Humble Bistro is our go-to spot for happy hour, lunch, or dinner. Recently I came for lunch and…read moredecided to try something new. I ordered The Kosher, one of their "Humble Etta's" options. It's their take on bruschetta, although I'd describe it more as a flatbread. It comes topped with honey smoked salmon, jalapeño cream cheese, red onion, crispy fried capote capers, chili oil, lemon, and parsley. The flavors were good, especially the honey smoked salmon, but unfortunately it had very little jalapeño cream cheese. Without it, the flatbread was a little dry. I also would have loved a little more chili oil and lemon. The cream cheese would have added the richness it needed. Thankfully, our other dishes were great. We ordered the Smorgasbord, which is consistently fabulous, and split the Humble Caesar, one of our all-time favorites. Those two dishes never disappoint. Humble Bistro continues to be one of favorites. If I order The Kosher again I would ask they make sure and add cream cheese.

I started with a blueberry mule mocktail and it was perfection and then I had the small side salad made with carrots, cucumbers, and spring mix and lemon vinaigrette, and it was my favorite I've ever had and then I finished with the Bolognese that has a cream sauce that is to die for. Best Bolognese in town in my opinion. The staff was more than accommodating. I showed up in my work attire, definitely not dressed for this restaurant and from the hostess all the way to my server and bartender and everyone treated me with the upmost respect. They moved me to a better table, and for the inconvenience gave me another mocktail. This is absolutely my favorite absolutely 100% amazing. How anybody wouldn't like it with baffle me you have to go.

We've given this spot a few tries now and it just has not hit for us. The first time we went was…read moreactually great. We loved Mora so we decided to try its sister restaurant, the Americano. This was years ago, before the speakeasy existed. I remember we were greeted at the table with glasses of champagne. Service was impeccable, food was delicious. We had one of the best desserts of our lives. 10/10 first impression. We went back maybe a year later after the speakeasy was built in, and it seemed like all their attention went to that instead. They were out of a bunch of dishes on the menu. I remember we all got our food except for my husband and we finally had to ask the server what was going on with his dish and that's when they told us they were out of that dish he had ordered too. They offered to make something else on the house, but at this point we were all almost done with our food so he ended up with nothing. They did try to make it right, I'll give them that, but it was a weird experience. We decided to give the restaurant one last try for my mom's birthday over the weekend and it solidified our opinions on this place. First of all, it's EXPENSIVE. I get it's Scottsdale but they are trying way too hard with $80 ribeyes and $1500 bottles of wine, but not giving you anything for it. Don't get me wrong, I'll enjoy an expensive meal when I feel it's warranted. The food, service, details need to go above and beyond to justify my $500+ tab. That's just not the case here. The server didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Didn't even offer a birthday dessert? We ordered salads before our meals and our entrees showed up two minutes later. My sister had her leftover pasta boxed up and they never brought it back. She asked about it and they said they could fire her a new one, but we were ready to go at this point. These are not issues you should be having at an upscale restaurant at this price point. After all this, we won't be returning. There are much better restaurants at lesser price points that offer amazing food with above and beyond experience. Everyone try Restaurant Progress instead!

They've added more drink options and new food items, which made it feel fresh and fun again. We grabbed seats at the bar and shared the Brussels sprouts and the Burata Caprese, both were great and perfect for splitting. We asked for the bacon on the side of the Brussels, which they accommodated no problem. I loved seeing new items like fish tacos, the tuna tostada, and a charcuterie board now offered on the happy hour menu. They also kept favorites like the cauliflower wings and deviled eggs, which have always been solid. Drink-wise, my friend ordered an espresso martini. I started with the Paloma, but it tasted a little too sweet for me--the grapefruit juice seemed off. I switched to a glass of Pinot Noir and was happy. Cook & Craft is a cute spot with an outdoor patio area. I definitely want to go back again to try more of the new additions to their happy hour.

