I used to go there twice a month on Sundays simply for lunch/brunch with friends but stopped cold turkey about 8 months ago. Although the Sunday lunch/brunch menu had been limited and a bit pricey, their Angus burgers, pulled pork sandwiches and salads were exceptional. Service was okay as some of their wait staff could have used an attitude adjustment but they were tolerable, especially when completely ignored. Then, the chef or manager apparently decided to take a really good thing and, in my opinion, wreck it wholesale by turning the menu into his or her personal experiment or culinary statement by eliminating most of what many patrons had found great favor with and replacing them with ho-hum creations that were short on taste and pizazz but long on hoity-toity descriptions. That sudden and dramatic change, coupled with their high prices and occasionally acerbic wait staff sent me and my friends packing, off to find a suitable replacement. Fortunately, that's absolutely no problem in a city like Scottsdale as terrific eateries abound. Now, maybe in the months since I stopped going there, they've revisited their menu offerings and improved upon the service. So, to those ends I cannot now speak. I don't mind paying more to get more but paying more at the time to enjoy it less seemed pointless.
Pros: spacious and comfortable seating; conversation-friendly
Cons: lunch/brunch menu is uninspired; wait staff can be sarcastic
