    I came here for my anniversary. First off the atmosphere was really nice, it felt you you were in a restaurant from the 1920s. Our server Sky was on top of everything and she made recommendations of what works with what every dish, and described everything to us perfectly. The drinks were all delicious and strong. We both ordered the sirloin and the steaks were really flavorful and cooked perfectly. The sides and the chopped salad were perfect seasoned and delicious as well. They also gave us a complimentary glasses of champagne after dinner.

    Ribeye and béarnaise sauce. Amazing.

    This is now my favorite steakhouse. It is elegant and with wonderful service as expected from a steakhouse. The ribeye was outstanding. I did a regular ribeye medium with béarnaise sauce, and it was perfection. The béarnaise sauce was phenomenal. The hamachi was delicious. The brussell sprouts were good but better the next day as leftovers. The wine list is good. I always drink a can with my steak, and I went with what my sister was drinking, so I don't know what I had which is unlike me but I trusted they had nice wine to pair and they did. It was served at perfect temperature as expected. My sister had the petit filet and loved it. We plan to return. I will again order the ribeye.

    The ambience is fun and cool with the dark speakeasy character. The staff is amazing. Our service was the perfect blend of attention to every detail without being overbearing. We enjoyed all the dishes that we had. Don't miss the potato dinner rolls or the Yorkshire pudding. of course, all the steaks were grilled to perfection.

    The Cleaverman is a really nice establishment. I have only been to the bar area on both occasions but each time I'm really impressed by the overall ambience and quality of food choices. On the first time that we ended up at this location, it was kind of Luke. We sat at the bar enjoyed happy hour and that was a nice treat. The prices are extraordinarily affordable, but I believe it's only for one hour at the beginning of opening up the establishment. On this occasion, we just had drinks, but we were so impressed with the quality of them and the service. We decided to come back and try it again. On our next occasion, we sat at the bar also, but we tried some appetizers. For this time it wasn't happy hour, and the drinks were a lot more pricey, but overall the quality was still there. For appetizers, we got the Wagyu meatballs, the duck fries, and crabcake. The crabcake was so delicious and tasty but you only get one and the price is high...high...high Anyway, I definitely wanna come back and actually get a reservation and have a dinner at this steakhouse. Was really nice about is that they do have a fresh meat display so you can see all the current cuts and what they're looking like. In addition, my understanding is they have a beef Omakase and what you basically get to try several sample sizes of meat all beef. So I thought that was kind of cool my understanding that that is not every night you must have reservations and it's a cost of pretty penny. I will come back here, it's likely gonna be a special occasion. Would love to try some of the desserts as they did have a Dubai chocolate parfait that looked divine. For this location, remember it is attached to the Arizona center, so if you do in a parking in the garage, make sure to bring in your ticket. This establishment does validate for up to two hours for parking at the Arizona center garage.

    First, the ambiance of this place is top notch. The moment you enter and walk down the small hallway that is draped in brown velvet, the atmosphere is set. With velvet booths in the bar, leather booths in the main dining area and golf and wood everywhere, the place feels quite upscale. Our server came promptly and was fairly attentive throughout the evening. There is a buzz of staff so around, so our water was constantly being topped off and empty plates were cleared right away. I ordered my usual amaretto sour, and it was delicious. The egg white foam had a little feather drawn on it. Hubby ordered a Heineken on draft, but they were out and he had to have it in a bottle. He was disappointed, but it was okay. We started with the French onion meatballs with crostini and the colossal shrimp cocktail. If you know me, you know I'm weird about onions, but I did that the French onion meatballs, and they were good. The shrimp in my cocktail were HUGE. You get 2 of them, but each one was like 5 bites each. We each ordered the 8 oz NY Strip with mashed potatoes and charred broccolini. I love charred broccolini, and I loved this one! The steaks were cooked perfectly. For dessert we shared a chocolate fudge cake with raspberry sorbet. Delish!!!! This place is a great date night restaurant, and we saw several large parties celebrating occasions. It also looks like a great place to sit at the bar and have a cocktail.

