    Chicken tacos
    Alice F.

    This lounge is out of my usual way, so I only get over here when I have an extended layover. The staff are friendly, especially the person working the taco Airstream! While I like the general ambiance, the open to the terminal design makes it a little less relaxing than other lounges. You hear the gate announcements pretty regularly, which can be a little stressful. Otherwise, good drinks, tacos, and service.

    One of the best Sapphire Lounge experiences I've had! We came in during breakfast, before 11 AM, and were really impressed with the food--it was restaurant quality. The chilaquiles verde and chorizo breakfast tacos were both absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The service was friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. The wait wasn't bad either--only about 15 minutes. Definitely a great lounge experience and a wonderful way to start the day before a flight!

    Probably one of the best Sapphire Lounge I can access with the Ritz card. Definetely on the top. Been to one in Oakland under Priority Pass which was ok. One in Maui which is shared with Hawaiian Airline was very lame. At this location, early hours, they started packing up quickly and probably needs reservation if you are coming later. One of the host showed us to the table which was very nice and very professional. Once seated, we went and got the drinks and food. I noticed few guys came in after us and sat at the bar. Looks like they have been doing this often. Lots of top shelf liquors and fancy drink choices. Our table was cleared quickly. I loved the water option and also ability to make fresh esspresso and Ameriano or just settle with coffee. Will be back to Pheonix just to try this lounge again.

    The smallest sapphire lounge we'v ever visited. There is usually a short wait because of the size of it. Lounge itself is stylish and cozy. The food and drink selections are very good and service is great. I think the best way is to reserve seats in advance as sapphire reserve card holders!

    5 stars for the employees and service! Valerie was really sweet we enjoyed talking with her, she made our morning real nice! 4.5 for the food. Getting to the seats were tight to walk by when there two people passing each other especially with luggage. I enjoyed the apple berry cobbler! I was surprised there were no mints. I enjoy a good mint after I eat and before getting on the plane after drinking coffee.

    I've been wanting to visit this lounge for the longest time, and I finally found the time! What's great about it is that it's made for those reaaaaaal early flights. It opens right at 4:30 AM, and honestly, the food is so much better than Escape. The lounge was super quiet with no wait at all - granted, I got there right when it opened. I immediately grabbed a seat close to the food and drinks because priorities. Lol Don't forget to check out the Airstream too by the seats "outside". They offer a different menu for breakfast and lunch, which is a fun little bonus. I'm not much of a drinker before a flight, so I didn't get to try any of the specialty cocktails. But I thought it was pretty cool that there's a QR code at each table where you can order from the bar, and they'll bring it right to you. I was honestly most impressed by the breakfast selection and how clean everything was. The bathroom was fine not a ton of stalls but for an early morning flight, this lounge is such a great option. The service is top notch -I had Antoine ask if I want anything from the breakfast bar and he can bring it to my table. He was also the kind person who checked me in. I can definitely see how this place gets packed later in the day, but if you have an early flight, it's absolutely worth checking out!

    Be sure to make a reservation in the Chase app if you have status! This is very important, as all the negative reviews bellyache about wait times. We tried nearly all of it. In order of preference, a category at a time: Chicken thighs - shrimp & grits - Chkn Adovado taco (airstream both) Of the buffet veggies & sides: Farro salad -Squash, ratatouille - carrots -cold harrisa yogurt -kale/ beans - Chkn Caesar wedge salad -hummus. Desserts at buffet: meh. Except for for the dark chocolate chip cookie, which was excellent; Matcha chocolate bites (brownies) also excellent. Peroni was crispy as can be; bartenders friendly in spite of the nonstop action. "Ready for takeoff" was nice & spicy; "Jet-stream Berry" was solid also. Well-staffed and our plates were cleared away fastidiously. Loved the booth past the fireplace- a calm oasis. Food didn't quite move me, but loved the experience. 3.5, round up for good service.

