About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Hot spot
  • Good for special occasions
From the Pretty Decent Concepts team comes Filthy Animal. Elegant and wild, this concept is inspired by the beauty and brutality of the jungle. Featuring a wood fire cooking pit as the focal point of the restaurant, this concept is delivering a dining experience like no other in Arizona.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Stepping into Filthy Animal is a transportive experience, thanks to a sexy dining room done up in rich leathers, dark wood, and hanging greenery—all centered around a large jaguar. The global restaurant comes from the team behind popular spots Wren & Wolf and Carry On, and must-tries on the wood-fire-driven menu include tuna pineapple ceviche and spicy grilled lobster with mala sauce and gochujang butter. Pro tip: Don't miss Drop Dead Gorgeous, the disco-inspired cocktail bar hidden inside.

    The server was friendly knowledgeable and checked in just the right amount of time. Timing between items requested was well spaced and not rushed. Enjoyed the signature cocktails and eclectic menu options. Will definitely be back!

    We had a very good experience! The ambiance was wonderful, creating the perfect atmosphere for our gathering. We had originally made a reservation for 8 guests but needed to add 2 more at the last minute. I left a message, and they quickly responded and were more than happy to accommodate the change. Our server was fantastic — he answered all of our questions and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were great as well. Overall, a very smooth and enjoyable experience.

    The service was terrible and the food came out cold after waiting over an hour for the food and at least 30 minutes for the drinks

    Great food, marginal appetizers, and definitely working out the kinks. Service was ridiculously slow. Tons of potential

    This place is absolutely stunning and such a beautiful spot with the perfect vibe whether you’re hanging out with friends or out on a date. The ambience, food, and service are all truly top tier. We loved everything we tried, especially the grilled oysters, croquettes, fried rice, lemongrass chicken, and branzino. I also want to shout out the manager, Colin. When we first arrived, there was a mix-up with seating, but he went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He genuinely listens to his customers with empathy and is committed to making sure everyone leaves happy. Colin is a true asset to the team. We’ll definitely be back, not just because we felt valued and welcome, but because the entire dining experience was fantastic from start to finish!

    I have mixed feelings about this restaurant, which was was very busy the evening we were there. The atmosphere was fun, and the food and drinks were very good, with one exception. Unfortunately, the service was horrible, which negatively influenced our experience. Our waitress ignored us most of the evening. She seemed impatient and I would go so far as to say rude. By far the worst service I have had in a long, long, long time. The cocktails were great, though the selection somewhat was limited. The food was enjoyable, though overpriced. The only disappointment were the chilled oysters, which had a sauce that was overpowering. The oysters tasted better when we scraped off the topping. The brie was very good, but should have been served with an additional slice or two of bread, as we had a lot of cheese left over. The branzino was a filet rather than the entire fish, but the flavor was very good. The steak was probably the best thing on the menu. Portions were fairly small for the price. We will probably return, with the hopes of better service.

    Very cool experience. Great ambiance food is also delicious, but a few Little kinks to work out, especially since it’s a new restaurant, but definitely will be back.

    My boyfriend and I had a fabulous time at filthy animal. We had early reservations at 4:45 on a Saturday and had no trouble getting it. Unfortunately, they only have eight two tops inside, so we agreed to have our meal on the patio. The patio was gorgeous and very quiet, but definitely not the same ambience as inside. We got the baked brie and dumplings for appetizers and they did not disappoint. For our main, we got the lemongrass chicken and the lamb chops. The lamb chops were good, but nothing to write home about. However, the lemongrass chicken is absolutely phenomenal. It had great flavor and it was incredibly juicy, it was also served on a delicious bag of potatoes and someone who hates potatoes that is high praise. The service was excellent and they made sure to check if we had any allergies however, I feel it is a bit too formal. I feel like there’s still finding their footing however, when they do this place will be top-notch. I’d highly suggest paying filthy animal a visit.

    Filthy Animal has amazing food, drinks and energy. It is super busy as it’s pretty new and a great photo opportunity! We did end up waiting a while for some drinks from the bar because it was pretty busy, but other than that the dining experience was amazing. Would definitely come back!
