I have been in love with Cornish Pasty Co. since they opened in Tempe in 2005. Since then, they've opened a location in Mesa and now a location in Scottsdale. I have been waiting for a Scottsdale location for years and my wish was finally granted! \n\nMy husband and I have been here twice since they've opened. The first time we came for dinner. We found parking easily, but I can see how the parking lot could fill up fast. There is no hostess station, it's more of a seat yourself establishment. If you catch a waiter's eye, they'll tell you to sit wherever you wish. I'm totally cool with this. Luckily, there is a lot of seating - both inside and out. We chose to sit outside, so we could enjoy the patio. The patio is large with an awesome bar, a square table fitted around a tree, and large liquor barrels stationed about (for decoration/tables). Our waitress was quick to stop by for drink orders. When she brought us waters, we were ready to order food. The Scottsdale location has some new appetizers that the Tempe location doesn't, so we decided to try something new the Parliament Wings. My husband ordered the lamb and mint pasty and I ordered a bowl of soup - my favorite being the cream of leak with potato and Stilton. Our wings were quick to arrive and were tasty. Not the best wings I've ever had, but still good. The soup and pasty arrived as we were just finishing up the wings. They were delicious and tasted just how we expected. (I would highly recommend the soup - especially if you like Stilton or any blue cheese. It is tangy and smooth. It also comes with some house made bread which is scrumptious.) It was a very good meal and definitely lived up to the high expectations we had. \n\nOur second visit was for lunch. We decided to try the Cornish Meatballs (another new appetizer) and ordered a pasty to split. The meatballs were different but good. The meatballs are wrapped in bacon and come in a small cauldron like pot which has croutons, saut\u00e9ed onions, and a tangy mustard-like sauce. Again, our pasty was delicious. (I love their crust; the little braid on top is my fav.) \n\nOverall, I would say this is a great success and I will definitely be back. I am super excited to finally have a Scottsdale location so I can now get my pasty fix whenever I want!
