    Our service was amazing. We got there during happy hour a little after 4:30. Our server was a doll. I am so upset I forgot her name but she's from Alabama, and she was so good. She checked on us repeatedly. We had yummy drinks. Bananas foster old fashioned and passion fruit margaritas. My friend and I split salad from happy hour and the smash burger. The absolute best burger ever. The taste was good and juicy. We will be back because there's so much on the menu to try. We sat in the back dining inside which was away from the loudness and it was perfect.

    My friend and I want to gets cocktail somewhere before going to a bridal shower and she recommended this spot. We were seated right away at 11:15am on a Saturday. The patio had a lot of space and the inside was super cute. Our server was so funny and nice and walked us through the drink menu and we really appreciated it. We got a couple of drinks and both of them were extremely delicious. I will update my review once we come back and have time to try the food!

    Visited The Hidden House while in Chandler. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service started off a bit slow, but improved nicely once we were looked after. Popped in for happy hour -- entering through the patio made it a bit unclear that the hostess desk is inside, which led to a delay in getting service. Once things got going, though, the service was very good and attentive. Tried the burger and fries -- both were tasty -- and the cocktails and wine were well done. Overall, a nice, solid spot based on this visit and worth checking out again. Saluti.

    We came for a birthday celebration lunch. Sat inside but their outdoor space is beautiful and shaded. I asked if their outdoor area was dog friendly and was told it is not. Our reserved table was ready when we arrived and our server, Jackson, was great. Friendly and helpful, especially for those who wanted to order drinks. My wife order the Penicillin and liked it so much, she ordered a second one! This was a Jackson recommendation and although she isn't a big whisky drinker she loved the honey, lemon and ginger tones. One person ordered the Ramos Gin Fizz, which takes about 15-20 minutes to get because apparently it's shaken for that long! She said it was ok but has had better. Others had wine and beer and I opted for the fine vintage of water sans lemon! For starters I had the loaded house salad and it was good but once again, being the picky lettuce person I am...there was some of the salad that was just to wet and slimy for me. Loved the dressing and the addition of the pepitas to add crunch. I also order the crab cake, which was actually pretty good. Loved the Lemon Aioli! The cake itself was a tad over browned but full of crab and lovely tasting. Wife decided to get the BLT which was really good. Their bacon was cooked just right and served on sourdough toast with lettuce and tomato and what they call a tomato crema that was very good. Overall a really good sandwich. That came with some crispy, tender fries which were so good! Others ordered the double burger, which also comes with their fries and the Chicken Bacon Hoagie, which she said was a lot of bread...it's a hoagie!!! What a wonderful little gem in downtown Chandler; housed in an old house/cottage which has been expanded and we loved the outside areas. So glad we got to come!

    I appreciated the management team reaching out to encourage me to try again after my first experience was just okay. I'm glad I went back, this time with a friend for lunch, because it was a lovely meal. Our server was delightful. We sat outside on the partially enclosed patio, which had just enough protection from the elements to make it more comfortable. The drinks were top-notch. I repeated the fried frog's legs, and I liked the presentation better the second time: having the shaved celery salad on the side rather than on top preserved its crispiness. We got extra anchovies for the salad, so we didn't have to fight over them; a nice salty contrast to the crisp salad. The mac and cheese also had a nice textural element from the toasted panko. I'm glad I went back. Thanks to the management team for investing in customer service, which feels really rare nowadays.

