    Went into Neutral Ground with little to no expectations and walked out completely obsessed!! We weren't super hungry and honestly weren't sure the menu was going to be our thing just by looking online but we were so wrong. We ordered the cured salmon, tartare, English peas, hen, and the Naked and Famous cocktail, and every single thing was a huge hit. Tartare was our favorite! The format is perfect for sharing and grazing, and the portions were just right for a full spread without overdoing it. Our server was also so kind and came in clutch when we were unsure what to order. If you're just coming in for drinks you'll also love how cozy and intimate it is. I loved the ambiance. Perfect for a date night or small get together with friends. It feels like a hidden gem tucked into Arcadia that you want to keep to yourself. This is absolutely going in our regular rotation!!

    Absolutely loved my experience at Neutral Ground Lounge! The deviled eggs were flavorful, the cucumber mocktail was incredibly refreshing, and the pineapple sorbet was the perfect light and tropical finish to the meal. Everything tasted fresh, intentional, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was also such a vibe. It was relaxing, elevated, and welcoming. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

    Acorn squash. Beautiful.

    Great great new concept in the Arcadia area! Small bites of simply amazing food and a killer cocktail list. I've tried almost everything on the menu and it's wonderful. So very delicious. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Modern retro feel. Nice bar. Comfortable seating. Service is so Friendly. I've tried most every cocktail and I really enjoy them. The one that needs work is the daiquiri. It needs a bit more "pizzazz". It's a bit flat and one note. That's my only complaint honestly. What a fun new place.

    The food and cocktails were all awesome!!! Make sure and get the radicchio salad if it's sfill on the menu. They said it will change seasonally. Love that it wasn't too loud and you could hear your table speak.

    See all

    Filthy Animal - Milk Bread

    I want to give 5 stars for the amazing dinner experience at Filthy Animal. I've been a few times…read morenow, and the food and service during dinner have always been incredible. The oysters are a must, the steak is cooked perfectly, and everything is plated so thoughtfully it really feels like a full experience, not just a meal. The dinner staff has also always been attentive, friendly, and on point. That said, I recently came in for brunch and had a very different experience. I'm a huge pancake person, so I was excited to try the strawberry pancakes, but they were honestly disappointing. They were soggy, lacked any fluff, and had more of a cornbread texture than a pancake. The strawberry topping also wasn't very appetizing--it seemed like it was meant to be more of a sauce, but it didn't quite work. I completely understand that higher-end restaurants like to get creative with their dishes, but I think some basics like pancakes should still be done really well. I'll definitely be back for dinner, but I'd probably skip brunch next time.

    Filthy Animal is a play on words as it grabs your attention and makes you remember it. Please…read moredon't let the name confuse you, it is NOT organ meat. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. I feel the need to wear a safari pith helmet and khaki. The upscale lighting and artwork is stunning. We went with our friends who are mostly vegan and very adventurous. The menu can be meat heavy but the small plates are intriguing and have well thought out flavor combos. The evening was nice and our reservations early so we elected to dine outside. Our only issue was the misters were going so strong that water droplets can down like rain. Once notified, the restaurant shut them off. We had real intrigue with the small plate flavor combinations, unusual ingredients groupings and waitress suggestions. The milk bread with miso tomato butter, almond and kalamata was the first to arrive. The rolls were slightly sweet, pillowy and unbelievable when accompanied with the savory butter. I easily could of polished off two plates on my own. The heirloom tomato and spicy peanut dressing with onions, daikon radish, baby gem, whipped queso de cabra, mala chili and sour nut was a show stopper. It was not over-powering but kept you coming back for one more bite. A definite must try. The Taridito with yellow tail, grilled peaches, avacado crema, habanero passion fruit aguachile, and crispy quinoa was good but our least favorite. The tuna cerviche with grilled pineapple, leche de tigre, crispy quinoa and lightly salted long plantain chips were over the moon good. The sweet, salty and savory flavors were perfectly blended and memorable. Our final selection was the bomba rice risotto with shrimp, linguica, green peas, piquillo peppers, kosho aioli and parmesan was smooth, amazing flavor and warm to the soul. A truly incredible dish. It is difficult to express just how pleasantly surprised and absolutely tasty our dining was tonight. The name completely threw us off. A heart felt thank you to our female server and her suggestions. Filthy Animal is a new favorite dining space in the hip ASU center of town. All of us will definitely be returning to discover the rest of the menu. If you have the opportunity, make reservations and book a seat to a truly enjoyable evening of dining at Filthy Animal. Great Job!

    I had been waiting what felt like an eternity to try out this disco-themed speakeasy! Disco balls,…read morelots of moving lights, swanky vibes, groovy music, and attentive and intelligent servers! Love it! I started out with a cocktail - the Mega Viral! Once you try it, you will understand the name. One of the more innovative cocktails I have ever had... and I ended up having two! So delicious and an experience in itself!! We enjoyed some light bites as well - the Edamame Hummus and Shishito Peppers. Both were fantastic! I love that their menu points out which items are gluten-free... and our server even warned me that the plantain chips in the Edamame Hummus could have cross-contamination... so I very much appreciate that heads up! I opted to order them anyway and I am so glad I did - so good! And I experienced no gluten issues. Awesome! I'm already looking forward to a return trip!

    Drop Dead Gorgeous is a 70s themed speakeasy located inside of Filthy Animal. My friend and I…read morearrived around opening hour and got a good spot in the middle of the bar. I love the giant disco balls and the aesthetic of this place. We started with the appletini and lemongrass highball (non-alcoholic). My friend and I ended up switching drinks because we liked each other's more than our own. For the second round, we ordered the brandy spritz and primrose martini. We weren't fans of the brandy spritz, although my friend grew into it. The primrose martini was quite good, I liked it better than the appletini. For snackies, we ordered the glizzy gaunlet, which was basically a tower of carbs. It came with 5 mini dogs with milk bread, and potato wedges. There were 3 sauces, my favorite in order were the: truffle dijonnaise, kosho aioli, and korean ketchup. We enjoyed this more than the food at Filthy Animal. Although it was pricey ($22) for just carbs and hardly any protein. The milk bread was delicious and the mini dogs were pretty good too. The potato wedges were cooked perfectly, slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Would I return? Probably not. The food was better than the drinks but it wasn't outstanding.
