    Entrance

    We came for happy hour but let me just tell you, we were so impressed with this place! The food was delicious and the restaurant itself was beautiful! Our server had the coolest looking mustache and definitely gave us a 10/10 service! $30 for 12oz ribeye & $10 margaritas on happy hour?? Yeah we'll be back next week!

    It was our first time here and we decided to give happy hour a try. I was really impressed with the ambiance of the restaurant right when you walk in and throughout, it's gorgeous. My husband reviewed the menus prior but I didn't. I was shocked by the price of the food and especially the kids meals $18-20ish, and $48ish for enchiladas. That being said, the quality of the food, service, and ambiance helped me feel more comfortable with the cost. I would say I thought it was going to be a more casual experience (because of the plaza) but it does have a more upscale vibe. Our server was fantastic and really made sure to help make our experience just right. We will definitely be back but I think I'll save this place for special occasions, thank you!

    Went to Or1gen on Valentine's Day and it was such a cute and romantic spot for dinner. The vibes were moody and intimate, which made it feel perfect for a date night. The service was also great. the staff was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I ordered the Mary's chicken with truffle fries and both were delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the truffle fries were crispy and full of flavor. definitely a great combo. Overall it felt like a really special spot for a romantic dinner, and I'd definitely come back for another date night!!

    The food atmosphere and service were awesome. Love everything. The queso fondido to the guacamole to my steak and the octopus. We loved everything. Angel the waiter was great. Carlos the manager came by to make sure everything was good.

    This building and the ambience are remarkable. The decor is high-end fashioned, but also interesting with the natural elements such as barking wood. They had live music playing jazz with a saxophone that was really quite soothing and provided an upscale vibe. The staff here were very attentive, but I will say the food was really disappointing. Salmon was flavorless. The prices are overrated. The guacamole was fine. The salad was a bit lacking. The queso was small portions and very stringy. The one saving grace of this meal was the chocolate churros. They were phenomenal. I would come back here for a drink and churros but that's it. The food was overpriced and bland really disappointing given the beautiful setting.

    Found this place through an instagram story and was excited to try it. We were seated during happy hour with no reservation. They easily accommodated our group of five. The food is excellent and flavorful. The portion sizes are very generous and they even offered to fire the steak at two temperatures to split. We ordered the ribeye during happy hour. There was a nice crust on the steak and was well seasoned. The kids meals have extremely generous portions but are 18-20 dollars per kids meals. The service was excellent. Would definitely be worthwhile to check out at happy hour (Sunday through Thursday 3-5)

    Def my go-to East Valley "dinner out" spot. Reviewing a neat concept the restaurant has going!!! Tequila Passport!! Enjoy once a month curated pairing that includes a hand-selected tequila tasting, an entree, appetizer, and dessert (Sunday through Thursday). Also enjoy a cocktail of the month with the meal for only $1; 10% off wine bottles; exclusive invitations and discounts for all signature Origen events; tequila tasting classes with limited spots only for passport members. All for $80 per month. And you'll get the always wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable Origen service, with your choice of delightful patio or cool indoor vibe seating. The menu selections available with the monthly passport include the Mary's Chicken, St Louis Pork Ribs, Ribeye Steak, Pork Shank Cochinita Pibil, Tomahawk Steak, Barbacoa Regia, and many others. A veritable walk through of their most popular food over the passport 12-month period. Live music on the weekends. A great place to meet, celebrate and enjoy good friends, food, wine, cocktails, and tequila!!!

    Grilled Octopus

    Second visit to Origen, this time flying in specifically for Origen and a bar before heading back out the next morning. Still a good experience, and the restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous. Food was decent, and the service was on point. My only critique this time is it did not taste like it did last time at all. Still good, but consistency is important! The octopus this time was very close to overcooked, but just still flew under the radar, and the short rib was great. Carpaccio was good itself but the bread was incredibly over roasted to the point of being a giant crumbling crouton. One complaint was the Churro Carajillo, it was vastly different, appeared to be missing all of the alcohol and taste like a latte. I did bring this up and they assured it was correct and offered a small shot on the side to add to it. This was a good gestures, but the recipe absolutely changed since my last visit, and they should REALLY consider going back to the old one. That being said it was good with the additional shot, but still not the same.

    The ambiance and the decor here is spectacular. It's beautiful inside and great for special occasions. We had a party of 12 for a milestone birthday. We were able to get a private area with a sliding door and personal bathroom. It was awesome. The service was fantastic and our server was attentive and made sure to check on our group. The food was great. I highly recommend the guacamole with pork belly for the appetizer. I also thought my enchilada entree was delicious. I would definitely come back to try other dishes!

    I have heard some mixed reviews on this place. We had a fantastic time. Came in for date night on a Friday and scored seats at the bar. Sara was our bartender/server. She was vey knowledgeable about the menu. She was fun and we loved sitting there watching her make many different cocktails. I had a the biggest baked potato I have ever seen covered with steak bites. I literally ate that night, my husband and I mixed with eggs the next morning and still made a few burritos out of the leftovers. Yum! My husband had the filet tacos and bone marrow. He liked it but when given the habanero hot sauce, he was in love! The bone marrow is always a hit with him and got a mescal luge after was the kicker. We will be back.

    Where do I begin? The decor, food, the service, the added blankets for those sitting outside (a plus)...all were amazing! Impromptu dinner outing and of course, we made reservations because they are busy!! we got lucky finding a spot for us. Our waiter was amazing, so friendly and accommodating! We ordered a variety of apps: The guacamole The ceviche (table fav) the mushrooms (not a fan on its own but paired well with the steak entree) Smoky mac and cheese (OMG AMAZING) Main course: The planco pasta - excellent The white fish - tasty! Ribeye 12oz..excellent (got cold quickly as we sat outside) We wanted to try the chicken but they were sold out :(. cocktails: Mexi-hatten, Mezcal OF, Hibiscus Mex-calita. all were excellent We had the flan for dessert and it was amazing! (comped as we kept ordering things that were sold out lol just our luck) Will definitely be back, especially since its so close to us. Vegetarian items were limited (obviously) but they do have avocado tacos and of course the apps!