    This meal was so good! Started with the Wagyu carpaccio and the escargot and both were fantastic! I had the fancy girl cocktail and it was really good. It was a little small but so tasty. then for my main I had the fillet and I loved it with the Bernaise sauce! My mom had some issues with her prime rib, but that was partially on her and even still the restaurant really made sure that she got something that she liked. Noah was our server and he was fantastic! The overall vibe in the hair is really swanky and cool. It's definitely on the pricey side but if you're celebrating or have a special occasion, I think it's worth it.

    If you are just getting drinks, make sure you sit at the bar and ask for Alec. Your entire night will be set on the right vibe. I got the person of interest and this drink is delicious, sweet, refreshing, a little dangerous. My mom loved her martini and the fancy girl has a nice kick with the yuzu. We got to check out the martini lounge in the bad, playing live piano. We will definitely be back for dinner. You must have a reservation

    First experience wasn't so great on their opening night, but last night they redeemed their selves. I had their perfect martini with their house made brine. Delicious. My friend and I shared the golden oysters with beef marrow, the crab Louis salad, and the beef tartare. All were amazing. The best marrow I've tasted to date. Very old school vibes I love it! The bar was busy, so it took a bit to get our orders in, but my friend and I were busy catching up so we didn't mind.

    Really nice place unique makes me feel like the roaring 20s on the decor set at the bar and had dinner. It was a great vibe. The bartenders were very attentive and the drinks were really good as well. The place was packed so you definitely should get your reservation before trying to come. I would definitely go back here for those meatballs. They were incredible and the lobster Wellington was very very good as well.

    Came here on a whim on a Saturday night with my husband before a comedy show because I was craving a really good martini. I started with the house brine martini (vodka), and honestly, it wasn't my favorite, the onion flavor was a bit overpowering. The brine is supposed to be pepperoncini, olive, and pickle, but it didn't quite hit the balance I was hoping for. We also ordered the bread, which I think would've been much better served warm. It came out a little cold, and the topping leaned a bit too heavily on bacon bits for my taste. For starters, we had oysters on the half shell half West Coast, half East Coast. As a West Coast girly, those were my favorite! Super fresh huge,and absolutely delicious. Dinner, though, was the highlight. We ordered the A5 Australian Wagyu filet and added a caviar-topped lobster tail, and both were phenomenal. Everything was cooked perfectly and felt like a true treat. We also tried the mashed potatoes, which unfortunately were a bit gluey and overmixed. I gave the martini another shot with a classic olive brine vodka version, but it still didn't wow me. Overall, we had a good experience. The staff was great, and I'd definitely come back just skipping the martinis and bread next time.

    Shrimp ceviche and lavosh
    Raquel A.

    I have the best bosses! For lunch on Admin Professionals Day, they took me to Cleaverman. And it was so good! We tried so many dishes! There were definitely some standouts. Let's start with dessert. We tried both the cheesecake and the chocolate cake. Please don't make me choose a favorite because I really can't. Both were amazing - so full of flavor. Ok, back to the beginning. The Oysters! We had both east coast and west coast. I hate to say it being from New England, but I liked the West Coast best. East was good, but west were just a little better. Being from New England, we had to try the lobster roll. It was decent, but IMO, too many additions. I prefer my lobster roll without all the fancy accessories. All I need is a whole lot lobster, a little mayo or butter and a nice toasty roll. The French Onion Meatballs were unique, but absolutely delicious. Another favorite was the shrimp ceviche. The addition of the horseradish was unexpected but really worked well with the shrimp. Check my photos to see everything we tried. All of it was so good! And our server did a great job of spacing out the dishes so we didn't get everything at once. As for the decor and atmosphere, the place gave me old school vibes - from the half-moon banquettes to the floor to ceiling gold curtains. It was classy and beautiful, like something from the Rat Pack era. I loved it!

