For food, I had the Crispy Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with cheese and fries, and also tried the Vybe-rita. The food was just okay in my opinion; nothing particularly stood out. I would come back for the drinks and the environment, but the food didn't quite hit the mark for me this time.

There was a saxophone player in one area and a live band in another, which made the atmosphere feel lively and upscale without being stuffy. We started with the brussels sprouts, and they were delicious -- easily in my top three of all time (and I know my brussels sprouts!). We shared the strawberry Gorgonzola salad, which was fresh and tasty. I personally would have loved a little extra Gorgonzola and dressing, but I'd absolutely order it again. For mains, I had the chicken Parmesan -- so good! Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My husband had the shrimp and mushroom Alfredo, which he enjoyed, though it wasn't my personal favorite. The service was a little slow, but the food and atmosphere more than made up for it. We'll definitely be back -- this place truly has a great vybe!

Visited the Forum Lounge for the first time with my husband and sister in law, last night…read more We went in for dinner & to watch Jeff Burkett perform live. We made a reservation through Open Table. There is no additional cost to reserve a table, which is great since most other similar spots either had a cover fee or you had to buy tickets for the live performance. Upon arrival, our table was ready right when we showed up. The service was excellent throughout the night considering how busy it was in there. Our waitress was so patient, especially considering how long we took to make a decision on what we were going to order. The lighting was very nice, the music was great. We spent about 3 hours here enjoying the atmosphere. The food was very good, and prices were low! The drinks (which we did not partake in) were pricey, but seemed to have a great selection. There was a full bar & a handful of "signature" drinks to choose from. We ended up keeping it simple & getting the Wagyu Burger & Fries. I upgraded to onion rings. It took a little while to get our food, but we were in no rush. The burgers were cooked exactly how we wanted them, and tasted fresh. The onion rings and fries were delicious. The lounge also has another restaurant called "Vybe" attached, with similar food offerings, and a DJ instead of a live band. It's a bit quieter in that area. They also have karaoke suites for rent, which is a really cool option for people who are having a party. A waitress was kind enough to give us a tour of all these areas within the restaurant, and give us all the details about what packages are offered. All in all, we had such a nice night out and will definitely be back in the future.

Our server promptly came to the table to take my drink order and tell me about the special that was not on the menu. I ordered the off menu chicken Caesar wrap with a side of fries. It was really delicious - - I love when they actually put their wrap on the grill to make it crispy on the outside. The fries were quite good - - the kind that you can keep eating as they get cold. My friend got a bowl, but I have no idea what kind. He seem to enjoy it. This place has a nice, modern atmosphere and a great dining patio outback. There is a little shop with very cool gift items and a little bakery. This place has been a great addition to the downtown Chandler dining scene. If you haven't gone, put it on your list!

I didn't get to spend too much time here so I do want to come back!! My friend and I both ordered an espresso martini but we didn't love it... we drank maybe less than half. I do think that was more of an US problem... out of all espresso martinis i've had, I probably only enjoyed 1 of them. As much as I want to love an espresso martini, I don't think it wants to love me back :( We also tried their nutella cheesecake which was delicious but not very nutella-ey as we expected. Overall we had a good experience here and definetly want to give it another try with different drinks!

We returned to Parlay Kitchen + Cocktails on a Wednesday and had a completely different experience…read morethan our first visit, in the best way. Javi guided us toward the Wednesday offering of their Parlay Chardonnay with bruschetta, and that pairing alone shifted the entire evening. We had only planned for a simple glass of wine, but his recommendation introduced us to something far more thoughtful. The bruschetta was bright and well composed, layered with fresh flavors that complemented the wine beautifully. I was genuinely surprised to learn Parlay has its own label. The Chardonnay was clean, refreshing, and balanced with the kind of crisp structure and subtle fruit notes you expect from a well executed glass. It felt intentional, not just another house option. We added wings, which were well prepared, and my husband ordered the beer cheese chicken Philly. I tried it and the sauce stood out immediately, rich without being heavy and full of flavor. What truly elevated the experience was the service, and Deedee set the tone. Her presence carries a level of professionalism that is rare, but it is her warmth and attentiveness that make her exceptional. She leads with confidence, reads the room effortlessly, and creates an environment where guests feel genuinely cared for without it ever feeling forced. There is a natural ease to how she manages both her team and the floor, and it shows in every detail of the experience. She is not just managing, she is elevating the entire operation. Javi complemented that perfectly with thoughtful recommendations and a genuine approach that made the evening feel curated rather than transactional. Our first visit left us underwhelmed. This time, everything aligned. The right selections, the right guidance, and the right leadership. We left genuinely glad we came back. If there is a Parlay near you, it is worth a second look.

