Beginner's Luck

This place was a great hidden gem. I have been to their sister location the Gladly more times than I can count and did not know they had this location. I used to go the Gladly specifically to get the barrel aged cocktail The Beginners Luck” so I was excited when I realized they opened a restaurant based off the drink. They have the iconic chop salad that is well known and a condensed menu that has a good variety of options. We got the burrata which was excellent, the chop salad and the burger. The burger was good but not a 10/10 like the other items. Service and atmosphere were great and I would recommend stopping in for a drink at the least if not dinner.

This hidden gem was great! My friend and I came here on a recommendation for Restaurant week. I had made reservations for 2, dinner at 6:30 inside. When we arrived, we were greeted and seated. The indoor seating was very small, but it does have some bar seating along with a nice patio. The atmosphere was very sleek simple modern with a lot of local artwork. Maddie, our server came over, introduced herself, very nice, friendly and attentive. We ordered the Chile Margaritas, which were fantastic. I chose to order from the restaurant week menu: The Original Chopped Salad, Crab and Shrimp Roll and the Good Fortune Cake, while my friend ordered the Lucky Burger. All the dishes were excellent! I would definitely come here again along with trying the brunch menu. Atmosphere: sleek simple modern. Service: excellent. Food: excellent.

After finishing our weekend trip we searched for breakfast/brunch options in the area. Beginners Luck was our second choice after seeing the line out the door at our first. Indoor dining was at occupancy (Saturday @10-11am) so we sat outside on the patio and they have mist, shade and fans to keep you cool. Our server, Hannah was professional, kind, clean, and knowledgeable. We ordered Ice Tea, Mimosa, Orange Juice, Chilaquiles, Eggs (Sunny Side & Over Easy), Bacon, and French Toast. The cook perfected each plate and it tasted original and fresh. The whole experience was refreshing and amazing. It was truly the ‘cherry on the cake’ and an amazing end to our trip.

We came here for brunch and had a wonderful experience! The patio was beautiful, the service was excellent, and the food and drink were superb. I ordered the eggplant shakshouka and the cinnamon mocha and was so impressed with both, while my partner loved his French toast. This will definitely be a go-to spot for us from now on!

We walked in on a Sunday around noon and we were seated immediately. We were a group of 6. Our server was so friendly and engaging. Everyone working there was kind and attentive. Couple of my friends got the espresso martini and said it was the best one they had. All the food was so good. Prices are reasonable. The place is very cute and designed very well. Love the outside patio.

We “lucked out!” What a great spot. Had the Cereal Bowl and I’m not a cereal girl. SO GOOD! Not too sweet at all but the fruit and granola added a touch of sweet and crunch. Service was superb. Really darling atmosphere on the patio.

The service was really good, lovely staff. The food was interesting, not your usual American breakfast. I enjoyed what I ordered but it wasn’t something I would order normally. It was a very small and crowded place. Although there was outside seating, it was just too hot to sit outdoors.

Phenomenal food and service. I don't think there's a bad thing on the menu. The Eggplant Shakshouka was complex and the chermoula sauce addicting, I hope people aren't afraid to order it because they'll be missing out if they don't. Move over chopped salads, the Lucky 7 cereal bowl is a new contender. The Gypsy Toast was massive with amazing flavors, the chinese 5 spice and salted butterscotch syrup worked together beautifully. They made a special slow roasted pork breakfast burrito that was the best breakfast burrito I've ever tasted in my life, I hope to eventually see it make the menu. The Linguisa Kolache has an amazing fresh pastry. Great cocktails too - the chai-rish iced coffee was my favorite! The restaurant has a large outdoor patio seating area and beautifully decorated throughout, with immaculate attention to detail. Love the open kitchen concept. The owners are super friendly and have put together an amazing staff, it's like they are one big family. It was fun talking with Chef Ben and sous-chef James - they are very passionate and proud of their food. Shout out to Matt Miller, he was very professional and personable. Shout out to our amazing server Kaia, she loves talking about the menu and was super cool and knowledgeable! She even studied abroad in Rome, awesome! Will definitely return and tell everyone about this place!!

The cereal bowl might be the best breakfast dish in the entire valley. Texturally interesting, both warm and cold - I think it's been two months since I've been in last and I'm still thinking about it. There are so many good dishes here but this easily topped the list. Service is friendly and attentive. It's a great spot!!

