    This is a massive space with indoor and outdoor seating options. Parking in the back (which is where the entrance is actually located,) is plentiful.

    The food and cocktails were great! The service was top-notch! The parking was a shitshow but they tried to be accommodating. The only negative is that we had to practically yell to be heard. I don't understand why acoustics are rarely considered in the design of a restaurant.

    They have been doing a great job with the cocktail classes. It is a fun event and we want to see more of these events available with new offerings of the cocktails so that we will keep returning each time they offer them.

    The noise level inside was deafening. The hostess was very accommodating to seat us on the patio and service was excellent. We loved the food and service but unfortunately when weather does not permit sitting on the patio we will have to go somewhere else. I wish they could do something to dampen the sound level.

I do appreciate that all the servers are educated regarding the menu. They answer all questions & give the best recommendations. The food is delicious as always. Big purr.

    I love culinary dropout… but this location was rough. Service was so slow. Like 20 mins to get drinks… and then another 45 to get food. Half the meals were cold. It’s not my usual experience but man it was rough.

    We had two back out of our large reservation last-minute. They were accommodating. Everything was great. Food is solid, service is at an appropriate level. Football games on, a crowd (but not too large), and games at the yard. What more could you ask for? Maybe a slightly smaller bill, haha.

    Our family date was a lot of fun and our server, Mr Mustache, was a great sport and joined in that fun. The food was just okay. So just okay, that I don’t remember anything about it. My nieces were super bummed that the butternut pasta dish was no longer on the menu. They were both really looking forward to it. Again, we had a great time and it was really nice to be at a place where we could get loud and connect with one another.

    Sitting at the couch section with a big group of people is not comfortable. I had to practically sit on the floor to eat my food. While everyone else was holding their food in their lap. It is just not a practical sitting area if you are also ordering food.

    Wasn’t impressed. There was a lot of hype about this restaurant. We were told that the Scottsdale location was a lot better from several locals but chose to be at the Phoenix location. Food was ok but did not live up to the hype. The daiquiri was liquid and the spicy margarita has just spice and no flavor. The nachos and curry were amazing but the burger was dry and the chopped salad was horrible. Competing flavors and a little too much was done to create something tasty and crisp. It was also so loud. The live music was amazing but you couldn’t hear the person next to you.

    Atmosphere was fun for a Friday evening around dinner time. Very loud inside with a live singer which was not our favorite as a group but we appreciated the authenticity of live music. Given how busy it was, the wait staff was relatively slow. We didn’t mind this so much because we were celebrating a birthday and catching up with loved ones. But I can see how if you were a couple, slow wait staff may be more frustrating. My food was good but not great. I got the steak frites which tasted good and was cooked rare as I had requested but was honestly colder than I would’ve expected. My wife had the salmon which was very good. Our cocktails were also very delicious. I think this restaurant is a 3.5/5 overall. Occasionally 4/5 on a good night. I would return here but probably wouldn’t frequent this restaurant overall.
