    Absolutely loved the vibes and service and drinks. This rooftop bar is so romantic! The only thing I didn't like was the food portion sizes but there is another restaurant downstairs that does serve a more variety of food. I came here to celebrate my birthday and the views and vibes did not disappoint. There are plenty of fire pits and open seating but I do recommend making a reservation in advance to get a good view.

    Awww cute for my birthday

    The menu really needs to accessible when clicking on the link straight from the hotel restaurant menu page. Looking at the yummy food from yelp I will have to tell you some disappointing news.....its not there. There are no sliders with fries or birria empanadas. That was what I was looking forward to the most. Their menu is super condensed and the food choices are not appealing. The patio is gorgeous and the cocktails are great. But I went to the restaurant downstairs instead for food. Loved my birthday treat but other than that...it wasn't what I thought it would be like. Our server was great though.

    This was a very cute rooftop bar experience! After taking the elevator in the Omni hotel to the 16th floor, you'll be greeted by a great view of the surrounding Tempe and ASU campus. There's lots of lights and opportunities for great photos. We didn't get any food, as it was a little pricier for our liking and the menu didn't come with a great deal of options. We got a simple Riesling wine and raspberry lemon drop. My Riesling was very classic and sweet-tasting, while the raspberry lemon drop drink had a heavy citrus flavor. Our waiter was very kind and offered many times to take photos of us, which was greatly appreciated! Overall, a nice place to celebrate or spend the night if you're in the market for drinks or specific items on their menu.

    While visiting our friends in Tempe, Arizona, they took us to Lucero for dinner. This rooftop bar is located on top of the Omni hotel, with a commanding view of downtown Tempe. We took the elevator up to the restaurant and the door opened up to this lovely space with a great atmosphere. There is a large dining room with a long bar, with floor to ceiling glass windows. To the right is an outside patio with dining tables. Because it was a warm day, we opted to dine inside. Because we had a big lunch earlier that day, we decided to snack and have drinks. We ordered the Short Rib Croquettes (chimichurri aioli, pickled fresno pepper), the Wagyu Tacos (grilled wagyu, jalapeño rémoulade, salsa molcajete, pickled onion, house blue corn tortillas), the Birria Empanadas (short rib, birria, queso asadero, cilantro, onion, birria consommé) and the Scallop Ceviche (citrus-cured scallops, avocado mousse, strawberry pico, jalapeño, cilantro oil, broken tostadas). All of the dishes were plated well, and the flavors were very good. The puffy chips that came with the Scallop Ceviche were adorable and tasty. Of course, they had bubbles but they were by the split, which is fine with me...bubbles is bubbles, no matter the size of the bottle. The staff was nice and attentive. We didn't do dessert, but got additional drinks and walked over to stare out the window and chat. Before I go, what was the coolest thing about the whole experience? Despite the great food with the amazing flavors, the menus were crazy nice! They were backlit with a light so you could actually read them in the dimly lit restaurant. That was so cool as I didn't have to pull out my phone to see what I was ordering. Overall, Lucero was a cool dining experience. Next time we go, I want to try the burger as our friends said it was very good and I trust them.

    Hubby and I celebrated our first anniversary here at Lucero! The view is spectacular you get a great view of Tempe with the city lights sparkling all around. I'm so glad he chose this restaurant, because the staff made our anniversary night feel so very special. They surprised us with complementary champagne and a dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was delicious and we enjoyed everything we tried, although I will say we were left a little hungry afterward. Still it was a wonderful experience and we want to come back soon.

    We were in the area, dropping off my daughter for another semester at ASU so I decided to book us a room at Omni hotel. This restaurant is located in the top of the roof of the hotel. We didn't make reservation, since we were just stopping by for a drink & appetizers. I thought we would sit at the bar, but we ended up getting a table after all. We decided on an outdoor table & glad we did the view was amazing. The staff were great, the appetizers were good and the cocktails were great and strong. We had the zodiac antipasto board, truffle fries, the raspberry lemon drop cocktail, and the strawberry lychee gimlet cocktail. I highly recommend this spot for a girls night out or just a Friday evening to wind down and relax. Or simply a special occasion and a date night. The vibes were amazing. I will definitely be visiting again.

