I ordered the sea bass with grilled artichoke. The plate came back with about 3ounces of sea bass if that and there was no grilled artichoke in sight. I had a blend of veggies with 3 pieces of artichoke hearts. They were not grilled at all. They were right out of the jar. Terrible. Told the manager and he brought me a bowl of artichoke hearts, but then took them back and put them on the grille. I know he tried, but that is not what I expected. The menu said grilled artichoke. I expected a whole grilled artichoke. Very disappointing. Misleading. My boyfriend order the poke bowl. Very skimpy. Barely any ahi tuna. This place is not worth the money. Won’t be going back.

It was our first time there. We ordered Oysters, sea bass, prime rib and both had a glass of wine. Our oysters came out after our dinner and we ordered them for an appetizer. The manager immediately came over and fixed everything and was so kind. It was very noisy but we really had a nice time. Would definitely return.

Our dining experience was absolutely phenomenal because of our server Christian. From the moment he approached the table he was warm, friendly and the very definition of a true hospitality professional. This was our first visit to The Arrogant Butcher and we will definitely return because of the service from Christian. The food was outstanding as well, but the service made the evening.

Server was great, drinks were a little slow but it was a Friday and they were super tasty. Food was good 9/10- we had prime rib & filet. Sides were 7/10 (creamed corn and smashed potatoes). Meatball app was great!! Would go back.

This place was great. Great food and excellent service. The table was ready exactly when we showed up and they were slammed. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in town and want to try a few places.

We had reservations for 5:00 and were seated immediately. After 20 minutes without staff coming by (no water, no drinks ordered, no bread), my husband went to find out if they had assigned a server to our table. They apologized and a manager came over to get our appetizer order, which he comped the pretzels. We had just received and started to eat our appetizers when our entrees arrived. One burger was extremely rare (ordered medium), one was overcooked (ordered medium), and the salmon, that was an addition to the salad, was dry and fishy. Overall, the service was dismal and after years of going to Arrogant Butcher when we had a special event in Phoenix, we will not be returning.
The Arrogant ButcherResponded 5 days ago
Hi Jennifer, Thank you for sharing your latest experience with us and for your loyalty over the years. I am so sorry to hear how much we dropped the ball, as you know that is not our standard. We should have stopped the snowball after the misgreet and made sure that you had flawless food and again, I apologize that did not happen. Please check your personal messages.
