Problem: I really wanted to like TAO but it was WAAAYYYYYYY too crowded to dance. We left after 15 minutes....

Problem: A quick check on the Internets revealed an enticing 25$ after 22hr special that brought us to the door. The idea of a fixed priced menu at a late night hour along with being in close proximity to a college, where a money pinched student can take a date, sounds effective. All the while having a clean cut and somewhat intimate setting, it certainly can be. As we seat ourselves, the expected rush of college-aged patrons appears, standing out in black pea coats with white shell top sneakers and the like. Table service is typical of any French bistro; we sampled a mid-ranged Syrah blend that suited us. There was a crab cake that was much different than any variant found around the Chesapeake, a patty consisting of pulverized crabmeat and bits of vegetables, decent but incomparable and thus forgetful. The escargot and tube pasta ragout, that came lukewarm, had a mild combination of snail and portabella flavor. A dish that still feels light even with a butter-basil sauce. I noticed that there is a porch outside, for those reading during warmer months. Hanger steak is noticeably tougher than the more darling cuts from the loin; however, the temperature was spot on for what was asked. Flanked by perfect fries and topped with garlic butter, the steak was properly lubed, nearly as supple as those fancy cuts. A leg of duck, with skin so crispy, was tender and robust. For dessert, a simple creme brulee was shared; cracking through the sugar crust like applauds for the simple yet well cooked entrees. You won't lose any brownie points here, that's for sure.

Problem: This is my girlfriend's go to place for pampering every time she's in Scottsdale, so of course we came here for our pedis. Even though we didn't make an appointment, they were able to fit us in right away. We picked our colors and sat down in the massage chairs while they filled the foot baths for us. We both went with the basic pedi which included nail shaping, massage and polish application. It was probably one of the best pedis I've gotten. It was a full foot/leg massage and my feet were buffed and smooth all over - not just the heels like most times I get a pedi. It only cost ~$40 including tip, and my pedi stayed fresh (no polish chips at all) for 3 weeks.
