RESTAURANT REVIEW
What does a nice Jewish boy from Chicago do when he tires of living in cold weather? He moves to Scottsdale and opens a restaurant featuring high-quality ingredients prepared with the utmost of respect. That describes Eliot Wexler's establishment, where the typical meal consists of dishes like a wild fluke crudo with Champagne gastrique, followed by lamb "T-Bones" served with melted leeks, haricots verts and a carrot nage. The combination of "fantastic food" and "a very reasonable price point" makes this "a breath of culinary fresh air" for the locals and those who migrate to who the Phoenix/Scottsdale area for the winter.
