About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    We dined at Filthy Animal last night with our family, and we were thoroughly impressed. The ambience and décor were stunning, stylish, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. What stood out most was the staff’s appearance and professionalism. These days, it’s rare to walk into a restaurant and feel that the servers are dressed with class and sophistication. At Filthy Animal, every server looked polished and refined, dressed in beautiful, tasteful uniforms that truly matched the upscale environment. Our server was excellent, friendly, professional, and very attentive. We felt genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. Service was seamless, the food came out promptly, the drinks were fantastic, and every dish was delicious. This place hits every mark of what a high-end restaurant should be. We absolutely recommend Filthy Animal and will definitely be back!

    Fantastic service- our server was so knowledgeable and personable! Food was fine. Miso cheesecake was thick and cloying. What looks like ice cream is pecan ganache that adds nothing. Most dishes have a spicy element. Ambience- i actually liked the jungle bordello vibe. However the restaurant is so smoky from the open kitchen. The smoked pineapple and meats all look fantastic, though.

    This was our first time at filthy animal, and we will definitely go back. Luke was great and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and sharing his thoughts and opinions on dishes. Everything was delicious starting with a cocktails we adored the baked brie appetizer, and all of our entrées were extremely flavorful.

    We started off with the beef tartare and the grilled oysters both were a first for me and I was not disappointed! Our favorite main dish was the ancho chile glazed chop!

    Great service and ambiance, concept is overall fun. However I was not impressed by the food, not bad but definitely not worth the hype.
