Not your typical loud, clubby type of restaurant in the heart of old town. The drinks: very innovative and complex flavors (something this place does very well). I recommend trying their take on the vesper martini with olive oil washed vodka which has a nice, smooth finish. However, they have a ton of fun ones that are worth a sip as well. The food: holy moly. I couldn't believe how perfect every single bite of food I had was. The arancini was so delicious, with a drizzle of hot sauce that gave it a perfect kick, and the garlic buns were life changing (both are MUST orders). In terms of entrees, we tried the pork belly tacos and the birria skewer. Both were delicious as well - be sure to order some tortillas on the side for the birria! We got to have a nibble of their key lime pie cheesecake which was extremely interesting (flavor wise and presentation). Overall, 10/10 recommend this spot!

My family and I came to check it out, and we all really enjoyed it. The menu is such a cool fusion of Asian and Mexican/Latin flavors -- definitely different, but in the best way. We ordered the pork carnitas board, and it was AWESOME. Calling it "carnitas" almost doesn't do it justice because the pork reminded me more of a super meaty pork belly -- tender, flavorful, and there was a TON of it. There were four of us sharing, and we still had leftovers! The homemade blue corn tortillas were amazing, and I loved all the different sauces. They had that Asian-fusion flavor with a Latin spin that somehow just worked. And give me ALL the pickled veggies! The pickled slaw and vegetables added that perfect tangy crunch to the rich pork and really balanced everything out. The kimchi rice on the side was another fun touch and went perfectly with the whole meal. It's a small, laid-back spot, and there was a one-man band playing acoustic guitar and singing some great classic songs while we were there, which made the atmosphere even better. Nothing stuffy or overdone -- just relaxed, good food, good music, and a really enjoyable night. Definitely glad TikTok led us to this little hidden gem. I'm happy we tried it, and I would absolutely go back!

The atmosphere inside is relaxed yet sophisticated with an overwhelming feeling of being in on a secret no one else knows, so cool! We happened to come early enough in the day to where getting a table wasn't an issue but I would say make a reservation when coming as it is limited seating and absolutely worth it. I came with my husband and my bestie for some birthday cocktails and bites. We were actually lucky enough to have our Uber driver point out the door on the way in, I don't want to give away any secrets but keep an eye out for a door marked with the goose silhouette. It was very back-door, hush hush The cocktails were fantastic! The Clover Club was by far my favorite but everything we got was wonderful! I definitely recommend getting some bites while you're there too, we got the charcuterie board and it was plenty for the three of us. Nick took great care of us, making excellent recommendations throughout our visit but the star of the show was Miss Bella! She was so sweet right off the bat, welcoming us in and wishing me a very happy birthday! She very clearly takes a lot of personal pride in her customer care and it shows! Plus, her nails?? Gorgeous! We really had a great time and will definitely be back soon! Thank you The Goose for a wonderful birthday!

Now I realize that the 2026 was a Summer Olympics and Curling is part of the Winter Olympics, but we didn't care Upon entry to go to the host stand and tell them what you're looking to do (activities vs bar/waiting). The space is relatively open and you can immediately see the fully stocked bar, the bowling area, the back axe throwing lanes, and the enclosed curling lanes. We opted for a package that got us unlimited games (any) for an hour. We started with curling and we didn't need any special clothes or shoes. We were lead to a lane and it's set up like shuffleboard (you can stand on either side and there's two separate color stones). There's ice where you glide your stones and you stand on rubber for traction. You can glide by hand or use a piece of equipment that is essentially a stick to help push and guide your stone. There's an attendant on duty to help any stones that are stuck or that don't make it down the lane The experience was awesome. We've always wanted to try curling, but it's difficult to find somewhere that is set up to let you do that. We were amazed that we finally tried it in a desert of all places. There are no brushes like in typical curling, but you still get a sense of the Olympic activity. The bowling was fun too, but it's a smaller version like you might see in some novelty bars. Axe throwing was that of typical ax throwing. You had a couple different sizes of axes, there's lanes and you throw at a wooden target. They had computers to input your name and keep track of points. It was sometimes difficult to stick the wooden target, but it was fun We didn't try the food or drink, but everything looked good. The staff were very helpful. It was a weekend, and it wasn't overly crowded which was nice. Overall it was a fun experience Some tips: If your stones seem to be getting stuck down the lane, ask the attendant to move you to another lane. That's what we did and it made all the difference Explore the rest of bustling Old Town Scottsdale. There's literally something for everyone, and definitely check out the Frybread Lounge for some great Native American fusion cuisine Chee

I visited over the summer and forgo to write a review. This place was a genuine 10/10. From the…read moreservice, to the food, all the way to the experience. First off, this place is in a beautiful area. I was with 2 of my buddies but this place was the percect date night vibe. The scenary was very soft and "southern". It had that "aesthetic" vibe, great for pictures etc. The restaurant is one of a kind and beautiful inside. The booths are very comfortable. My server was extremely polite and attentive, along with knowledgeable. She didn't have the answer to one question I had, so like any good server, she found out immediately. The bus boy/ runner was also extremely attentive. Actively clearing plates and assisting my friends and I. I started off with the ceaser, which was delicious. We shared the meatballs, amazing. Along with the calamari and grilled octopus. Everything was fresh and was served to us quickly. We ordered a pizza to split, the margarita to be exact, and let me tell you it was life changing especially when you are a little buzzed. That may have enhanced my experience a little more. For my entree I chose the vodka pasta, it was one of the best meals I've had in my entire life. The only downside to this place is how pricy it can be, but like all nice places you have to be prepared to spend a lot. Despite that, I recommend this place to everyone. Come in a group if you can, its a fun time. Miss this place and love it!

We ordered martinis when we were first asked for drinks. After we got the martinis he told us about the whole Martini cart and menu, which I really we he would have led with that. We still ended up Ordering something with the martini cart but probably would have started with that if we had known. Other than that everything was perfect. Really cool space with a good sound system and lively atmosphere. It is a bit pricey but it is a fancy place in the W in Scottsdale.

Had the steak and frites and then had the butter cake that was good. Friends had the crème brûlée but they didn't like it. The main problem why it's not 4 is the service. A nice waitress with short cut hair was super slow. Drinks took forever and noticed the well with so many drinks sitting there for long periods of time. It was also hard to even see where she was to try and get her to help. There were also other little things like the food runners not knowing who had what didn't tell us what steaks were medium rare or medium so we had to ask and switch plates around but overall my rating is a 3.5 stars I sadly wouldn't come back but it has a lot of potential on being a long term establishment, goodluck!
