It's very clean, and there is so much light in the room! No booths--all tables and a bar as well as a gift shop off to the side. Joanne was super sweet and kept our glasses filled. She came back often to check on us. It was nice to chat with someone so kind and genuine. I wish more people were like her. The food is good. My sister and I both ordered the Blt. She got fruit and I got a side salad with fresh spinach and veggies. We also had the Triple Bogie appetizer with onion rings, fries, and a quesadilla. Some things to know: Monday through Friday, this place is open until 5 pm. On Saturday and Sunday, it's open until 7 There is free wifi. Lots to love about this hidden gem, and we'll definitely be returning!

We have been to a couple Margarita Sundays & most recently, we recommended a couple colleagues stay…read morehere for the week they would be here in town. We regret that decision now. We all decided to spend an afternoon out by the pool. We ordered drinks, appetizers, and were swimming around with plenty of room (maybe 5 other people out in the pool). Our friend decided to walk down a level to where the bar is, but the path was unnecessarily long & inconvenient, so she sat on the low railing & flipped her legs over the side, as a shortcut. It was really no big deal, but apparently the towel lady across the way thought so because she called out Harrah's security team, which included the manager & 5 other people, who all proceeded to stand in a row. They called out to my friend to come to them so they could speak to her. We were all perplexed because she had not been loud, rowdy, disruptive or disrespectful. They demanded that she be escorted to her room right away & would not be allowed in the pool area for the rest of the night. We could not believe it! Never have any of us seen this kind of action taken on paying guests at a hotel. I've never even seen this action taken with people who were rowdy & seriously drunk. They were very demeaning & rude. It completely ruined our colleagues stay here in Arizona. The handling of this situation was beyond unprofessional! I think Harrah's is lucky to have anyone stay in their hotel at all, considering the entire place stinks of cigarette smoke. Even cheap hotels in Vegas smell better than this joint. I will never recommend this place to anyone!

We started with the olive oil and bread with that roasted bulb of garlic, yum! I had a Ceasar salad with anchovies in the dressing and the meatballs from the appetizer menu. Both were good. My friends both had pasta dishes with added protein.. everything came out fast. We ordered wine by the glass .. they had a good variety of bottles and by the glass option. We then split the pistachio creme brulee for dessert.. very yummy! Definitely leave room, I'm having the tiramisu next time.

I…read morefell in love with sangria while in Spain and have been searching for something comparable in the states. I finally found it at Oak & Fork! I was expecting a premade drink but Richard mixed the Brandy, Grand Marnier and everything else right in front of us. As if the drink alone wasn't delicious enough, the literal cherry on top was the Luxardo cherry garnish. The olive oil dip was more than I expected. Baguettes were toasted to perfection. Not too soft, not too hard. The chopped olives balanced out the parmesan. The grilled garlic was the perfect addition to the dish. The Italian meatball gnocchi soup was hearty with large meatballs and flavorful gnocchi. a little bit on the spicy side but delicious nonetheless. You cant really get meatball sliders wrong. Oak & Fork appreciates that basics and didn't try to "fancy it up". The brioche was rich and soft. The Pomodoro sauce was flavorful and tasted much how my Nona made it. Meatballs were bigger than the brioche buns! Everything from the bun to the sauce and mozzarella created the perfect nest for the seasoned meatballs. While we were there we were never treated like another random guest. We were always treated like family. Richard was friendly, professional and gave us amazing recommendations. This was a staycation but honestly I would drive the 45 minutes just to have a sangria and olive oil dip!

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.

When we first discovered this spot back when it was Liquor Pig, we came specifically to try some…read morecocktails, and then spontaneously ordered the bone marrow poutine on a whim. What we didn't realize at the time was that we had stumbled upon one of those dishes that would stick with us! So when Liquor Pig closed, we were genuinely sad to see it go, but then delighted to learn that the same chef was spearheading Wayward and, most importantly, that the legendary bone marrow poutine made its way onto the new menu. And thankfully, it's still just as memorable! The bone marrow is incredibly luscious, rich, and decadent, and the whole dish is the perfect indulgent pairing for Wayward's creative cocktails. The portion is also a great size for two people to share, especially since it's definitely a rich dish. We also tried the Jaew Chicken which was tasty and definitely a little different from what I'd normally order. It was a nice addition to the meal, but honestly, the poutine is the reason we'll keep coming back to this place! While walking through the restaurant, I noticed quite a few tables enjoying the bone in short rib taco board and those portions are serious. That platter could easily feed four people, so it's definitely something to keep in mind if you're dining with a group. All in all, I'm happy that Wayward has kept one of my favorite dishes from the Liquor Pig days alive. If you're looking for creative cocktails with something rich and indulgent to snack on, do yourself a favor and order the bone marrow poutine!

Update: After my original review, the restaurant reached out to apologize for our experience. We decided to give them another chance, and I'm glad we did. Our return visit was completely different. The service was excellent, and we had the pleasure of meeting the Ashley Cook, General Manager and the owner. They made us feel genuinely welcome.

Music is always on pointe and I would never change the look or ambiance of the place either. My last trip here though I had to ask about why the menu had stopped changing as often since we were one of two parties there in the middle of happy hour and there was a large framed picture of a bartender with a bunch of signed notes on the bottom of it beside me at the bar. It turns out that one of the oldest curators and bartenders of the bar and restaurant had passed from a drunk driving incident and I had not known at all! Gosh I was so disappointed in myself that I had ever complained about not having a new menu to try after that...but at the same time it was amazing to hear so many great anecdotes and to learn so much more about him and the history of the bar itself while dining this time. I had a lot of fun times at this bar - including remembering the first time I met that bartender and sharing that memory with the staff that told me their story. They also shared that they would be coming out with a new menu very soon and some of the new items and ideas that would be rolling out so I am also very excited to go back! New food menu tomorrow too?! What?! I was almost tempted to back today to get more of their amazing dishes from the main menu!! Thank you Cat for the amazing hospitality! I learned so much about Gaea in one afternoon too :D Love it.
