For food, I had the Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with cheese and fries, and also tried the Vybe-rita. The food was just okay in my opinion; nothing particularly stood out. I would come back for the drinks and the environment, but the food didn't quite hit the mark for me this time. They also a very cool and fun karaoke experience in private rooms that I highly recommend for a good time out.

Visited the Forum Lounge for the first time with my husband and sister in law, last night…read more We went in for dinner & to watch Jeff Burkett perform live. We made a reservation through Open Table. There is no additional cost to reserve a table, which is great since most other similar spots either had a cover fee or you had to buy tickets for the live performance. Upon arrival, our table was ready right when we showed up. The service was excellent throughout the night considering how busy it was in there. Our waitress was so patient, especially considering how long we took to make a decision on what we were going to order. The lighting was very nice, the music was great. We spent about 3 hours here enjoying the atmosphere. The food was very good, and prices were low! The drinks (which we did not partake in) were pricey, but seemed to have a great selection. There was a full bar & a handful of "signature" drinks to choose from. We ended up keeping it simple & getting the Wagyu Burger & Fries. I upgraded to onion rings. It took a little while to get our food, but we were in no rush. The burgers were cooked exactly how we wanted them, and tasted fresh. The onion rings and fries were delicious. The lounge also has another restaurant called "Vybe" attached, with similar food offerings, and a DJ instead of a live band. It's a bit quieter in that area. They also have karaoke suites for rent, which is a really cool option for people who are having a party. A waitress was kind enough to give us a tour of all these areas within the restaurant, and give us all the details about what packages are offered. All in all, we had such a nice night out and will definitely be back in the future.

George and Gather has been high on my list to check out, since opening one year ago! I've heard…read morenothing but positive things about this place and now I understand why! There is a parking lot and indoor/outdoor seating. I love the decor and ambiance of this place, especially the lighting in the dining room. They have a separate area with a small shop and cafe with desserts and some grab and go items. I will be back to try a coffee! My friend and I came here for the pre-set restaurant week menu. I made a reservation the night before, but it wasn't too busy while we were there on a Tuesday at 530pm. Our server Allison was great and very attentive. For appetizers we tried the whipped goat cheese spread and wagyu meatballs. I thought the goat cheese spread was delicious! For entrees we choose the pasta pomodoro and the farmers market pizza which were both very tasty. The pizza had so much flavor l, especially the crust, and the texture of the pasta was perfect!! For dessert we tried the affogato and apricot cheesecake. Oh My Gosh that cheesecake was the BEST dessert I've had in a while!!!! You have to try it and I can't recommend it enough!!!! I can't wait to come back!!

After our visit I promptly removed this place from my bookmarks…read more Disappointing from the moment I spoke with the hostess. We had been put on a wait list shortly before I arrived. When I arrived and spoke with spouse he had already been waiting 20+ minutes. When I checked in with hostess to see if there had been any changes I was promptly schooled that "he was told "XYZ" and there's one table ahead of us still... I disregarded that vibe, figured because it was "busy" or because it was "Saturday evening" and everywhere is busy... I felt the senior hostess was curt when I inquired about the status of our wait, so I tried to brush it off. Just inefficient all the way around. From seating and neglecting to ask about seating preference (could there have been a shorter wait?), initial greeting by server, or was it a bus boy?, beverage order and wait for food. Couldn't even get a full glass of water poured or full carafe brought to the table while we waited for service. It was all very disappointing and I feel completely led astray by the ratings and reviews. I truly can not believe we waited 1 1/2 hrs just to be seated so we could eat pizza. Oh, but wait! It's pizza on 130 year old sourdough yeast?! Whatever. The pizza was alright, but the entire experience certainly didn't improve the taste of the pizza. Tourist trap? Maybe. Trendy? Because it's located in downtown Chandler? And then there's the parking scenario. If you're staying at the San Marcos or the other hotel downtown, walking here will be quicker than trying to find a parking spot. Carpool would be my other suggestion because parking really is a premium. And I want to add, the hostess never came to let us know a table was ready. We were only offered a table when my son went in to check the status. Only then did he get asked if we would be open to outdoor seating. Maybe Brunch has something more to offer. IDK. But I'm certainly not inclined to recommend or dine here again.

I didn't get to spend too much time here so I do want to come back!! My friend and I both ordered an espresso martini but we didn't love it... we drank maybe less than half. I do think that was more of an US problem... out of all espresso martinis i've had, I probably only enjoyed 1 of them. As much as I want to love an espresso martini, I don't think it wants to love me back :( We also tried their nutella cheesecake which was delicious but not very nutella-ey as we expected. Overall we had a good experience here and definetly want to give it another try with different drinks!

