From the food to the service, everything was chef's kiss! It was our first time there, so we weren't sure what to order. Our server was absolutely AMAZING. She was so kind, patient, and genuinely helpful with her recommendations. I asked if they had raspberry or peach sweet iced tea, and instead of just saying no, she literally came up with her own concoction for me! That little extra touch meant so much. She even took the time to chat with us about where we were headed because we had a flight to catch. She was incredibly friendly, personable, and made us feel like more than just another table. And THE FOOD?! Absolutely delicious. We especially loved the shrimp dish so much that we ordered TWO more plates to go so we could eat them at the gate while waiting for our flight! lol That should tell you everything you need to know. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, but honestly, the customer service is what made this visit unforgettable. This woman deserves ALL the recognition because she was giving A1 service from beginning to end. I actually called the restaurant afterward because I wanted to find out her name, and I was told Ashley. I really hope that's the right girl because that name definitely rings a bell! If it is her, Ashley, THANK YOU! You were so kind to my mom and me and made our experience so special. So if you're in the Phoenix area, ruuuuuuun!!!

Don't recommend this spot if having a drink is a part of your plan. The fish and breading was bland, and the fries very very salty. It was not memorable by any means. They had a large sized menu though so there's options to consider if maybe what we got just wasn't very good. Overall, I didn't like my experience here and likely will not be back.

The food, the service, the atttentive-ness (shoutout to Shelby! She was so sweet and loved the whole dining experience with her) the ambiance is ALWAYS good. This time of year is especially my favorite with the doors open, the light breeze, the dimly lit interior, greenery, landscaping, it's just a vibe and I honestly don't ever want to go anywhere else. The seafood tower is our favorite! Every single thing is SO fresh, the best we've ever had, buttery, fresh, and delicious. They also don't skimp on portion size. Their drinks are super yummy, I love the Diego Riveria drink! So good. Great wine selection. The shrimp risotto was super yummy the pan seared salmon! Also, we've had their sushi and oysters rockerfeller and they are both outstanding. Thanks for sharing your amazing restaurant and staff with us! Cheers. We will be back again soon.

I recently tried Buck & Rider during Resaturant Week, and overall, it was a mixed experience…read more Let's start with the good: 1. I was seated quickly and the service was good. 2. They have complimentary valet. 3. The espresso martini, voodoo fried rice, and the steak and fries were all very delicious. Now, what could be improved: 1. The caesar salad was dry and basic. It definitely needed more dressing and more flavor. 2. The mocktail was a major miss. It taste like soap or cleaning products. It was essentially an overpriced glass of pure awfulness and disappointment. 3. I wish there were more than one dessert option. The small cookie and the average tasting gelato just didn't do it for me. I gave it 3/5 this time, but I might give it another try in the future.

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%!!!

My family and I have been coming here for years, today we went to celebrate my sister's graduation,…read morethis is her favorite restaurant. Their house blend is the best sauce I've ever had, that alone is what keeps us coming back, I believe it is a Viet style Cajun sauce. We usually get the build your own combo, with crawfish, snow crab, and a few appetizers like french fries, garlic noodles, and onion rings. I believe they have changed management recently, or in the past few years. Although the sauce remains delicious, the food quality seems to be falling, and I see that they have a few food safety violations listed on their Yelp. The garlic noodles were swimming in the watery sauce, and the Cajun fries were not tossed, just sprinkled on top. The restaurant has never been that busy when we go, and there is usually is only one server doing all the hosting, food running, and waitressing. Ours seemed to be a little stressed today, and did not refill our drinks as much as we would've preferred, and forgot things like our salt and pepper. We will probably still keep coming just for that sauce, but looks like the restaurant has a few things to work out to bring back its former glory.

I picked the garlic and lemon pepper. well unfortunately they use the garlic that is already crushed and cut and not fresh garlic in their food and they overcooked the crab and if you do get the lobster tail, they give you 1 whole lobster tail cut in half for two people and they give you lots of shrimp, I mean a lot of shrimp compared to anything else in that seafood broil bag had they overcooked all the sea food and they used a lot of that crushed already diced garlic. That did not make the food Taste good at all. They put way too much garlic in it, and the food was impossible to eat because it was overcooked and it was rubbery. I was very disappointed on how much money I spent . if I knew in advance that they had a family emergency and was closing 1 hour early I would've waited and come back the next day and maybe the food would've have tasted a lot better. It was the lobster seafood boil for two couples, and I bought two sets for four couples. Just beware that if they're in a hurry, try not to be in a hurry to eat here. You probably get a better experience than what my family did. I've been to crab shacks before that has seafood boil and they were way better and not so stingy for the price they charge you. when I was there, there was only one family sitting at a table. The rest of the restaurant was empty. The waitress she was very friendly and very nice and very accommodating.
