2 stars for now. I know they just opened but... First of all, a star for the decor and ambiance. It's so cute and colorful and comfy! We were worried there would be a wait (the place seemed packed) but were able to snag a spacious booth overlooking the kitchen. This may seem like a great idea, but I was able to watch food get sent back (3 different meals in the time we waited for ours) and see how long certain plates were left under hot lamps. Being able to watch the kitchen in action is neat in theory, but if you're well-versed in the ways of restaurant life, you'll catch these problems easily. Another star for service. Our server was sweet but slow...because I think she was overwhelmed. She would disappear for long stretches (as in, I couldn't find her in the whole place) and it took forever for coffee refills because they were out of glasses. Again, I don't fault her at all. I think that she must have been slammed. Every table in the place was taken. The food? Well. I ordered the Scottsdale burrito, and subbed cheddar for the goat cheese. Instead, it came with no cheese. The menu promised hash browns inside the burrito...and they were, and they were frozen shreds with no crisp or color to them. They blended in with the egg whites. Dammit. Boyfriend ordered the Odelay scramble, with a microscopic amount of chorizo. His side of breakfast potatoes was tasty, at least. Why couldn't they put THOSE potatoes in the burrito? Everything was just underwhelming. The place has a gigantic breakfast and lunch menu...maybe scale back and focus on making a smaller amount of items, but doing them REALLY well? We both agreed we'd give them one more shot if we're in the area and only if there isn't a wait. Otherwise, there are just too many solid breakfast places in Scottsdale.
