tasty. It's hard to compare everything to what you already have tasted, so our last 2 items were our least favorite, but perhaps we were full by then? the Ribs & flatbread . Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the food and maybe a bit too explanatory about the wine. ( But better too much info than too little.) It's interesting that we had such a wonderful evening because our first impression was very negative. I had requested indoor seating on the app. When we arrived, the hostess tired to push us onto a patio table (it was cold out, even with heaters). When I said 'no, we requested inside' she made a big huff, took us to our table (3others available inside too) and dropped (threw) our menus down. Not a word about 'enjoy your meal or anything, no eye contact or smile. . She is not doing this place any favors being the first encounter your guests get.

Great experience at this very special dinner. I especially liked how receptive and welcoming they were to a solo diner. Highly recommended, whether for bar bites, one of the weeknight menus or a special event.
