The shishito peppers were unusual, slightly sweet and had other vegetables. The salmon tacos were a generous portion, the beef and garlic contained large pieces of garlic amongst the sauce for the chunked beef. The Parmesan mussels are quite rich and delicious. We will definitely be back.

The food was actually quite good. That is why I gave 2 stars. The rest of the experience was less than ideal. I arrived on time to pick up my order. The lot was full, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but not convenient. The store had both a front entrance and a take out entrance. Both doors were packed with people. I squeezed into the take out area and witnessed a staff member give a customer his 2 pizzas and 3 salads, saying "you're all set!" Only to have the customer say they were missing 2 items. Then ensues the next 10 min of the staff looking high and low for those 2 items and finally determining that the kitchen did not cook them. All the while knocking other takeout boxes of food onto the ground (at least in boxes) and picking them back up again. Also muttering under his breath "I'm busy and no one is helping me!" When it was finally my turn, he was disorganized and asked me several times my name and when I had placed the order. He eventually found the my order, and in typical Murphy's law fashion, mine was a box that had fallen onto the floor. The burrata caprese was in a clear plastic container and it looked like the dog's breakfast. But by this time, I just wanted to get outta there.

And that I was able to be seated and served immediately. The food 5/5 stars no doubt. Plating presentation was just beautiful. The steak was cooked to my request, very tender & flavorful. The potatoes were a nice mixture of crisp and soft. The scrambled eggs and the mimosa were as expected-no complaints there! As you can see the views from the dining patio are gorgeous and on one hand, I am grateful that the room service let me down so that I could truly appreciate such beautiful views while eating a delicious, hot breakfast. On the other hand, it was disappointing that I could not enjoy my breakfast from the room because no one answered the phone for at least the first hour and a half of my morning until I decided to go check out the restaurant in person. 4 stars. 2 for the great food (and views), 2 for the kind waiter and his excellent service. I wish I could give 5 stars but some serious improvement needs to be made on the customer service side in terms of room service.

This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.

I was inclined to eat at a very popular diner in the Main Street, but chose CCB&G instead. It was up the road a little more than a mile but we'll worth avoiding the overcrowded diner At CCB&G, the dining room was closed but they were serving in the bar area. The bar was relatively quiet, despite having 2 tv's with sports channels on. A bartender and one server were in duty. (Both very pretty women BTW) The bartender was quick to take my order (only a root beer) & called over the waitress. The menu had a nice selection of typical sandwiches and burgers so I asked which sandwich was popular. She recommended the turkey melt, so I rolled the dice, taking her suggestion. Wow! What a great sandwich. Served on large, grilled Texas toast, it oozed with hot cheese and turkey. Yum. It also came with a choice of shoestring or seasoned fries. I chose the seasoned which were definitively right out of the fryer, piping hot and crispy, just how I like them. The waitress was highly attentive, checking back with me several times to see if I needed anything else or wanted a dessert. Being the aged chauvinist I am, I replied; "Dessert (?) heavens no. Just seeing you 2 pretty girls is plenty dessert for me." She chuckled and talked about my road trip and her background as a local Bagdagian. In all, my experience was great and will definitely be back on a future road trip. I don't know what the local diner is like, but they were now closed when I drove out of town, shortly after 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. So, IMO, that's another reason to to to Copper Country Bar & Grill.
