                                              Our experience wasn't horrible, but not really outstanding. The service seemed a little slow, although our waiter was polite and did check on us. But the food seemed to take awhile to come out. Also, none of us (five total) were really impressed with our entrees. I order the AB Burger, and the meat was so well done it was hard and dry. My companions had a little better luck with their orders, but no one thought there was anything particularly noteworthy about their dishes. I'd give it another try, but wouldn't be my first choice for dining downtown.

                                              Had a wonderful meal before attending the Phx Symphony's Holiday Pops concert. We shared the simple salad which was more than enough as a starter. Jay, our server provided an empty bowl to share without asking. We had the grilled Atlantic salmon and the grilled seabass, both perfectly cooked and delicious with steamed asparagus, artichokes, and tomatores. We shared the hot brownie desert with ice cream, a perfect topper to a great meal.

                                              This is my favorite restaurant in downtown Phoenix. I have been coming since I covered it as a reporter years ago when it opened. I enjoyed my favorite dish—fish and chips—while looking out at the Phoenix Suns crowd I would be joining afterwards right across the street!

                                              We were excited for our dinner location after we had been recommended it 3 times from separate people. We were a larger group of people. The appetizers were excellent. We had the the charcuterie board, the salmon rillette, and the spinach artichoke dip. I had the sea bass for dinner and the fish was hot but all the vegetables and olives were very cold. The general consensus was that the food was just okay. We sat on the patio and because it is next to a busy street it was very loud at times because of the traffic.

                                              Service was very good. The only negative was really how the food was prepared. The appetizer, meatballs were just warm. Pasta entree, way over cooked and the meatloaf entree also just warm. The flavors, all very good.
