If you can't find a free place.
Barry Y.

It was Saturday night. Wally's and its surroundings were jumping. If you were not lucky and needed a parking spot, a valet would do you the favor for was $8. (please see photo) While not listed on the menu, the tip amount you choose will appear on your bill. What you see printed is the "out the door price". The service was very good. For a $21 plate of what they called "Pasta", it was $27.49 including tip and tax. It's lovely to be able to sit outside. It wasn't noisy. The music was soft.. The temperature was fine. If you look up, though, you will see that Wally's has misters for those hot nights. There is also an indoor seating area. It looks like it will seat as many as were outside. It's a place for all seasons. No one in my party of five complained about the food. We all liked the service. Mine was Pasta with Meatballs, Spinach and Mushrooms. The food was very hot (temperature) and full-flavored. The sauce was thick and smooth, made from tomatoes. Nothing very fancy, but very satisfying in taste and portion size. Nice place, maybe that's why it's so crowded on Saturday

Wally's a good old standard for American fare. Patio is great for people watching coming in and out of all of the small business and boutiques. Happy hour is a great deal if on a budget. Recommendations from previous visit as well as this one - fish and chips, beef stroganoff, cheese sticks, meatballs, quesadillas and any cocktail you can think of. Service is always friendly and fast.

Great view.

Stopped in for the first time to Wally's and it certainly will not be the last. The prime rib dip was outstanding, wife had the skillet Mac n Cheese and it was perfectly prepared and delicious. Enjoyed the outdoor patio and the great service we received. Plus the view of Camelback from the patio was a nice bonus. Will definitely be back.

Wings with sauce on the side veg the buffalo!

Get the wings!!!! Sauce on the side! Get the buffalo! The wings are huge! Very filling! Also get the sweet potato fries!!!!!!! Service was good. Ice tea was good as well.

Our family has been coming to Wally's American Pub for over 20 years, and it remains one of our favorite spots in Phoenix for comfort food, great service, and affordable prices. We always start with a local brewery draft (right now we're hooked on Church Music) before diving into our go-to dishes. Portions here are huge, so plan to share! The Artichoke Dip is a must, and the Caramelized Vidalia Onion Soup is another family favorite. For mains, my wife and daughter swear by the Beef Stroganoff, while I like to rotate between the Stuffed Pork Chop, Meatloaf, Pot Roast, or Liver and Onions. Don't miss the Mashed Horseradish Potatoes, they are the perfect sidekick. And yes, always save room for dessert. The White Chocolate Bread Pudding is legendary, and we still end up taking leftovers home for a late-night snack. This is one of our top "celebration restaurants," (Kid Friendly) where we know the food, drinks, and service will always make the night special. Highly recommended!

Service and patio tipped this review a bit-our server was wonderful! We went with 2 comfort food dishes and both were solid. We will return!

Prime rib dip sandwich with fries and creamy horseradish
Tawna S.

What a great pub! Our server was super friendly and recommended some dishes since it was our first time. We had the halibut special with horseradish potatoes and the prime rib dip sandwich. The food was great, and the leftovers were delicious the next day as well. We will definitely be coming here again.

Chelsea's Kitchen is one of those places that really captures what makes dining in Arizona so…read moreenjoyable. The outdoor patio is beautiful, with string lights, a brick fireplace, and surrounding trees that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's a fantastic setting for dinner, especially when the weather is nice. We had quite the spread, including the Chicken Nachitos, Green Chile Cornbread, LGO Short Rib Tacos, Ribeye Tacos, and Green Chile Burger. The nachitos were piled high with chicken, melted cheese, guacamole, fresh pico de gallo, and jalapeños. Although they're no longer listed on the current menu, I wanted to include them because they were part of our experience. I actually appreciate how Chelsea's Kitchen changes its menu over time, giving guests something different to look forward to while keeping some familiar favorites. The Green Chile Burger was another standout in presentation, featuring roasted green chiles and melted cheddar, with macaroni and cheese on the side. The short ribs and grilled ribeye came with colorful accompaniments, including guacamole, pico de gallo, and a kale salad. The Green Chile Cornbread was also beautifully presented in a small skillet with a golden crust and butter on the side. We also tried the Brussels Sprout Salad with manchego, almonds, dried fruit, and bacon, which offered a nice contrast to the heartier dishes. The cocktails were thoughtfully presented, and we finished the evening with key lime pie and a refreshing sorbet. Beyond the food, the patio is what makes Chelsea's Kitchen particularly memorable. Between the fireplace, warm lighting, and lively but comfortable atmosphere, it's the kind of place where you can easily spend an entire evening catching up with friends or family. The service here is always amazing and feels like a concierge level service. Overall, Chelsea's Kitchen offers a wonderful combination of Southwestern-inspired dishes, generous portions, and a beautiful outdoor dining experience. I especially appreciate a restaurant that continues evolving its menu rather than keeping everything the same year after year. Definitely a place worth revisiting to see what's new!

