Vibrant and fun place. Food was just ok. Assumed a place with Butcher in the name would have much better steak. The steak was sad and flavorless Sea Bass was pretty good

We have been at Arrogant Butcher multiple times and keep coming back because the food is outstanding. We haven’t been for over a year until last evening. The oysters were absolutely fantastic, as usual, however we found everything else in our order to be subpar and certainly not what we are used to from AB. The pretzels were overly salty, but the dipping cheese was good. The cauliflower soup was overly runny and lacked flavor and the butcher board was thrown together and lacked what it had flavor wise in the past. The manager did remove the pretzels from our bill, which was a kind gesture. Service was excellent, ambiance was great per usual. But, we should’ve just ordered more oysters for the $100+ spent.

Went back a second night in a row with 8 of us. Equally spectacular. The filet was cooked perfectly, another person said best burger she ever had. We had shrimp, brussels, spinach and artichoke dip for appetizers, all yummy and such big portions! We also had great cocktails and desserts - the cobbler was AMAZING, as was the sticky caramel cake. Service outstanding again!

What a great menu and atmosphere for downtown Phoenix. It is a beautiful open space inside and outside you have great ambience with tables on the street. There is a great beverage menu also. I literally had the beset Seabass I have ever tasted in my life. The brussel sprouts were also the best I have ever had eaten. This is a great spot to have a date.

Ate dinner on the outdoor patio. Started inside but the music was too loud to even have a conversation. The patio was perfect-not too loud and wonderful breeze blowing through. Dinner was good. I was looking forward to the Prime Rib all day but unfortunately, they were out of it (and the sea bass and scallops). I ended up getting the French dip, which was good. The service, drinks, and bruschetta trio were very good and my wife enjoyed the chicken. I would eat here again.
The Arrogant ButcherResponded 5 days ago
Hi James! Thank you for sharing your experience! I do apologize about the noise, but am glad to hear that the patio was a good option for you as well. I also apologize about not having those items available. We do our best to make sure the whole menu is available and I am sorry we dropped the ball during your visit. We would love to have you back to try them!
