Southwest Grilled Shrimp Salad.  Meh
Jane M.

Overpriced and underwhelmed to say the least. This restaurant inside hotel. Ordered Chicken Caesar Salad and Southwest Grilled Shrimp Salad. It took 40 minutes to do 2 salads to go. It was basically lettuce mix with the protein and some dressing. Proteins were cooked well but the dressing and salad didn't were nothing special. I've had WAY better salads. My friend ordered pasta with just butter and cheese and it took over an hour.

"Bruschetta" nice attention to detail; the chef didn't even bother to cut the servings in half.
Josie M.

This place is absolutely awful. The staff is hostile (fair they work in a glorified motel) the food is awful. The kitchen staff gives (pardon my French) absolutely ZERO f*cks. The bruschetta we ordered was awful and plated so poorly it was almost inedible. Our drinks were lackluster at best. The bartender was sitting at a table chatting with other guests as we left. Everything about our experience was unprofessional. I have no idea how this restaurant has such great reviews. Maybe the embassy suites gives people a discount for a five star review? Avoid this place at all costs if you're at all discernible about quality.

My view while enjoying food on the patio!

I ordered a burger and sweet potato fries. The burger was cooked exactly as I ordered. The first were hot and delicious! Relaxing on the patio in the amazing late afternoon breeze made for a great meal after traveling all day. My server, Bryan, was pleasant and competent. My meal was served promptly and he was quite attentive to my needs. I truly enjoyed this meal and this location. Relaxing and enjoying.

This is just for the bar itself. Located inside the Embassy Suites. Decent bar and plenty of tables inside and out. They do server food but it was all about the liquor for me. Prices were very affordable and the pours were very heavy. The bartender is good and he evens remembers you. Good place for some beverages.

SOCIETY! What a beautiful little hidden gem in Tempe! And WOW, what a wonderful experience!…read more First, a little tip on finding this place. Society is located on the second floor of the plaza, and you might actually walk right past the entrance! If the line for Tempe Improv gets long, it can partially block the double doors. Just look carefully, and you'll find your way in! Once you walk inside, it's like stepping into a completely different world! The atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous! Romantic, trendy, a little glamorous, and definitely POPPIN'! Between the beautiful chandeliers, cascading flowers, colorful lighting, and stylish décor, I couldn't stop looking around. Whoever designed this place did a fantastic job! We had reservations, and I would HIGHLY recommend making them. This place can fill up quickly, and I can certainly understand why! Now, let's talk about the FOOD! Several people had recommended that we try the Whipped Feta appetizer, so of course we had to order it. OH MY GOODNESS! This was hands down one of the most delicious appetizers I've had in a LONG time! The whipped feta was creamy, with this wonderful honey combination in the middle that brought everything together beautifully. Paired with the bread, it was absolutely fantastic! I'm not kidding when I say I could've ordered that appetizer and made an entire meal out of it! LOL! If you visit Society, PLEASE try the whipped feta! For dinner, I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, which came with their spinach-infused pasta. And WOW, that was delicious too! The pasta was wonderful, the sauce was flavorful, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Definitely not your ordinary Alfredo! My friend ordered the Penne alla Vodka, which looked delicious, although I didn't get a chance to sample it. Guess that gives me another reason to return! And can we talk about the SERVICE?! Absolutely wonderful! Our server was attentive, friendly, and always checking on us to make sure everything was taken care of. We never felt forgotten, and everything flowed so nicely throughout our dinner. Then came a little surprise! They found out we were celebrating my birthday and brought out a birthday dessert! How sweet was that?! I certainly wasn't expecting it, and it made an already wonderful evening even more special. Between the amazing atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent customer service, Society really impressed me. Would I return? ABSOLUTELY! HANDS DOWN! This is a wonderful place for a date night, birthday celebration, or just an evening out with friends. It's beautiful, lively, and has the food and service to back it up. And you better believe I'm ordering that whipped feta again! In fact, I might not even share it next time! LOL! Thank you, Society, for such a memorable birthday dining experience!

I come here pretty regularly and it honestly never disappoints! I've never had a bad meal here. The…read moreambiance is sooo cute, very girly and definitely a photo worthy spot. It's a little dark inside, but the flowers are gorgeous and they even have the cutest little fairy garden box! The service didn't catch my attention but I'm sure they did fine. Food wise, the pasta alla vodka is pretty good. I've definitely had better, but it's still enjoyable! The truffle fries were delicious, and the chicken orzo was actually really tasty. Definitely a place I enjoy coming back to! The bathroom photo op area is beyond beautiful!

