    CHICKEN ALFREDO w/ shrimp
    Ashley W.

    Absolutely loved all of the decor in this restaurant! The artwork on the walls to the chandeliers and flower wall by the bathroom. The food was delicious and had to try the fresh made pasta they had on the menu and got the chicken Alfredo and added shrimp. The flavoring was really good, they did their own twist of spinach in their pasta which made the noodles green. I also got to try the chicken orzo and the chicken was nice and crispy and seasoned well!

    This place so beautiful. Great place for a quick drink or snack before a comedy show next door. I enjoyed a fresh grapefruit juice and beer tartare. I loved it. The beef was fatty and perfect. I did love the cold beef off the warm potato cake to enjoy each separately. The bartenders were great, Chris and Lucas so warm and attentive. Great stop!

    Customized menu

    Went here for my anniversary and it was a treat! They customized our menus for the occasion! :) Ambiance is low light and a cute restaurant - good for casual drinks to a fancy dinner, which we were there for! Love the mirror for pictures near the bathrooms. It's located near Trader Joe's, and it is upstairs next to the Improv. Because of the area, there is no shortage of parking in the evening hours. First, we started with two drinks, a cocktail and a wine. I did not enjoy the wine, but the cocktail was yummy! We got the crispy Brussels sprouts & kale to start, and it was DELICIOUS!!! I'd 1000% get this again on my next trip to Society. For entrees, we shared vodka pasta and the filet, and both were good - not great! I'd like to try some other entree items to see how they compare. Lastly, they gave us a treat for our anniversary, which was the cherry on top! Overall, the experience was worth the trip and I loved celebrating my anniversary there!

    I stopped by Society for a drink after a burlesque show at Tempe Improv (which is right next door). Located in a busy shopping center, you'll be able to find a free parking spot. Once you arrive, you'll take the stairs up to the second floor to reach this bar and restaurant. Ambiance (4.5/5): This is one of the areas where Society shines. I love the ambiance here, everything from the lights to the decor and decorations. I sat at the bar. It makes for a great date spot. Service (4/5): While we just had one drink, the service experience was a smooth one. We were greeted promptly, given a few minutes to peruse the menu before our order was taken, and when I wanted to close out, that was done promptly. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet on this visit. Drinks (4/5): Society has an interesting cocktail menu with pretty good prices. Outside of that, they also have a full bar. I was satisfied with my cocktail and would definitely come back after a comedy show at Tempe Improv for a nightcap. Next time around, I'll have to try the food.

    Bday ice cream

    A few friends and I went to a pre prom birthday dinner at society. We would definitely say it was a mixed bag. We started with the feta dip, which was ok, but had too much honey for my taste and didn't come with enough regular bread for each person (4) to have a slice (there was pita but still)... we tried the Mac and Alfredo balls, the balls themselves were just ok but the vodka sauce was delish. We had the bacon wrapped dates, which were tasty. For entrees, I had the chicken with orzo and have to say I was a little disappointed. It's a bit like chicken parm, the chicken itself was really good but it came on top of giant pieces of burnt broccolini that took away from the flavor of the whole dish. The orzo under the chicken was good, kinda risotto like, but there was so little of it. This dish could be awesome with some tweaks. We all really liked the gin pistachio pasta.., that sauce was amazing. The service at the bar was good. They brought out a little ice cream treat for my birthday, which was also nice. Overall, I'd say it just was more expensive than it was tasty, but I would consider going back for that pistachio pasta.

    I came here for the first time and was surprised by the quality of the food. I ordered the pesto pasta, and it was really good Italian cuisine. The staff was friendly, and I really liked the ambience of the restaurant. It was dimly lit with flower decorations all over. The energy seemed to be buzzing. My only complaint is that it seemed to take a little while for our food to come out. We made a reservation and were seated right away. There is parking in the general parking lot.

