About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails
Hot spot

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 restaurant has a great interior and the staff was friendly. Our food came out fairly quickly. However, the smoke alarm was going off for more than 30 minutes! Our server told us that it "always happens". It was so loud and distracting for that reason alone, I will not be back. Secondly, the food we mediocre at best and expensive. The steak tartare was good as was the pork (but with a VERY sweet glaze - which was not expected or desired). The cabbage was a joke - tasteless and with 1/2 of it a piece of core and inedible. The drinks were also very sweet (which was not welcomed). I would be hesitant to go back or to recommend this place to anyone I cared about.

Great vibe and awesome service! Even though the check-in wait was a little long, they made up for it with some free goodies. Totally worth it!

It pains me to give less than a 5 star across the board ! We traveled from Michigan to visit family and this was on our must do list . The restaurant has a great vibe, our server was so friendly and fun . Most importantly, the food was amazing, eclectic and well thought out. We were blown away ! Here where it takes a turn . They have a open kitchen concept which I do like , but apparently the ventilation system cannot (or at least the night we were there ) could not evacuate the amount of smoke coming off the cooking area and therefore the smoke detectors went off repeatedly all night, and where we were eating by the kitchen , we got smoked out . While the crew apologized, it was super annoying and will give them a pass since they have been open a few months, but it’s got to be a priority to remedy this issue.
