    food was mediocre, soda machine was down, fried chicken was cooked in burnt oil and was overcooked. burrata came 30 minutes late and service was mediocre and slow. kitchen closed for dinner while we were there and we weren't made aware. overall, probably will not return. coconut water and juices were great and the polenta was as all.

    Probably because we were there for restaurant week, but it didn't come close to the experience I had prior. The short ribs were barely sauced, the chicken my wife had was overcooked, and the butter cake was way off (felt more like an extremely dense Blondie). I know part of RW is to get new people in and simplify the menu to keep prices lower, but I've dined here before and was excited to show my wife more of the menu—we left feeling pretty "meh" about it.

    The food was amazing, colorful and full of flavor. Portions are small so we enjoyed several menu items more like topas to share: arugula salad, shortrib pasta, and the smoked beets. It was my birthday and they provided a complementary chocolate mousse cake dessert that was incredible. Not many restaurants offer free desserts today. It was a great treat. Thank you.

    We tried four small plates and everything was delicious. Well plated with fresh ingredients. Our new favorite restaurant in the valley. Oh and they make a fantastic margarita. We will be back soon.

    Went for brunch with a large group of friends, the restaurant took care of us and made sure we had our own area and waitress. The food and service was great!

    This place is a gem. I haven't been in a long while, and I'm not sure why. I feel as though I really miss out on some pretty good food. When the weather is nice, you definitely want to go here because they have such a good outdoor space for being in the city. It feels like you're somewhere else. I like how there are different sections of the restaurant for different ways you'd like to experience the night: traditional eating, large group get-together, or an intimate night at a little shed-like bar, with other seating areas on the grounds that just feel relaxing. This is a great concept, and I hope it stays around for a long time. I know how these Phoenix restaurants like to disappear when it seems like everything is going fine.