    Excellent experience especially if you make a reservation online ahead of time through the Chase app. I booked for 3 thinking I'd bring some friends on a Saturday at 5pm (my flight was at 7) but they ended up being at a different terminal altogether. I talked to a lovely gentleman who told me to come back at 4pm - I was likely accommodated bc I was a solo party, but I appreciated him nonetheless! Other people tried to walk in and were quoted anywhere from a 30 min to 1 hour wait. They actually seat you at a table or counter, so it's not a free-for-all seating. I was sat near the bar at a long counter facing the wall (not ideal, but fine). I had easy accessibility to power. Food was delicious and the drinks were pretty good. There was a separate area for tacos, nachos and elote; but unfortunately they were out of a few ingredients at the time I visited. I mostly frequented the bar and the buffet area. Overall, definitely worth a stop in if you have access!

    Finally got to visit one of the Chase Sapphire lounges! The lounge is gorgeous! Since you're assigned your seat, a host is there to escort you to your spot. Beautiful, full bar with signature cocktails. I got the Sapphire with vodka and it was so beautifully presented and delicious too. Super cute airstream that offers various Mexican bites (tacos, a bomb jalapeño corn!, guac, etc.). They also have a Mexican breakfast menu. Then there's the main area that had an assortment of salads, light sides and some simple sweets. A lot of healthier options which tasted good. Fantastic hospitality, lots of staff here. Reservations available online too, which I could see would be helpful even when it's not during peak times.

    Chase Lounge in the Phoenix Airport - January 2026

    I'm honestly not sure why so many reviewers have had negative experiences here, because my visit to the Chase Sapphire Lounge at PHX was a very, very pleasant surprise. I wasn't even planning on stopping by, but during a layover in Phoenix, my cat and I decided to check it out and I'm so glad we did. We were able to enter the lounge with zero wait. The only hiccup at the start was the "bouncer" at the entrance who wouldn't let us sit at a table and directed us to the bar instead. It wasn't really what I wanted at first, but it ended up working out perfectly. The bartender was fantastic and whipped up the best "sweet mocktail" I've had in a a long time! It was actually so good that I enjoyed two while I was there :) The food options were quite tasty and not just "airport good." I especially loved the Airstream located in the terminal seating area of the lounge which served up Mexican favorites like tacos, guacamole, and street corn. Fun concept (I love Airstreams!) and great flavors. The atmosphere overall was sleek and swanky. One employee even went above and beyond trying to help me track down an iPhone charger which I really appreciated. Small gestures like that go a long way. The only minor downside was that the bathroom could've used a little TLC, but it wasn't enough to take away from the experience. Between the food, drinks, service, and vibes, this lounge was an unexpected treat and a great reminder of one of the many perks of having a Chase Sapphire Reserve card. And yes... my cat enjoyed himself too - meow!

    That braised slow cooked beef, pretty pretty pretty good

    The negative reviews baffles me. I got on the wait-list and in 15 min I was in and having my free drinks and meals happily. The aesthetics is very nice and calming. The being seated by the host worked out as we were able to get an actual table. They have Bero for the non alcohol drinkers but still enjoy the taste of beer. The cocktail list is plenty and the presentation is on par to a swanky hotel lounge bar. The food options are great, a little bit of this and that, vegetarians won't be too disappointed. Don't get discouraged about getting on the wait-list, it's a process but I think it's how they organize the flow of traffic. Much better experience than most lounges.

    The lounge at Sky Harbor is where Southwest operates, at gate D11 on the upper levels. You need the Chase Sapphire card for access, but they may have a paid one-time access: check online for rules. We went to have a calmer and quieter wait for our flight: the ambiance is quite nice, very busy at the front desk, with a dining area to the left, a pleasant bar looking outside, as well as a smaller area to the right with a few tables for sitting and make use of the buffet style offerings. Unfortunately for me everything had the dreaded Chili spicing everything; so I had the nice pearl barley with cheese, herbs and a dressing, some lemon rice that had no lemon (?) so that was sadly bland and dry. For me this food offering was disappointing... however, with my deadly allergy, I had little choice or way to change this. Perhaps the menu could include a few offers of allergy-safe foods besides catering only to peanut - a well known one- allergic people. Several wait staff were in the lounge, but none too prone to asking customers for orders: I thought drinks would be served by table service, while the food was buffet style in the area we were seated. But..the QR code at our table either didn't work or the network was slow so we couldn't order drinks; either way ordering wasn't a very smooth experience. Overall a good way to pass time before your flight. In April we had booked the lounge again, sadly the reservation made for 0600hrs was listed as evening i.e 1800hrs and others were let in while we were waiting outside to fix this issue;. We ended up leaving because it was getting to be a long wait and we were leaving from a gate far away. I truly hope the 24 hour clock gets used more - it's standard in Europe and many other countries (not just military, as some think of it) exactly to avoid these problems. The restrooms are clean, unisex, and handicap friendly; the lounge will hold your wheelchair while you're inside or call for the red-bench 'shuttle'. The airport assistance staff are great, and the service is always appreciated. My only "issue" is with that red-bench PAX shuttle used inside the terminal: the seating is extremely rigid and upright, and the ride was rough enough that I briefly wondered whether complimentary astronaut training had been added to the airport experience..... Speed is good but not becoming airborne and wondering if all my vertebrae are still there Enjoy the lounge, but don't miss your flight!

