My boyfriend and I ride our bikes by almost every day and never realized this was here! Went on a Friday night around 530- cool vibe great tunes. Had the dates and beet salad to start - both yummy! I ordered their version of eggplant parm -Beau had the pork and both were mouthwatering! Pork was so tender and had... More

Maybe because it WAS a former house. Low key and relaxed. You even wait for your table in the "living room" with sofas and chairs. Very small, intimate space with an attentive staff. Good mixologist at the bar. They also make their own tonic and ginger ale (try the Dark & Stormy). Really interesting choices on the menu. Can't really... More

I was in Scottsdale for a long week end and decided on this spot because it was in the general vicinity of the Phoenix Art Museum. We only had to wait a few minutes and had a really nice experience. Great food, attentive staff and a nice vibe. It was filled with mostly locals, which is just the kind of... More

Small, quaint, warm and wonderful. This is great little restaurant. A good wine selection and a menu that is perfect for noshing. The stuffed figs, and the other small plates are fabulous and filling. Save room for dessert though - both times I have eaten at Tuck Shop the desserts were to die for. Go - the service is always...

Food here is always wonderful and so is the service. Only negative is the potential wait times and the crowded atmosphere that can sometimes steer me from going on date nights.

Had dinner here last night. Really enjoyed the food, drinks and ambience. IPA with ginger was great. Tasted 4 different dishes, enjoyed the salmon and eggplant the most. Will definitely go again!

First time here and will go again soon. Cozy/upscale remodeled house. We had appetizers of cheese curds, grilled garlic baguette and Savory Simon hand pies (maybe too much for 4 people). I did not try the baguette but the cheese curds and the hand pies were delicious. They are small plates so you can order several but absolutely order the... More

The title is a question because this is always so subjective. I will also preface this review with the disclaimer that I am breaking a personal taboo here by reviewing a local restaurant on Tripadvisor. However, I think it is important that when you have decided what you feel is the best restaurant in town that at least share that... More

Our friends had been here several times and really hyped it up. So, our expectations were mixed - alot of hype and friends that don't have a great track record. The space is cool. An old converted ranch style home. The space has a modern hip vibe and it very well done. The menu is very broad with good choices... More
