Good evening folks, tonight's dinner we will be celebrating a Birthday of a great friend Nichole,…read moreoh to be 25 again lol. This was our first time for us at Bourbon & Bones so hoping for a good experience, we didn't wait long to be seated and immediately our drink order was taken . It wasn't long and our dinner order was taken. We ordered several items and decided to share each so we could try a little of everything, our choices were perfect and everything was good. We all had a good time and would say the staff was very helpful and friendly with any questions we had, the Ambiance was very nice, the decor was nicely done as well, I will put this as one of my top 3 to go to for a nice evening out. Thanks Bourbon & Bones for a good evening out with friends.

Disappointing Anniversary Dinner - Expected More for the Price…read more My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here after getting recommendations from friends who spoke highly of the place. Since we're in the Gilbert area, we loved the idea of a great steakhouse without the drive to Scottsdale. We went in with high expectations -- we're no strangers to special occasion dining, so we knew what we were hoping for. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in almost every way. The ambience and service felt more like a polished chain restaurant than the upscale dining experience the prices suggest. For a $300-$400 dinner for two, you expect a certain level of attentiveness and flow -- and we just didn't get it. After our appetizers, we noticed we never received the pretzel bread everyone raves about. When I asked our waiter, he said they had just finished baking a fresh batch. When it arrived, it was cold -- so that clearly wasn't the case. We also had to flag our waiter down to take our entrée order, which shouldn't happen at this price point. My steak was fine -- just fine. My wife's fish was the same. Nothing memorable, nothing that made us feel like the bill was justified. By the end of the meal we were both ready to leave. Our waiter did offer a complimentary dessert for our anniversary, which was a nice gesture, but we were already checked out mentally and chose to go somewhere else to finish the evening on a better note. If you're in the East Valley looking for a truly special dinner, I'd honestly just make the drive to Mastro's Oceans Club or Steak 44.

We went here on Sunday to celebrate our daughter's birthday - 4 different families. It was the…read morelast game of the World Cup, so quite a few people here. My son had ordered food from here as takeout last year. The food taste was interesting, though, I really like the cheese dip for the pretzel bites. The bites were pretty big. Lots of tables at this location, a bit warm. But our party of 14 was easily accommodated. Our daughter chose this place and it was quite loud. My husband and I are quiet people, so if we were to choose again, probably not here because of the loudness and all the TVs all over the place. But for those who like it loud, TVs and do not mind the prices on the menu, have at it. I don't remember our server's name. If she told us, I couldn't hear what she said. She was alright. Honestly, I had a hard time hearing even my son who sat next to me, and hearing my sister who sat one seat over in front of me, I couldn't hear what she was saying. Loudness is an issue for me and I do not have hearing issues. Our bill with tip came to over $700+. That was the most expensive lunch we've ever spent for our party of 14. Typically we're in the $400-500 range. But it was a special occasion. My husband and son got the 36 hr ribs. My husband really loved them. My son said it was okay. I didn't ask my brother and BIL who also got the same dish. I know my BIL was unhappy that he didn't get the side he requested and when they gave it to him (asparagus, I think), it was cold and he wasn't pleased about this. I got the hub burger and it was okay. There was a lot on the burger, but the patty itself, didn't have that much flavor. Some of the "Starters" or appetizers things were salted too much, but the burger did not taste like it had any salt. I had eaten too many starters so when my food came, I wasn't very hungry and took most of it home and ate for dinner another night. My husband and son do not like coleslaw and I ate theirs. THIS I really liked and tasted much better than KFC. I loved the sweetness and that the cabbage was shredded bigger than KFC. The pretzel bites were good. We got wings, and they were so-so. The roasted brussel sprouts were too salty. The deviled eggs were okay, but pricey for 2.5 eggs, which I do pay at Trader Joe's for organic free range pasturized eggs I could've gotten over 2 dozens. But, yes, I pay for the service and ambiance. I really thought there would be more than 5 halves for the deviled eggs. We got the nachos and they were okay. The melted cheese sauce was the best part. My mom got the fish and chips and she seemed to pick at it. She didn't want to take home, so it must not have been that good because she almost always takes a doggy bag home. My sister had the salmon and it was in a huge bowl and didn't look to be that much food. It was pricey. One of my SILs got something I didn't recognize and she said it was okay. No one I could tell was over the moon with the taste of the food and I heard the word "interesting" quite a bit. It's not that it tasted bad, but it didn't really taste good good. You know what I mean? I did bring a special order cake I got at Nothing Bundt Cakes in Gilbert. I asked Culinary Dropout if we could borrow a cake cutter. They didn't have one. Weird. This was a Red Velvet cake and this was absolutely divine. It was moist. The frosting was some sort of yummy cream cheese frosting. The cake was perfectly sized for our party of 14. The cake was the best part of our meal and it didn't come from Culinary Dropout. I would pay this much for a meal at Roy's for lunch for this sized party, but alas, all the Roy's in the valley are closed down. So sad. I'm not saying this place is bad or the food tastes bad. It's okay and pricey. If the food was great or amazing, we don't mind pricey. We have paid over $1K for meals for our big party, and happily do so when the food is equivalent to the price.

