The atmosphere inside is relaxed yet sophisticated with an overwhelming feeling of being in on a secret no one else knows, so cool! We happened to come early enough in the day to where getting a table wasn't an issue but I would say make a reservation when coming as it is limited seating and absolutely worth it. I came with my husband and my bestie for some birthday cocktails and bites. We were actually lucky enough to have our Uber driver point out the door on the way in, I don't want to give away any secrets but keep an eye out for a door marked with the goose silhouette. It was very back-door, hush hush The cocktails were fantastic! The Clover Club was by far my favorite but everything we got was wonderful! I definitely recommend getting some bites while you're there too, we got the charcuterie board and it was plenty for the three of us. Nick took great care of us, making excellent recommendations throughout our visit but the star of the show was Miss Bella! She was so sweet right off the bat, welcoming us in and wishing me a very happy birthday! She very clearly takes a lot of personal pride in her customer care and it shows! Plus, her nails?? Gorgeous! We really had a great time and will definitely be back soon! Thank you The Goose for a wonderful birthday!

I stopped by The Madam for drinks on a Tuesday evening. I had a reservation at 8 p.m. Located at…read moreThe Scottsdale Resort in McCormick Ranch, I had some initial issues with the parking situation. What looks like free parking in the self-parking area actually isn't. There's a sign that says you have to pay for parking with a QR code. Parking is only free for 30 minutes. I called the hotel to inquire about parking and they didn't answer. After walking to the front desk, we were told that valet is validated at the speakeasy. I'm not a fan of valet, but I'll take free valet service (minus the tip) over paying more for self parking. Now, let's get to the good stuff. As the self-appointed king of speakeasies, I'm back with another one. Ambiance: (4.5/5): I won't give all of the clues away, but walk to the third floor, look for a book shelf, and you're on the right track. Once you get inside, you'll find an intimate speakeasy. We're talking seating for 12 or so people or so, tops. I imagine getting a seat on a weekend is quite tough, so take that into account and make a reservation. When you do, you'll find out that there's a $25 cancellation fee per person if you cancel within 24 hours of your reservation. I understand that no shows negatively impact restaurants/bars, but I absolutely hate when the cost of doing business is passed off on customers. I'm reliable, but if I'm going with someone else, and they cancel, now I'm in a tough spot. Anyways, I loved the ambiance at The Madam. Think dark wood, sophistication, and some cowboy vibes. The seating was comfortable, too. Service (4.5/5): Minus the parking snafu, our bartender did an absolute awesome job taking care of us. She was friendly and attentive throughout. They were perfecting a new drink menu and even offered us two drinks on the house. Which was much appreciated! We were lucky, for sure. Food (N/A): While they do have food, I was on a liquid diet on this visit. Drinks (4/5): When I go to a speakeasy, I'm looking for creativity. You'll find that here for the most part, though I wish the list of craft cocktails was a little larger. There were only two or so cocktails that struck my fancy. I went with the one with green chartreuse, which is always a treat. But, when I'm at a speakeasy, I'm hoping that at least half of the selection intrigues me. Despite the limited selection, the cocktails are well made and have an interesting blend of flavors. The Madam is a true speakeasy (no signage and an ambiance which is true to the history of speakeasies), which makes them a winner in my book.

The speakeasy itself is small, cute, and cozy, with a very dark, intimate interior that instantly sets the mood. We commented that it would be an excellent spot for a date night. The bartender was especially impressive. She was very knowledgeable and attentive. He took the time to create a custom drink for my friend, and she absolutely loved it. I ordered an espresso martini made with rum, which was interesting and different from the usual vodka version. We didn't order food this time since we stopped in before our dinner reservation elsewhere, but other tables had food that looked great. I'd love to come back specifically to try their food along with more cocktails. Overall, a great little speakeasy with solid drinks, great service, and a cozy vibe. I'd definitely return.

We had a good meal and I give this place 5 stars alone for the Nueske "bacon steak" we had as part of the restaurant week set menu. Swear to god that thick cut pork belly essentially, was amazing. But maybe it's not as surprising as it should have been that they closed up. The night we went for dinner, the service was painfully slow, and not for us, for our neighbors at the table next to us. I feel like it took forever for them to get things and we had the same server. It appeared to us, that the servers were short staffed. Maybe they were already paring down in anticipation of closing. Seems unlikely it was not known given how recently we went. All in all, we had a great meal and I'm glad we went while it was still open.

Can't say this place wasn't good, but I also can't say it blew me away…read more My husband and our friends all got the California burger. They all enjoyed their meals immensely (they had the Brussels sprouts and the bread to start, no one complained but also no one finished off these appetizers either)... I myself got the salmon entree, ditched the sides that came with it and instead got another side of salmon and a side of rotisserie chicken. Both pieces of salmon were moist and juicy, and the rotisserie chicken was actually really good too, I was honestly expecting it to be dry. So over all, everything I got was tasty and cooked the way I asked it to be (no butter) but it wasn't a meal that I will think about after the fact. Over all though, everyone seemed happy and the waitress was pleasant and the ambiance was "cool" and "hip".

Our server, Chris, was really nice and friendly. For drinks, we got the Left Hand Milk Stout, Cucumber Cooler, and Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita. The Cucumber Cooler was refreshing, but the Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita was definitely my favorite. For food, we tried the Wagyu Sliders, Lamb Meatballs, Deviled Eggs, and Southwest Cobb Salad. The Wagyu Sliders were juicy and tasty, and I really liked the caramelized onions. The Lamb Meatballs were flavorful. The Deviled Eggs could've used a little more mustard, but they were still good. The Southwest Cobb Salad was tasty and came with a good portion. The restaurant is pretty spacious, but the tables are set close together, so it can feel a little crowded. Glad we came here and gave it a try. I try, I review, I check it off my list, but I might have to come back for that Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita.
