    The food was delicious i believe i just had an appetizer and a few drinks, the ambiance is nice and cozy and the service is impeccable.

    The Grand Tree for Christmas.

    We sat outside for a nice glass of wine. The view is remarkable as the hotel is decorated for Christmas. Outdoor heaters and two firepits with plenty of tables or couches. Relaxing and just what we needed after a long day of shopping and site seeing. Wine selection is decent and the variety of nuts was complementary. Do mind the birds as they will join you at the table if you don't brush them away. Service was very good and didn't engage but would be there with a nod.

    Indulge yourself. Go ahead, carve out an hour or two of your precious time for a happy hour retreat that will not only recharge your body and mind, but also invigoration your palate with refreshing libations and culinary mastery! Centrally located within minutes from any destination is The Wright Bar. This neighborhood gem is one of the many sparkling highlights awaiting to delight your visit to the historic Arizona Biltmore. The Wright Bar is not a sprawling, nor congested mega-lounge. It's a gentle retreat, thoughtfully tucked away just off the main east wing of the lobby main concourse. Only a dozen chairs provide at-bar seating, with an array of comfortable over-stuffed petite lounge sofas and chairs, for more intimate cocktail and tasty-bites enjoyment. The Wright Bar is the perfect perch to people watch, celebrity stargaze, or even more tantalizing, to just pretend that you are an "A" list who's-who incognito to paparazzi wannabes! It's also the perfect seat to peer at some of the resent $70 million dollar Arizona Biltmore renovations. The staff is friendly, inviting and incredibly knowledgeable in suggesting the perfect refreshment and selections from the delicious happy hour bar menu that are certain to delight! My favorites are the Spanish Meats and Cheeses Charcuterie Board with Grilled Baguette, and the Smoked Salmon Tostada. For the Arizona locals, no longer must a "Stay-cation" be an entire week, or even a weekend. Why not try a mini "Stay-cation" at The Wright Bar Today?

    Swanky and strong!

    THE place where the world famous beverage "tequila sunrise" was invented. Cozy and comfortable on a Thursday night for a cocktail before dinner.

    Wright Bar has an amazing relaxed feel to it's decor and it immediately invites you in. Stopped by as we have friends in town staying at the resort. It was a Weekend day but they were not busy at least inside. We were the only table at the time with two people at the bar. We took a table inside and waited and waited but we think we had a concrete pillar blocking the one server from seeing our table. We got up and relocated to a more visible location. The service while very friendly was SLOW! Slow to get a server slow to get our drinks slow to get our food, slow to get our bill. Drinks while expensive are tasty, The Wright Way martini is my favorite, cranberry, triple sec and "bubbles" very refreshing, friends had the tequila sunrise (I had already had it there) my partner had the Rusty Nail since he is a fan of whiskey. They bring a trio of small plates to nibble on, pistachios, cashews and something else I forgot, all were relatively tasteless but hey you can't argue with free. Fried Brussels sprouts were tasty with a good aioli sauce (I ate most of them as I think I am the only person I know who loves Brussels sprouts) toast with goat cheese, olives and mustard was okay. Not a bad experience I guess everyone there is just in a laid back vacation mood including the staff. I just hate slow service when a place isn't busy.

    This is an intimate bar nestled inside the lovely Arizona Biltmore Hotel. I came here with a group of friends to enjoy a drink for my girlfriend's birthday. We were told that this is the bar where Angela Bassett and Wesley Snipes shared an intimate bar conversation and Lord knows what else. Three drinks cost us $47 Before tip.

    the total Ambiance of the Wright bar is are stucking! granite counter top around..plush bar stools..this is the lap of luxury! I had 2x Barrel Aged Bourbon Block drinks... all I can say is this bar mixture and libation is something out of a chemist how to manual to bartend! My bartender says her boss mixes this concoction and only tells the high points of this drink. Is wonderful yet powerful blend that's easy on the palate and a great evening starter...A+++

