This place puts on so many activities, including a wine club, book club and wine tasting nights. There are also happy hour specials and all day happy hour on Tuesdays! My friend and I came here on a Thursday evening and took advantage of the happy hour deals! The wine is self serve and you can choose from a sample, half or full pour! I tried a few different red wines and they were all good. We also ordered the spinach and artichoke dip which was absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!!! Warm and flavorful, served with carrots, pretzels and pita bread, I highly, HIGHLY recommend this if you like spinach and artichoke dip! The pesto pizza was also awesome too! I think there was an event going on that evening because a lot of tables were reserved, and it was very busy, but the staff working were all very nice and helpful! This place is smaller, but has tables, couches and a bar area to sit. They also offer beer. I can't wait to come back!

GOOD! inspired by taco bell's baja blast hahahah). they TREATED us to all three of their current desserts on the menu. it was the most pleasant surprise i could've imagined. my favorite was the flourless chocolate cake! it was like a thick, rich brownie, had passion fruit cream to "lighten it up" and a caramel-like taffy on the bottom my brother and sister-in-law both said their favorite was the gulab jamun (which is basically like little fried dough balls/donuts, influenced by indian flavors and spices). the mille-feuille was also fantastic - the pastry was light and airy, cream wasn't too sweet and also very light, shaved cheese on top made it have a savory bite, and the jam alongside it was strawberry rhubarb. service is always amazing, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable; it seems like everybody working here truly enjoys it. quite literally already have a reservation booked at valentine and will be coming back here beforehand. update: came back for more drinks (fernet & coke, spaghett western, negroni) and their lamb flauta. all AMAZING! and amazing order to whet the appetite before dinner at valentine.

I absolutely love the atmosphere and it's not high energy. Very relaxed which is great for me. The food was good. We got the basil pesto ice cream and omg. Divine. The pesto ice cream honestly was lije pistachio ice cream. It worked amazing and so refreshing. Underneath was a lemon ice thing that was exquisite and very palate refreshing. It tasted tart and like lemons. Not crunch. Soft ice. One thing though. The drinks weren't bad price. Average for tha area. The only thing is the bar tender made all of our drinks very strong. Most people think that's a good thing but honestly all I could taste was booze. I ordered a whisky sprite (7and7 spoof) and wow I could only taste whiskey. Every sip was booze booze and more booze. For the cocktails I wasn't able to taste any of the ingredients since it was so strong on the alcohol. Definitely moneys worth I guess lol. The bartender though was very nice and knowledgeable about all the drinks. Could explain all the drinks and the different types of alcohol. Not bad. Definitely would come back. Super cute for date night or a small gathering night out since space wise isn't huge.

The restaurant has options for outdoor seating in the courtyard or indoors in the cozy cafe. As it was a bit cold and drizzly today, most patrons (including us) opted for indoor seating. Note that the restaurant is situated near the courtyard, before you need to pay entrance fees to the museum. We were greeted and seated quickly, and offered menus from the server. We were enticed by the looks of the entrees that were being delivered to our adjacent tables. Ordering was going to be challenging as everything looked appealing! As usual, my husband and I would split our entrees. We created our own salad-and-salad combo, with my husband ordering an Apple Harvest Salad ($17.50) while I opted for a bowl of posole ($13.50). Per the menu, the salad would have orchard-fresh apples, oven roasted chicken breast, smoked Gouda cheese, toasted walnuts, arugula, and an apple vinaigrette. My husband asked if he could substitute the sweet and spicy mustard dressing from another salad menu choice (no problem). The posole featured slow-roasted pork, tomato, sautéed onions, pinto beans, hominy, savory broth, and Oaxaca cheese, served with fresh-baked corn chips and shredded cabbage. Our lunch was delivered quickly, and tasted great. In fact, we learned later that the posole was featured in Bon Appetit magazine. Nonetheless, we were disappointed that the soup was lukewarm at best; we would've preferred a much hotter soup. Service was a good. Our waitress was attentive without hovering. We especially appreciated that she provided an extra cup, plate, and utensils after we mentioned that we would be splitting our lunch. We're curious about the prickly pear lemonade on the beverages menu and the fry bread sundae on the desserts menu, but they'll have to wait for a future visit! This would've been a 5-star review with hotter soup and a somewhat lower price point.

I first came across Don Woods' Say When reading a Yelp article listing out the best rooftops in…read moreeach state. Don Woods was Arizona's pick. For quite a few months, I had it on my list to visit. I finally made things happen on a Wednesday evening for a drink. Located on the roof (of course) of a boutique hotel, I find free parking in the hotel's parking lot. While it was a busy parking lot, I was able to find a spot. Unfortunately, my night consisted of a comedy of errors. Ambiance (3/5): When you think best rooftop in the state, you're thinking scenic and peaceful views. Don Woods' certainly has that, though I've seen better in Phoenix. You can see the mountains in the background, but that's about it. The hotel is located on a busy street, where you'll often hear the noise of cars buzzing by or the train choo-chooing. Did I just make up a word?! I imagine the best time to stop by is during sunset. The outdoor area is relatively narrow with seating for about 20-30 people. It's a mix of comfortable seats and tables/chairs. There's also a charming indoor area, where the bar is located, but I felt like I had to sit outside. The weather was perfect, too. Service (2.5/5): This is where the comedy of errors began. I was given a menu and some water and was left to peruse the menu. Before the waitress had returned, I had picked out an appetizer and a cocktail. I then discovered that their cook had quit the other week and as a result, no food was available. That's fine and all, but you've gotta give me a heads-up when giving me the menu. That way, I wouldn't have spent the time to look over the food menu and get my heart set on a particular dish. On a better note, they have free WiFi. And service was overall friendly and pretty efficient. Food (N/A): While I was unable to order some food, on most nights, they have a small menu of small plates. More of a snack type of spot then a full meal type of establishment. Drinks (3/5): Don Woods is know for its cocktails and they have a list of 10 or so craft cocktails. Plus, beer, wine, and the typical options that you would find when there's a full bar. I feel like the bartender messed up the proportions on my cocktail as it was a bit rough. One drink and I was out. It seems like Don Woods' is experiencing some turnover which is leading to some mishaps. Combine that with some high expectations given the accolades they won, and it was the recipe for a disaster. I love a good rooftop bar, so I was hoping for more at Don Woods' Say When. Even the lobby of the hotel was experiencing issues. They sell popsicles in the lobby but the guy temporarily manning the front desk didn't know how to get their Square device working. Which ended up meaning no appetizers for me at Don Woods and no popsicles from the lobby. Two strikes. We live to fight another day.