    The rooftop bar is located in the Omni Hotel and the views offered are great. We came during the evening and were very surprised to find it pretty slow on a Friday night. Initially, we planned to sit outside, but a bit too nippy and then realized the firepits were RSVP so we returned inside. Lightup menus are cool, but they died before we could actually place an order. We looked funny I'm sure tapping and looking around for the light on them... no, they just died... haha. Decided to do only cocktails. Margarita & Vodka Martini... Both were good and as expected, the price tag was much more than our previous stops... Decor and ambiance are exceptional. Planning to return again with the hopes that the vibe is up and kicking but with friends. I wouldn't recommend it as your only drinking spot as it will get expensive with the quickness... and this is Tempe, not Vegas so plan accordingly.

    I have been wanting to come here for quite some time. I remember seeing a post on Instagram when it first opened, and it's taken me a while to get here. This really is a lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere. When you get off the elevator on the 16th floor you are at the entrance to this rooftop bar and restaurant. There is a large dining room with a long bar, and an outside patio with dining tables and fire tables. It's surrounded by glass, so even though the roof is open, it's very safe. There were string lights and pine Garland and a really pretty Christmas tree next to the bar. Not sure how it's lit up when it's not holidays. Our server was very nice and very helpful. I love mezcal, but I know many people do not like it. When I ordered my drink, the watermelon sunset, he made sure to ask if I had had mezcal before. By the way, the menus are lit from behind. It's like a book made of two tablets. My cocktail, the Watermelon Sunset, was fantastic--very spicy with jalapenos floating on top - - but so good. Hubs ordered the Lucero burger, a half pound burger a veal and short rib topped with bacon jam. It was quite large, and he liked it a lot. I had the lobster and chorizo fundido, which came in a little crock and was served with a side of blue corn tortillas, pico de gallo, and cheese. You just made up your own tacos by spreading the lobster and chorizo mix on your tortilla. It was luscious with large chunks of lobster. I really liked it. This place has so much going for it. The view of Mill Avenue at night, The rows of fire tables surrounded by low sofas, the great service, and the delicious food and cocktails.

    This rooftop bar is located on top of the Omni hotel and is open to anyone, even if you're not staying at the hotel! When you get off the elevator, you can order drinks and food at the bar. One thing that was SO COOL was that their menus light up!! I ordered the elderflower mojito and it was very tasty and good quality. After ordering, we walked to the outdoor patio and took in the views of the city. Because this bar is on the rooftop, you can see pretty far and it's very pretty to see the city at night! The lighting on the patio was cute, and they have heaters and fireplaces for if you get cold. The bartenders were nice, and I enjoyed getting to walk through the hotel on the way to and from the bar to see the festive Christmas decorations.

    First time here last night and I can't wait to return. Had an amazing date night with my wife here. The service was wonderful, the tapas and drinks were delicious, and the views were spectacular! I had flowers delivered for my wife and the staff was so accommodating and helped me pull off a sweet surprise for my wife. They kept in constant communication with me and fulfilled my every request. I highly recommend you catch the sunset here it's absolutely stunning. The venue is gorgeous and seats are perfectly spaced so you're not unwillingly overhearing the next table's conversation. We were seated outside but I believe you'd have amazing views whether seated outside or inside. Every single dish was delectable. They're tapas so they're smaller plates so I recommend getting 2 - 3 dishes per person. Had a wonderful experience and would recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal and stunning skyline views.

    Lucero skyline view.

    Lucero was amazing! The delicious and unique small plates, cocktails of your choice, beautiful skyline and attentive staff. I can't wait till we can visit again.

    Fries (not great)

    The 4 stars are mostly for the ambiance and the view. You can't really see the sunset from the outdoor seating areas which was disappointing. However, you can't go over to the glass railings to take some photos with the city scape. We came here with a couple of friends and had a nice time catching up and having food together. We got the Wagyu tacos (only 2 with no side), and the burger (no side) and fries added as a side. The burger was the best item, hands down. It was cooked really well and it was a nice patty size. The wagyu was too tough. I wouldn't recommend it, especially for 2 small tacos for the price. The fries weren't anything special unfortunately and I wouldn't get them again. What our friends ordered looked really good and their drinks looked delicious as well. I would come here for the view again but I'd pass on the wagyu next time.