We originally found this gem as we were walking around old town scottsdale before the farmers market. Amazing location and beautiful restaurant. We tried the dinner last night. First, we ordered drinks. My boyfriend got the jalapeño infused margarita and I got a regular margarita with salt on the rim. Drinks were delicious! For dinner, I ordered the Norwegian salmon and he got the lucky burger. And for an appetizer, we ordered the savory focaccia. The focaccia was delicious and reminded me of an everything bagel. It was tasty and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The dinner came out and the salmon was so good but the cauliflower purée was the star for sure! The burger was yummy too just slightly undercooked for my boyfriends liking. The service was incredible! The server was knowledgeable about the menu and our questions. The only complaint I have. I think that the menu prices are steep. It was beautiful and good BUT in all honesty for the price, I probably would rather go to a fancier restaurant. The vibe of this restaurant is more drop in, more relaxing and casual. You wouldn't expect the bill to be $200! And there is only one bathroom for this restaurant.

Very cute / intimate spot in Old Town Scottsdale. We were hungry / in the area so decided to check it out. Their salad was amazing! We had two younger kids (4 and 6) that really enjoyed the Mac and Cheese (ordered from the appetizer menu). I wish they had a kids menu or could make an entree size portion for the kids (pasta and cheese sauce). We ended up spending quite a bit on Mac and Cheese but the kids enjoyed it and told the chef it was yummy :) For our entree I had a pork dish and wifey had the streak (will leave some photos). The pork dish was great - came with some pickled veggies which added a different taste / texture. I will say again - the salad was the best though. Staff was super friendly and atmosphere / vibe in the restaurant was perfect. Cool spot in Old Town.

On late Friday morning, we popped in this restaurant for an early lunch! This restaurant is located in an interesting place: it's within the heart of old town Scottsdale down a pseudo alley way next to a coffee shop. A little challenging to find at first, but you'll be rewarded with a non touristy restaurant to relax at! The restaurant offers all day affair, including brunch! We had their famous Cobb salad and a hamburger! The Cobb salad was different! It comes to the table displayed nice and your waiter will add dressing and toss it for you! The salad features lox, corn that tastes like popcorn, currants, greens and more with buttermilk dressing. It's not a huge salad but filling. I would prefer the salad had salmon filet rather than lox: it's a taste and appearance thing. As for hamburger, it was also perfectly presented! The flavors were spot on! My only compliant is that for approximately 20 dollars the burger should come with something like fries or a side salad! Also, I had a seasonal latte: pumpkin! The latte was amazing! The balance of flavors was excellent: I wanted more! As for seating: there is a small indoor space that offers sit down tables and bar seating. Also there is outdoor seating on the patio in front of restaurant with the old town atmosphere surrounding you! Lastly this restaurant offers happy hour! Check out their website for more!

Came for my Husband's Birthday- because we always enjoy our meals here!! He had a burger that was wonderful. I had the Chop Salad- It's so Amazing I can't seem to order anything else!! Staff is always friendly and attentive! We were stuffed from our meals but they insisted we take a dessert home on them for his Gift!! So sweet!!

Such a cute spot-- tucked away it is the perfect hidden gem. My husband and I stopped in for lunch and were seated promptly. Small interior but a decent amount of seating outdoors. There were a few small dogs there so it seems to be dog friendly, but may not be an ideal space for larger dogs. I started off with the orange blossom latte, which had the perfect hint of orange. Food was great, and many other menu options were enticing to me so i can't wait to be back to try others.

Right in the middle of Scottsdale's Old Town is a chic breakfast-brunch place. Welcomed warmly by the staff. A big shout out to our waitress Marissa! Very attentive. Start with the hot triple espresso mocha with oat milk. When i say hot, it's really hot.. which i like. Their iced tea has a kick. The waitress said it's their new thing, it's the peach black iced tea... i tasted it, it's really good. My husband had the steak and egg. I observed that every table orders steak and egg, per my husband, it was really good. Steak was tender. I ordered French toast, kinda sweet for me cuz of the syrup. Everyone here is so nice. I observed that a couple delivered boxes of soda, i don't if they are related at all to the manager, but the manager offered them coffee. This place deserves a 5-star across the board.

This new hidden brunch treasure in Old Town Scottsdale has captured my heart, and I'm quickly becoming a fan. After my third visit, I am still enamored with their breakfast offerings, and the Pimento Cheese & Doke Whip Wings were a treat. I'll definitely be returning and can't wait to explore more of their menu!

