This may be the longest Yelp review in the history of written form, so I apologize. It's worth reading. Please share. After my last experience, Louis, the founder/owner of WIldflower contacted me about my review. He didn't pull an Amy's Baking on me. He was very kind, caring, and asked me very specific questions about what happened last time. We even spoke on the phone and had a lengthy conversation about it. It was very nice to get to know him, and understand his passion for good food, and great service. We also talked about some of Wildflower's charitable work with some non-profit groups like Komen. He was very concerned about my bad experience, and wanted to make things right. Not just by giving me my money back, but by fixing what was wrong. By the end of our conversation, I offered to come back to the restaurant on my own dime, with no expectations for my money back. I told him that I did appreciate the kind gesture. A week later, in the mail, I received a refund, a gift card for one meal, AND a receipt for a very generous donation to the Komen foundation. Earlier, I had told him about a friend who was a breast cancer survivor. I was moved by this donation. Today, I went back to Wildflower, and used my gift card. So in full disclosure, I write this review. I ordered the a sandwich with roasted sweet potato, fresh mozzarella, fig confit, tomato, arugula, marinated fennel and Balsamic Vinaigrette on Herb Focaccia. It was like heaven on a plate. The mozza and fig confit was the pairing that is a match made in heaven. Think Stockton and Malone. Jordan and Pippen. Jay Z and Beyonce. Donny and Marie. Yeah. That freaking amazing. The Focaccia was pillowy soft and a delight. I want more. On the side, I had the passion mango slaw. It was simply....great. This was one of the rare occasions that I enjoyed a sandwich without ordering meat. I was shocked, but I was feeling adventurous. I am really sad about leaving Scottsdale, because this is one place I honestly could see myself visiting weekly. Last time, I complained about the long wait. Perhaps it's due to the high quality. I'm not sure what happened last time. Maybe it was an off-morning. Read all the other reviews. They are fairly consistent. I am very happy with my return to Wildflower. I am very glad I gave it another shot. Louis, you are a great businessman, and your breadheads are fantastic people. When I come back to visit Scottsdale, I will pay you a visit.

Won't waste my time coming back here. With nobody around on a Sunday night, the 9:30pm showing of a movie nearly empty, we were refused tickets because I didn't have my ID to prove I was over 21. Really? I'm frickin' old enough to be your mother, kid. Was told we could see another movie on the forks side. For $30? No, thanks. AMC MAJOR FAIL! I'll just spend my money elsewhere.

My girlfriend and I woke up this morning hungry for something different. She recommended Dunkin Donuts, citing that she had been there several times in the past and loved it. She told me that they not only sell donuts, but they have other breakfast items as well. This piqued my interest. So, off we went. Upon entering, we felt like unwelcomed guests. The cashier seemed to be hurrying us, even though there was no one in there besides us...at least no one waiting to order. The cashier, who's nametag read "Miss Deidre" was helpful in ways (recommending the everything bagel to me) and very rude in others (when I told her this would be a to go order, she got all huffy and puffy and all but rolled her eyes at me). I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich with a decaf coffee and hashbrowns and my girlfriend ordered the ham and cheese flatbread with an iced coffee(which she threw out the moment we left). The coffee, which I had always heard such great things about, was watery and tasted stale and old. Two or three minutes after ordering, the guy making our food informed us that they were out of the ham and cheese flat bread. He asked if she wanted the ham and cheese on something else. She said 'no' and then he said 'Well, I can make you the ham and cheese on the flat bread, but we're out of the pre-made ones'...huh? So ., they have the ham, the cheese and the bread, but not the sandwich?? Weird. When we got home, and started on the food, it did not take long to realize that it was abysmal. The hashbrowns were old and burnt tasting...as if the fryer oil hadn't been changed in a month. My girlfriend's sandwich was...well....flat(forgive the pun). The bagel sandwich tasted like something one would expect on a delta flight in 1986. The only thing good about it was that the everything bagel that I got it on didn't have carway seeds, which I hate. I will never go back there.

I have been coming here a few times for lunch every time that I have friends that fly in. It's been our "tradition place" We always make reservations, but never need them as lunch tends to be a slow time for them. We always get excellent service. Food is always good. I usually get the 6oz Petitie Filet Mignon which is always good and cooked perfectly. While you wait for your food a basket of hush puppies is served. A good place to eat when you're with friends or out on a date. The only slight negative thing to say is that the asparagus, which I love eating, usually isn't cooked perfectly.
