    Everything went well but the The chicken felt very bland and fake and the skin were the seasoning was on would fall right off the chicken so you would constantly have to pick up the skin and put it on the chicken. The scenery is nice just really pricey

    This was nearly a perfect meal except for a screaming child across the dining room. As a hotel linked restaurant not too many options for restaurant staff when guest parents are inattentive to a child throwing a fit. Otherwise, as usual, great food, equally great service with reasonable pricing. One of our "go to" places in Phoenix. Will be back!

    Definitely expected a bit better from the price point and offering, but at the end of the day it felt like a mediocre hotel restaurant. The chips and guacamole was good, came with two salsa's we weren't expecting. Then the chicken tortilla soup was likely the best item I had, though it wasn't hard to be better than the overcooked mahi mahi with a basic salsa on top, but plated on top of a strange balsamic vinegar... My spouse had the bbq burger and thought it was delicious, he had the BBQ on the side which is probably why it wasn't a mushy mess when it arrived. Basic drinks with Las Vegas pricetags put this spot on my not to return list.

    It was very enjoyable. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We went for Restaurant Week. I started with the salmon croquette and my wife had the coconut shrimp. The croquettes were good but the coconut shrimp was fantastic! We both had the short rib enchiladas which were really good but were served with a mole sauce, not our favorite. Can't knock Fuego for that though, it was still very favorable. I had cheesy mashed potatoes that could've had a bit more spice and she had the cheesy corn that was great. We both had the jalapeno corn bread, it was fantastic! Dessert of horchata bread pudding and ancho chile torte was also very good and topped off with sangria. Overall the food was good, just a personal taste that I like more complexity with the spices. Loved the vibe, it was surprisingly slow when we where there on a Saturday night. Maybe we just missed the crowds. Live music is always a bonus. Given the menu prices not sure it would be a regular go to without a special but didn't have any complaints either. Give it a shot!

    We came for restaurant week and did enjoy the food and the service. Our reservation was at 6pm which was perfect for us. As we neared the end of our time at the restaurant, there was a band playing out on the porch AND a music group playing at the front of the restaurant. Just too much noise for us and it did not enhance the experience at all.

    We went during restaurant week, so keep that in mind for the review. The restaurant is inside the Clarendon hotel. It was very busy and very noisy. We had to shout to hear each other talk. The food was very good, but the service was very slow.

    Amazing selections during restaurant week! The beans, the empanadas, the seafood chile relleno and the key lime pie were all fantastic. Server was attentive, ambiance was great. Semi noisy due to the space but live music in the lounge and on the misted patio. Restroom was a little weird otherwise a wonderful date night with my wife. We will surely come back again!

    Yum, Yum Yum.. greatest service and delicious food. Chili Thai Shrimp was very flavorful appetizer. I had the Mahi Mahi with mango salsa, delicious with Chili Corn Bread & Green Beans. The rest of the party had the Surf & Turf Pasta which everyone enjoyed plus took home the extra! White Sangria was a great drink along with the Key Lime dessert & w olives there Torte! Can’t wait to return!

    The menu was confused. The food was really bad. The salmon croquet was soggy, the sauce on top was broken and the salmon was not fresh. Gross. Don't even try the deserts, they yave no sweetness to them and they all have the ugly funk of corn flower. This menu is so confused as to be hilarious. Bar is great, live music was on point, service was ok, hotel is good. When you stay, just go somewhere else to eat.

    We returned after about 6 months ago for Cuban cuisine. I am somewhat challenged with the menu choices as I don't eat pork, but usually I find a fish or seafood selection. The blackened mahi mahi tasted very good but was slightly overdone (dry) and a smaller portion than I expected. My dining companion had the special short ribs and claimed that it was very good and was an ample portion. The dessert (key lime pie) was a small slice and very pricey. We have enjoyed Jeff's culinary presentations for well over 20 years and look forward to returning again.