    I'm sure this might be a hot take for some, but my experience at the Sapphire Lounge was way better than AMEX. AMEX is good, but Sapphire blew it outta the park during my first visit. 10/10 and would come back if I had more visits available via the Priority Pass. Shout out to Tayah and Landon. Great drinks and service. There was a waitlist when I arrived but I only waited 30 min, so not terrible. Once checked in, they assign your seat and I sat at the bar. The food was delicious. Compliments to the chef. Thanks Chase!

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.

It's the kind of restaurant that makes getting dressed up feel exciting and worth it, and I absolutely loved that about the experience. It felt like such a perfect date night spot or place to celebrate something special. The servers were also extremely attentive the entire night. Everyone was friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling overbearing. The service honestly matched the upscale atmosphere perfectly and made the whole experience feel even more polished. And OMG... the food. SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.

Only downside is that…read morefor some reason Apple maps was not accurate to finding the location and parking was a challenge as it is right on Roosevelt Row. However as soon as I found it and immediately after entering Pretty Penny I was transformed to the cutest little restaurant. I was greeted immediately and had made a reservation so even though my friend hadn't arrived yet, they sat me down. They instantly offered water and menus (food and cocktail). I noticed that the menu seemed very small and the dishes were shareable -- I don't eat meat so I was hoping my friend wouldn't mind sticking with fish and seafood (which she didn't). As soon as I got to my table there was the cutest sign that said welcome to Sarah Sherman and guest -- it was such an adorable and personal touch, I loved that! As soon as my friend got there we immediately both ordered the cold brew old fashioned -- we thought about the espresso martini but this just sounded too good to pass up -- and we were not disappointed! This drink was so tasty and strong. We immediately ordered the bread (sourdough boule) to soak up some of the alcohol as well as some oysters and the salsa. The oysters were so well spiced and were absolutely delicious. But the bread, the bread, the bread -- the server mentioned that it took almost 9 months to develop the bread recipe and it served. It was the best bread and butter that I think I have ever had! The salsa was good but probably was my least favorite of everything and it was still super yummy. We then moved on to the octopus tostadas. Sometimes octopus is not my fav -- it can be too chewy but this was so amazing and incredibly flavorful. It was starting to be my favorite dish until we ordered the Hamachi -- OMG!! Talk about a mouth orgasm-- both my friend and I were yummming it up -- but seriously this bite was so complex with different flavors coming up with every chew -- it has coriander candied peanuts, fermented pineapple, avocado, pickled fresno, toasted coconut and aji amarillo yogurt -- The server mentioned that this was the chef's least favorite dish which I totally do not understand because this was off the charts in my book. We also tried the earl gray whiskey sour, which was light and delicious, and ended with the shrimp toast and the espresso martini. By the way the toast on the shrimp toast was like a little fried dough triangle -- sooooo gooood! The martini was good but the cold brew old fashioned really stole the spotlight for me. Other details I loved that just elevated the experience: Purse hook (very important to me), the little trays for your utensils, metal coasters, incredibly attentive servers, fantastic music, great ambiance and the cutest was the penny they put on top of your check. So cute -- was not expecting such an enjoyable all around experience!! Will be back 1000%!!!
