    I received a card for my birthday and decided to try it. SO GLAD I DID! It was excellent! The atmosphere is some of the best in the valley. The drinks were fantastic, the food was beautiful presented and tasted amazing. They also have a beautiful bar and patio area. It’s a scratch kitchen so be prepared to have a nice, leisurely meal. Definitely go. You won’t be sorry.

    I have been going to the Wrigley Mansion for many years to celebrate life events with brunch. The history of the place is a part of the history of Phoenix. I have watched renovations and improvements over many years and the Mansion just gets better and better. Our waiter, John, explained the menu and answered all our questions. He was polite and fun. He took care of our every need as did the rest of staff. The food was delicious!

    We had our First Date here and it was absolutely incredible. Staff was very attentive and did their absolute best to not interrupt conversations, or kept it to a minimum when required. I selected the Miso Salmon , and my date selected the Spicy Salmon Hand rolls. We were both very impressed with the presentation and flavor of the hand rolls. The Miso Salom was cooked beautifully to the Chefs recommendations and I would absolutely get it a second time. We shared a bottle of champagne to go with the meal and our server, Jake D. made sure that our glasses never went empty until the bottle did. Noise wise, it was what you might expect from a restraunt where each table is likely celebrating for one reason or another. That is to say it was a good level for normal conversations. No need to yell or shout, but at times I could hear the gradual rise in general volume. This was our experience when we sat outside in the patio area, I may recommend an indoor reservation if you would prefer a quieter setting.

    Having worked in the restaurant business, you have a higher expectation of what an experience should be. Food becomes bland, poor service is the norm, and you pick everything apart. My wife and I have elaborate discussions during most dinners about how everything has no care or love anymore, and eating is just passing the time. Nothing stands out. I will say this dinner was one of the best overall meals I can remember. The food had flavor for days, and the service was exceptional. Thank you for having a Chilean wine on the menu! That banana ice cream was unreal and was a great finish to the dinner. Thank you for letting me be a part of your culinary journey.