The service truly stood out--easily a 10/5. Our bartender was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel welcoming from start to finish. As for the food: * The Posse Bowl was a 3/5--decent, but it lacked depth of flavor and could have been more seasoned. * The Amo Burger, on the other hand, was a hit. My husband finished it in no time and raved about both the burger and the fries. If you visit, I'd definitely recommend going the burger route. Overall, a good stop with standout service.

When I first visited with friends, we also tried some cocktails made with fresh-squeezed juice, they were absolutely delicious. This time I ordered the Loaded Barrel bowl, which comes with rice, avocado, chicken, an over-medium (or over-easy) egg, teriyaki glaze, and green onions. It's such a hearty dish, fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly healthy. Everything tasted high-quality and well-prepared. The place itself looks great. I noticed a lot of people ordering the pizza, and it looked fantastic, so that's definitely on my list for next time. The ambiance is cool and open, they have a great selection of craft beers, and the bar area is really inviting. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the environment is very clean. It's attached to a shooting range, which adds to the unique vibe. Parking is never an issue. Overall, it's just a cool spot to hang out, catch up with friends, and enjoy quality food with great service. I highly recommend it and can't wait to go back to try more of the menu!

The California roll was huge! 8 huge pieces for $5 and was delish! 6 egg rolls for $5 and yummy too! Crazy prices! They also have 4 TV's playing sports.

DJ can be accommodating... at times. Recommend coming with a large group. Cons: Horrible location tucked away in the middle of nowhere. No dress code, and if there is, it's not enforced. Bottle service areas have huge couches. Smaller groups will feel lost among friends. A bit overpriced for the location. The facility tends to stay warm. Though barely anyone in the venue on a Friday night, and if you have bottle service, server visits to your table are few and far between. Though they do congregate among themselves and check their phones frequently. Sigh. Fails: Hookah smoking is on the menu. A lame attempt to entice a younger crowd in, while alienating the older crowd that has the disposable income. Vaping is also allowed as staff doesn't admonish you if you do it in the open and in front of other patrons. Total turn off and only reason we would not return. If you want to be respected like a high-end nightclub, act like one and cater to your paying clientele.

It is an attachment to San tan brewery and also has food options from the San tan brewery but a smaller choice. They're open until 1am so it's also a great place to finish the night. We ordered the nachos with shredded chicken and also the chicken wings. They're both good to order. One thing to note is that the nachos are potato chips and not tortilla chips so it might not be something you prefer. The toppings were plenty and tasty. The guys ate it so fast while we were chatting. We ordered multiple different style and flavor old fashions and the menu will indicate if the it comes with an add on like cookie or bacon with a little icon. The cookies were all fantastic! The bacon was tasty but a little bit soggy and not crispy for my taste. But the fat and savor of the bacon really works well with the sweet old fashioned choices. The sweet cookie works well with the less sweet and more tart options. It's pretty smart. Our server, Hanna was very attentive with food, drinks and waters and also very upbeat. Definitely not a dull place to get a drink at all. People seemed to be having a good time and enjoying the cozy feel of the bar. I would recommend this place if you're in downtown Chandler for cocktails and drinks and you don't want to stand all night and prefer to sit and chat.

I kicked off our 90-minute experience with the Blackberry Yuzu Margarita, and it was the perfect balance of crisp, sweet, and tart. I wrapped things up with the Macadamia Nut Piña Colada which, fittingly for being "aboard" a pirate ship, was delightfully rum-forward without being overly sweet. In between cocktails, we shared a couple of snacks that were such a welcome addition -- something you sadly don't always find at local speakeasies! The service was top-notch thanks to our bartender Rocco, whose knowledge and attention to detail made the experience even more fun. Between the creative cocktails, immersive vibe, and fantastic hospitality, Undertow is easily one of the coolest spots around!

What can I say about this place that hasn't already been said time and time again? Everything from…read morethe service to the ambiance is top-notch. Of course, this place is known for its cocktails, so naturally they should be great--but trust me, I've been to several cocktail-only establishments that were lackluster. Absolutely NOT the case here. You could literally put all the pages of the menu on a wall, throw a dart, and whatever you hit would be delicious and interesting in its own right. The place is a little small, but honestly, that's what I love about it. It feels cozy in all the right ways. It's also very relaxing, floating along the sea with some delightful surprises here and there. We ordered several drinks, but one that's not on the menu (and they do make it) is the Pearl Diver, which is magnificent here. The mixologists and servers are all amazing and should be proud of themselves for bringing such an experience to Gilbert.
