Scottsdale food and service was phenomenal. We couldn’t quite figure out why the wait staff was so much more professional than what we encounter in D.C.
Susan thinks it’s because low wage workers in Scottsdale get more for their money than low wager workers in D.C., therefore you get higher quality people. I think it was because Scottsdale is an affluent suburb, therefore the part time workers are all from wealthy families and tend to be higher quality workers.
We ate at RA Sushi, which is a regional chain with 10 locations. I had what they call yellowtail tapas, which was raw yellowtail with a garlic tangy sauce. Susan had what was essentially a California roll with eel sauce.
Tex-mex is a midwest thing, so we had to try that as well. The Spotted Donkey Cantina came as highly recommended on Yelp. We had their tacos, Susan had shredded beef and I had pork. Both had been marinated in a tangy spicey sauce, and came with a side of shredded pickled carrots and smoked black beans.
On our last morning we had breakfast at the Bristle Brush Bar and Grill, the golf course restaurant at the hotel. I had conrbread waffles with fresh whipped cream and strawberry sauce, while Susan got the lobster mac & cheese. We also delighted in the best cappuccino I think I’ve ever had. I can’t quite pinpoint what made it so good, but it had a nutty, smooth, creamy flavor.
