    Our server was so nice, I think his name was Kaylen. Experience: When we arrived (had a reservation), there were plenty of open tables for 4. We were seated next to a large private party going on in a somewhat private room but there is an opening in the wall right at our table so we could hear all the screams & laughter. That’s a great thing for them but it got progressively louder as our meal went on. Unfortunately, it totally ruined the experience for me because it was SO loud. We even skipped dessert because none of us could hear each other talking. Food: Scallops were great! Wasn’t a super fan of the stroganoff… it started to split as it cooled off. The short rib bao was WONDERFUL!! Tip: I know it’s holiday season and it sounded like the private party was having a blast. Maybe find another way to accommodate other patrons so we can enjoy dinner too.

    Great food, prices are great, staff wonderful. I can go on and on about how good things are. My only complaint is the noise level. With our party of four, we had a very difficult time having a conversation and had to repeat frequently. For that reason, we probably won’t return. Everything else was great and I’m sorry to not consider returning due to the noise level.

    Usually very good but this was second visit when seafood tasted old. Why? This used to be a highly regarded place. Manager replaced the seafood but this shouldn't happen. Not sure we will risk it again.

    This was our first time for my sister birthday and it was lovely! The service was spot on and the food was 10/10! We had the Cobb salad, fondue, scallops, meatloaf, and butter cake and they were all memorably delicious. We asked for a quieter setting if possible due to my dad being hard of hearing and they set us on the outskirts which definitely helped! Although it definitely got louder as the restaurant filled up for the evening. We will definitely be back this was a great experience for the family!

    I recently visited Arizona Public House and had a mostly enjoyable experience. The food was exceptional—every dish was flavorful, well-prepared, and worth the price. The ambiance was equally impressive, with a cozy yet modern vibe that made for a pleasant dining atmosphere. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that service was smooth and efficient. However, one downside was the noise level. The clientele during my visit were quite loud, which made it difficult to fully relax and enjoy the experience. If you’re looking for a quiet, intimate setting, this might not be the best choice during peak hours. The staff seemed unwilling to ask noisy dinners to keep it down for the benefit of others. Overall, it’s a great spot for delicious food and good service, but perhaps better suited for a lively night out than a calm dining experience.
