Why:
Sitting happily amongst other good venues and shops, about 100m up the main drive into Kierland Commons on your right, is The Greene House.
It’s the sort of place you go to if you have had a long day and just want to relax with a good meal and cheerful conversation, or even if you’re in a group and are in the mood to party, and need a good feed at the beginning or end of it.
From lunchtime onwards it’s a hustly bustly yellow-lit hive of happy activity and good food, and you’d best be hungry as the serves are generous.
We visited twice at different times and, despite the place being fairly busy on both occasions, the service was swift and friendly. The food also came out relatively quickly, tasted great and left you wondering what you might order when you come back next time (once you get over your food coma, which you’ll certainly have if you finish what’s on your plate).
The place is very clean with a homely “polished wood” feel, the dress code is casual and dining is inside or outside. In winter it can be a bit cold outside, but having said that, we visited in mid November (barely 2 weeks away from winter in this part of the world) and the temperature outside was just fine – only a light jacket required. It can also get pretty warm here at lunchtime even at that time of year, so you won’t need to stress too much about the temperature generally.
Taking its cues from the Californian west coast, the fare is generally protein and three-veg, but the menu has a good range and most dishes can be cooked to order.
Soft drinks are also bottomless so don’t be concerned if your still-half-full glass of Pepsi is whisked away and replaced with a full one – don’t worry, you’ve only be charged once.
You will also be pleasantly surprised by the bill at the end of your visit – and it’s no surprise that this restaurant is one of the most popular in Scottsdale. We will certainly return there.
