Rhythm and Wine

I rate this at a 2 for a few reasons, the menu needs to be laid out differently, meaning graphically pay attention… On 3 separate occasions, it was misread on pricing.
The food selection is limited, not to our personal liking…
The positive, our waitress was awesome, but will we return, no… main reason, the one guest that I talked into returning had the same problem before…(i had no idea), but she is correct.
Our suggestion, review and understand the menu.

We recently held a large event at Rhythm and Wine, a private party requiring a lot of a restaurant in my opinion. Jordan and Julie were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were helpful, making suggestions when needed and always bending over backwards to accommodate us even when we didn’t know what we wanted. They even secured a talented musical duo for live music, as one less thing for us to worry about finding. Most importantly, the night of our event, our guests were delighted with the food, drinks, ambiance and SERVICE — the R&R staff treated our guests (and us) like VIPs all night.
What a great place to get out of the heat for lunch, dinner or drinks this summer. Thanks R&R. We’ll see you again soon!

My girlfriend treated me to dinner and she suggested to come here. I was a little weary, however, I wanted to give them another chance. I haven’t been here in over 4 years. I am not sure if they are the same owners or if there is another chef, but our meals were really good. I had the scallops over mashed sweet potatoes, who doesn’t love sweet potatoes. The scallops were sweet and tender. Delicious. My friend ordered the halibut over forbidden rice. I had a bite of the forbidden rice, very tasty. I need to come again and check some other dishes.

Have been going here for years but recently has very good food and service and excellent wine deals. It was so good I went twice in same week! Excellent healthy salads with choice of protein and excellent «wow» artichoke dip! Spicy too! Great pizza and my halibut was good to the last bite! Highly recommend

They have good food, but unsure of how I feel treated here. Every time I come here I feel like a bum off the street, when I’m actually the exact opposite, and why aren’t I treated like I’m worth something. I think their management needs to work on themselves and their staff on how to make their customers feel appreciated and valued, since we are keeping you open.

So last night my husband and I went on our weekly date nights. And the service here was truly amazing. It made our weekly date night even more romantic.

Creative food well prepared. The onion dumplings are beyond. Entrees good but not exceptional though barbecue salmon salad was quite nice. Desserts, however, redeemed the meal… deep dish apple pie and skillet s’mores were amazing! Will definitely return for an encore!

Meh. I hate to give small businesses a bad rating, so I gave this place 3 stars. Really, it was probably closer to 2. Ate here for lunch today, and I’m sorry to say it was lackluster. First, the better stuff — my daughter had the grilled cheese meal and it was okay. It could have been great, but the fries were a little on the soggy side and the bacon was cold and chewy. Other than that, she enjoyed it and the tomato soup. The server was friendly. The iced tea was good.
Now the bad — I ordered the caesar salad. For the love of God, please don’t ever order their caesar salad. They make it sound really interesting on the menu with baby romaine hearts and a pesto caesar dressing. It was just your standard run-​of-​the-​mill Red Lobster quality caesar salad with COLD grilled chicken on top. Nothing special at all about it. Seriously, I’ve had better caesar salad from fast food places. Not only is this salad a whopping $ 13 (and it was so small I was still hungry afterward), but I also had to ask for my chicken. Yep. They brought me the salad with no chicken on it. Then I asked where the pesto was. I was informed it was in the dressing. I wonder if they buy some bottled «Pesto Caesar» or something because the dressing did not taste homemade at all. I apologize if it somehow is, but it tasted like a bottled Italian dressing. I hate it when caesar is like that. Thank goodness I had a coupon for buy 1 get one free lunch, or I’d have been pissed.
Anyway, they very well might have better stuff on the menu. Like I said, the grilled cheese meal wasn’t bad. The caesar was a waste. I won’t be back but you might still give it a try.

What a charming spot to spend a casual Saturday night. Atmosphere was great. Music was perfect. Food was outstanding!!! The hostess was very accommodating as we had to change our reservation a couple of times… she did it with a smile. We will definitely go back! One of my new favorite spots.

Fun spot, good service and so-​so food. Overall, it has some nice energy and an eclectic environment so I would recommend. Just don’t go expecting a great meal.

Looks like a nice place but whhhhooaaa! Stop don’t go here! Awful service — awful food — looks like sorry to say it but «loser locals» that have no idea how to rate a wine —- at the end if your bartender and «wine concierge» has no idea how to «cork» your «nice» bottle of wine —- move on NORTH!!! Keep going don’t waste your time or money.

