MBar

Had great service here from a young man. I want to say his name was Justin. I came in with a rather large group and he took care of everyone promptly. I really enjoyed the handmade cocktails with fresh ingredients. He even took the time to write down a recipe for me of one of the drinks I really liked. I would say our group was kind of a handfull but the bartenders were professional and took great care of us. Thanks again!

This is an awesome place to meet clients, colleagues & friends for Happy Hour (3-6 pm).  It's at the chic Montelucia resort in Paradise Valley.  I enjoy coming here because the atmosphere is awesome and so is the food & drink.  Some menu items I've sampled:

Fig/Proscuitto Flatbread (Fig, Cherry Spread, Goat Cheese, Arugula), $15
Sausage Flatbread (Tomato Sauce, Pork Sausage, Chorizo),  $15

Happy Hour menu items I've had:

Glass of Blackstone (Pinot Grigio, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon), $5
Marinated Spanish & Italian Olives, $5
White Bean Hummus, $6

The service here is great as well.  The servers respect your privacy if you're here for business, but at the same time keep your glasses and plates full.

Clients are always impressed when we come here for a meeting.

Met a client/friend there for happy hour.  Sat outside till the sun went down and moved inside.  The ambiance is nothing short of phenomenal, both inside and out.  Our server was Allison.  She knows her trade.   She is extremely friendly and helpful, and knows when we need service and doesn't sweep our dishes away as we have the last bite at our mouth.  She also does not continue returning asking if we needed something nor ignoring us completely and leaving us to ask, "Where the heck is our server??"  There is a large sitting area outside with firepits.  The M Bar is a large, curved bar with plenty of seating both at the bar and around it.  Whoever designed it knew what he/she was doing.  I didn't have a chance to drink their signature cocktails this time, albeit my friend did, and I tasted both.  One sip doesn't help me write a review, nor are they the types of drinks I'd order.  I ordered their happy hour cab and merlot.   Both were good.  I had the grilled prawns and bruschetta.    I thought the prawns were perfect.  They truly were grilled and I wished I had more.  There were two brushetta pieces, one with tomato and the other with small chunks of blue cheese and quinoa and I think some kind of preserve.  I really liked the blue cheese bruschetta.  The tomato one, it was good but didn't particularly stand out.  I can't wait to go there again for the atmosphere, the service, and the food.
