Friend and I made a reservation here to do some weekday catching up. We parked in the Chase bank…read moreparking lot since DDG offers 2 hour validated parking. It was a shortish walk but we ended up accidentally going the long way, my suggestion is to walk behind the Hot n Juicy Crawfish restaurant through the pretty walkway and you land right at Filthy Animal, which has DDG as part of it. We were led back to a secret-ish area and sat next to the entrance, it really is a beautiful space with a kinda groovy vibe. My friend and I wore sparkly ensembles to fit the vibe. It wasn't very busy on a Wednesday evening and we arrived during happy hour so we had the edamame hummus & chicken tendies plus two drinks each. I had a margarita & lemon drop, my friend had a Ramos gin fizz & bees knees. The hummus was excellent, I liked the pairing of the creamy texture with crispy plantain chips and sweet pomegranate pieces. You would think chicken tendies would be kind of boring but they were actually so delicious paired with a gochujang sauce and a spicy aioli sauce. We literally left no crumbs! The staff was very attentive and sweet, we were finished with food and drinks about 90 minutes later and most of that was us yapping.

The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

It's the kind of restaurant that makes getting dressed up feel exciting and worth it, and I absolutely loved that about the experience. It felt like such a perfect date night spot or place to celebrate something special. The servers were also extremely attentive the entire night. Everyone was friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling overbearing. The service honestly matched the upscale atmosphere perfectly and made the whole experience feel even more polished. And OMG... the food. SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.

Narrow, arched hallways, colorfully-illuminated bricks, and loud music automatically set the mood and leave you ready to party. There's also a modest kitchen, and at the right time, a speakeasy. What I love: This was my first time trying a Spaghett. It sounds dumb, but enough aperol makes just about anything palatable. There's a pretty deep roster of beer/seltzer cans, too. The summer crowd was nice, and despite it being the off-season you still had brands doing promos and showing off new products. What I like: A small window in the back to order bar food. You won't regret the sliders! What needs work: It was early and not a particularly crowded day, but somehow the kitchen was out of quite a few items. When you step up to the bar, prepare to WAIT. Nevertheless, it's fun and worth checking out!

I had lunch there on Tuesday, 8/11 and was first greeted by a server whose name I THINK is Joey but maybe Joey is who relieved him when the shift change happened?? We'll call him Joey for the purposes of the review (side note, the server who stepped in was amazing and also deserves all the stars!). Joey was so knowledgable and sweet! He recommended the Chicken Chop salad and I will 100% be dreaming about that salad until I come back. Incredible service. Because I was so thrilled with lunch I came back for dinner and was greeted by Megan who is a literal DREAM of a hostess. I sat at the bar, which was without question the right move. Sav, THANK YOU! Sav's recommendations were perfect and she was a true delight to get to spend some time with. She's the kind of bartender that anticipates exactly what you need before you even know you need it. The cauliflower/raisin/caper combo was actual heaven and the lemon butter chicken with "spicy" marcona almonds....insane. I'm rarely finishing plates and I didn't leave a single bite. I am so impressed by the staff here. Food/Service/Ambiance, all of it was 10/10!! Looking forward to my next AZ visit solely because of Postino!

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.

The atmosphere was unique, the bartenders were genuinely engaging, and there was a real sense of community that made every visit memorable. It became my go-to spot to bring friends from out of town and every single person I brought absolutely loved it! Back then, the cocktails felt intentional and creative, not just rushed out for volume. The staff remembered regulars, conversations flowed naturally, and the whole place had this warm, eclectic energy that made you want to stay for hours. Even on busy nights, it somehow still felt personal. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, the vibe has changed quite a bit. The drinks just aren't as consistently good as they used to be, especially considering the prices now. Service feels far more transactional and impersonal, and the atmosphere that once made this place stand out has faded into something much more generic. It feels less like a neighborhood gem and more like a stop on a nightlife circuit.
