    Ryan our server was amazing and very accommodating. We didn’t expect them to have much for vegan options but he tried his best to make things work for us and also made sure we had a pleasurable and comfortable experience on a colder night. He was amazing and everything was great.

    The ambiance in the both the bar and the restaurant was perfect. Moody and sexy in the bar, vibrant and energetic in the restaurant. We did enjoy the acoustics, which allowed for hearing the music without having to yell to hear each other. It felt both open and intimate. The food was amazing as well. We had the wagyu filet mignon, green beans, mashed potatoes and lemon chicken, as well as the chocolate bar for dessert. Plus a half dozen oysters. Everything tasted amazing, as did the cocktails. I highly recommend this place for a night of fine dining.

    What a fun place! Young, lively, decor great. Food delicious! Only get to Phoenix once a year and this place was not a disappointment for our only dinner out on the town. A definite do over. 4 star on staff was only because it was so busy and the bar seemed hard put to keep up. Everyone was cheerful, friendly and fun so 5 stars on the personalities!
