People just have to let me know. They go to a restaurant in the greater Phoenix area, and they either loved it or hated it--there's not much in between! I created these pages so that you, the visitors to About Phoenix, could have your say. As for the rating, one star is the worst, five stars is the best.
Now, a word of warning--every once in a while I'll get a review from someone who has a specific agenda in mind. A really bad review might be from a disgruntled employee. A really good review might be from the owner or manager. Unless I specifically mention that I have edited a review for some reason, you see the comments posted here exactly as I received them.

I celebrated my birthday here not too long ago. The chef/owner worked with me personally to create a special menu just for my party. I was very impressed with the attention I received and the dinner was a hit! The restaurant has a great atmosphere and Grace (our server) was so helpful! She gave us just the right amount of service, but also let us celebrate without interfering. Scottsdale should be so proud to have a restaurant like this with such great service and food. The wine list was superb as well. I have never been to another restaurant where the wine list is so extensive. The food is very unique and you would not be able to find any of the options at another restaurant!

I love this restaurant. I've been in a few times and had excellent service, food, and wine every single time. They have wine tastings every Thursday (make a reservation, they're popular!) and the atmosphere is so nice. I love their foie gras, and their crispy goat cheese. This is truly a gem in the Scottsdale scene.
