Onyx Bar & Lounge — Restaurant in Scottsdale

I asked for a mezcal negroni and the bartender refused to give me mezcal and instead used tequila. I think he felt that mezcal should not be mixed into a cocktail. I asked if he gave me mezcal and I pointed to the bottle of tequila that he pulled down and he said “yes thats mezcal.” I asked why it says tequila on there and he told me it was a mix of tequila and mezcal. I feel that I was lied to about this. My mom also asked if there were any mezcal cocktails he would make and he said “Mezcal is good on its own and should not be mixed”.

Drinks on the patio and odd business practices.

Without getting a drink bill, one is asked for a CC when ready to pay. Then the CC signing slip is delivered sans the typical detailed bill. When asked about the lack of a detailed bill, a lecture on the international nature and clientele of the 4 seasons is given and how this is the way it's done, somewhere I guess, maybe Mars, or Canada? Then comes more mumbling on how payment is normally done at the table but it doesn't work here.
