text: There is something ironic about AZ It really is a bit of a paradox But not neatly so On one hand the words that other people have used to imply the vibe of the place are fair It really is all of those things assuming euphuistic grandiose inflated magniloquent pompous showy and sometimes downright snobbish thank you thesauruscom It is in Scottsdale People dress up to go here Coyotes are always on the prowl That being said they have sandwiches people in khaki shorts and tshirts sitting on plastic chairs outside in the degree Phoenix winters and mediocre service sometimes downright slow So I still cannot quite get my head wrapped around this place One thing I did learn is to avoid the cocktail menu unless you are an American Express Red member One night a friend and I ordered a martini each and our bill came to With tip almost Thanks but no thanks So this place is the yin and the yang the best of times and the worst of times the id and the superego I think that you almost have to go once just to decide if you love it or hate it