    We came in for lunch with a group of six. It's a very cute restaurant with a beautiful outdoor seating area surrounded by trees and shade umbrellas. Tucked away from behind an outdoor mall and a block from Arizona Avenue, you don't hear the noise from the busy street which is nice. If you can find street parking that is a plus, otherwise you are jammed into a small parking lot that can be tough to get in and out with all the cars. Unfortunately the trees were dropping these little leaves everywhere so we had a few extra treats in our drinks and food. However, it was nice under the shaded trees as it was warm out. I didn't catch our servers name but she was very good. Never left us waiting. We all ordered cocktails & beer. I had an Aperol sprits which was not too sweet, just the way I like it. For lunch we ordered the BLT, Duck Melt, Korean BBQ Short Rib Hoagie, Double burger and Turkey melt. Everyone said they enjoyed their meals. Everything came with house fries. We were celebrating a birthday so our server brought an Oreo Brownie for the table. It was pretty good. Oreo Whipped Cream, Abuelita Brownie, Chocolate Syrup, Chocolate Shaving. This looks like a cute place for date night and small gatherings if you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion.

    Absolutely beautiful venue. The patio is gorgeous as well as the inside. The staff here were phenomenal. I got a Cosmo to drink. It was delicious. For the table we shared popcorn, shrimp, the brussels sprouts, and the crab-cakes. All of the appetizers were absolutely scrumptious. This was actually my favorite part of the meal. I ordered the salmon for my main course I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars. Could have been a bit more crispy and had a decent amount of dark meat. My colleague had the scallops said they were divine. Overall I had a really wonderful time here. Delightful little spot in downtown Chandler. If you're coming here though please do make sure to give yourself some time to park. Parking in this area could be pretty tricky. It's also a very cute little restaurant tucked away in the backside of downtown Chandler. So yummy would come back here again for sure.

    Amaretto cheesecake- excellent
    Vivian H.

    What a pleasant surprise to come here tonight and see a girlfriend for the holidays and catch up! This is a really pretty restaurant, classy and elegant and great for a date or a meaningful dinner. We came here for 7pm dinner on a Thursday and this place was jam packed. They were also having a wedding party in the back (I guess people do have weddings on Thursdays - wow). It would have been lovely to sit outside but everything was taken so we sat inside, which was also pretty nice, but outside was better. Definitely make a reservation if you want that prime outdoor seating. Waiter was excellent, came at the right times, very professional and did his job right. I had a kiwi cocktail which had a kick to it and it was great! Sort of like a margarita, but much better! My girlfriend and I shared some appetizers tapas style as neither of us were hungry enough to get entrees. We have the charred Brussel sprouts, the wagyu albondigas (meatballs) and the feta puffs. All were really amazing! The price point here is a bit higher, but well worth it as the food and service were excellent and the ambiance elegant yet cozy. For dessert, we shared the amaretto cheesecake and it was delicious and I dont even like amaretto that much! Overall, an excellent dining experience. My only gripe is that parking is a challenge around here during prime time but that just means you'll get more of your steps in! Definitely check this place out for fine dining! Id come back again!

    Beautiful restaurant tucked away in downtown Chandler, right next to Maple House... maybe that's what inspired the name! The space feels more like an event venue than a traditional restaurant, which gives it a unique and elegant vibe. The menu was simple, and both the food and drinks were good. However, more than half of the restaurant was closed due to private events, so the small number of guests (including us) were seated in what felt like a smaller side venue with a live musician playing. While the music was nice, the setup made the experience feel a bit off and less relaxed. Unfortunately, service also impacted our visit. Our server hovered quite a bit, and we felt rushed when the bill was placed on the table before we were even finished with our drinks. Overall, it's a lovely space with potential, but the experience didn't quite match the setting this time.

    Wagyu burger
    Naomi N.

    This local restaurant is absolutely adorable and full of charm. We sat outside on the patio for lunch and it was quite beautiful, with lots of white brick, sunlight, and flowers. We were seated almost immediately and our waitress was very attentive and so nice!! I was pleasantly surprised by the Asian-influenced dishes on the menu. I ordered the wagyu burger, while my friend went with the Korean BBQ hoagie. My wagyu burger was flavorful but my only critique would be the bread - it was a bit harder than I'd prefer and almost had a cracker-like texture. Not a dealbreaker, but something that stood out. The fries were pretty standard, nothing bad, just nothing particularly memorable either. Another plus is the parking situation -- there's convenient parking located just behind the restaurant, which made the visit even easier.