Food: I ordered the chopped salad and it was delicious! We also ordered the blue corn grits and they were tasty Drink: I got the seasonal latte that had orange blossom in it and it was delicious!! Service: Hannah was awesome and attentive. Great service by everyone that we encountered Ambiance: I liked that it was a more casual lowkey version of their sister restaurants Parking: no private parking, parking along the shops of old town

Cute spot in the touristy party of oldtown Scottdale. Friendly staff, nice patio seating, tasty menu options. The Lucky 7 Cereal Bowl was fantastic! Pretty combination of sweet chia pudding and savory blue corn grits. Would order this again, yum! Recommend and would return to try other things on the menu, too.

Came here for brunch with a friend after a grueling workout class so we were hungry and ready to eat! We started off with the hummus plate which had a yummy array of veggies and a great tzatziki sauce. The seasonal latte right now is delicious I definitely recommend that over the mesquite. Their special was chilaquiles so I had to get it. The flavor was amazing and the chips had a nice crisp to them. My friend chose the breakfast sandwich and we were big fans of that too but would probably opt to try something new next time in its place. The service was impeccable we sat at the bar and the bartender was super attentive and friendly. The food did take a awhile but I don't mind waiting for the quality and it was also a Saturday so that can be expected anyway I will definitely be returning and highly recommend this place!

Brunching like a PRO at Beginner's Luck. We were looking for a place to eat breakfast in Old Town Scottsdale and found Beginner's Luck (how cool of a name is that). We had a great time. We ordered Lucky's Burger with home fries and the 12 Hour Niman Pork Ranch Bowl. I don't know what the term Niman means that I have to google it (enriching my vocabulary!). The Lucky's Burger, with angus beef sandwiched in a brioche bun, was just the right amount of juicy and cooked to order and was perfectly complemented by the home fries. For the 12 Hour Niman Pork Ranch Bowl, I can say it was a standout, with tender pork, loaded with pork crackling/chicharron, queso fresco, jalapeno, lime, pickled onion and garnished with cilantro--that made it rich and satisfying. Beginner's Luck has an open-concept kitchen. Service was good. They have an outdoor seating that allows you to enjoy the weather while savoring your meal. This place is definitely a perfect spot for a brunch!

Really adored Beginner's Luck and I want to go back and try all the things! I loved that the French Toast wasn't too sweet and was a perfect size to share. The burger was really tasty - particularly the chili sauce. My personal favorites of what we tried were the burrata and the shakshouka. The burrata dish was sooo light, refreshing, and unique. I LOVED it sm! The shakshouka had really great flavor, although I wish the eggs were runny. That said, this place is super cute. I'd go back for the location alone. The patio outside was really nice, and when the weather cools down you can definitely catch me there . Service was good! I liked that they let us take our time and catch up. We had two servers and both were helpful in deciding what we should order from the menu. Speaking of the menu - they have a lot of different options compared to your average brunch spot. I think they have something for everyone, from your more adventurous eaters to your standard breakfast fare. We checked out the dinner menu as well and it looked great!

We had reservations at 6:30 and arrived slightly before. We were seated in an area where every time the waitstaff walked by on the boardwalk, we got bounced in our chairs. Speaking of chairs, they have the most uncomfortable chairs! If you are thin like me, bring a stadium pillow to sit on! My hubby was also squeezed up against a plant at the entrance. There were four of us plus a baby in a stroller, which we had to wedge in between our table and the one next to us. The baby had the best experience as she slept through the meal! We came for the restaurant week menu, which resulted in a lot of food. The chopped salad was very good, and I can highly recommend it. Next, came the crab and shrimp roll, but it was seriously too dry and not as tasty as it should have been. In fact, there really was a lack of taste. Lastly, I had high expectations regarding the raspberry cake from other reviewers, but it also was very dry. Taste was ok but the cake was way too dry, not moist at all. It wasn't even in that cute little mug! I did have a taste of the chia pudding cereal (not sure of the proper name), and that had great flavor. I would definitely opt for that over the raspberry cake unless the chef just had an off night and overcooked the cake. I did think the zero proof drink, All the Good Thangs was excellent. The waiter did ask if I wanted to add alcohol to the drink, but it was perfect the way it was and quite refreshing. So, rather hit and miss on what I ordered.

