text: Dined on Friday My wife and I recently moved to the Phoenix area from Chicago and I really had no idea about where to dine It was my wifes birthday and I wanted to dine at least at a star restaurant so I came to Yelp for advicennOur reservation was pm and we arrived at pm We were invited to sit in the lounge area which we did and I expected to do so since we were so early We sat in the lounge for about mins and were not approached by a server In fact I thought there were no servers since I saw none on the floor so I went to the bar and ordered myself just like I would at a Chicago neighborhood bar IrkDrinks were good and strong but REALLY pricey for drinksnnAround pm we went back to the hostess desk as no one came to get us for our reservation yet they said they would find us in the lounge We were told our table still was not ready and to wait by the fireplace I was a little peeved now and Iwould have expected to wait if I was late but we were sufficiently on time I thought nnWe were seated after waiting another mins or so pm mins lateIrk The wait staff I thought were pretty good overall They did a lot of table hopping ie covered each others tables so diners were well taken care of yet not too pushy or chattynnWe both ordered the lobster bisque soup I ordered the halibut and my wife ordered the scallops Bread was not brought to the table until after we ordered dinner which was mins after we were seated irk The sourdough bread was excellent The focaccia bread was kind of bland and dry There were dipping sides offered with the bread which were very good nnLobster bisque was quite delicious They put this hydroponically infused basil seasoning on top of the soup that was very good I thought the soup was a little overcooked sitting in the pot too long taste but still good My dinner arrived hot and the halibut was bland and little overcooked panfried I asked for more pieces of the sourdough bread to eat with my dinner and we were told they were out of sourdough irk Friday night dinner service and out of bread Really My wifes scallops were cool as well as her vegetable sides on the plate irk The waiter did not check on us until mins after the dinner was serves irk so it was not feasible to send it back to get reheated The waiter offered us comp deserts for the trouble at leastnnThe last irk was that we asked for a bag to put our leftover take home boxes in total boxes The waiter said they were out of bags He checked twice and the rd time brought us a Home Depot bag I asked if he went to his car to get it How difficult would it have been for the restaurant manager to go down to the gift shop and grab a couple of dozen bags nnMaybe my expectations are too high since I am from Chicago but when a restaurant is rated stars by all of you Yelpers I expect a little better service when dropping a couple of hundred bucks Other than the view and the ambiance I would not recommend this restaurant
