This is one of my old Scottsdale standbys.  The mushroom dish is great, the wine list expansive, and the food consistently good.  My only concern is that the last few visits have revealed that the menu is rather static.  We have always had a good experience here, but Cowboy Ciao was initially known as a refreshing alternative to the expensive yet mediocre restaurants that otherwise plague Scottsdale.  I hope they get back to that someday.
