Pro's and Cons... Would I go back and could I recommend it? Yes. Outstanding design, food, restaurant wonderment, stylish uniqueness? No. Memorable? Only one thing stands out for me and it was written on the back of their menu!
**All things in this restaurant 'chain', are ALL locally procured items, supposedly the freshest of ingredients, including their coffee, and they 'do not own a microwave or a freezer'?! Who does that today? LOL.
So putting those well thought out concepts up front in this review, the food was unfortunately, nothing to report about, truly. We looked hard. For some reasons, even though our meals came out rather quickly, the toast most of the hot items, weren't really warm OR hot. Hash browns were oily and eggs pretty runny. Another dish (Avocado Toast) seemed okay but a bit bulk-ish to get into my fellow person's (adult sized) mouth. Sadly, the coffee wasn't inspire-able either to any degree as well and the only flavored creamers was/were half & half. Our waitress seemed dislocated to check on us and only came back once.
Overall, this restaurant's cornerstones are excellent. The food production presented to the table, quality, and overall restaurant presentation were lacking. I'd give another location a second attempt but these styled restaurants with the eco-conscious formulas, should have some incredible taste to the dishes; they didn't. I mean, with locally grown, sustainable products from local vendors, I'd hope they'd have a smash hit for local flavor that tells a tale, draws the crowds for breakfast or lunch, but they don't. I earnestly look for the Foody 'Niches' that inspire and draw you - the READER into a valid spot that you can enjoy from an honest reflection. This place really didn't do that. It was almost a sleep at the wheel and surprisingly at one of THE most wealthiest spots in Phoenix to boot...
So, the food was uninspiring, but I will absolutely CREDIT them for the local-vendor-to-the-table ensemble that they've created.
For the owners, please consider an offer to review and improve this location, it could use a hearty revamp. Cheers.