    I have been dying to try this place and see what Pretty Decent Concepts newest addition was like. I'd say they hit it on the head with this one. I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday, and the restaurant decor is absolutely impeccable. When you first walk in down the long hallway and then it opens up to a old school steakhouse it really sets the tone. As for food, we got the baked potato bread, the oysters with bone marrow, and then shared the bone in dry aged ribeye. Bread was amazing and so funny how it tasted exactly like a baked potato. The oysters were our favorite and the bone marrow was cooked to perfection. As for the steak, it was cooked perfectly - I would say maybe a tad bit under seasoned though. Drinks were great and service was top notch. Our server even squeezed us in to check out Filthy Martini!

    Super nice upscale restaurant with nice service. We attended a group birthday party dinner with a set menu and were surprised at the group rate of $175 per person. They definitely upcharge for a larger group. I know it's supposed to include the appetizers, the sides, and the dessert, but you don't get that much as it's all shared, and for my entree I ordered the chicken, which is normally $38 on the menu, so to pay $175 was pretty steep in my opinion. They also charged us all for the still water, which I thought was crazy! I didn't think there was an upcharge on still/flat water unless you were ordering sparkling water. Overall, the food was good, and the service was nice just super slow. We were there almost 4 hours.! The ambience and vibe was perfect for the birthday celebration we were attending.

I remember touring the administrative offices, the dining hall, the classrooms, the residence halls, and other random buildings, but the most memorable stop was The Pub, which was rooted in much Thunderbird tradition. Now, years later with a new building in place at ASU, I was delighted to learn that The Pub still exists but in a new space (on the fifth floor). I recently stopped by to see what it looked like and try one of their dishes. In the spirit of Thunderbird, at The Pub, it is said that "global flavors and local charm come together to create an unforgettable dining experience." This is a great place for a meal with co-workers, hosting a gathering for a special celebration, or having a low-key meal. I took a book and gave it a try on my own. The sides include chicken wings, chicken tenders, hummus snack plate, or various ways to prepare fries. They have soup, salad, flatbread, entree bowls, and many burgers and sandwiches. They also have all sorts of drink options (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). It was national root beer float day (or something of the sort), so every burger came with a free root beer float. I jumped at that and got the Thunderbird Pub Burger (seasoned 6oz all beef patty, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, American Cheese, signature pub sauce Brioche Bun, served with Crispy French Fries). It was delicious!! In fact, it was better than delicious when paired with a free root beer float! They have regular hours of noon to 5 PM on weekdays (though they are open until 9 PM on Thursdays. They do have seasonal hours when they close early or entirely when classes are not in session. Happy hour specials are from 3-5 PM daily. While there are many great places to eat at ASU, I certainly recommend The Pub at Thunderbird.

One of the highlights was chatting with Dan, who has been bartending for eight years. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions about the brewing process and the brewery itself. It's clear he enjoys what he does and takes pride in sharing information with customers. I also learned that the brewery was founded by Megan Greenwood, and it's impressive to see how her vision has grown into a well-known local brewery. The brewing operation includes seven tanks, giving visitors a glimpse into the production side of the business. For anyone interested in seeing more behind the scenes, Greenwood Brewing does offer brewery tours. There isn't a set tour schedule, so it's best to ask staff about availability when you visit. One feature I thought was especially cool was the live Instagram follower counter displayed behind the bar. Watching the number update in real time was a fun and unique touch that added to the brewery's modern, community-focused atmosphere. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was engaging, and it was fun getting a closer look at the brewing process while enjoying quality craft beer. A great stop for both locals and visitors looking to support a Phoenix- Women owned brewery. The vibes are chill & semi-loud with music playing in the background. They have seating on both sides of the brewery, outside seating & local restaurants QR codes to order food from. IG: greenwood Brewing