Allison and Les (apologies for any misspelling) took great care of us and checked in often. Menus were also recently updated with the change. Ordered the Gold Rush cocktail and the Miso Ocean Trout for dinner. The cocktail was done very well with a good balance between the alcohol and flavoring. The trout was probably one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. The miso paired so well with the dynamic sauce and the fish along with the sticky coconut rice and greens. I also took a bite of my friend's The Boar sandwich and it was delicious - fries were amazing. Will definitely be back!! Also, parking's a little tough since Postino's in the same plaza, but they do offer a discount if you ride share!

I made a reservation and had planned to meet my sister and friend here. Though I had made at 1:30pm, I didn't realize the restaurant closes at 2pm on Sunday's. I called to confirm the time speaking with both Allison and the GM who were very kind in answeriing my questions. I usually don't dine at restaurants first thing when they open or right before closing, but we made it before 1:30pm and it was great. There were a handful of people dining in so I was relieved that we weren't the only ones there at that time. Allison was our server and she was really great! Very friendly and excellent customer service. The bartender was awesome as well. He had greeted us upon entering and brought waters to the table. They were only offering brunch which worked out because the jerk chicken sandwich I wanted to try was on that menu. OMG this sandwich was delicious although I couldn't taste any jerk seasoning on the chicken maybe due to the amount of mango slaw. I ordered the truffle fries which were excellent. The food was served hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. Next visit will be for happy hour food and drinks :)

We got the Chicken Tinga Nachos as an appetizer and it was a perfect amount for the 4 of us. I got a burger and it was pretty delish. One thing I will say is their sweet potato fries definitely do not taste fresh, I'd guess they are frozen/sysco but what else do ya expect nowadays? We got the s'mores pizookie for dessert and I really enjoyed it. It's baked to order so it takes a little bit but I thought it was worth it. And if that's not your thing, Menchies is right next door and always a treat. Tons of games and such and they even had trivia on the TV. Just a really great neighbourhood spot!

Everything seemed fresh and the presentation was on point as well. The service was good and for a large party, she was polite, friendly and mostly on top of things The bad- and I'm willing to take some of the responsibility on this one. We had a party and booked it for outside, as we were told they have misters and it's in the shade and very doable. Part of that was correct- their misters weren't working. There was no real attempt to move us inside, other than splitting up a birthday party across the restaurant. The main issue is that no one told us- I had to go inside and ask why they aren't on. Not a great look, but I'll be back to try them again.

Restaurant week is great for discovering new places you haven't been before. This was our chance…read moreto visit Espiritu in Mesa. There is construction in front so you walk through plywood walls to get to the entrance but the party is inside. The atmosphere is relatively dark and they have VERY old Mexican themed shows on the tv. They also have an incredible drink menu which my adult Daughter took full advantage. The service was also excellent as she tried to decide between drinks. Our waiter was very helpful and they always made sure we had enough water or anything we needed. The start of the prix fixe menu that week was clams or Birria Dumplings. Hello.....Dumplings! Is that really a choice. Went right for the dumplings and thrilled I did. There were a couple dumplings swimming in a red consume that was truly deep in flavor. The wrappers were tender and the beef inside even more so. It was so great, I would return just for those. Next we had the Chicken. I love dark meat and my son-in-law loves the white meat. We started to laugh when they presented a bowl with 2 legs to me and one with a breast for him. We laughed and asked, "How did you know". Both were fantastic. Again, incredible depth of flavor with the sauce, delicious roasted green chile and tasty potato discs. It was great and the legs were big! Finally, for dessert, I went with the Bourbon Flan. Very smooth and creamy with a great flavor and sauce topped with some Bourbon Whipped cream. I will definitely be back to try the Flank steak which a nearby table raved about.

Decided to give this place a try since everyone has been raving about the Smashburger there…read more I'll be honest, I don't see the hype. Is the food bad? no, but it is great? Also no. The menu is quite unique I.e Birria dumplings etc. It just didn't blow me away. Plus it's a little overpriced for my opinion. Now the service and the drinks, phenomenal. Now would I be back? Probably not unless it's for a nice cocktail
