    We were promptly seated on an indoor outdoor patio. All of the servers were attentive and friendly. The manager also checked on us a couple of times which was nice. It wasn’t intrusive. It was just a brief ‘Can I get you anything?’ which is always welcome. We ordered several appetizers, some noodles and a couple of entrées and just shared them with the table to get a taste of a bunch of different things. They did a great job at coursing out the food. The order was exactly as we had placed it. The timing was perfect and the food was very creative and delicious. The ambience is very cozy and charming. The restaurant wasn’t too loud, but it still had a good energy to it. My husband and I are debating if it is our new favorite restaurant in Phoenix. It is pretty exceptional in many ways. I highly recommend.

    Magnificent dinner at a quaint restaurant tucked away between stores. Chefs special of pork shank was incredible. They should keep this on the menu. Must have is th original chopped salad! It’s more than a salad- delectable and unique! I would highly recommend a patio table outside. Waitress was sweet, kind and friendly. She is a gem although I can’t recall her name. Will need to go back to try more dishes because there’s so many great options.
