The food and service however were another story. We got there on time for 6:15pm reservations. When we got a chance to order I wanted to order the duck, but they were out already. I then ordered their version of beef wellington which as dry aged 90-day filet minion with caramelized onion and pate with a puff pastry with a Bordeaux sauce. The food came out an hour later. The puff pastry was a cup shaped overcooked hard mess. The filet was string and gamey and the texture was off. It was one of the worst representations of beef wellington I had ever seen or tasted. My expectations were high beause the dish was priced above $80.00. I ordered the short rib ravioli and it was overcooked on the edges and with same sinewy beef. The server was not apologetic and looked puzzed why I did not like either dish that and the fact the food took an hour to get to us did not give me a great birthday experience. If there were half stars I would give it. The wine was good. A pretentious little place that does not deliver

We went for a closed door chef led event and absolutely loved each well planned and executed dish. The scallops are flown in daily, the beef is from an az ranch and is dry aged a minimum of 90 days. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves great atmosphere, awesome service and incredible food. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $50–100

And, I love how they use locally sourced, organic, farm to table ingredients, nose to tail, and don 't use seed oils. So when we had the opportunity to reserve our spot after running an errand in Phoenix after driving in from Sedona, we hopped on it! We were not the only ones waiting outside for the doors to open at 4:30pm, and the place got full, fast. Our server, Alyssa, was super friendly and helpful when we didn 't know what to order at first. We had a prime seating at the counter where we could watch Chef Jason in action! They update their menu every week, based on the local ingredients that come in. We did start off with the Plate of Pickles and Roasted Mushrooms, and then had the Cochinita Pibil (red chili orange braised Terra Market Iberico) and the Iberico Pork Ribeye. I can 't speak for the few reviews here that complained about too little food, or it being too expensive, because we eat a lot, AND we had take home leftovers because there was such an abundance of food! The food pricing was balanced, and commensurate to the level of food, which was AH-MAZING!! Off the bat, we noticed that Chef Jason used many layers of flavor profiles in each dish that all work together synergistically, with various unique sauces, pickled items (which are gut friendly), thoughtful accompaniments, and you can tell it 's made with lots of intention and love. He used a lot of cast iron skillets, and his whole team in front of, and in, the kitchen were super hospitable and friendly, and Chef Jason checked in with us to make sure our food was to his liking. It was all so delicious, and Alyssa made sure we had everything we needed. We were so glad that they had many gluten-free items to choose from! When he brought out his ribeye masterpiece (it was like a work of art), we were so excited, and Chef Jason summed it all up when he told us, Good food should be shared amongst good people. Thank you, Chef Jason, Alyssa, and team for the amazing meal and experience! We 'll be back.

The food is just incredible, great quality and flavor, cooked perfectly, and some very unique items. The food really does stand out as being on a level above other places thatwe love. The crispy polenta street fries are incredible! We got the Chinese sausage steam buns this time and those werewonderful. We 've gotten the chicken dip in the past and that 's also amazing. The only thing we 've gotten that we weren 'timpressed with was the duck a l 'orange, which we just didn 't think the duck itself was very tender. Maybe it was just thatparticular one we had. But the fingerling potatoes that came with it were the best I 've ever had, it looked like they weresmashed and then fried so they were really crispy on the outside but soft in the center. And the orange sauce went great withthem. It 's really fun sitting at the bar because it 's right in front of the open kitchen, but be warned it does get a littlewarm if you 're the seat closest to the kitchen (worth it in my opinion). Waitress is always great (I forget her name but we 'veseen her a couple times). We 'll keep coming back and can 't wait to try more things on the menu!
