Wanted to try this place after multiple lists cited the Big Ass Burger as being one of the top ten burgers in the greater Phoenix area.\n\nMeh.  I've experienced better.\n\nWent on a Thursday night.  Restaurant has an upscale feel (Scottsdale!  Imagine that) and was decently full.  No reservation, no problem.  Were seated relatively quickly by the hostess after being ignored for about three minutes by the male host, who was more interested in talking on the phone than making eye contact with any of the three groups standing in front of him.\n\nThe waitress was pleasant and attentive, and a good sport when I told her I would settle for the \"tap water\".  That's right, first question was if we wanted any fancy water, or if we were fine with the \"tap water\" they just poured in our glasses.  Ha ha - tap water.  Pretentious much?  It was delicious tap water, though.  The water pipes in Scottsdale must be less rusted than those in neighboring, less-cultured cities.\n\nOn to the food!  The Big Ass Burger was, in fact, quite large.  However, ordering it medium-rare means you get it pink throughout (whoo!) and dry as hell (suck!).  Not sure how they managed that, but they did.  Definitely far from one of the ten best in the greater Phoenix area.\n\nOn another note, my female accompaniment greatly enjoyed her Waldorf Salad, coconut green tea, and cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e.\n\nI would recommend the coconut green tea.  Everything else I could've done without.\n\nMaybe I'll give you another try, Roaring Fork.  Maybe.
