    What a great menu and atmosphere for downtown Phoenix. It is a beautiful open space inside and outside you have great ambience with tables on the street. There is a great beverage menu also. I literally had the beset Seabass I have ever tasted in my life. The brussel sprouts were also the best I have ever had eaten. This is a great spot to have a date.

    Ate dinner on the outdoor patio. Started inside but the music was too loud to even have a conversation. The patio was perfect-not too loud and wonderful breeze blowing through. Dinner was good. I was looking forward to the Prime Rib all day but unfortunately, they were out of it (and the sea bass and scallops). I ended up getting the French dip, which was good. The service, drinks, and bruschetta trio were very good and my wife enjoyed the chicken. I would eat here again.

    We enjoy eating here before going to a game or a show. This time was no different, it was excellent! My wife had the chicken with crab topping, and I had the French dip which was incredible.

    The scallops and wild rice was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had in my life. Everything here is made from scratch, and it shows. We also had the oysters and the bruschetta trio for our appetizers, and those were stellar, as well. Very highly recommend!

    We met a couple friends for dinner and drinks prior to a Phoenix Mercury game. Our table was available immediately upon our arrival, all of the staff was very helpful and friendly, the food and drinks were all very good, two of us were splitting a meal and we were each served half of it - that was great… no need to make a mess of trying to slide part off to another plate. It was a little loud, making conversation a challenge, but that also got us geared up for the game. I can’t wait to go back.

    Hi Melissa! Thanks for the review, and for stopping by before the game! Glad we were able to deliver a good experience and make sharing easy! We’ll see you soon.

    Went with my wife on Sunday, enjoyed it so much I took a client there Wednesday for a business lunch. Both meals were outstanding. I loved the fish and chips and the Brussels sprout/ squash mix. I’ll be back whenever I’m in Phoenix.

    Hi Andrew! Thank you for the review and for coming back to see us again! I am so happy to hear that the food and service hit the spot both visits. We’ll see you next time you’re in town!

    A midday pause on the patio, the sun pooling like honey over the table. Morea moves between chairs with the grace of a heron—attentive, unhurried, his eye catching the tilt of a water glass, the pause before a question. A server who serves not just plates but quiet confidence. I returned to old comforts: a bowl of tomato soup, its surface a glossy scarlet, steaming gently in the Phoenix warmth. A sip, and there it is—the deep, caramelized sweetness of summer, tempered by a whisper of cream. A dish so familiar it feels like a conversation with an old friend. Then, the salad. A jumble of crisp and tender, sharp and cool. Bacon, brittle and salty, yielding to the buttery slide of avocado. Tomato, plump and sun-warmed, against the bite of red onion. Blue cheese crumbles, like nuggets of dusk, and croutons with a golden crunch. All bound by a buttermilk dressing, its tang a bright thread through the mosaic. A Tuesday lunch, simple yet precise. The kind of meal that leaves you not just fed, but noticed.
