    Introduced to the place via Chef Mark Tarbell’s, Check, Please! Arizona. This place is simply beautiful. We arrived early to have a cocktail at the bar. Jake made great suggestions based on their wide ranging program. We then sat down for dinner - my wife having the chicken while I had the Norwegian trout fish special. Both of these dishes were excellent. Olivia provided great service and guidance through the menu. Parking was fairly easy and they do validate. We will be back.

    Food was amazing! Waiter was extremely helpful and made sure we got the right drinks not the most expensive drink. Made it feel good ordering what we wanted and helped us celebrate the occasion