We came during Restaurant Week and had a great time at Beginner's Luck! Service was a little slow, but that's to be expected during Restaurant Week; these places get slammed! The restaurant has a gorgeous outdoor patio where you can relax and have a drink, so the slow service wasn't much of a problem for our group for the night. Highlights of the Menu: The OG Chopped Salad - we love The Gladly and it's the same parent company! This is a can't-miss dish and likely why they carried it over to their new restaurant Sausage & Aligot - elevated bangers+mash. This could likely be an entree for some people Lucky Burger - perfectly cooked. Cucumbers in yogurt on the side was unique but refreshing for a hot day Midnight Cereal - breakfast as dessert. I would eat this any day at any time Raspberry Cake - I thought this was delicious, but others in our group thought it was dry. I ate their leftovers. 12 hour super slow roasted pork bowl was skippable in my opinion; the pork didn't have much flavor. Favorite drinks were the strawberry negroni and the carajillo. Great place for a fun dinner with friends!

I'm SOLD!!! Service, food, and location were all on point as I had a business meeting. I recently read that the chef/owners of the Gladly & Citizen Public House were responsible and those 2 hit well for me. Located off Main Street, the spot is "nestled" in the strip like a T with indoor and outdoor seating. I'm not gonna lie, sitting outside after noon as we go into the summer is not my ideal comfort but plenty of people were sitting outside today under the many umbrellas. I made a reservation online to make sure we were seated inside and it worked out great. Inside has a few tables to accommodate parties of 2 & 4 along with bar seating. We had 12 hour Pork Bowl, Lucky Burger with fries, Topo Chico & Chile Margarita. Food was spot on and our server Kaia was tended to us while we chatted about life & business. Parking can be a challenge so don't try for Main Street parking, park & walk around the corner. Planning to return for sure as the vibe here suited us today.

This place accepts reservations which is a game changer. The outside patio is nicely shaded and has misters creating a cooler temperature even in the heat of the summer. I ordered the traditional breakfast with two eggs and two bacon strips. There was plenty of food and everything was cooked perfectly. My friends got the steak and eggs special which was also cooked perfectly and very filling. We got to try the French toast and all loved the taste and texture. All of the food was presented appealing and the service was good. The interior of the restaurant was quaint but very clean.

What a hidden gem! The food is extremely high quality ingredients and we sat outside which was beautiful.

Five Stars for this cozy, comfortable oasis in Old Town Scottsdale. We had an early lunch/ brunch and loved the food and service. Ok, the drinks, too (it was almost noon). It's no surprise Messrs. Fritz and Kantak strike the perfect note ( once again) in this casual spot emphasizing food, drinks and service without unneccessary fanfare. As always, you get quality cuisine, bar fare and service, but in a very relaxed and intimate setting.

The food, service, and overall vibe is tops. Gonna be dreaming about the dole whip chicken wings and chopped salad

The Burrada we had was fantastic. Our server Hannah is beautiful and extremely competent. We shared it and it was plenty.

Pretty good! This is a new restaurant in old town, pretty hidden but in a space previously occupied by a former restaurant. It's a small space due to the temperatures outside. Everyone wanting to sit inside versus the 110° outside. There are mists however, and the restaurant was already packed at 12:30 PM on a Thursday The general manager greeted us warmly. And after mentioning that we were party of two he sat at a table that had been reserved. It was very smart of him because the reservation never did show up. And we would've left and gone somewhere else. Lucky for us we stayed and enjoyed a great salad and hamburger, and two complementary glasses of champagne! I recommend the wedge salad with smashed cucumbers, pickles, and blue cheese. Just another great place to hang in old town

We tried a new spot and it was exceptional! The food was top notch, service and hospitality was top 5% in the industry. Matt, GM, and his entire staff were on point. Friendly, knowledgeable, spirited, kind all describe the staff on a busy Sunday brunch crowd. We tried 4 dishes, everyone was perfecto', #delish. Chopped salad here is legendary, along with the poke bowl and burger. If you're serious about brunch and dining well this is your spot ! This establishment will be apart of our dining rotation.

Three of us dined at Beginners Luck tonight (July 19). I want to talk about the service first. It's INCREDIBLE. Such nice, caring and perfectly attentive people. Wonderful people. The food and drinks are top notch. We had the Burrata. Dill pickle wedge, poke bowl, roasted pork bowl and the shrimp and crab roll. Everything was fantastic. We had a few cocktails as well. The Beginners Luck is very tasty but should honestly be served over a big cube. Painkiller was delicious. Overall Beginners luck was perfect from Beginning to end. Bravo.

Not really breakfast..... We looked at the menu before making reservations and thought this was a breakfast place, but it's really more brunch / lunch. They Had a couple items that were sort of breakfast but we ended up getting lunch stuff. That said, it's a really cute place and I would go back, but I wouldn't really recommend it for breakfast. We got the Lucky's burger and home fries as well as the 12 hour niman pork ranch bowl. I highly recommend the pork bowl if you can eat pork. They have indoor seating, but we sat outside in this cute courtyard area.