My wife and I chose High Tide for a double date, but somehow we ended up dining in what felt like…read morethe restaurant version of the Twilight Zone. Things got weird immediately. We were seated and the hostess cheerfully informed us, "Just as a warning, the air conditioning is dripping on that part of the bench, so you'll probably want to scoot over." She disappeared before we could process the fact that "sit next to the indoor rainstorm" was apparently a normal seating option. My wife had to chase her down to ask the obvious question. "Could we maybe sit at a table that isn't leaking?" While she was gone, our server came over. I pointed to the puddle beside me and asked if we could move to the empty table in front of us. She looked puzzled and said, "No, that's where it's leaking." I pointed back to the puddle literally touching our table. We were apparently trapped in competing realities. Eventually the manager came over, and asking to move to a dry table was treated like a wildly unreasonable request. After a long pause she said, "I guess we could move you over there. Would that be okay?" My response was, "If it's dry, we'll take it." Unfortunately, the service never recovered. The nightly special was introduced with, "We have trout." That was the entire presentation. No description. No price. Just... trout. When it was time to order, we were greeted with a very enthusiastic, "What do you want?" The finale came when we asked for a box. The same manager returned with a tiny container and said, "I don't know if it'll fit. Do you think it will? I'm not good with Tupperware." I honestly thought Ashton Kutcher was about to jump out from behind a ficus. To top it all off, the portions were surprisingly small for the price, and charging $7 for bread felt like the final plot twist. I've had disappointing meals before. I've had mediocre service before. I've just never had an entire evening feel like everyone had been handed different copies of the script. Needless to say, I don't think we'll be back.

First time at Rodizio Grill. Food was fantastic! People were terrific. Ambiance (at lunch time)…read morewas good enough. There's a cold salad bar, a hot food bar, and meats delivered to your table. The variety on the cold salad bar was amazing! BLT, mozzarella, fruit, potato and standard romaine were just some of the salads offered, with a large amount of toppings available. The hot bar had Brazilian cheese bread, crispy polenta, beef stroganoff, bean stew, breakfast items and more! All was delicious. But don't get too distracted - the meat is the star. The meats were so very good! You choose what you want and the gaucho slices your portion table side. I asked for very small pieces so I could try everything. I believe I had 4 different beef preparations, 3 chicken and 3 pork (sausage, ham and loin). Such variety and deliciousness! And mustn't forget the grilled/glazed pineapple- I'd go back just for that! This place is not cheap, but I believe it's worth it (if you're hungry). We went for lunch which was lower priced than dinner, and I doubt we'll eat the rest of the day. My belly is full and my wallet is lighter, but my oh my am I happy!

