text: My hopes for this place were high and I was sadly let downnn star Location It was within a decent drive to the house for what I hoped it would have promised nn star DecorAtmostpheremusic It was very eclectic and i liked it Lighting was right visually appealing music was playing decent tunage and not too loudnnMy intentions were to try a few things on the menu and to try a few different wines I had relatives in from out of town and thought it might be nice to take them out to a new place that was different than their normal restaurant experience Ever since moving to Phoenix I have seen a trend in unique dining experiences and wanted to sharennI suppose I might be a little partial seeing as how my goto place for a similar atmostpheremenu choice when i lived in Scottsdale was Postinos But since the drive is now much further I was hoping it was at least comparablennNevertheless the wine that was recommended was not even what we were looking for The waitress openly admitted to being a beer drinker but liked wine after she saw our face from our first sip and failed to deliver with her choices While i respect the honesty of your lack of knowledge do not recommend a wine to me please Just say you are unfamiliar with the selection but would happy to find someone who isand sincerely ASKnnFrom there we ordered the bruschetta as i was excited to share in this also My family is Italian and the type of bruschetta we are used to is nothing like what is offered here so they were in for a treator so i had hopednnWhen our food arrived it was visually appealing but as soon as I picked it up i was disappointedwithout having even tasted it The bread was limp and lacking a crustcrunch of any sort and the slices were thin Sandwich bread anyonennIn turn they had piled the toppings on Yes on bread that was incapable of holding the toppings The flavors were bland and it was a messysoggy situation At that point we chose to ask for our check and go elsewhere We blamed it on the limited menu that did not fit all of the guest appetitebut there were obviously other issues nnI truly wish things had been different but I will not be going backnnOh and PS This was very much an older crowd when i was there Since i have only been there once i cannot vouch for what the average age group is but if you are in your sI would advise finding something a little less We are trying WAY too hard to be hip and cool nnThat is all