    We have been to the Hidden House a few times and loved it. It's located in downtown Chandler in a cute secluded setting. This past weekend, they had a private event so we were seated at the back. Food is great but they have happy hour only from 3-5pm and very reasonable. Service was great. All the servers seem to help each other and each are so attentive and nice. I recommend it

    Interior

    This spot really felt hidden as you go deeper into the restaurant and see that it actually had lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating had heaters too. I ordered the chili-ribeye with crab chimichurri. It was very good but pretty fatty. The serving size was huge though and the potatoes and vegetables had the best flavor. I also tried the espresso filet mignon which was the best. Super tender and melted in your mouth. Our appetizer was a butter board which was delicious. We could not get enough of the bread and sweet butter with seasonings. Dessert was yummy as well. We got the Oreo brownie which had a great spice flavor and is cold lot hot. Our service was super on top of it and great. Overall a great cozy experience with a fun Christmas feel this time of year.

    We were seated right away, and the ambiance was great--especially being seated outside. The general manager stopped by and recommended an excellent drink, which was a nice touch. For food, we tried the shrimp skewers, popcorn shrimp, filet mignon, and the pork chop. Everything was excellent--the flavors were spot on, and the quality was top-notch. Our server was very attentive throughout the meal, which made the experience even better. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with great service and high-quality food. Definitely recommend!

Be sure to stick around inside to get your coffee. They only bring your order to you if it's a pastry (at least that's what it seemed). It was pretty busy inside when my friend and I went, so we chose some chairs outside. They gave her a number for her pastry and brought it out, but we had to go up to the counter to find our drinks after waiting several minutes and wondering. That all would have been great info to know when ordering initially. Definitely will be returning! Side note: If you're familiar with downtown Chandler, this won't come as a surprise, but since I'm not a Chandler-regular, I was a little surprised at the lack of parking aside from parallel parking just in front of the actual coffee shop. Ended up parking in a free parking garage, but it was a little bit of a walk to the coffee shop from the parking garage.

In 2025 we couldn't stop raving about this place the food was amazing the service was impeccable. This last visit this weekend was disappointing. My partner ordered the beef wellington which was excellent and I ordered the duck which was...unexpected. The black cherry confit seemed non-existent, I think I actually got the same sauce that was on the Wellington. I didn't say anything because I wasn't sure and the duck was prepared well so I just let it go. The creme brulee dessert was a disaster. The first order came out black and I told the waiter there was something wrong with it immediately. He had mentioned he was new so I'm guessing he wasn't sure what it was supposed to look like. I tried to crack into it and the top just molded with the spoon so I asked him to take it back because it was not right. I watched him show it to someone, who I was told was the owners son, and they sent another. The owners son dropped it off the table and said, this should be more to my liking and walked away. Well it was only slightly less burnt but it did crack so I tried it. Sugar was definitely burnt, you could taste it, and the custard was dripping wet instead of solid. I showed this to the other waiter who was helping and she understood immediately and took it back. She said let's just get you the lava cake instead and I said fine. It's too bad because the flavor on the custard itself was excellent and I was really looking forward to it. Needless to say I was disappointed when the dessert was not taken off the bill after all we had been through with it. I expect more when dinner for two costs almost $200.

I also got Margherita pizza, which wasn't my favorite but this is very much personal preference and I am very picky about pizza. Too much cheese and not the right cheese. But a nice amount of basil! My friends had the chicken parm and the short rib pasta and enjoyed them. They had a chocolate mousse as a dessert special which was tempting but alas I had over ordered already. Our server was attentive and friendly. All in all a nice neighborhood option with a varied menu for different preferences.