    Wild MUSHROOM PASTA

    We had an amazing date night experience at Society! We had to sit at the bar because we didn't have a reservation and they were "booked" for the first hour. So I guess make sure you put in a reservation if you're coming on a weekend night. I put "booked" in quotes because within the hour we were there, we still saw a lot of empty tables. Nevertheless, sitting at the bar wasn't that bad. The service was still pretty quick, our food came out fast and when I asked for something they brought it out right away. The food was AMAZING! My wild mushroom pasta was so tasty and I am so glad I tried it. My partner got the burrata pasta and that crispy chicken was tender and juicy. I had to steal some from him. The highlight was our appetizer, I wish I had more of that feta dip because it was the perfect balance.

    Whipped feta

    We were looking for a new restaurant to try before attending a play and this was recommended to us. From the moment we walked in nothing disappointed us. We had reservations and were quickly sat. The VIBE...it's absolutely adorable! The lighting, the decor, every detail made us smile! To our surprise they have a Sunday happy hour. This is always a fun surprise! We had a round of drinks, and all were delicious. We ordered the dates and whipped feta as apps. They all came out quickly and again were so delicious. We all raved about the feta! If you like feta, definitely try this! We all decided on pasta one had the lobster pasta, I ordered the pesto and added 4oz salmon another had the penned and lastly one ordered the pasta with spicy sausage and added shrimp. All of our dishes came out piping hot and after our first bites we knew we were hooked. The pasta was cooked to perfection, the dishes were full of flavor and the salmon was absolutely Devine with the pesto pasta! I haven't even touched on the service as it was seamless, perfectly timed service when we needed but not over the top. We were all shocked we had never heard of Society before and all agreed we will be coming back again soon!

    Definitely on the pricey side but food and drinks were good and service was outstanding. We celebrated our son's birthday and they had a menu all set up with birthday wishes and the waitress was super attentive. It was pretty empty early in the evening on a Sunday but I've heard this place can get super packed on Friday and Saturdays. I personally think there are many other great restaurants in the general area so this wouldn't be my first pick if I'm going to drop a couple hundred on dinner but it's a solid option and we didn't leave disappointed.

    Food was full of flavor and absolutely amazing! I fell in love with the whipped feta dip! Went home researching how to make it myself to eat it everyday! So good! The pesto past was very good my husband ordered the mushroom pasta which was even better. I couldn't help stealing multiple bites off his plate. The service was very good. Was not too busy of a night. We went on a Monday though. We were looking for a restaurant open late (since we get off work late in the night) but with more classy of a vibe! This is the place to go! The ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful. It was decorated very tastefully. I did not have a chance to see the patio but saw many people walking out there. I did not take any selfies that night I'm unsure how the blue lighting will affect the photos of people. For the food it was a bit difficult to get photos to capture how beautifully made it was. I did not want to turn the flash on in such a dark restaurant but that's just my opinion and anxieties This restaurant was beautiful and tasty definitely recommend for a date night or girls night out!

    Had dinner at Society for the first time this week and it was great! The atmosphere is wonderful ! Service was excellent! And the food delicious! We had bacon wrapped figs for appetizers followed by pasta, burgers and clams. Great portions! Can't wait to go back.

    CHICKEN ALFREDO
    Brittany N.

    This place was okay. We sat at the bar because they didn't have any other tables available. Maybe because it was the bar but the bartenders weren't the most welcoming people. Could've been because they were busy but they didn't seem that busy tbh. The service was very straight forward. "What do you want to drink? What do you want for food" not welcoming like "welcome in! Have you been here before? Etc" just not the best tbh. Anywho, for our meals we ordered the Parmesan bites to start off with. I was not expecting it to be sweet! Still tasted great but just not what I was expecting. Then for our entrees I had the crispy chicken burrata and my bf had the chicken Alfredo. We both thought our dishes were just okayyy. No crazy outstanding flavors, just okay. Idk about yall but I've had some pasta that was pretty life changing! Haha I will say this restaurant is aesthetically amazing! The bar counters were soooooo nice! Great interior and definitely a cute little date night spot. I'd imagine this place is more for quick drinks and fun shareable bites with friends. I probably won't be back though!

    Brussel sprout salad.
    Dianne E.