    Wow. All I can is what a restaurant! Came here on a Wednesday night 3 weeks before Christmas and…read moreit was a vibe. Secluded upstairs dining area with heaters available. Excellent service, a Christmas tree upstairs, and no reservations required. Glad they were able to seat us considering we showed up without reservations. Downstairs gets quickly reserved so seats upstairs are where they push overflow patrons. Right outside Flint's doors downstairs there is a staircase which opens up to the upstairs dining area. Service was prompt, and we got our drinks by the time we had our mains decided. I got a glass of red to pair with my steak. My partner had a refreshing cocktail, but it was decent. The highlights of the night were the food. SO MUCH FOOD! And it was TERRIFIC! For starters we got the artichoke hummus. It sounded a bit weird, but all it was was regular hummus with 4 artichoke hearts that were crispy. The artichoke hearts were crisp, but moist, and I could have kept eating those all day. It comes with 1 pita bread. The server told us to order another and we did, turns out we needed it as the pita breads were quite small ($3 +). Sure only 3 bucks, but nickel and dime if you are spending $14 on an app... For mains I got the filet medium rare with a side of regular potatoes. My partner got the salmon skewer with a side of asparagus. Both the dishes were cooked perfectly and they were familiar dishes with a slightly exotic touch to it. Must be the middle eastern part of the restaurant. The steak came with a ganache or accompaniments of middle eastern sides. Can't recall what they were but they were great when I dipped my potatoes in them. It was sour, tart, acidic, kind of like middle eastern soy sauce. The server recommended it to us and we got it. The salmon skewer came with 5 decent sized pieces on it. Great for a small eater or someone who doesn't want their own meal. It too was delicious and had light touches of sauce or smoke on it. The asparagus is a favorite. It was cooked as usual, typical steak side and both me and my partner enjoyed it! For dessert, as it was my partners birthday the server comped the pound cake. While it was delicious, it was definitely the letdown of the meal. It was way too sweet including the layer of cream that it was doused with. The sweat cream wasn't necessary as the pound cake was incredibly sweet itself. Also, the pound cake wasn't soft like normal cake. It was quite dry once you peeled away the creme layer up top. I definitely should have gone with the Chocolate Ganache Tart. But their mess up worked in their favor. I'm definitely coming back for another meal at Flint!

    Upstairs at Flint is just as AMAZING as inside the restaurant! The food is STILL on 1000% DELISC!…read morethe Service is PERFECT as always! and the ambiance is STELLAR! A beautiful view of the Camelback Mountains. We had a reservation but decided on sitting upstairs, instead. I love that the hostess' are very nice about giving you the options.

Sunny's Lounge was in the area, and I had passed by it before, so I decided to stop by on a Saturday night. They have a small parking lot and I was able to find a spot. If you can't find a spot, you can park for free on a side stret. Ambiance (4/5): Dive-ish is a nice way to put it. Small. But also homey and cool. There's a pool table in the corner with some seating that surrounds it. Plus some seating at the bar. Service (5/5): Friendly and attentive service. Which goes a long way. I was greeted promptly, the bartender answered my questions, and he was friendly. Everything I look for at a bar. Food (N/A): I had dinner earlier that night, so I was on a liquid diet, but Sunny's does have a limited menu mainly consisting of snacks and hot dogs. While I didn't try any of the food, there is some creativity with their food options, so I'd like to give them a try next time around. Drinks (4.5/5): While Sunny's is dive-ish, they are known for their cocktails. And they have an interesting list of creative craft cocktails to choose from. Including some tiki drinks that seem to be a collaboration with Undertow, a nearby tiki bar. Perhaps they're owned by the same people? Either way, I liked it. There's sophistication in their cocktails, which I'm always a fan of. Sunny's is a cool spot. My preference would be to go on a weekday, because if you're trying to play pool, one pool table is not enough when there's a crowd.

House salad was simple and clean, while the beef short rib was super tender and flavorful. It required no assistance from my knife. Lastly, we closed the night with a platter of different desserts.

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!
