This was a wonderful experience. Friday night date for my wife and I started with a couple drinks that were expertly crafted. I had the brisket washed Whiskey cocktail called a good the bad and the ugly… My wife had another drink that was fairly complicated and I don’t remember what it was called. We both were very happy with our choices Next, we had the Sabel fish ceviche we love ceviche, but this was different in excellent very light and citrusy my wife was in love with it I thought it was great, but she absolutely raved about it Next, we split the short rib taco plate, which was enormous and delicious. They had these amazing blue corn flour tortillas that you must get. Essentially it’s a taco board you build your own with a giant smoked short rib as the main meat tons of sauces and grilled peppers and slaw and everything you could want. I gotta say this was a ton of food and we finished about a third of it. Our waitress was amazing and said she would be happy to box it up for us within minutes. She came back out and you could tell she’s done this 100 times. We had another entire meal the next day, which was equally delicious. Overall, I really enjoyed this meal and I wasn’t expecting much going into it because I was unaware of the restaurant but coming out. I would definitely recommend if you live anywhere near Scottsdale. You should check this place out.

My friend took me to The House Brasserie for my birthday. We were seated right by the outdoor fireplace which made for a lovely ambiance. Tommy was our waiter. He was attentive, friendly and efficient. The food was excellent. I had the Salmon and my friend had the Sea Bass. For my birthday, Tommy brought out a chocolate desert with ice cream on top. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend this resturant.
