We didn’t know what to expect, but turned out to be a great pick overall. The food was delicious and our kids both gave it a thumbs up. We would definitely return if we lived in Scottsdale.

I took my family there last night, and everything was spectacular! We sat on the patio, and three of us ordered the Korean Ribeye Cap, one ordered the Fish & Chips, one ordered a pasta dish, one ordered a salad, and the child in our group got the Chicken tenders. We also ordered the Brussel spouts and the Pretzel Bites for appetizers. Every dish we ordered was cooked properly and tasted great, and the service was top notch! Thank you so much for the awesome pre-Thanksgiving meal with my family!

First impression: the space is very warm and laced with lovely plants everywhere! The hostess was attentive and even the manager came to make sure we were taken care of. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and had no qualms on giving her honest recommendations. We ordered one of their cocktails and one mocktail which were both delicious. We had the burned tips, the truffle mushroom pasta which is made fresh in-house, and the asparagus. Everything was lovely. I would definitely recommend.