    Ooh this was my first time here and the pasta alla vodka was delicious! I got it with sausage on top because your girl needs meat in her pasta. I also tried my friends brussel sprout salad and that was delicious as well. This place is a whole vibe. We sat in the first room right by the hostess stand and the second room had a dj playing. Not sure if that's just a weekend thing though. We were here on a Friday night. There's a lot of cute places to take pictures and a lot of people were dressed up. This place is on the second floor right by the matcha maiko cafe. Parking was horrendous though. I had to park in the last lot by Trader Joes. I would definitely come back here and try the other pasta dishes. My friends mussel dish also looked really good and he really liked it. Also the brownie with vanilla ice cream was TO DIE FOR! I posted a video below with all of us fighting for a bite lol.

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.

The most recent was…read moreon a Thursday night around 10:30 p.m. This speakeasy is located on Mill Ave., the center of Tempe's party scene. Because of its location, parking isn't easy. If you're looking for free parking, you're going to have a long walk. Outside of that, you'll have to pay for parking in a garage or metered street parking. Ambiance (4/5): Hint hint. Idle Hands is located inside Devil's Hideaway. A true speakeasy shouldn't have signage outside indicating its location. Unfortunately, there's a sign for Idle Hands outside of Devil's Hideaway which takes away the sense of mystery and intrigue that a true speakeasy provides. Outside of this hiccup, it's a cool speakeasy. It's intimate, with 10 or so seats at the bar and about 10 seats in booths facing the bar. There's a projector screen behind the bar that had mystical motion graphics the first time I stopped by (thinking wizards) and Halloween motion graphics the second time (with it being a day before the holiday). There were some other Halloween decorations up. The only area of improvement? The music often doesn't match the vibe. A lot of the music they were playing on my last visit was Irish music that would be fitting for a pub. Service (4/5): I had the same bartender each time. He knows how to make a good drink and is pretty efficient. When you close out, he only gives you the merchant copy. Which is a pet peeve of mine. Let me get that customer copy too. But overall, a good experience. Especially at a college bar. Food (N/A): I've only had drinks both times. Idle Hands actually doesn't have food, but Devil's Hideaway does. And you're allowed to bring food from there into the speakeasy. Drinks (4.5/5): It's pretty surprising to see a speakeasy on a college campus. I was impressed with the creativity of the menu, both in terms of the ingredients used and the fusion of flavors. I've had a different cocktail each time, and they've all been great. My favorite was one served in a box filled with smoke. Talk about a cool presentation! The hallmarks of a solid speakeasy are elevated cocktails, nice ambiance (dimly lit), an intimate space, and mystery/intrigue. While the intrigue is lacking at Idle Hands, and the music can be improved, they hit it out of the park in the other areas. One of my favorite speakeasies I've been to in Phoenix (and surrounding areas). I am, after all, the self-appointed king of speakeasies. The king gives his stamp of approval.

We walked in and were immediately greeted by... absolutely no one. There was what might have been a hostess stand, or possibly a modern art installation--I'm still not sure. After doing a full lap like we were casing the place for a heist, we confirmed: no hostess, no sign, no clues. Just vibes. Naturally, we migrated to the bar like confused NPCs waiting for a quest. Stood there. Made eye contact. Practiced our "we are clearly humans who would like to eat" stance. Nothing. Not even a nod. At this point, I was considering ordering invisibility cloaks since we were clearly already wearing them. Finally, we move to the front of the bar where someone acknowledges us and says, "Oh yeah, just go to the hostess stand... she'll be back." Ah yes--the elusive hostess. A mythical creature. So we return to the podium of mystery and wait. Eventually, an older woman appears (possibly summoned by our collective confusion) and seats us. Progress. We sit down. No water. No greeting. No "hey, glad you solved the puzzle and made it to Level 2." Just silence. About 7 minutes later, two guys get seated right next to us. Within 4 minutes, a server rushes over to them like they're VIPs at a Vegas club and takes their drink order... while we're sitting there like decorative furniture. At that point, we realized we weren't dining--we were extras in someone else's restaurant experience. So we left. To whoever manages this place: you might want to check the tape. Not even to fix things--just to appreciate the full cinematic masterpiece of how impressively this all unfolded. Honestly, it'd make a great training video titled "What If We Just Didn't?" Would I come back? Only if there's a leaderboard next time so I know how close I was to unlocking the "Order Coffee" achievement.
