Such a wonderful experience from start to finish! I sat at the bar and was immediately greeted by…read morethe bartender, who walked me through the specials and drink menu. I had several questions about the cocktails, and he was so helpful in guiding me toward the Hemingway's Muse -- which was absolutely delicious. Not too sweet, perfectly balanced, and exactly what I was hoping for. For dinner, I went with his recommendation of the steak box tots and OMG... so good! The steak was cooked perfectly, and the box tots were these amazing little mashed potato bites with a crispy outside. Absolute perfection. I rarely order dessert, but at this point I trusted his recommendations, so I tried the ricotta lemon stack. Again -- superb. It was definitely more lemon-forward than I expected, but the presentation was beautiful and the flavors were delightful. Even the bathroom was impressive -- such thoughtful little touches, including flossers! The service, food, drinks, and attention to detail made the whole experience feel special. I highly recommend this quaint little spot and already can't wait to go back!

This was my second time here and if I were basing my review on just the first experience, I would…read moregive the establishment 4 stars, but this visit there was a disappointment in a dish and it was handled very poorly by the manager. I will start by saying it's a shame because this place has real potential! The crafted cocktails are the highlight as they are beautiful, original, and tasty. The food is good for the most part, but some items are overpriced. An example is the bisque cheesecake at $15 as it was on the small side, round about the size of a flan. It was presented nicely w berries, but not worth $15. I am from CA and not even there! The main issue I had was with the ricotta, pesto and tomato jam jar. This was more like pesto, with Ricotta. The Ricotta being listed first by any culinary standard should be the main feature. But the tapered dish had a small amount of ricotta at the bottom, about a fourth, then half the jar full of pesto, then top fourth of tomatoes.(see picture). I couldn't even dig down to get the ricotta and the huge amount of pesto was overpowering. I politely brought this to the waitresses attention by kindly saying I wanted to give some feedback and explained the expectation and that there was very little ricotta and hard to get to it. She handed me a spoon and a plate and I tried in front of her to get to it and said that's not working. She did say she would give the feedback to "them", but did not offer to replace it or fix it. Perhaps offering to bring more ricotta? For the rest of the evening she did not address the situation and I only ate two small bites and sent the entire dish back. At the end of the meal when I saw this was added to my bill, which I should add was $84 plus tip, over $100, w ricotta being $18 for just me not including the other two at the table, I asked if anything could be done about the ricotta dish that I did not eat. She said she would ask, but came back and said her manager said no because this was just my preference!! I felt sorry for the waitress. If the wait staff is not empowered to resolve these issues on their own then the manager should have come to the table! I said okay, paid the bill and left. They lost a repeat customer!! **Contrary to what management stated below, no accommodation was offered or made besides handing me a spoon and a plate. Also, the promise to discuss w mgmt was not followed up on until I received the bill and reminded the waitress which felt like avoidance, 1.5 hours after I sent the dish back. Perhaps there is a communication breakdown or misunderstanding, but my issue was the excessive amount of pesto (a sauce) and small amount of ricotta. Management prefers to argue and defend (without the facts) vs find a solution and humbly accept feedback. I am a manager myself in the luxury market...and customer feedback is at the heart of growth.

Many of our Phoenix friends have recommended this place and we're glad we listened to them. We…read morestopped by a couple weeks ago and had a wonderful first experience. Nice wine selections, delicious bites, and friendly/helpful staff. They offer several wine tasting flights (3-2 oz. pours for $19), as well as by the glass or bottle. There are also several non-alcoholic options, as I was unable to imbibe on this visit. WINE & FOOD: My wife tried three different tasting flights, the Diamond (white wines), the Ruby (red wines), and the Amber (dessert wines). My mother-in-law had a glass of the Moscato D'Asti from Piedmonte, Italy ($13), and I had a non-alcoholic Copenhagen Sparkling Tea ($14) and a Diet Coke ($4). We also tried their Spinach & Artichoke Dip ($15) and the Italian Meatballs ($19) and finished it off with the Lemon Berry Mascarpone Cake ($13). Everything was delicious and all selections were perfect for the wine flights we paired them with. Bottle prices were reasonable, and we left with all three of the dessert wines, and a bottle of the Arneis. NOTE: I heard that the Turquoise Wine Bar Glendale has recently been awarded Wine Spectator's 2026 "Award of Excellence". Whether you live in the Phoenix area or are visiting from out of town, I highly recommend that you check this place out.

Everyone else chooses the barstools and hightop tables or the patio. We were only outside once, when my ankle was broken and it was tough to get around. But, I digress. Maybe the cozying adds to the delight of our foodie experience at Sip. We don't drink but they make a lovely Shirley Temple that compliments all that chef-made goodness. Her menu is always shifting and we love the creativity. One of the mainstays, though, is the meatball appetizer. The beef is tender and flavorful and the homemade marinara as complimented by a perfect cheese pull. We'll get that and one other item - a charcuterie board, bread and/or veggies and a dip, or some other interesting app. Sometimes we get a salad, but order dressing on the side because we like it light. As lovely as Sip is, I don't know if people are impractical or enamored enough to drive a half hour up a mountain to enjoy that tiny establishment. So, it feels like a happy place to be around locals. Estrella is growing but not so much that we've ever felt crowded out at Sip. It's homey and warm and a relaxing place to feel at home, on our special couch. Please don't sit at our couch. lol

I ended up hanging out a little while after the event ended and got a chance to try a couple of their wines on tap. I love that they have a self serve system, but still the attentiveness of the servers. Will be back to continue to support as Bacchus has a wonderful and chill vibe!

Lattes were just alright and just coffee. Food: chicken and waffles seemed to be the most enjoyed thing for one of the girls got! And two enjoyed her Benedict's. -The hash browns and eggs on my skillet were flavorful, however the steak was overcooked and had zero seasoning. -Chilaquiles was sweet and not a favorite.

Cute place, family owned, and definitely would come back for the drinks I got and maybe to try dinner instead. I personally think the brunch menu should be smaller with a larger emphasis of Italian Brunch items. That may allow for a better focus on flavor and dishes to be stronger.

We went during the week, so I can't attest to whether it gets crowded or not on the weekends; but we were able to sit immediately and for an afternoon weekday it was rather packed. The young server was really helpful with recommendations. Our table ordered the Smoked Wings (dry rub and hot honey), onion rings, fries, side salad, brisket dinner, and the Blue Berry Mule. Everything was delicious!!! I'm not a soul had a complaint. I'd definitely recommended this spot. My only concern is that for a restaurant that size, there's only one bathroom and there are some booths right next to it (I wouldn't want to sit there).
