Was not expecting how good this place was based on the stars. The macaroni was soooo delicious! The pasta was probably the most perfectly cooked pasta I've ever had. I'm not even exaggerating! It was sooo good! Plus it was the perfect balance of cheesy but liquidy as the same time. Their dessert menu is not lacking in any way. I will be coming back to update you guys on the chocolate skillet dessert! Update: I got the cookie skillet! I'm used to those being pretty large so it was actually nice to have a small enough portion to finish without feeling like you're going to explode afterwards. My friend got the cheese curds and they are a must if you like cheese at all! I thought they would be spicy since they were advertised with jalapeño but they weren't really spicy at all. Even the sauce was sort of sweet so if you're someone who doesn't like spice like me then these were perfect!

As a guest of the hotel I wanted something on site so I could avoid the heat. You seat yourself and there's only a few wait staff but they are prompt. I ordered a prickly pear lemonade, fish tacos, chips and guac, and sweet potato fries. The tacos were okay, they had a bean paste and then the fish but it was lacking. The chips and guac were good since they came out warm. The sweet potato fries were so good, perfectly crispy and thick cut. I also really enjoyed the lemonade. Food was tasty and convenient if you are staying at the hotel.

This lounge bar is inside the Scottsdale Plaza Resort. We were spending the weekend for Valentine's and while waiting for our room to be ready we decided to have a couple of drinks. I sat down alone while my husband checked on our room status at the front desk. There was a young lady standing around playing with her hair right by the cash register talking to herself loud enough for us to hear. Saying things like "this place is so boojee ". So I immediately looked for someone else. ANYONE with a brain. Thankfully the older, much nicer, much more professional lady, came just in time and she took our order. Not only was she professional, polite and fully dressed, but she had ideas of other drinks we might want to try. Hubby even had an Irish coffee which went great with the chill outside. Next time we go, I will make sure I mention this to the Manager, if I have a similar experience. I honestly didn't have time to babysit that little girl who forgot to finish getting dresses that day. Otherwise, I would have told the Manager that not only was she bad mouthing the clients, the establishment but also the co-workers and the fact that she had to be there. Hopefully, she will not be there next time LOL. If I see her I will run the other way LOL. Overall, it was a great experience and the professional fun older bartender made it a fun experience, and she deserves the stars!! Cheers!!!!

Fish tacos

We ate here for a few meals during a recent stay at the resort. Food and drink were better than expected. Reasonably priced. Low traffic place so perfect if you are trying to avoid crowds. If you are hanging out poolside, you can order inside and they will bring your food out.

When we first arrived they waiter stated that she would be right with us. She did not come back for about 15 minutes. I had to keep staring in her direction for her to finally come over. I ordered the Cactus bite off the drink menu & that was pretty good. For my entree I got the chicken/bacon Mac and cheese and BLAND is the nicest word I can think of. My husband had the jalapeño burger and loved it ! I did taste his fries and they were amazing! The three stars are due to the slow service and the bland Mac and cheese. It should be illegal to make Mac and cheese bland hahaha. It really is nice though and the live music is a plus as well!

I've heard about Craft 64 and we spotted it while driving through old town so decided to stop in…read morefor drinks and an appetizer. The hostess was very friendly and led us back to the community table near the bar. Our server/bartender was busy at the bar and taking orders. No smile, a no- nonsense personality which is fine, just not friendly at all. My husband and friend decided to do beer flights. They enjoyed except for one of the beers they said had no flavor. I opted for a Tito's dirty martini which is my favorite drink. They enjoyed the beer flights but unfortunately when my martini was delivered, I swore the glass hadn't been properly washed as it had a sweet, coffee taste. I let our server know and she immediately took it and said she would make another which was great. I did see her grab a new glass. Unfortunately the new martini tasted exactly the same. Almost like a terrible espresso martini with olive juice. It was not drinkable. Either she didn't know how to make a dirty martini or the olive juice or vermouth went bad. I couldn't stomach the drink and felt nauseous so left it. We ordered a Chef's Board. Cheese selections, plus pepperoni, salami, prosciutto, mixed nuts & fruits, olives and fig jam. They missed the nuts, fruit and olives. The meat and cheese were good but it was a basic board. We should have ordered the pizza instead as everyone around us had a pizza and it smelled delicious. Our first visit was not the best experience, however, we may give it another try and check out the pizza instead.