We decided to try this place for Arizona Restaurant Week on a Thursday evening at 6:30 pm. We were seated quickly and our drinks were ordered and then we waited for a short while for the drinks to be delivered. I was surprised at the amount of time it took for the first beer to arrive. The mixed drinks came a little later. We then ordered our three courses from the menu. I ordered the sausage and aligot for the first course, the 12 hour niman ranch pork sandwich for the main course and the raspberry cake for dessert. Firstly, you'd better be hungry as both the starter and main were good sized. Secondly, don't be in a hurry. Thirdly, don't expect gourmet food. My sausage was very tasty and the potato and eggplant with it had a nicely balanced set of flavors. It was a meal in itself. My pork sandwich was fair. It didn't have much flavor and it was overpowered with a greasy taste. The French fries with it were very good. My raspberry cake was disappointing. It was served on a plate, not in a cup like I've seen in most pictures. We ate outside and that was quite pleasant although the wind was a factor a couple of times. The waitstaff seemed extremely busy and not very attentive. Maybe this is more of a breakfast establishment and I should try it in the morning. Parking is available. Sometimes you get lucky on the street, sometimes you don't. It's Scottsdale! The outside courtyard seating area is fairly small and cosy.

I am a huge fan of The Gladly so I had to stop into their sister restaurant for brunch when I was in the area. It did not disappoint. We were lucky to get a table without a reservation and got seated in a cute little patio area out front. Service was great and our server was very attentive. My sausage, egg and cheese sandwich was delightful and I loved the home fries. Great new spot in the Old Town Scottsdale area.

Food and service were excellent! Very attentive staff! Celebrated a birthday with a large group and they were very accommodating. Looking forward to coming back!

It's all about the chopped salad! The salmon tasted fresh and the dressing was delicious. However, I think the salad can do away with the corn. Quiet atmosphere, making it perfect for a date spot. Be sure to order before 5 PM for the 'small menu' prices. Nathan was a delightful waiter!

I came here for a light breakfast and it was very yummy! The reviews didn't lie regarding the Lucky 7 cereal bowl. It is an interesting combination of temperatures (hot for the grits and cold for the chia pudding), flavors (sweet and savory) and even textures (smooth for the grits and chia pudding but crunchy for the granola on top). I had a cappuccino too, which was pretty good. The restaurant is located in a touristy part of old town and parking can be challenging in the area. The service was friendly and quick!

VIBES: 5/5 FOOD: 4/5 SERVICE: 5/5 VALUE: 4/5 We had such a great time! We were able to sit outside, which was super cute and bistro-y (I'll have to report on the vibes of the inside next time). The service was excellent. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, and our waitress, Madelyn, gave us great recommendations and really took care of us--we loved her! I got the cold brew/orange/tequila cocktail and loved it. It was well-balanced and refreshing. The sausage/potato appetizer was very tasty. It was pretty rich, but we enjoyed it. The pork bowl was delicious. I don't normally eat pork, but it was really unique and interesting and paired well with the other ingredients. The chopped salad was perfect. I loved the couscous in it. Finally, for dessert we had the raspberry cake which was great! I wished there was a bit more meringue or ice cream (I always wish there was ice cream) -- the key lime meringue that was on there was delicious, I just wanted more, ya know. All in all we had a wonderful experience and I definitely plan on returning, particularly to try their French toast and chai iced Irish latte!

I really like this place!! The service is always fantastic and I'm completely addicted to The Original Chop Salad! Today I tried it with the chicken/avocado option. I must say I prefer the original smoked salmon version. The atmosphere reminds me more of Europe than AZ. It's a little hidden but trust me totally worth finding! Cute patio once the weather starts cooperating. Looking forward to trying the new happy hour menu!

Wow wow wow! I'm blown away. I didn't realize they had only been open 5 weeks. Being out of towners from Minnesota we wanted to find a hip joint with no door and a lovely patio. We sat at the bar and our bartender was amazing (I honestly need to remember her name, I'll edit this later). For food we ended up getting the "infamous" chopped salad--mixed right before our eyes! And the pork bowl with blue corn grits. The pork bowl presentation was really just...beautiful. I'm not a grits person but these grits with a squeeze of lime were delicious. If our food wasn't good enough as is, I also got a chocolate cake courtesy of the head chef for my birthday, presented by the chef himself. That's never happened to me before and I was flattered. I can't emphasize this enough, go check them out when you're exploring Old Town!

