WE had the best experience at Dominick's for a team business dinner. I had requested a quiet area and they were able to make this work for us, which I extremely appreciated. Nick, our waiter for the evening was INCREDIBLE! His recommendations were fantastic and accurate. Love how they are a good team and they work together to give out an excellent customer service. Definitely will be returning in the future. Thank you for the amazing service and experience.

The food at the Mission in Scottsdale is sooooo good! We got table side guac service from Sam the Man (we dubbed him that because he was so adorable). Our waitress suggested a mocktail since we weren't drinking and that too was so good. Loved their chicken tacos, steak tacos, chips, salsa...and even the holiday decorations. Such a wonderful evening. Go, treat yourself!

It was mynson and my birthday and there was no acknowledgement of our birthdays even though it was on the reservation so that was disappointing. Otherwise, the food was good.

First time going here and always wanted to try it. Definitely felt like a locals hang out with a few people celebrating birthdays that gave it some charm. Not very crowded and service was great. Loved the sticky buns, but they seem better suited for an after dinner treat.
