    Went to Blue Hound before an event at Arizona Financial Theater. Had not been there in many years. Had a fantastic meal. The ahi tuna “seared” was the best I’ve ever had. Amazing. Service was really good and we had a table tucked away in a bit of a nice corner which was nice as the noise level was fine. Not inexpensive, but for the first time in a while had no problem with the bill given the quality of the dinner. Actually, we have another event coming up in a few days in the downtown area and tried to make a reservation for that evening, unfortunately they were booked, except for outside seating, which is picnic tables without any shade. Had to pass on that option. Overall, great evening at the Blue Hound!!

    Great food and ambiance. We reserved before a concert and were out in time to catch the opening act. Glad I reserved because I accidentally left my wallet and Denise quickly called AND left a message through open table! Saved me from stressing 😊

    Service was very slow. Took a long time for the server to come take our drink orders, then he failed to mention all the beers they were out of. Drinks took a long time to come. Same with the food. When it did arrive it was very good. Not a great overall experience.

    We were a little late for our reservation but they held our nice table for us. They were definitely short staffed. Drinks were good, $20 for a skinny margarita. Food was good also. My French dip was fabulous. We had to hunt down our waiter for the check.

    The food was absolutely amazing. The staff were all very, very nice. The only recommendation I would make and it’s no fault of the hostess someone higher up is telling her to do this but anyway when we arrived, we said we had reservations and she said she’d go and check on our table and she handed us a menu and said we could go ahead and start looking at the menu and I thought that was a bit rushed and it’s usually part of the sit down experiences looking at the menu together not in the lobby
