Flavors…read morewere all on point and as expected from the components on the menu, which doesn't happen often in Phoenix. The Papas Verde had an addicting tang from the tomatillo salsa but were brilliantly balanced out by the chorizo and asadero cheese. The shaved brussel salad could have used a little more date and chile to balance out the vinegar but I was pleased either way. The elote was probably the only thing that fell short execution-wise as I didn't get much of the chorizo flavor, but the cook on the corn itself was perfect. The Gambas al Ajillo are absolutely a must-get. Juicy, sweet shrimp with an unexpected kick from the butter sauce and unsurprisingly great bread from Noble. The Tlayuda was a little heavy on the lettuce, but the smoked pork and bean puree combo were so flavorful that it helped balance out the richness with texture and freshness. I also loved the crispy contrast from the fried tortilla. We ended with the Concha and Mango Sticky Rice ice cream which sounded pretty simple but was quite impressive in its own right. The ice cream was a touch too frozen, but it ended up working out well with the crunchy cornflake coating and lightly warmed, pillowy concha to make a really satisfying ending to our meal. Service was excellent and the patio was well-lit and had heaters ready for colder weather. Vecina is on the pricier side for sure, but you will not be disappointed.

We ordered a bottle of wine and went to town on: White Bean Puree * Crispy Short Rib | Herb Salad | Flour Tortilla: Karaage * Aji Amarillo | Citrus Gastrique | Togarashi | Lime Elote * Chorizo Butter | Lime Creme Fraiche | Toasted Chiles Romaine * Buttermilk Dressing | Mexican Sriracha | Parmesan | Noble Bread Breadcrumbs Gambas al Ajillo * Wild Shrimp Co.

Saudero tacos (a brisket confit suadero tacos with a chile jam, aguacate, serrano cruda, toasted sesame, fresnos and micro cilantro) We sat on the patio for a wonderful AZ spring evening. The service was great. I also enjoyed their extensive tequila and mezcal menu. The only downside is the parking -- it's pretty small and shared with Lou Malnati's next door!

Fire. Absolute FIRE…read more My wife and I stumbled into this place after a rave at around 1:00 AM, hungry and looking for something more substantial than typical late-night food. What we found was an absolute gem. The atmosphere was cozy, dimly lit, and comfortable, while still having enough energy to feel lively and fun. It was fairly quiet when we visited, but that's to be expected at 1:00 in the morning. We ordered the fried risotto balls and a pepperoni pizza, and proceeded to absolutely demolish every last bite. To this day, I'm still not sure whether it was the late-night munchies or if the food was genuinely that incredible. Either way, the result was the same: not a crumb was left behind. This was one of those unexpected finds that immediately earns a spot on the return list. We'll absolutely be back. Hidden gems are hard to find, and this place feels like one of them.

We located this Location based on one of my YELP friends that I've been following for years as she really loves Aftermath. On this occasion, we were lucky enough that they had live music. The musician was fantastic and just really talented. We ended up sitting in a nice cozy booth where we could stretch out and feel comfortable and relax. For drink drinks we ordered the old-fashioned and also the big easy. We both enjoyed our drinks and moved on to ordering Andre's. My husband ordered the aftermath burger and I ordered the meatloaf. All in all, we were really happy with our selections and actually ended up getting a second round of cocktails as they were really delicious. For this round of transition to the Cabernet red wine, which is Dauo Wines and it was really tasty. We'll definitely be back, hope that this musician continues to play live music. The drink or music on Sunday night, really made it a fun date night experience.

Solid 2.5 type of place…read more Food- Extraordinarily Mid Happy Hour - We ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice with Crab and wings. Kimchi fried rice was a good portion but bland - no flavor of kimchi or anything really... Aftermath wings with the dill ranch was okay- wings were dry but ranch made up for it. Really didn't get the house hot sauce on it at all. Burger- Highly touted on social media for an amazing burger but honestly for $24 each, you're better off getting a burger anywhere else. We ordered both the Aftermath Burger and Jalapeño Burger. Nothing stood out in a good or bad way so... forgettable. Service- Slow. Only one bartender who mostly was slow. Drinks and water sat empty for quite a while we ate. For a total of $120+tip, it was really middle of the pack.

Drinks were spectacular... dinner was mind-bogglingly delicious... and service was pretty good too (they did forget one of the sides that we ordered, but we ordered too much food anyway, so it wasn't a big deal)! It's worth mentioning that they have always gone out of their way to make sure my food orders are gluten-free... and they label their menu to reflect which items are naturally gluten-free! Also, they offer some gluten-free pastry options, which is super appreciated! The Henry will always be a local fave! Overall rating: *****FIVE STARS***** Gluten-free rating: *****FIVE STARS*****

It took like 20 min before they ordered drinks and 30 min plus before drinks were delivered! Crazy right? The first visit I got the burger and fries and it was delicious. The second time I got a steak medium well and loaded baked potato and the potato was very dry (like an older potato that was on its way out) and although I loved the overall flavor of the steak I had to eat around the edges only and avoided the center because not only wasn't it medium w no pink it was red! Also it had gristle and fat. For $44 it was a waste of good meat and I'm not one to ask a cook to throw it back in the grill when they should know how to produce different levels of cooked steak. The ambiance is a chill dim lit vibe and easy for conversations so that was great! The bathrooms are clean and smell good. Great mirror lighting too. But the front layout is odd, the hostess stand is right there so everyone crams in front of door and there's no barrier to the first large table so you're like staring at the poor people eating at that first long table lol! I think they need to switch up the entry layout and put up a half wall or decorative situation to tuck away that table a bit too. Just my two cents. Overall, I'd go again but it would be really nice if management saw this and trained staff on how to greet table sooner, take drink orders, and deliver said drinks timely for a more pleasant dining experience.

Very on top of it with timing, service, knowledge of food, etc. I wanted to try the chopped salad everyone raved about.

Then we shared their filet with mashed potatoes and charred broccoli. . Hubby and I both said "yummmmy" Finished with the dessert of the night. A Bread pudding with oranges and cherries and something else with vanilla whipped cream and chocolate drizzled. Excellent. Definitely worth the praise on social media.

I mean really, did the chef put any salt and pepper on the flesh side of the salmon or did he/she only season the skin side?

I hope management reads this because I'll be returning to The Gladly with a large group of friends in February and we've selected salmon as one of the choices for our group meal. I hope and pray the fish will be cooked properly with seasoning please! Okay, I'm done talking about the salmon! The Chopped Salad was good and the spinach dip was very good! My spicy margarita was also top notch! However, the salmon left a bad taste in my mouth!

Though, the stuffing underneath was pretty burnt, which took away from the dish. We also ordered the biscuits, but they came out visibly burnt and were much denser than I expected. Our server was great about it and had them comped from the bill without any issue. The gnocchi was probably my favorite thing we tried, and the drinks were excellent as well. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was better than I've experienced at some restaurants with similar price points. Overall, we skipped dessert and left feeling a little underwhelmed. For the price, I expected a more polished experience. I'm happy to have tried it and checked it off my list.
