    Romantic spots by the bar
    Kim K.

    We were back in Phoenix for New Years week and came back to NGL for a Friday night date night. The service and food are outstanding. The environment is super trendy and fun! I love the records! Adds a lot to the ambiance. The cocktails are great! I ordered the Blushed Orange. I had never had blood orange foam! My husband and I split many dishes - radicchio salad, Brussels sprouts, squash, cod filet, hamachi crudo, and oxtail dumplings. We ordered the sweet focaccia with mascarpone and caramel for dessert. Yum! I highly recommend checking out Neutral Ground for a date night or night with friends!

    Went into Neutral Ground with little to no expectations and walked out completely obsessed!! We weren't super hungry and honestly weren't sure the menu was going to be our thing just by looking online but we were so wrong. We ordered the cured salmon, tartare, English peas, hen, and the Naked and Famous cocktail, and every single thing was a huge hit. Tartare was our favorite! The format is perfect for sharing and grazing, and the portions were just right for a full spread without overdoing it. Our server was also so kind and came in clutch when we were unsure what to order. If you're just coming in for drinks you'll also love how cozy and intimate it is. I loved the ambiance. Perfect for a date night or small get together with friends. It feels like a hidden gem tucked into Arcadia that you want to keep to yourself. This is absolutely going in our regular rotation!!

    Absolutely loved my experience at Neutral Ground Lounge! The deviled eggs were flavorful, the cucumber mocktail was incredibly refreshing, and the pineapple sorbet was the perfect light and tropical finish to the meal. Everything tasted fresh, intentional, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was also such a vibe. It was relaxing, elevated, and welcoming. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

    Acorn squash. Beautiful.

    Great great new concept in the Arcadia area! Small bites of simply amazing food and a killer cocktail list. I've tried almost everything on the menu and it's wonderful. So very delicious. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Modern retro feel. Nice bar. Comfortable seating. Service is so Friendly. I've tried most every cocktail and I really enjoy them. The one that needs work is the daiquiri. It needs a bit more "pizzazz". It's a bit flat and one note. That's my only complaint honestly. What a fun new place.

    The food and cocktails were all awesome!!! Make sure and get the radicchio salad if it's sfill on the menu. They said it will change seasonally. Love that it wasn't too loud and you could hear your table speak.

    Friends and I were killing time before our flights - I'm actually sad we didn't discover this place…read moreearlier for a full meal! As it was, we grabbed a few drinks and a snack. Really good drinks and there are some really unique ones - the Kyoto in Winter came in a very cute teacup, for example! There's a decent mocktail selection, which I appreciated as the DD. We really loved the Knotty Boyz (Garlic Parmesan) - if we hadn't eaten recently we might've ordered more to share!

    I have been thinking about this place since I dined here for the first time…read more Fast-paced service and great pizza slices are $3 on happy hour. I tried the Korean BBQ pizza which was really good. They had a special pizza...The Baked Potato. So happy they offer slices to try. This was pretty tastey with the seasoned potatoes on it. I particularly appreciated that they did not over potato the slice lol. The best part about the pizza in general is that the crust is light and soft. I usually prefer heavy cheese on my pizza but their was just right. I tried the Son of a B*t@# I'm In cocktail that is on happy hour for $10. The simple yet clean ingredients caught my eye...gin, aperol, elderflower, lime l, and honey made for a very refreshing drink. Also, I've been on a kick to enjoy cocktails with no ice, so this was perfect.

    I want to give 5 stars for the amazing dinner experience at Filthy Animal. I've been a few times…read morenow, and the food and service during dinner have always been incredible. The oysters are a must, the steak is cooked perfectly, and everything is plated so thoughtfully it really feels like a full experience, not just a meal. The dinner staff has also always been attentive, friendly, and on point. That said, I recently came in for brunch and had a very different experience. I'm a huge pancake person, so I was excited to try the strawberry pancakes, but they were honestly disappointing. They were soggy, lacked any fluff, and had more of a cornbread texture than a pancake. The strawberry topping also wasn't very appetizing--it seemed like it was meant to be more of a sauce, but it didn't quite work. I completely understand that higher-end restaurants like to get creative with their dishes, but I think some basics like pancakes should still be done really well. I'll definitely be back for dinner, but I'd probably skip brunch next time.

    Stopped in on a busy Mother's Day afternoon after a long walk to get some drinks. Place was…read moreabsolutely crowded but room at the bar. Inside is truly unique blend of African safari, Aussie chefs complete with hats wood grilling tomahawks and tons of meat right in the middle of the restaurant. Decor is again rather unique with a mix of wood, soft furnishings, drapes, brass and stuffed exotic animals (which im sure are clever fakes) Josh at the bar was awesome, not just for me but extremely attentive and quick at delivery. Remembered drink preferences, even an unusual order i made which he delivered perfectly after serving 2 others who joined me. Everyone behind the bar kept my water topped up and the bar free of soiled napkins and empty glasses. Prices were extremely reasonable. Few drafts on tap and am extensive bar and cocktail selection. Definitely going to return back to enjoy the food, smelled wonderful.

    I had been waiting what felt like an eternity to try out this disco-themed speakeasy! Disco balls,…read morelots of moving lights, swanky vibes, groovy music, and attentive and intelligent servers! Love it! I started out with a cocktail - the Mega Viral! Once you try it, you will understand the name. One of the more innovative cocktails I have ever had... and I ended up having two! So delicious and an experience in itself!! We enjoyed some light bites as well - the Edamame Hummus and Shishito Peppers. Both were fantastic! I love that their menu points out which items are gluten-free... and our server even warned me that the plantain chips in the Edamame Hummus could have cross-contamination... so I very much appreciate that heads up! I opted to order them anyway and I am so glad I did - so good! And I experienced no gluten issues. Awesome! I'm already looking forward to a return trip!

I love the giant disco balls and the aesthetic of this place. We started with the appletini and lemongrass highball (non-alcoholic). My friend and I ended up switching drinks because we liked each other's more than our own. For the second round, we ordered the brandy spritz and primrose martini. We weren't fans of the brandy spritz, although my friend grew into it. The primrose martini was quite good, I liked it better than the appletini. For snackies, we ordered the glizzy gaunlet, which was basically a tower of carbs. It came with 5 mini dogs with milk bread, and potato wedges. There were 3 sauces, my favorite in order were the: truffle dijonnaise, kosho aioli, and korean ketchup. We enjoyed this more than the food at Filthy Animal. Although it was pricey ($22) for just carbs and hardly any protein. The milk bread was delicious and the mini dogs were pretty good too. The potato wedges were cooked perfectly, slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Would I return? Probably not. The food was better than the drinks but it wasn't outstanding.
