text: I have visited this restaurant several times when visiting Scottsdale predominantly due to its proximity to the hotel I stay atnnFirst and foremost the waitstaff and bartenders are some of the friendliest and attentive I have seen They take no blame herennProbably the best fare here is the burgers they are hard to mess up and you can always add more condimentsnnThis week I was there twice first with a group where we had appetizers and dinner I had some form of a springroll a Caesar salad and a salmon entree the first night and another Caesar and a sandwich made from shortribsnnI realized that it is highly probable that the kitchen must consist of a row of deepfat fryers and microwaves since most of the fare is either fried or reheated Having eaten the fare here and noted others plates it seems that they must be purchasing precooked items from Costco or an equivalent warehouse store and just reheatingnnCertainly the appetizers are frozenfare that seemed obvious and not unusual for this type of venue But clearly the perfectly rectangular pieces of fish soaked in tangy sauce is also from the deepfreeze as is the meat which purpotedly is a shortrib it appeared more like my greatgrandmothers potroast except for the gooey somewhat coagulated fatnnNow I actually kind of like that kind of food but not so much when the frozen salmon filet easily purchased at about filet was served for nearly and a sandwich made of shortribs contained more bread filler and grease than meat again with a deference to frozen concoction for and the caesar salad for which was just a regular old chopped iceberg lettuce salad with a squirt of cheap pseudocaesar dressing no croutons no cheese no bread no nothingnnThe problem here is value it is just far to highly priced for the quality of the product which is servednnOn a side note they apparently have live entertainment on certain nights from what I experienced I would suggest a better vetting process oldguy with guitar who fries the PA system first then has no volume at all later does not help Amateur night is best left for other venues which cater to cheap karaoke
