I have eaten here several times and the one thing u cant go wrong with is their salads. I recommend the steak salad which is awesome.

Restaurants going out of business is certainly common here in Scottsdale. Being a resort/tourism city the economy has been significantly harmed.

I think as someone else mentioned, the restaurants they have been well managed, around for a number of years and didn't go into debt to expand are being hurt but most will survive. New restaurants, poorly managed ones (in my experience that overs well over 50% of them), or ones that decided to expand and/or borrow money at the peak of the economy are the ones closing.

The puzzler to me is how some of these people consistently find people to finance new restaurants when they have a track record of incompetent management.

One place closed here this year and didn't pay their employees (including their taxes/ss) for months. Yet the guy is supposedly opening a new place. Wonder where he will get the employees.

rich, many restaurant employee's don't care who the boss is, they are just looking for work and have alot of competition, unfortunately the really bad workers end up working for people with bad track records, which makes it even worse. when we look in the paper for work, we never aply at places who seem to always have and ad. there is a fine restaurant on charles st which seems to run an ad 365 days a year, I not only will never apply there but I won't eat there either. I tend to find out what places have a very low turn over, like where I work now!
