My wife and I visited Pretty Penny for our anniversary dinner, and the food was outstanding. The…read moresourdough bread with bone marrow butter was the best we've ever had. The sweet potatoes were amazing, and the steak medallions were mouthwatering and so tender I didn't even need a knife. Our champagne and Old Fashioned were wonderful as well. The atmosphere, décor, and noise level were great, and the staff was generally attentive and knowledgeable. They also acknowledged our anniversary with a complimentary glass of wine for each of us, which we appreciated. The food and overall experience felt worth the price. What kept this from being a five-star review was how our reservation was handled. Despite making a reservation in advance, there wasn't a table available when we arrived, and we were offered counter seating instead. For an anniversary dinner, I wanted to sit across from my wife, look at her, and enjoy our evening together. Sitting side by side at a counter wasn't the experience I had planned. After I expressed my disappointment to my wife within earshot of our waitress, we were moved to a table shortly afterward. I appreciated that they corrected it, but the initial experience was still disappointing. The food absolutely deserves praise, but the reservation experience left enough of an impression that I'm honestly undecided about returning.

The drinks were okay but nothing special, and the food was a bit disappointing. We really wanted to love this place because it has such a unique vibe, but there wasn't anything we ate or drank that we'd be excited to come back for. The atmosphere and service were great; we just wish the food and cocktails lived up to them. A parking tip: Be sure to take a picture of your license plate number. Don't pay for parking in the garage when you arrive. As soon as you get to the hostess station, provide your license plate number, and they'll validate your parking for up to two hours. If you plan to stay longer or go somewhere else afterward, keep in mind that the validation will expire. Extending the parking for another two hours cost me $14.

Tasty food, great service, and awesome ambiance -- this spot nailed all three! Highly recommend.read more

He made all the best recommendations from the gumbo selections to the stuffed shrimp, soft shell crab and crispy salmon (which came with a scallop, shrimp and crab meat topper) as well as the catfish plate which came fully loaded!

We took dessert home as we were so full and the NY cheesecake was superb, the birthday girl got the pumpkin pecan pie which was also amazing.

Pier 88 Boiling Seafood is our go-to seafood boil restaurant in the Valley. We regularly dine at…read morethe one in Tolleson, but found ourselves in Mesa today and were in the mood for seafood boil. This location is a much nicer facility and in a better area than the one in Tolleson. The menu is consistent too, which made it easy for us to order our favorites. I hope you get Gigi as your server as she is very pleasant, friendly and checks on you regularly. However, the two (2) greeters at the hostess stand are a different story. It is obvious neither of them like their jobs and just come in to punch a clock. It would be nice if they at least made eye contact with the customers before they have you follow them to the table they have picked out for you. Smile? . . . that's out of the question, too. We determined by the expressions on their faces their parents probably told them since they graduated from high school they aren't going to sit around the house doing nothing all day so this must the the place they applied to.

After driving by this place many times on our way to nearby Dink & Dine, my daughter and I decided…read moreto give it a try. We are fans of the local competitor and wanted to see how this one compared. TLDR: the other one is better! We each ordered the Famous Low Country Boil - mine with lemon pepper sauce and my daughter with the 88 Special, a combo of all the sauces. She went with no spice and I went with mild. We also ordered a bowl of rice. We did enjoy what we had but it seemed heavier than what we are used to. We were not big fans of the sausage mixed in and our service was fine, but not amazing. We were also disappointed that there were not scissors offered to help get the meat out of the crab / lobster - we really had to work for it! On a positive note, we did make good use of the wet wipes that were given to us as well as our bibs and gloves. It is quite a messy meal and note that I learned the hard way: don't wear white if you're planning on ordering any kind of seafood boil! Pricing is similar to the competitor. Ambiance is chill but not as fun. I would not rush back, but I also would return with reasonable expectations.

My experience with Mexican food has admittedly been rather limited, largely revolving around the…read morefamiliar rotation of tacos, burritos, and the familiar assortment of rice and beans. While I've had some phenomenal street tacos in LA and Mexico, I've been wanting to explore more of its diversity, particularly the seafood traditions! We came with a healthy appetite and ordered the Mega Molcajete, El Pulpazo, and Camarones Locos. The complimentary ceviche tostadas were a promising start! Fresh, vibrant, they immediately set my expectations high for quality and freshness of the seafood to follow. The Mega Molcajete was a showstopper. The dish arrived as an extravagant spread of grilled meats, shrimp, octopus, lobster tail, fried fish, and more. Visually spectacular, and with flavors that lived up to its presentation! El Pulpazo deserves its own praise. Octopus is notoriously unforgiving. There's a fine line between beautifully tender and unpleasantly chewy. I've had my share of disappointing renditions to know that an impressive char means very little if the texture isn't right. Fortunately, this was executed well! Fantastically seasoned, with a lovely charred exterior, and cooked to the right doneness! The Camarones Locos were another highlight! We loved the flavors of the sauce! Since we had children with us, our waitress graciously accommodated our request to serve the sauce separately to control the spice level! We also had the Mango Diablo, which provided some much-needed tropical refreshment from both the Arizona heat and the fiery kick of the dishes themselves! A few minor drawbacks worth mentioning. The parking can be tricky, as the lot is rather small (we were fortunate to snag the single remaining spot in the lot). This was also not an inexpensive outing. Our bill (for the aforementioned orders above) came in just under $300 (tax and tip included). That said, I felt the experience justified the splurge!