    Danielle V.

    Other than the ambience, I was not impressed....at all. The service was horrendous!!! I mean we waited about 10 minutes for our drinks and 20 minutes for our check. It was awful. The food was not great and extremely overpriced. I would much rather go to a high scale establishment like Steak 44 for comparable prices. Mediocre at best. I would go back for HH and the bar based on the ambiance but there are far better restaurants out there with far better service. Don't let the aesthetics of this place fool you for good food and good service.

    Rib Eye, Mash potatoes, onion and jalapeño.
    Kevin K.

    Came for Happy Hour. Had the Steak deal. Absolutely the best deal for a quality steak in the valley. The Rib Eye was spot on. The onions, mash potatoes and jalepeno were great. Also, best atmosphere, music and decor. The service was great. Well done.

Use to visit the Chandler location weekly 12-14 years ago.. even told our kiddos that tonight when we brought them here. Problems started as soon as we got our food. All the food came out besides our son's children's steak, was told they had to cook another one. As we were waiting for his steak, my husband noticed his steak wasn't a ribeye like he ordered. He suspected it was a NY Strip Steak. About 7 minutes goes by and manger brings our sons steak. My husband asked the manager if his steak looked like a NY strip to him and manager replied "yes, I think we have the best NY Strip" and my husband nicely replied, I didn't order a Strip, I ordered a Ribeye and told the manager it was fine, he would eat it still and still tasted good but didn't want to be changed for a Ribeye since he got the strip wrong. ($12 difference) I got the firebirds bacon chicken pasta with steak instead of chicken and no tomatoes and green onions. Well.. there was def tomatoes and onions and no bacon. And I was changed $30 for pasta and steak.. that wasn't even made the way I asked. Well my son's (late) steak was suppose to be medium and it was rare. By the time the server came back my son was eating some of my husbands steak and my pasta so we just asked the server to take his meal off the check because it was late and cooked wrong. She said it was absolutely cooked wrong and insisted to bring him a new steak as well as take it off the check. She even asked him to put his steak on a plate and "she'd throw it away and they'll make him a new children steak." Well manager comes back and tell my husband that his steak was in fact a ribeye (it was def not a ribeye.. no marbling whatsoever) and dropped off our sons steak.... It literally was the pieces we had cut up that they just threw back on the grill. Even pieces our son chewed and spit out when it was rare and too chewy for him. Like GROSS!!! They did take the children's steak off the check and gave us a free dessert( which we didn't even want, we would have rather paid the correct amount for my husbands steak...) The waitress was fine, none of this was her fault because she read us back what we ordered and had it all correct.. but she fell short as to getting us refills (never even offered a 2nd round of wine or beer) and when it was time for the check we gave 2 gift cards $50 each and our card to pay. She brought back our copy to sign and she only took off 1 $50 gift card. We had to call her over and she realized she didn't use both giftcards and had to void our card and redo it. The managers were busy the whole night talking to upset tables. This location really needs to get their stuff together. Again, nice to offer dessert but truly all we wanted was to get what we paid for and how we asked for it and tonight wasn't it. Literally felt like we were scammed outta $160. we will be taking our $$ elsewhere.

    This review is long overdue…read more After drinks and bites at The Living Room on Saturday, May 6, 2017, Rachel took Allen, David and me to THE BRICKYARD DOWNTOWN for more alcoholic beverages. Nestled in historic downtown Chandler, in the narrow sliver of Boston Street, the speak-easy themed cocktail bar and restaurant is located inside the former home of the Chandler Arizonan, the city's original hometown newspaper since 1912. With exposed brick walls and rich wood finishes, the historic site provides an upscale, contemporary urban and industrial-chic setting. After easily finding parking in walking distance from the entrance, we arrived shortly before midnight of the 7th. They were closing soon, but we had enough time to order a round of craftly-made cocktails and beers to down quickly. It helps when your friend knows the bartender. Enter smiley face emoji here. THE BRICKYARD DOWNTOWN is credited for the first place that I ever tried a CLOVER CLUB, a pink, frothy cocktail with fruity, citrusy, velvety qualities. I was instantly tickled pink, literally, by the nostalgic feel of the elegant concoction, topped with artfully designed egg white foam and served in a vintage-style champagne glass. What a beauty of a drink with a touch of class and sophistication! Almost made me want to throw on a flapper dress and dance the Charleston...until I realized the need to balance from the powerful punch in the serious drink. Fancy, stiff cocktails served at THE BRICKYARD DOWNTWON fo shizz. No complaints about that here! It's been a while since I visited Arizona. Maybe it's time to return. If/when I do, I will mos def drop by THE BRICKYARD DOWNTOWN again!

The service was terrific. Kellen was our waiter, and he made us feel genuinely important and completely at home. Management even stopped by our table to check on us, ask for feedback on both the service and the food, and see if there was anything they could be doing better, which really spoke to how much they care about the guest experience. We all ordered the small filet, and every single one was cooked to perfection. The Caesar salad was excellent, with just the right amount of dressing. We also shared the truffle mac and cheese and the potatoes au gratin--both were generous portions and absolutely delicious. To finish, we ordered The Movie Ticket dessert: Flourless brownie, caramel popcorn, marshmallow, salted butter powder, and dulce de leche gelato. My daughter said it was the best dessert she has ever had--and that's saying a lot. We will definitely be returning and can't wait to come back.