Beginners luck is a little cafe nestled in old town. Its kind of in a hidden alley so definitely recommend using google maps to help find it. The patio is quaint and nice if you want to enjoy the weather as there's a lot of shade. We tried to gypsy toast and the shakshouka. The gypsy toast was great if you want a decadent sweet breakfast. Must try! The shakshouka was good was well but a little watery. Probably would try something different next time. Overall cute little place if you're looking for something different for breakfast in OT

Service was great, Hannah saved the day. Food was high quality and delicious; the water glasses smelled like fish and we didn't drink them. Hostesses were okay, they seated a couple parties before us and I didn't hear that they had reservations was kinda odd. I'd return but would recommend make a reservation with your preference of seating.

Great service, tasty food, and super cute vibe. Staff was very friendly! Can't wait to come back!

Cute little place. Makes me think I'm on a boardwalk in the middle of old town. The food is great especially for brunch. They have this pastry I can't remember the name of but the girl recommended it and i was very pleased not overly sweet.

We came for dinner and everything was delicious! This place is a gem and will definitely be in my rotation of regular spots. For those that know the famous chopped salad- it's here and amazing as always! For our side of fries our server Madeline brought out their buttermilk pesto dipping sauce- and we were so glad because it was incredible. So good next time I'm going to ask for some to go to take home. It's a fun casual vibe in there. They have mood lighting, but not too dark. Great music too. Great neighborhood feel! Madeline and the GM Matthew were above and beyond friendly. Really good service from all the staff! They gave us the Raspberry Mug cake that had key lime whipped cream on top- so unique and fresh. Not too sweet either.

The staff was enthusiastic, courteous and helpful. Had a martini and the seared halibut. Both, were delicious. I went on a Friday...thought it'd be more packed...but, it's new. Small space...quite intimate... I've been to Gladly and Citizen...and the food was on par.

So glad we were walking by and found this place! Tucked away and quiet from the street. Beautiful outdoor seating. Can't go wrong with anything you get here. The salmon was seasoned well with crispy skin, beurre blanc, and delicious mashed potatoes. Great martinis and great service.

This is one of my top favorite new brunch spots in Scottsdale. I've actually been here twice since they have opened I've sat both inside and outside loved both. My first time here I ordered the amazing French toast it was deductible I ate it all. The next time I was here I ordered the steak and eggs off the special literally mouthwatering talking about it. The staff has always been super friendly and helpful. And the ambience and set up here is very open and inviting, it's very comfortable place to hang out.

Absolutely incredible from beginning to end! Ambiance was chill and the service was top notch. Nestled in the heart of Old Town, this gem is worth a try! Food was charming like the location- comforting with an upscale modern refreshing twist.

Waited a while to make this review. I got a Butt of a cucumber in my poke bowl. It was terrible. My gf got the chilequiles and it tasted terrible as well. She had to drown it in hot sauce in order to get it down. The service was not very good and we were the only ones in there. We were being stared at by staff the whole time we were eating, it created an unsettling atmosphere.

Our server was really friendly and so helpful. Nathan was also very helpful! I loved the pickle wedge salad it was super good and so was the salmon. Overall a really good place!

This place was adorable! It was a little hard to find and I don't know why my Apple Maps took me such a weird direction. But regardless I enjoyed my experience. Our waitress Kaia (not sure how to spell her name) was very kind!! We appreciated that she allowed us to stay as long as we did! I had the egg sandwhich which was good and I really enjoyed the cinnamon mocha. I forgot to take pictures but the ambiance was nice. I'm glad we made a reservation to sit inside since it's so hot. A nice spot to check out- very cozy and small inside.

Small venue with a limited menu. Service was impeccable and extremely friendly. I highly recommend the chilaquiles. The red sauce and pulled pork were incredible!!!

I stopped in on a solo evening and had a lovely time chatting with Ashton at the bar. I was glad to learn this new place is owned by the former owner of beloved departed Scottsdale restaurant Cowboy Ciao. I had a chile margarita, a lovely version of the famous salmon couscous salad, and fries. A cute, tucked away spot I highly recommend.

Another fabulous meal at Beginner's Luck. This is the 1st time I've ordered the smoked salmon chopped salad. The flavors worked well together. I don't eat a lot of salmon but was in the mood to try something different. I enjoyed it! My server recommended the next time substituting the salmon for chicken and avocado. I'm looking forward to trying it. The server also recommended a strawberry dessert. I'm not sure the name of it, but it was delicious!
