   Lovely, classy, quiet patio in the middle of Old Scottsdale. All four of us had the burger which was exceptional. Fries were fine (not amazing) and the brussel sprouts were unique and delicious. Will definitely go again.

   First time eating here, though we've been often to The Gladly and Citizen's Public House. I ordered the burger which I found very disappointing. First time out, tepid temp, unmelted cheese. To his credit our waiter took it right back to bring me a new one. This one was certainly hotter, but the taste, texture and thickness of the burger was disappointing, certainly when compared to comparably priced places - I'd note that I really have enjoyed the burgers at Public House. My wife ordered the special and was pleased overall. The restaurant is very, very casual.

   Food was a little disappointing but not bad by any means. Cute spot, servers were sweet and competent, kitchen and bar were crowded with servers which makes it seem disorganized and takes away from the elegant indoors.

   We were pleasantly surprised with the ambiance sitting on the patio. They didn't rush us and checked us in at a good pace. The service was good, and the detailed description of the food choices and quality was excellent, especially the sweet choices! Overall, a good time was had by our party of four. Booking well in advance recommended.

   Great as expected. Menu is limited, perhaps mostly by my food allergies but still enjoyed what I was able to eat. We got to sit inside with doors open (February) so temp was great. Hoping it's cooler this summer than last.

    Overall excellent experience. Excellent service and food recommendations. Delicious food. Really nice ambience on the patio in the early evening. But where are the carrots I read so much about on prior reviews? They really could use a vegetable side dish. We had the burrata to start, the crab and shrimp roll with fries, the pork bowl and the raspberry cake for dessert. The only thing that was pedestrian were the fries. That is where a vegetable side dish would have been appreciated. Everything else was very tasty. The burrata was particularly outstanding; not your average burrata dish by any means. Will be going back and want to check the restaurant out for breakfast/brunch.