I did not take any pictures, but we came in on a Sunday around 2PM for Brunch with friends…read more This was everyone's first time visiting. However, I had been in once before when they first opened up. All the staff were super friendly. It was relatively busy, but there was no wait to be seated. I will note that coming before 3PM is the best deal because it's only $36.99 per person for the Full Rodizio versus $49.99 per person after 3PM. Honestly, their salad / side bar has really good offerings. Even if you're not in the mood for meat, you can get some really good offerings from the salad / side bar. There is an option to skip the meat for a cheaper price. The food is all you can eat, which is nice! However, you better come hungry to get your moneys worth. I really like the concept of the place. The food was all very good, fresh, and high quality. The issue I have is that I feel like I can't possibly eat enough to get my money worth. So I would not come to this place often....

It's a little small, all the tables sit around the center bar, but it's well decorated and very elegant. Our party sat at the bar, and the service was friendly, prompt, professional. Everything you expect.. My favorite part was the steak which was actually very good; perfectly cooked, extremely tender and flavorful. The chimichurri was a wonderful surprise, most places sweeten it a little too much for me, not CHop, instead here it was spiced with a little bit of red chili pepper or serrano, I couldn't tell, but it was so good. I will definitely return!!

My husband and I looked over the link, and what caught our eye was how pricey it was. Still, we decided that we could splurge and give it a try. Before going, our son-in-law called them. Our plan was to have an early dinner on Monday. He was told to come on in, and no reservation was needed. When we arrived, we were greeted and seated quickly. We were given a booth that easily fit the six of us. After looking at the menu, we were ready to order. One of our grandsons and I ordered the 7 oz. filet. Each entree comes with one side. We both chose asparagus. Our son-in-law had a New York strip steak, and another grandson ordered the Argentinian skirt steak. The third grandson had a chicken dish. We were offered some bread, which we accepted. It was good and gave us something to snack on while our food was being prepared. We all enjoyed our meals. My husband, who also got a filet, had it topped with mushrooms sautéed in Madeira wine, and broccolini. He said, in hindsight, that he wished he hadn't ordered the mushrooms as they overpowered the flavor of the steak. We all got our steaks cooked medium rare. I must say that the filet was one of the best I've ever had! They dry-age their steaks on-site. The meat was very tender and had a great, robust flavor. Service was excellent -- attentive without being overbearing. As for ambiance, the dining room was on the dimly lit side, and the decor says "upscale steakhouse." All in all, we're glad we went, and when we're in town next time, should our grandsons want to go, we will head there.

The worst thing i can say is come early if you plan to eat in. There are several tables plus booths…read morethat could seat 8 but the crowd we found took almost all the tables. We scored a booth for our 6 and had plenty of space. The burgers are burgers, cooked well and they have a variety of combinations to make everyone happy. 1 ordered a salad and one a chicken sandwich, the remainder of us ordered burgers. Mine was the Spencer with onions ring and jalapenos. The patties seemed smash style. The chicken was pounded out thin as well. The brioche bun tops off their sandwiches. Service was fast enough that we were not waiting long. One odd point they brought out the food as it was ready. It was hot but no more than 2 dishes arrived at the same time. I did enjoy the experience and will be back. Prices for the items was reasonable. One exception might be the tomato and lettuce you pay extra for.

During my recent visit, I decided to try their chicken sandwich and a side of onion rings, and I am so glad that I did. Both items were completely delicious and exceeded my expectations. The chicken sandwich was the star of the show. It was cooked to absolute perfection, featuring a beautifully crispy and golden exterior that gave way to incredibly tender and juicy meat on the inside. Every single bite was packed with flavor. To accompany the sandwich, the onion rings were equally impressive. They were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of crunch, avoiding that greasy feel you sometimes get elsewhere. I would highly recommend ordering them as your side. Beyond the amazing food, this spot offers a truly great value for your dollar. The portion sizes and the quality of the ingredients make the price more than worth it. As for the atmosphere, the dining room is just a little bit on the loud side, so it might not be the best place for a quiet, intimate conversation. However, the outstanding service completely makes up for the noise. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick. I know that I would definitely love to go back there again very soon!