I live right near here but have only been a couple times, it’s a neat little place! I haven’t eaten here in a few years so this is just a review on the drinks and everything else.
Happy hour is pretty good here! They have a bunch of different wines, the couple of ones I tried were very good. My friend who came with me enjoyed the wines he tried as well. I was surprised how busy it was during happy hour since there isn’t really much in the area, didn’t expect many people to be there! Was not too crowded though, thankfully. We were able to get seats at the bar. The bartenders were all very sweet and friendly, we liked them! Also the ambiance here is really cool, we especially liked the lava lamps. Great outdoor seating too! And you can bring your dog sometimes, my parents have done that before! It is overpriced though, but that is not uncommon for places in North Scottsdale. I have to come back and give the food another try, enjoyed my experiences here!

I love to stop by for lunch. Their bruschetta’s are so tasty and just enough to get me through the afternoon without causing food coma.

Met a friend here for drinks recently and was oh so pleasantly surprised. When this place was first suggested, I thought, uh oh, another pretentious place in the heart of materialistic provincial snobbery surrounded by rubes trying hard to impress one another with their disposable overextended credit cards ;-P
I arrive and grab a seat in the laid back, heated outdoor patio. There’s a guy that resembles Lou Reed, strumming his guitar with an excellent choice of tunes. I kick back and enjoy the atmosphere, which is surprisingly not pretentious, except for the arrogant clown behind me demanding his CRUH-​DYTES from the poor waitress that obviously forgot to bring them. He is rude, he is obnoxious and he’s a dick who’s probably just looking for an excuse not to tip the poor gal who made an honest mistake on a busy night, while trying to impress his friends with his demanding arrogance.
At any rate. Friend arrives, we order a nice bottle of white wine and a few appies while we just sit back, chat, and enjoy the evening. Service is competent and friendly. Wine is good. Food is decent but nothing spectacular but the music is. I wish I could remember this guy’s name. He was THAT good. I especially enjoyed the moment when a little girl (about 4 years old), shyly approaches him to make a deposit in his tip jar. He sees her and starts to play AND sing «the wheels on the bus go round and round» and the little girl is absolutely delighted and starts dancing. Now that’s what I call a class act. Everybody loved it.
Kudos to him and kudos to this place for their business acumen. I’ve since been back one more time and hope to return soon… maybe this weekend???
In the meantime, can anybody give me the name of the musician, so we can go when he’s playing again??? He didn’t look like any of the guys listed on their calendar, so it remains a mystery.

I had the fish and chips. The tartar sauce was the best I’ve ever had. Wife had smokey scallops big plate and loved it. Total was under $ 50. No alcohol drinks.

Just had a wonderful time at R&W. Scallops app and RNW salad were delicious. Staff was friendly and acoustic classic R&R music was great. Would come back to this place.

I love the music since it creates a very cool atmosphere. The food and the service are very good.
For us dog lovers, the patio is the best. I live close by and this is a terrific spot to just stop in for a drink and a casual meal.

so disappointed! we used to come here regularly and were even part of their wine club for a whole year but sometime within the few month break that we took, the place has gone down hill.
service is sub-​par, the huge menu shift now accommodates frozen food lovers, and the drinks are watered down or taste like they game from a pre mixed cocktail bottle.
most recent and last visit we sat at a table by the bar so the «bartender» was also our server. my martini had about an inch of foam on it and huge ice chunks and his wine glass was dirty. appetizers were seafood heavy so we skipped but the entrees could have served as appetizers. the entrée sized Brussel sprout salad was more like side salad sized and was just unappetizing. there was also about a half pound of shaved cheese on top. the chicken penne was under done and for some reason the vodka sauce had what tasted to be cloves or nutmeg in it. chicken was the consistency of microwaved frozen chicken and there were about 4 bites of food on the plate.
we saw our server about 3 times the entire meal, once was to come take our order after she had already done so. eventually had to flag down another server to get our check for us while the «bartender» just kept making drinks.
we didn’t try it, thankfully, but it’s worth noting the «sangria» is wine over ice with carton orange juice poured in. that’s it?!
I’m so sad about the deterioration of this place! what was once a nice little get away is now somewhere we will avoid

Had the meatloaf and short ribs. Both came with way too many julienne veggies thrown on top of the ribs. Made for a messy presentation. Flavor was average but not tender at all.
Meatloaf was very good. Garlic mashed potatoes were cold and below average in flavor.
Service was very good.

I went here because of the certified dog friendly patio but was pleasantly surprised about really well prepared food.
I had the BBQ Salmon Salad. I don’t know what kind of salmon they used but it sure tasted like Loch Duart. The fish was rich and creamy with rich flavor. This a very above average preparation of salmon. The salad underneath was nice and fresh tasting. I liked the fresh cut corn in the salad.
My husband had the lunch meatloaf platter and swapped out the garlic mashed for the house made potato chips. Everything on his plate was seasoned well. The meatloaf was delicious but a little mushy in texture.
Service was friendly and we were checked on often.
This is a small restaurant with a stylish but funky décor. The outside (dog friendly) patio is large.
On this visit I didn’t hear any rhythm from music nor did I indulge in wine but I did have a very nice lunch.
