3.5 stars - overall pleased, would adopt as a happy hr. standby, rated downward b/c food was decent, not raveworthy.\n\nQuite pleasantly surprised to discover this airy, spacious resto-lounge in Scottsdale Fashion Sq. Stopped in during happy hr. on a Thursday, decent mix of patrons. Overall space is versatile and occasion-friendly, great alfresco feel as giant oak doors were opened to the outdoor patio. Lounge is perfect for small parties with low couches and leather sofa chair seating. Great happy hr. specials (M-F 4-6pm) $5 small plates, well drinks, house wine, sangria. \n\nProsciutto bruschetta w/crescenza cheese, arugula & fig preserves was perfectly balanced. Italian sausage flatbread w/pequillo peppers & goat cheese - the peppers and goat cheese made this flatbread, the sausage was overly crumbled and didn't add much flavor. The cheese plate was fine - a mild blue and a mild Spanish cheese, plated with thinly sliced apples, marinated in a fruit jam.\n\nApparently, they're serving a $20 3-course prix-fixe w/several interesting options through 10/31. Menu here: <url> White (pink) sangria was prettily presented sugar-rimmed, but served sans fruit (odd). Have had much better sangria. Service was spotty but potentially b/c bartender was doubling as our server, other servers ended up busing our table and were helpful.\n\nLook forward to checking out other Fox concepts True Food Kitchen and Zinburger.
