    Such an experience for my daughter's 20th birthday dinner. We sat out on their covered patio which was a real treat. The food was outstanding and the ambiance took us back to trips in Paris. One of our favorite eateries in Scottsdale.

    Probably by far the most amazing restaurant/experience my boyfriend and I have had in Scottsdale, AZ. Our waiter (both times we attended and ate here) Logan was undeniably 1 of the most polite, experienced, and best waiter we have had in quite some time. Remembered our order from last time we were there and treated us great! I would recommend him to anyone who decides to go here and we will DEFINITELY be back!!!

    The food in this unexpected and out of the way spot is absolutely fabulous - and consistently so. The wait staff is long-tenured and knows their menu and wine list well. Happy hour is an added bonus. We have been many times and each dining experience has been wonderful. Food is creative and expertly prepared - the wine list is carefully curated and affordable. Do not hesitate to try The Mick, but book early. It is popular (in screret) in crowded at times.