I'm so glad I finally got to check this place out, it was such a vibe!…read more I came around 530 pm on a Tuesday and it was busy. There is a small parking lot that they share with the coffee shop next door, but it was full and I had to park on the street. Indoor/outdoor seating is available, and it was the perfect night for being outside. I loved the string lights and the sunset was awesome. They offer beer, cider and white claw here. The person working let me sample a few beers before I decided on the Birthday Suit beer. It was delicious! There are food trucks/tents throughout the week, and on this day there was a pizza place. I didn't order one but they did smell and look delicious. There was even a small brick oven! Goldwater also puts on Bend and Brew events with Hot Yoga University when the weather is nice. It is a lot of fun! I can't wait to check this place out again.

Goldwater Brewing is a great find!…read more We had family in town who love visiting local breweries so we found Goldwater on Yelp and decided to give it a try! Goldwater has indoor and outdoor seating options. It was a warm day so we sat inside at the hi-top. I didn't see food options available but it is located next to a few restaurants. My husband and friend enjoyed their beer flights and since I don't drink beer, I was happy to see a cooler with wine and other options such as white claw, etc. the beer was poured directly from the fermenter tank. The staff were very friendly and explained they had to open the wine bottle and make the first pour which was fine with me. We look forward to coming back in the near future.

Jessica, my waitress was really awesome and very friendly and helped me pick out some really great things on the menu. I had the Reuben sandwich with sweet potato fries. The German pretzel bites with beer, cheese and the churros with ice cream and a few beers and I have to say the prices are excellent and the food is incredibly good and I don't say that lightning most dive bars are just good for the ambience and a few cheap drinks. This place is great all around. Also, their patio area is dog friendly, so I was able to bring my little furry friend with me and he hung out and laid down near the table. Another bonus.

You can tell right away this is the kind of place regulars come back to often. Food I didn't try much food, but I did have the cheese crisp and it was solid. Light, flaky, and more like an open-faced tostada than a quesadilla. It came topped with green chili and chicken, and everything worked well together. Based on that, I'd expect the rest of the menu to be consistent, even if it's not trying to reinvent the wheel. Service Service was efficient, especially considering how busy it was. No complaints here... you can tell the staff knows how to handle a full house and keep things moving. Ambience This is where the place stands out. The vibe feels like a food network designed a biker bar, but in a fun, not over-the-top way. It's also apparently a Kansas City Chiefs bar, which adds to the identity. There was a live band playing early 2000s rock hits, which kept the energy up. Crowd was friendly overall, very much a neighborhood crowd. Overall This isn't a destination bar, but it's a really solid go-to if you live nearby. Think of it as an elevated dive/sports bar with a strong local following. Good drinks, good energy, and a place that does what it's supposed to do well.

We were lucky enough that it happened to be restaurant week (1 appetizer, 1 entree, & 1 dessert for the price of $55!)

My partner opted for the burrata paired with their noble bread, crispy salmon, & midnight brownie. Our favorites were their burrata & crispy salmon, with our not so favorites being the rest. The chopped salad was mediocre at best, nothing worth coming back for. The short ribs were overcooked, making it extremely dry. The blueberry pudding cake was incredibly dense and dry. The brownie was as hard as a rock, making it difficult to pick up a piece without breaking the plate while at it. Overall, my partner and I were quite disappointed with our meals. The only silver lining was that our server, Nicholas, was phenomenal!