We returned to Parlay Kitchen + Cocktails on a Wednesday and had a completely different experience…read morethan our first visit, in the best way. Javi guided us toward the Wednesday offering of their Parlay Chardonnay with bruschetta, and that pairing alone shifted the entire evening. We had only planned for a simple glass of wine, but his recommendation introduced us to something far more thoughtful. The bruschetta was bright and well composed, layered with fresh flavors that complemented the wine beautifully. I was genuinely surprised to learn Parlay has its own label. The Chardonnay was clean, refreshing, and balanced with the kind of crisp structure and subtle fruit notes you expect from a well executed glass. It felt intentional, not just another house option. We added wings, which were well prepared, and my husband ordered the beer cheese chicken Philly. I tried it and the sauce stood out immediately, rich without being heavy and full of flavor. What truly elevated the experience was the service, and Deedee set the tone. Her presence carries a level of professionalism that is rare, but it is her warmth and attentiveness that make her exceptional. She leads with confidence, reads the room effortlessly, and creates an environment where guests feel genuinely cared for without it ever feeling forced. There is a natural ease to how she manages both her team and the floor, and it shows in every detail of the experience. She is not just managing, she is elevating the entire operation. Javi complemented that perfectly with thoughtful recommendations and a genuine approach that made the evening feel curated rather than transactional. Our first visit left us underwhelmed. This time, everything aligned. The right selections, the right guidance, and the right leadership. We left genuinely glad we came back. If there is a Parlay near you, it is worth a second look.

Unfortunately, it took over 30 minutes before we received our order. The sandwich was without much flavor and the cheese sauce was very grainy. The wedge salad was extremely good and the bleu cheese crumble was delicious. We also ordered the Brown butter cake with ice cream. That was absolutely delicious.

This bar is located inside the Crown Plaza hotel in downtown Chandler. We visited it a few times for a late night drink or before we head out for the night. One night we did order the nachos which were super good I would order them again or be interested in ordering other items on the menu. The whole staff is super attentive and the lobby is typically a quieter area to enjoy a drink and apps or even a full meal. See you next year 1912!

The service truly stood out--easily a 10/5. Our bartender was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel welcoming from start to finish. As for the food: * The Posse Bowl was a 3/5--decent, but it lacked depth of flavor and could have been more seasoned. * The Amo Burger, on the other hand, was a hit. My husband finished it in no time and raved about both the burger and the fries. If you visit, I'd definitely recommend going the burger route. Overall, a good stop with standout service.

I've only been here twice, but I had to come back because I was seriously craving the amazing bowl…read moreI ordered the first time. When I first visited with friends, we also tried some cocktails made with fresh-squeezed juice, they were absolutely delicious. This time I ordered the Loaded Barrel bowl, which comes with rice, avocado, chicken, an over-medium (or over-easy) egg, teriyaki glaze, and green onions. It's such a hearty dish, fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly healthy. Everything tasted high-quality and well-prepared. The place itself looks great. I noticed a lot of people ordering the pizza, and it looked fantastic, so that's definitely on my list for next time. The ambiance is cool and open, they have a great selection of craft beers, and the bar area is really inviting. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the environment is very clean. It's attached to a shooting range, which adds to the unique vibe. Parking is never an issue. Overall, it's just a cool spot to hang out, catch up with friends, and enjoy quality food with great service. I highly recommend it and can't wait to go back to try more of the menu!

Met a couple of girlfriends for happy hour and we had a fabulous time. The Happy Hour menu is incredible! Happy Hour is available everyday including Sundays from 3-6pm. Beer, wine and well drinks are only $5 and 8 food items for $5 too. I ordered a California roll and egg rolls. The California roll was huge! 8 huge pieces for $5 and was delish! 6 egg rolls for $5 and yummy too! Crazy prices! They also have 4 TV's playing sports. It's a great spot for a date night or come with friends or even by yourself! Service was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back!

DJ can be accommodating... at times. Recommend coming with a large group. Cons: Horrible location tucked away in the middle of nowhere. No dress code, and if there is, it's not enforced. Bottle service areas have huge couches. Smaller groups will feel lost among friends. A bit overpriced for the location. The facility tends to stay warm. Though barely anyone in the venue on a Friday night, and if you have bottle service, server visits to your table are few and far between. Though they do congregate among themselves and check their phones frequently. Sigh. Fails: Hookah smoking is on the menu. A lame attempt to entice a younger crowd in, while alienating the older crowd that has the disposable income. Vaping is also allowed as staff doesn't admonish you if you do it in the open and in front of other patrons. Total turn off and only reason we would not return. If you want to be respected like a high-end nightclub, act like one and cater to your paying clientele.

I kicked off our 90-minute experience with the Blackberry Yuzu Margarita, and it was the perfect balance of crisp, sweet, and tart. I wrapped things up with the Macadamia Nut Piña Colada which, fittingly for being "aboard" a pirate ship, was delightfully rum-forward without being overly sweet. In between cocktails, we shared a couple of snacks that were such a welcome addition -- something you sadly don't always find at local speakeasies! The service was top-notch thanks to our bartender Rocco, whose knowledge and attention to detail made the experience even more fun. Between the creative cocktails, immersive vibe, and fantastic hospitality, Undertow is easily one of the coolest spots around!

Of course, this place is known for its cocktails, so naturally they should be great--but trust me, I've been to several cocktail-only establishments that were lackluster. Absolutely NOT the case here. You could literally put all the pages of the menu on a wall, throw a dart, and whatever you hit would be delicious and interesting in its own right. The place is a little small, but honestly, that's what I love about it. It feels cozy in all the right ways. It's also very relaxing, floating along the sea with some delightful surprises here and there. We ordered several drinks, but one that's not on the menu (and they do make it) is the Pearl Diver, which is magnificent here. The mixologists and servers are all amazing and should be proud of themselves for bringing such an experience to Gilbert.
