This is a trendy little eatery in N. Scottsdale neighborhood with great indoor and outdoor seating. Some of the food was good, and some was very good. I tried the deviled eggs, green Chile chili with corn bread, fried chicken with Colcannon, (mashed potatoes & kale). The menu is on the larger side. The corn bread and chili, and deviled eggs were the best. Drinks were good, but not great. I had a prickly pear margarita. Definitely worth a try.

Overall, an excellent experience. July 4th. We had a party of 7, three generations. Food quality was excellent, ingredients fresh and the execution and presentation superb. Atmosphere is rustic casual southwest. Nice volume ceilings, great AC. ice tea was outstanding, a tropical hint, did not need any sweetener. Grilled prime rib was slightly dry, but very juicy and flavorful with slight mesquite flavor. Harshraddish was perfect. Mac n cheese was firm and flavorful, one of the best I've had. Side of mashed potato was good, real potato but added in with kale which I didn't need. Guacamole was house made, generally good but not great, to my liking it needed a touch of jalapeño. The chips were crisp, warm and flavorful. Cesear salad was ok, romaine was ok, dressing needed more lemon and Worcester to my preference. Parmesean was great. Short rib nachos were amazing, slightly spicy. The bo bently cocktail was reportedly great. Our server was knowledgeable and patient, very attentive and professional, and friendly. The place is not quiet, but we had no issues with conversation. For the quality, it is a great value, but a bit expensive overall. Highly recommended. They have dishes benefiting dog charity and other causes. We definitely appreciated the chef inspired dishes and creativity.

Short rib taco platter. YUM. So delicious. Great server. Good ambiance, especially if you're not alone, I imagine. Drinks sounded so good but I didn't partake. Lots of good looking stuff to try.

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was outstanding—full of flavor and beautifully presented. What truly made our visit exceptional was the incredible service. Savannah was our waitress and she was fantastic—attentive, warm, and genuinely kind. Matt and Jenny were also incredibly helpful and made us feel so welcome. You can tell the staff truly cares about creating a great dining experience. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Food is amazing, the tortilla are made fresh in house and you can taste it. The ahi tuna was perfect lightly seared on the outside. My wife ordered the green chili burger and wow, she never finishes her burger but this time she did! To drink, my wife had the fresca papina drink, she loved it! Atmosphere was amazing, I would recommend sitting outside.

What a cute spot! Great food and service! Had a nice lunch. Brussel sprouts salad and black bean soup were delicious. The fries are amazing! The kids meal included fruit and fries which was great. Everything came pretty quick as well.

This meal was delicious! The parking lot was intimidating at first, but there was a complimentary valet, so you don’t have to worry about finding parking yourself. The corn bread was spectacular and the deviled eggs were the best I’ve had. We ordered short rib and prime ribeye tacos, which come on a packed platter with a side of corn tortillas to build how you would like them. Highly recommend sitting on the patio if you have a chance.