We came here for a birthday celebration and specifically wanted somewhere that offered bottomless…read moremimosas and margaritas. We had a pretty large party, so we expected there might be a few hiccups, but overall we had a good experience. The restaurant was clean, and they were able to accommodate our group by seating us in a booth and adding tables. All of our food came out hot and tasted good. One thing we didn't love was how the food was handed out. Instead of placing the plates in front of each person, they were passed across the table. One of the plates was extremely hot and ended up burning my friend's hand. When we mentioned it, the response was basically, "Oop, yeah, it's hot. I have a napkin, so it's not hot for me." We definitely felt like there should have been a warning before handing over a plate that hot. On the positive side, Joslyn was our server and she was very kind. She did her best to take care of our table, especially considering she was the only server handling our party of 13. She even brought out birthday shots for everyone, which was a really nice touch! Overall, I enjoy coming here. The food is good, the restaurant is clean, and there aren't a ton of places in Gilbert that offer bottomless mimosas and margaritas. I actually came back the following day and did bottomless again. That time, I sat at the bar and the bartenders were great and very attentive. It's also typically not too busy, which makes it easy to get seated pretty quickly. Despite the hiccup with the hot plate, I've had good experiences here and would come back again.

There are few times that I've gone to a restaurant to where I felt like just getting up and…read moreleaving. Last night was one of those times. And despite going here multiple times in the past couple years, last night was probably my last. Let's start from the top. Hostess: We arrive around 6pm. Sun was kind of still out, but starting to get dark. It was lovely outside so we asked to be seated outside. We told hostess that we were a party of 7. There was a party behind us who were clearly not with us (would have made us a party of 12) and they just seemed kind of confused. Seating: The weather was nice so we wanted to sit outside. It was starting to get dark and the lights on the patio were off. I get it if we were the first people out there but there was another table out there and it was getting dark. Wouldn't you notice that maybe you should turn on the lights? We were literally reading menus with the street light. We had to ask them to turn on the lights. Prior to the lighting fiasco there were all sorts of issues with the tables. One of our tables was wobbling like a top. Another table was seemingly unattached to the legs as the top flipped up like it wasn't attached to the legs. What is going on with the tables out there? Attentiveness: We got seated and it took a long time for them to come and even take a drink order. Like 5mins. Then another 5-7mins for the beer to come. Then we had to ask if they still had complimentary chips. So we didn't really have chips and beers until 15mins after being seated. And throughout the experience it was just very sparse - like you'd order something and it would come 5mins later. At one point I told the adults that if we didn't have kids then I would have just stood up and bounced. And I say this as someone who is very laid back - I'll even eat food that was improperly made because why get upset about it? But in this case, I just felt like we were invisible and had to ask for everything. Entertainment: This is nitpicking, but out of all the games on, not a single TV had the Diamondbacks on. Why? Beer: No Coors on tap, fine. Got an Ultra. Beers take 5mins to come out. Come out in mugs that are basically room temperature. I don't require my mugs to have literal frost on them, but I do expect my mug to not be feeling like it is basically warm. To add to insult, the beer was also not very cold either. If either the beer or mug was frosty then I would have probably been fine because at least something was cold. I can say this... if they had served us Coors in the cans - the mountains would have NOT been blue for more than 2mins. Food: We've been going to Salt for a while (multiple years, at least) and we feel like they've been constantly changing the menu. There used to be numerous [obviously] vegetarian options but this time all those were gone. The vegetarian tried to order a simple bean burrito and was told that the only bean burrito they make is on the kids menu. OK, so make a bigger one or something? Aside from that food overall was decent. One of the adults in our party felt that the meat was skimped on. Conclusion: When we were deciding where to eat that night I suggested Salt and the other husband was all happy. Even his Mexican wife (who is picky about Mexican food) was amendable to Salt. Of all the times we've gone in the past as just my family it has been terrific - loved the chips, salsa, margarita flights, food, people watching, and atmosphere. The wife and I have done date nights here and gone with groups. And I hate to say it though, I probably will not be back again after last night's experience. And if you look at some of the more recent reviews... you'll notice multiple other people noticing a decline as well...
