   A place with a wonderful selection of goodies to try. Service was very good but can get a little backed up when very busy. The kitchen here knows what they are doing and do it well. Beautiful presentations with all dishes. Easy to become a regular here! Please note this wonderful place can get very loud. We overlook it as the food is very good!

   We rolled in here around 9:30 pm after our son’s graduation. They close at 10 but were incredibly gracious to take us. Our server Mark couldn’t have been more pleasant and upbeat. We felt bad for arriving so late and he kept assuring us it was no problem. He never rushed us and provided a welcoming experience. We had a fantastic meal and experience there.

   Our table ordered the rigatoni alla vodka, wild mushroom ravioli and the salmon. I've been here before but this was my first time to try the wild mushroom. I haven't been disappointed yet. Everyone was thrilled with their entrées.

   The food was great. Our original table outside was directly under the misters which was too much water on the ladies heads. They moved us to an inside table which put a wrench in the service. The food was good.

    For a Mother's Day it didn't seem to be real busy as usual. I specifically put in our reservations, along with celebrating Mother's Day we had to graduations. Not a peep was acknowledged. My husband and I shared a Caesar salad and Chicken parm., my son had Chicken Parm., my daughter had the Caesar Salad with Chicken. We ordered the Focaccia and a bottle of Jordan. The server took forever to bring pepper to the table, and when it arrived it didn't work, after hunting her down, she brought the big pepper mill. It was nice they split our Caesar for us, but why was my daughters Caesar's with chicken the same size as our split Caesar? I think you should serve a bread knife for the bread, we tried to use our butter knife that wasn't very successful. We ended up just tearing it apart. The wine and Chicken Parm was what we enjoyed the most, not so much the service tonight.

Live musician was very good, and not too loud. Ambiance was very pleasant. We will 100% return to this classy establishment.

    Service was so slow. One chicken entree was drowning in a pool of mashed potatoes. The other chicken breast entree was sprawled across the plate and also drowning in what tasted like store bought tomato sauce. Totally unappetizing presentations. Noise level totally inhibits any interaction with anyone at the table. Go with someone yiu do not want to speak to! This certainly could be modified with some soundproofing,

    Our server Mark was fantastic. He was on top of his game and extremely attentive and engaging. We started with a pizza as an appetizer which was enjoyable. Mark provided additional mozzarella cheese and red peppers as needed. We then split a Caesar salad which we enjoyed and split the salmon dinner. Overall, the food was excellent and came out in a reasonably timely manner though perhaps a little slow (hot but slow). We will definitely be back though in the future; we will likely get two entrees to share since the single entree left us still a little hungry. As always, it is a bit noisy.

    All was good until my husband found hair in his salad. The waiter did not apologize, the manager said nothing. The salad was replaced immediately. When the bill came, the new salad was added to the bill (the original salad was still there as well). When we spoke to the waiter, he removed the extra salad. We asked for the manager to come to the table- she never came. She did, however, adjust the bill by comping the salad. She never came to the table, never spoke with us. The waiter never said another word. The whole situation could have been addressed in a much more professional manner.

    Really enjoyed the Brunch here for the last few years . Big Menu changes for brunch and I am not a fan . Ordered the spinach artichoke skillet , which is basically spinach dip … Comes with no bread or chips or pita 🤔 You have to pay and Order a side of crostini . The crostini side was two small pieces of crostini for a large skillet of spinach dip , made zero sense . $18 spinach dip , apparently you are supposed to eat it with a spoon ?? We had to continue to order and pay for multiple sides of crostini .. for everyone to eat the dip . Chopped Salad on brunch marginal at best , shrimp was supposed to be grilled , Appeared to have never touched a grill , no Charr. Although flavor was good . The Brunch used to be amazing , 180 difference this time .

    Food not so hot; very average. With so many choices in Scottsdale, we won’t go back for brunch ever. Menu was very small; not good. Waitress was good but they need to improve the food. Pricey for what we got.
