I'm a broke grad student or else this would get 5 stars…read more Pros: A dark, intimate ambiance with accents of color in geometrically-pleasing ways. Music was upbeat, house-ish type vibe, perfect volume for date convos but not really for group outings IMO. Staff and community seems friendly and healthy, and there were even little easter eggs on the menu to discover! And the menu? It was literally like a magazine, very entertaining while also informative. Cons: They charged New York prices for their cocktails. And honestly, it was a pretty new york experience in some ways, but if you're living on a budget this is not the place for you. Not a great place to go to meet new people IMO. Bar was a little cramped for me, but that's not hard to do, long legs and such. SUMMARY: This would be my spot if I achieve all my dreams and make a bajillion dollars. Amazing vibes, great service and staff, creative interior design. *Aesthetic*, but exclusive.

We shared the spinach dip, truffle fries, buffalo wings, and shrimp tacos, and every single dish was a hit. You can tell they really care about quality and flavor. We also tried their mocktails, which were refreshing and well-crafted. To top it all off, they surprised us with a complimentary sundae for dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the celebration feel even more special. I also loved the vibe...very swanky and upscale with dim lighting and elevated energy. It felt like the perfect setting for a birthday celebration. We left happy, full, and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend!

Maybe they're paid, I'm not sure, but based on my experience I would not go back. The biggest issue was the service. We arrived and were told to sit anywhere we wanted. After sitting down, we waited about 20 minutes and no one ever came to our table. No greeting, no water, nothing. Eventually I had to walk up to the bar and ask what the procedure was. Do we order at the bar? Do you have table service? No one could give a clear answer. They just kept saying, "If you want, you can order here." That's not the point. If I sit down at a restaurant, I expect someone to come to the table and explain how things work or take our order. If the system is that you order at the bar, just say that clearly so people know what to do. The drinks were also very mediocre. Nothing special at all. Honestly, they tasted like something you could throw together at home with soda, alcohol, and ice. The surprising part is that the food was actually phenomenal. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. The dishes were delicious and probably the best part of the entire experience. But great food alone isn't enough to make me return somewhere with poor service and forgettable drinks. My recommendation is don't waste your time on a Sunday brunch. There are plenty of other brunch spots with good food and good service.

The espresso martini was the best I've had, and the porn star and spritz were tasty as well. Champagne wasn't my favorite but I'm not super familiar with champagne so maybe that's just me. We also got the zeppole and they were fantastic. Very salty prosciutto, but very yummy. Our waitress was extremely attentive which was refreshing. Only two complaints really. The jazz stopped for almost half an hour, which was right in the middle of our time slot, so that was a bit of a bummer since we missed most of the jazz while there. And also just the price for me. The drinks are $20-30/each, which makes sense for the location and I don't blame them, but just not ideal for the average joe such as myself. Definitely save it for special occasions.

I liked the look and vibes of the place and decided we needed to circle back through here before the night was over. After dinner we explored the Scottsdale nightlife and decide to end our night here. The vibe was completely different later in the night. This time we had to go through bouncers. The lounge itself is absolutely stunning. They have an indoor space that is beautifully decorated with lots of different seating options. They have an open air concept with one side open to the rooftop pool deck. The bartenders and staff were scantily clad which definitely had gentleman hanging at the bar too long. That meant long waits to get a drink. For a place that looks so upscale, I was disappointed in the drinks. Online they talk about a next level mixology experience and that was not our experience. We got cocktails served in plastic cups that cost just as much or even more than some high end cocktail bars I have been to. It's kind of what is expected in Scottsdale though. Overall, we had a good time. I just wouldn't go out of my way to come back here next time I am in town.

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!

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.

Since I was by myself, I was able to be seated at the bar. The vibe here is incredible! It's beautifully decorated and nice and cozy. Perfect for a date night. I must bring my husband back here at some point. As I said, I sat at the bar and Megan the bartender was outstanding! I ordered a drink called Agree to Disagree. I think that was the name. Anyway, it was delicious and because it was happy hour it was half off the regular price of $23. I ordered one oyster and it was fabulous. I only ordered one because I was meeting a group of friends at The Guest House in 30 minutes and I did not want to spoil my appetite. I can't wait to come back here so that I can enjoy the full experience with the band. It's a lovely place and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

We walk in and get sat at the bar instead and get told it's the best they can do as others get sat in the middle. Eventually they got a smaller table for us, but the rest of us had to stand. For a big birthday party today, it was a failed experience. Took ages to get our drinks and it was impossible to get water. Couldn't even get some water for the past 2 hours we were there. The people in the middle tables got ice cold waters, we could barely get two and it was warm. At least the inside was nice, but wow, I would NEVER come back or tell my friends about it.
