Chauncey Social is a New American restaurant and bar with a DJ table located in North Scottsdale Arizona. They have a wrap around patio with lots of TVS and an unusual but interesting plant boarder.

Inside looks groovy with pops of bright colors and some retro furniture.

Next to the orange booths in the bar area is a DJ table.

There’s a great big bar.

The dining tables are around the bar and are all high tops.

Further back they have booths with small cocktail tables and outside on the patio are traditional tables.

We started with Kung Pao Cauliflower ($12.00).

It’s fried really perfect! It’s not oil at all. It’s firm but cooked threw. It taste like very mild take out Chinese Food. It’s very tasty. I especially like the fresh micro cilantro on it….I think that adds something nice here. There are also some bell peppers and crushed cashews. I’d like it even better if it was kicked up a notch with a small amount of heat but still it’s very tasty.

For my main I went with the Hawaiian Steak and Noodle Salad ($18.00)

This salad is suppose to contain steak, pickled pineapple, tomato, peanuts, carrots, cabbage, basil, mint and ginger vinaigrette. The best part of my salad was the steak. It was developed with delicious flavors that seemed like from marination. It had a nice crust and was tender and juicy. The Steak was really Forking GREAT! THE FORKING TRUTH is that I want to FORKING tell you how amazing this salad should have been……but The Forking Truth is that the steak was topped with lots of micro herbs. I think they might have been micro basil but taste more like vegetal sprouts. I didn’t taste any peanuts, basil, mint or ginger in this salad. I don’t know if any were in it. I ate mostly just the meat sprouts and carrots. Because the rest was just oily but nicely cooked spaghetti with a couple chunks of pineapple. My husband loves spaghetti and took one big forkful after I finished and he said, “It’s just taste like oily spaghetti.” Well at least the steak really was very good. I didn’t complain because I forgot what was suppose to be in the salad when the waiter checked on us. I thought I had really good steak with a very bland salad.

Anywho-

My husband went for the Open Faced Steak Sandwich ($17.00)

There’s nicely prepared skirt steak, arugula, apple, pickled onion, parmesan vinaigrette and country bread. It sounds really good. I didn’t try it but my husband said the steak and bread were really good. He showed me his sandwich and it had spread on it that taste like a really mild Caesar dressing. He had trouble eating his sandwich because it was hard to eat. He said when he ate a big green leaf all the cheese fell off and he was left with a mouth of dry greens. He might have had less trouble if his sandwich came with a steak knife. I don’t know if his sandwich was made right.

I did try two fries and ketchup. The fries are really good. They were super fluffy with a crisp exterior and fried just right. The fries also had a nice potato taste. The ketchup grossed me out……it’s kind of gelatinous, sort of sweet and not as flavorful as Heinz. Maybe I just got a weird batch that someone mixed up?

The wait staff were all friendly and attentive.

The Kung Pao Cauliflower was delicious and in both plates we tried the steak was very good.

That was my trip to Chauncey Social.
