I chose to eat here due to the proximity of the Palomar Hotel. The place was not overly busy, but we were told that there was a 20 minute wait. We sat down and patiently waited and waited and waited. After 45 minutes we were seated outside which was fine since the weather was pleasant that evening. The problem was the entire time we were waiting there were four, then five, then six tables that were not being used. Once we were seated it took another 5 minutes or so to get water or even be able to place a drink order. After the waiter showed, I realized the place was name after the wrong person. The Arrogant Waiter is a much better suited name. Maybe he was suppose to act this way as a gimmick that goes along with the name of the restaurant, but this was lost on me. We both ordered the strip steak and had to have the side changed to potatoes. The crispy potatoes were pretty good. Both of our steaks were very over cooked, dry and lacked flavor. The total bill with drinks and appetizer was $150.00 which would not be bad if the service and food would have been good or at least average.. The entire experience from beginning to end was very disappointing. The next time I am in Phoenix, this will not be a place I visit again.