    A very pleasant evening at Pesto's. We had a reservation for 5:00PM and we arrived about 15…read moreminutes early. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and brought straight to a good table in spite of our early arrival. Within a couple of minutes Erin our server came to introduce herself. We began with cocktails. A double Makers Mark on the rocks and a straight-up Tito's martini. Both done just as we like them and generous. First course was the Calamari. We're former New Yorkers so being a Calamari snob is expected. This offering, which delivered a bit of Scungilli as well, was really done well. Not heavy on the bread crumbs and not at all rubbery. The accompanying sauce was very tasty. We followed up splitting a Caesar Salad that we devoured. When we ordered our entree, Linguini and White Clam sauce, we asked Erin about the portions and she read us well. She suggested that we might be overwhelmed by the size of it so we split that also. Turned out to be a great idea. We devoured that too. Done just the way I like it. So good that I ordered a glass of Italian white wine to go with it. Normally, we don't have dessert but, Erin didn't bring the dessert menu. She just looked right at us and said: "We have the best carrot cake in the entire valley"! I must say that presentation was tough to look down my nose at so we split an order of carrot cake. I think I can say it really was the most interesting and best carrot cake I have ever had. Throughout the entire meal Erin kept an eye on us and made sure there wouldn't be a reason for us to wave her over. She's definitely a pro. She was even nice enough to laugh at my really bad jokes. A shout-out to the food runners as well. They were on time, friendly and polite. In closing, I have to salute the management. The dining room was clean, organized, and nicely appointed. They have attracted a pretty nice clientele if my observations were correct. There was plenty of conversations happening but no shouting or yelling. It is just a comfortable place to have a nice dinner out. I highly recommend this restaurant. Give it a try. PS: They seemed unusually appreciative of us making a reservation both on the phone and at the restaurant. Make a reservation, it will be a good start to your evening. ENJOY!

    Came for dinner on Saturday at 6pm. We called the restaurant a few days ahead to make a reservation…read moreas they do not have an online reservation option. Showed up and the restaurant was relatively busy with only a few open tables inside. The restaurant has a fish tank with some large fish which was cool. We were immediately greeted to get drink orders. We ended up ordering the 10 inch Tuscan pizza (it came cut into 6 slices). We also ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca. After about 15-20 minutes both dishes arrived. The Chicken Saltimbocca was outstanding. The flavor was delicious. Would highly recommend. The Tuscan pizza was also great. We were worried it might be dry but did not have a problem. Overall, the meal was wonderful and we will definitely come back to try more. Our server was kind and efficient and overall it was an awesome meal.

    Bottle & Bean is my favorite coffee place near me. It has a great vibe with a beautiful patio area…read moreand cozy seating inside. You order at a counter and the staff will bring food to your table. My favorite item is the breakfast sandwich. The brioche is tasty, the eggs are extremely fluffy, and the sausage has nice flavor. The garlic aioli helps bring it all together. For coffee, I like the King, but make sure to order it half sweet. It has a perfect balance that way. The cold foam on top is delicious. There are plenty of events going on here too. Bottle & Bean regularly schedules live music to play throughout the month on their lawn. They also have wine, so it is a great spot for morning and evening. The staff are very friendly and attentive too!

    I just love bottle and bean! They are a total vibe. I've come solo, w friends, and even sometimes…read morebring my little dog and each time has been a postive time. I especially love their music nights on the grass/turf. Their outdoor area is such a draw. I even did a morning Pilates session there once that was held I think once per month on a Saturday by Haia Studio Nextdoor who is also a standout for Downtown Ocotillo! I love seeing them working together... I love their coffees and drinks! However, the only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that their food menu is lacking and it takes so long to get it when you do order something. For instance I once ordered some sort of pastry I think it was banana bread, and it tasted like the Starbucks one that come prepackaged like airplane food and it took 35 minutes until it was delivered to my table. Another time I ordered a breakfast scramble or similar w Potato wedges and it tasted like something microwaved and took over 40 minutes to get ...so personally I just stick w drinks when I come here. But if they ever upgrade their food menu I'll come back and give it 5!