    Caesar salad- ask for it chopped and add chicken

    Best view in town!!!! I will start out by saying everything we ate was delicious!!!!! The flavors of the food and drinks were outstanding. Why 4 stars-- because portions are small and it's expensive!! And thankfully someone who was staying at the hotel was in the elevator with us because we couldn't get up the elevator without a room key. They should probably fix that. The hostess, Tara, was adorable and our server Anthony, was great.

On top of that, the service was incredible. The main host, chef? Idk, but either way, he educated us on every dish, was clever and witty, and made us feel so comfortable. It's a very intimate setting, cozy, and feels like a romantic or chill evening. I felt so satisfied after this visit in every way and I can't wait to go back!

My husband and I came here for lunch on Valentine's Day and it was fantastic! We were seated outside on the patio, it was lovely as the weather was perfect. They had many plants and trees including a lemon and grapefruit tree! We ordered a variety dishes to share like the beef tartare with squid ink milk bread, Japanese sweet potato, Spanish octopus, golden beets and roasted cauliflower. I was impressed with everything. You can taste the quality in each ingredient and I appreciate that. My husband and I agreed that the Spanish octopus was our favorite dish. It was the best octopus I've had in a while, the char flavor and slight crisp was amazing. We enjoyed the creamy sauce, artichokes, and other veggies that came with this dish. The cauliflower and golden beets were incredible too. The chef told us that the Japanese sweet potato was one of the popular dishes, but out of everything we ordered, it was surprisingly my least favorite. It was still good but everything else tasted better to me. Pa'La is a bit pricey but the quality makes up for it. I would recommend this place for people who are visiting or for a date night!

The weather was perfect and we were seated in the beautiful patio where we can hear the music and see the live flamenco dancers. Then..... it all went downhill from there!

Once we were assigned a server, the service was rushed and hurried. Very transactional and not welcoming at all. The food was mediocre. The octopus was tough and rubbery. The peace and quiet of our patio table was quickly destroyed by a large bachelorette party that was seated right next to us. We had Amazing experiences (yes, multiple) at this place in the past and I wanted to be fair to the restaurant so I sent them a message via Open Table to let them know how disappointed we were.

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.

Excellent service, a Christmas tree upstairs, and no reservations required. Glad they were able to seat us considering we showed up without reservations. Downstairs gets quickly reserved so seats upstairs are where they push overflow patrons. Right outside Flint's doors downstairs there is a staircase which opens up to the upstairs dining area. Service was prompt, and we got our drinks by the time we had our mains decided. I got a glass of red to pair with my steak. My partner had a refreshing cocktail, but it was decent. The highlights of the night were the food. SO MUCH FOOD! And it was TERRIFIC! For starters we got the artichoke hummus. It sounded a bit weird, but all it was was regular hummus with 4 artichoke hearts that were crispy. The artichoke hearts were crisp, but moist, and I could have kept eating those all day. It comes with 1 pita bread. The server told us to order another and we did, turns out we needed it as the pita breads were quite small ($3 +). Sure only 3 bucks, but nickel and dime if you are spending $14 on an app... For mains I got the filet medium rare with a side of regular potatoes. My partner got the salmon skewer with a side of asparagus. Both the dishes were cooked perfectly and they were familiar dishes with a slightly exotic touch to it. Must be the middle eastern part of the restaurant. The steak came with a ganache or accompaniments of middle eastern sides. Can't recall what they were but they were great when I dipped my potatoes in them. It was sour, tart, acidic, kind of like middle eastern soy sauce. The server recommended it to us and we got it. The salmon skewer came with 5 decent sized pieces on it. Great for a small eater or someone who doesn't want their own meal. It too was delicious and had light touches of sauce or smoke on it. The asparagus is a favorite. It was cooked as usual, typical steak side and both me and my partner enjoyed it! For dessert, as it was my partners birthday the server comped the pound cake. While it was delicious, it was definitely the letdown of the meal. It was way too sweet including the layer of cream that it was doused with. The sweat cream wasn't necessary as the pound cake was incredibly sweet itself. Also, the pound cake wasn't soft like normal cake. It was quite dry once you peeled away the creme layer up top. I definitely should have gone with the Chocolate Ganache Tart. But their mess up worked in their favor. I'm definitely coming back for another meal at Flint!