Another excellent experience at The Henry…read more Although it was busy and we didn't have a reservation, the hostess was able to seat us immediately at a booth which was very comfortable. Our server Jacob was excellent and very professional and friendly. He checked on us regularly and never left us waiting for service. We started with dirty martinis and they were prepared perfectly. Icy and filled to the rim. I ordered the Short Rib Potstickers $19- As an entree. Toasted sesame, cilantro, ponzu. Delicious. A good amount of short rib in each potsticker and plenty of sauce. My husband ordered the Blackened Sea bass Tacos $28 - blue corn tortilla, grilled pineapple salsa, red cabbage slaw, poblano crema. He loved these tacos. He said they were very, very good and the fish was cooked perfectly. For a side, we ordered the Spicy Double Egg Fried Rice. $9. Wow, this was packed with flavor. A nice size for the price. We have only been here a handful of times full of times and we are never disappointed. We will be back!

This is the second location I have visited. My first visit was to the location in West Hollywood,…read moreCalifornia. This location definitely takes the cake in ambiance. It is beautiful, spacious, and has two floors! The setting is clearly above your usual brunch spots and the booths offer a more intimate experience. My party and I were privileged to sit in direct view of the open kitchen. We got to see and hear the kitchen staff working together and communicating smoothly. We even heard the "hands" announcements like you see on The Bear TV show! I believe the food here was on par with the West Hollywood location, so points for consistency. Unfortunately, I have the same qualms for flavor for their dishes. I tried the short rib pot stickers, the tortilla soup, and the Bolognese pasta. I would say that the flavors were not especially strong for each dish. I think they each needed a pinch of extra seasoning to really make their flavors pop! Moreover, I tried my girlfriend's Rigatoni Alla Vodka and the cheese had no taste! Nevertheless, the dishes were beautiful. Lastly, I had a bit of an issue with our service. Our server passed by our table multiple times as we tried to flag her down to ask for the check. I think she could have been more attentive especially in the context of this higher-end brunch spot. With all of these factors combined, it's an overall 4/5 for me.

She further gave us advice on what they are known for, which is pizza and their rotisserie chicken. We ordered the Teuffle cheese bread to start. OMG YUM YUM YUM! We decided to share our entrees. So we ordered the Aviator and black truffle mushroom pizza, a well as the Spicy rigatoni pasta. Holy cows... hold da brakes.... it was all so good. Honestly, everything we experienced today was so excellent from the service to the ambiance to the food. Holy moly, definitely coming back again! Totally recommend this place to anyone who wants excellent service and good quality food. Only thing that could make it better is to give a pie serving utensil to serve the pizza slices on the bread items, but really that ain't going keep me back from returning! It would just be a nice touch since the slices are larger than our knife.

"Kitchen Backed Up," per our server. Food was late, beyond my liking and we had young ones with us…read more Pizzas were warm when they arrived, not for long. Stingy with toppings. Caesar salad was a total joke. Heap of lettuce fine chopped couldn't telling it was romaine. Croutons on top dressing on side did nothing to make it better. On the positive side the manager was able to start the outdoor heaters. Too much competition out there to return.

We were luckily sat at one of the chef's tables which meant we had the opportunity to enjoy some amuse-bouche treats from the kitchen. Menu was concise with so many great-looking options. Started our meal with the raclette cheese, duck spring rolls, brussels, and le wedge. Raclette platter was divine and made my heart happy as we watched the cheese be poured over the bread. Brussels were perfect and were devoured quickly. Would pass on the spring rolls next time. For our mains, we went with the bone-in ribeye with additions of a broiled lobster tail, truffle butter, steak sauce, and Sam's noodles; wife decided on the ricotta ravioli. Steak was perfectly medium rare and nicely seasoned, lobster tail was great and the ravioli was delicious. Finished our meal with crème brulee and some treats from the kitchen. Overall, a wonderful meal with impeccable service. Would not hesitate to come back again.

