A place that still honors fashion; even after its destruction and reconstruction of the building that once housed a top of the line Department store. If only i could give it a higher rating, based solely on that, but alas this review is about the food. We arrived about 10pm on a friday, so i was thrilled that the full menu was still available; as the entire downtown PHX had almost closed down completely. We sat at the sleek bar, only to be served by a gentleman wearing a filthy butchers apron, it was so unappealing, but i thought if others stayed regardless, then the food must be off the hook!\n\nThe music definitely moved me, and i think its what was keeping the people there, lucky for the kitchen.\n\nWrong, It was anything but. The pizza margarita tasted as though it were made with cheddar, exactly like a mexican cheese crisp. Not good at all! Turns out they make it with a mixture of 3 italian cheeses mozzarella, provolone and asiago. In my opinion provolone should always be served with a meat or mushrooms, because its bold flavor is too over powering to be served with light flavors. \n\nThe pork sandwich was soo dry, it was served on hard bread too. I had one bite and left it for brian. I won't be trying that one again. \n\nThe best part of my meal was only $4+ and it was the side salad=super big. They added hearts of palms too! I couldn't believe the serving size. Too bad their balsamic dressing is straight balsamic, It would have been okay had they brought out olive oil too. They served me a gobblet of straight balsamic dressing for the salad. \n\nI think they are trying very hard to be cool, but they exert little effort. They do half the job great, then they slack off, so its kinda like being in Willy Wonka's half room. You fall in love with one part, then quickly realize it lacks big time.\n\nThe decor is nice, but not enough to make up for the weird uniforms of dirty white butcher shirts or the proscuitto sitting out in the open air; with flys dancing around, sitting on your meat and having a feast until they slice off your piece. Not my cup 'o tea thank you very much. \n\nMaybe my next try will be better, because I will give it another 2 times, as it takes 3 times to know what they trully have to offer.
