Really great experience at this restaurant. The server (can’t remember his name) from NY was outstanding and made the experience memorable. Loved the Baja tacos and the pumpkin bread pudding.

Food was great. They recommended their special flaming cheese appetizer and it was delicious. The salmon and lamb shank were also delicious. The service was not up to our expectations as there were a lot of staff standing around and our server was too quick to disappear and the appearances in between were spotty. Our expectation would be the staff standing around would be working as a team and this was not the case, not for the price level of this place, we expected better in terms of the service. Compliments to the kitchen, but suggest you get the front of house up to the same level.

Delicious! The food was so good! We had the focaccia, crisp and dips accompanied great pairing. Our server Jay super knowledgeable. Offered suggestions! The few things I would say that were little was the confusion at the hostess stand and not a lot of smiles. Some of the uniforms seemed dingy and too small. The decor was beautiful-tile-wine wall-separate party room! A must when in Arizona!

It was our anniversary and we truly enjoyed every aspect of the experience. Jadah and her assistant in particular were a wonderful server combo. The bone in New York steak was at a great steakhouse level. Lovely evening.