An Unforgettable Anniversary Evening at Society Swan: A Five-Course Wine Dinner with Kerr Cellars…read more We had the pleasure of spending a lovely evening at Society Swan, an American Brasserie, celebrating my parents' 46th wedding anniversary with a five-course wine dinner featuring Kerr Cellars. It was a wonderful occasion to bring together family, fine dining, and an appreciation for thoughtfully curated food and wine pairings. The evening featured an impressive menu that balanced seafood, seasonal ingredients, hearty main courses, and an indulgent dessert. Each course was accompanied by a specific wine, creating a structured dining experience that highlighted selections from Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast. The evening began with Maine lobster, served with buttered brioche and Old Bay aioli, paired with a 2025 Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley. This opening course established an elegant start to the dinner, combining a classic seafood preparation with a California white wine. Course One: Roasted Sea Bass The roasted sea bass was served with cracked freekeh, Swiss chard, tomato vierge, and rock shrimp butter. It was paired with a 2022 5 Wells Vineyard Chardonnay from Sonoma Coast. The combination of seafood, grains, vegetables, and a butter-based sauce made this a substantial and thoughtfully composed course. Course Two: Fresh Fig Tartlet The second course featured a fresh fig tartlet with aged goat cheese, arugula, and butter-poached almond, accompanied by a 2023 Silver Eagle Vineyard Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast. The ingredients offered a seasonal direction for the menu, with the Pinot Noir providing a red-wine pairing for this distinctive course. Course Three: Short Rib à la Bourguignonne The main course featured short rib à la Bourguignonne, served with horseradish risotto, crispy Brussels sprouts, and herb bread crumb. It was paired with a 2021 Mast Ranch Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. This was the heartiest course of the evening, bringing together a classic braised beef preparation and a single-vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Dessert: Black Forest Sticky Toffee Pudding Dessert brought the meal to a decadent conclusion with Black Forest Sticky Toffee Pudding, chocolate toffee sauce, whipped mascarpone, and Luxardo cherries. The accompanying wine was a 2022 Stagecoach Vineyard Syrah from Napa Valley. The dessert offered a rich finish to the five-course menu and rounded out the evening's progression of food and wine. The Kerr Cellars Wine Experience One of the defining features of the dinner was its selection of California wines. The menu included Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, representing vineyards and wine-growing regions across Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast. Each wine was listed alongside a specific course, making the pairings an integral part of the evening. The progression from white wines to Pinot Noir, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, gave the dinner a clear structure. For guests who enjoy exploring wine alongside a multi-course menu, this format offers an opportunity to experience a range of varietals throughout a single meal. Celebrating 46 Years of Marriage What made the evening especially meaningful was the reason we were there. Celebrating my parents' 46th wedding anniversary made this more than an ordinary dinner out. It was an opportunity to spend quality time together, mark an extraordinary milestone, and create another special memory as a family. Society Swan provided the setting for the occasion, while the five-course menu and Kerr Cellars wine selections gave the celebration a distinctive fine-dining focus. Final Review Society Swan's five-course wine dinner with Kerr Cellars was a memorable choice for celebrating my parents' 46th wedding anniversary. The menu featured a diverse selection of dishes, from Maine lobster and roasted sea bass to short rib à la Bourguignonne and Black Forest Sticky Toffee Pudding. The accompanying wines showcased several well-known California varietals from Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast. The combination of a multi-course menu, curated wine pairings, and a special family occasion made this a lovely evening to remember. A beautiful way to celebrate 46 years of love, family, and lasting memories. Society Swan and Kerr Cellars provided a fitting backdrop for a meaningful anniversary dinner, and it was a pleasure to share the occasion with my parents. Here's to celebrating love, creating memories, and enjoying many more special evenings together!

The quick notes: Ambiance is very well done, beautiful restaurant, Service is top notch, Cocktails…read moreare very good, and the food is just okay. As another reviewer said, I really wanted to love this place. You can enter from either the top floor (bar/lounge) or the bottom floor (dining room and small bar). The dining room is really nice and very comfortable. We were greeted promptly and the service was very good. I opted for a Negroni. Very good. The menu is rather compact, but offers some interesting options. I opted from the Steak Frites (you can also get chicken frites and fish frites). The steak was cooked well and tasted very good as well. I think I expected some type of sauce with the steak. The fries were crisp, but they are the thin variety. Not my favorite. I am torn as to whether I will return.