I wanted a steak :(…read more So first of all, the three-star review is because my entree. If my entree had been what I wanted it to be, this would be a five-star review. Saturday afternoon, not super busy. The restaurant itself is beautiful, to the point that I wondered if it was part of a big chain. There's obviously a lot of thought put into the building, the menu, and the service model. Great service by Ethan. Group ordered quite a few items, all of which were great. For appetizers, we had AZ egg rolls and grilled artichoke, all of which were enjoyed. I got a manhattan and another member of the group got the mai-tai. Both were very strong and excellent. Entrees were well-received - the french dip, salmon, jambalaya. Lots of compliments from everyone in the group, they all loved their meals and specifically said they were "the best" of any they've had. I ordered the balsamic ribeye. I wanted a steak. But it was sadly not to be. I ordered my ribeye medium rare. The first steak was cooked well done - I had a taste, and it was delicious, but man. I wanted a medium rare steak. So I sent it back. The second steak was practically BLUE. Raw on the inside, yet charred on the outside. Third time's a charm? Not so much. The third steak was also blue inside. I sent it back and had the french dip, which was indeed *excellent.* I had their chilled brussel sprouts & marcona almond salad with it and I loved it. But man, I wanted a steak. Managers presented me with my second and third steaks and were both apologetic for the cooking issues. Ethan was very apologetic, and I cannot say enough good things about him. I mean, my manhattan got a fresh chilled glass midway through the meal, a move I've only seen in truly high-end establishments. The service is there! And the recovery response was great - my meal was comped, as was two desserts ordered. Roughly a quarter of the bill wound up being comped. So the response was appropriate, and a huge part of why I won't write this restaurant off. But it gives me pause that the only item prepared and cooked to order was prepared unsuccessfully three times in a row. Perhaps it was an off day in the kitchen, but ultimately... I wanted a steak. Sadly, I didn't get one.

Located in Desert Ridge Marketplace, I checked out The Whining Pig on a Saturday night. Since I…read morelive in the area, I walked over. There is ample parking if you're driving. This beer-focused bar isn't the easiest to find because it's underground down a stairwell. Look for the signage close to the stairwell. Ambiance (3.5/5): We sat at a booth at the bar. It's one of the few seats that have back support (which is important to me due to my old man back). Outside of that, it's all barstool seating with no back support inside. Outside, they have a small patio with chairs. That would be another option for me when the weather cooperates. The decor inside is your typical beer bar decor. Laid back. Comfortable. There's a jukebox. A cool place to grab some brews. Service (3.5/5): Two bartenders were working that evening and they were pretty solid. I did have to grab their attention a few times but no biggie. The Whining Pig has daily specials including a beer and grilled cheese combo on Wednesdays. I was curious on the price. They didn't know nor did they find out. That was a miss. Food (N/A): No food for me on this visit as I had dinner prior. They have a small menu, mostly made up of various grilled cheese sandwiches. They have a classic one, a pizza one, and a few others. I'm a dan of grilled cheese so I'll definitely try one out at some point. They also have charcuterie boards. Drinks (4.5/5): Now for the good stuff! Unlike most beer spots, they also have wine and several cocktails. But when in Rome, so I went with a beer flight. You can choose five beers of your choosing from a list of 40 beers or so. While they don't brew their own beer, they have an interesting selection of local craft beers and European ones. The types of beers you're not going to find at your neighborhood bar, including saisons and sours. The flight is served in a pig shape holder which was pretty funny. Flights are always my go-to when they're offered as they allow you to try out a nice variety. Added bonus: Walk down the hallway past the bathrooms and you'll run into Pigtails---a speakeasy owned by the same folks. That way, you can get both your brews and elevated cocktails fix in the same night.

We stopped by Yard House for a quick dinner before a movie on a Wednesday evening. We arrived…read morearound 5:15 p.m. and the restaurant was very busy, with about a 20-minute wait. I'm guessing many people were there for Happy Hour or trying to get seated before it ended at 6 p.m. Our server was great and was training another server who was equally friendly and attentive. Both made us feel welcome and checked on us regularly. The kids both wanted the sliders from the kids menu, but we ended up ordering the Happy Hour sliders instead. The Happy Hour version comes with four sliders instead of three and was actually less expensive. The boys loved them, especially the Thousand Island sauce on the side, which they said tasted just like In-N-Out's sauce. My husband and I each enjoyed a glass of wine from the Happy Hour menu along with the Poke Nachos and Truffled Mushroom Pizza. The Poke Nachos are one of our favorites and did not disappoint. The serranos and sriracha aioli give them a nice kick without being overpowering. The Truffled Mushroom Pizza had great flavor, although this time it could have used a little more mushrooms and cheese. The boys enjoyed their chocolate milk and stayed entertained with the tabletop device while we waited for our food. Service was quick, the food came out fast, and we made it to our movie with plenty of time to spare.

We ordered cheese curds & their half baked cookie Sunday with an extra scoop of ice cream. The cheese curds were not over exaggerated by my husband. They were amazing!!! Cooked to perfection. Words cannot even describe them. My best advice, if you like cheese curds, get over to The Spot and try these suckers out! The cookie sundae was alright. I've had much better ones in my life, but it was by no means bad either... it was good for the price. $9. Completely fair! I would not order that again. Our server was excellent, the food came out so quickly & everything was fresh & delicious!
