The energy is always on point and the live music just takes the whole experience up another level. The tinga tostadas were absolutely amazing. So much flavor and perfectly balanced. The wine selection is superb, with enough variety to keep things interesting every time we come in. I do wish they had a few more steak options, but the New York is not an easy cut to get right and they nailed it. Cooked perfectly and seasoned really well. Kennedy took great care of us and made the experience even better. Liam, the busboy, was such a sweetheart and very attentive. You can tell the team works well together. It does get busy, especially with the live music, so definitely make a reservation. Such a fun spot for a night out with great food, great wine, and an even better atmosphere.

If you like an Old Fashioned, they have the best one I have ever had. $18 but amazing! It was a beautiful evening and the doors & windows were open so all could enjoy it! We shared three different items and we both enjoyed them all. My complaint is the table and chairs. Both were leaning about 1-1/2" so we had to put our weight on them to level them. Also the chairs we were on had a weird slope that makes you slide out of them. Fix these and easily a 5 star rating.

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.

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.

Now that's a very ODD policy. Some people had 2 or 3 drinks, some had none. Some had just a salad, some had a full meal. How in the world do you split a bill fairly when our dinners/drinks were all so different. This policy of only taking 4 credit cards for a larger party left us with a bit of a bad impression of Hidden House. Could a manager please look into this?

This review is long overdue…read more After drinks and bites at The Living Room on Saturday, May 6, 2017, Rachel took Allen, David and me to THE BRICKYARD DOWNTOWN for more alcoholic beverages. Nestled in historic downtown Chandler, in the narrow sliver of Boston Street, the speak-easy themed cocktail bar and restaurant is located inside the former home of the Chandler Arizonan, the city's original hometown newspaper since 1912. With exposed brick walls and rich wood finishes, the historic site provides an upscale, contemporary urban and industrial-chic setting. After easily finding parking in walking distance from the entrance, we arrived shortly before midnight of the 7th. They were closing soon, but we had enough time to order a round of craftly-made cocktails and beers to down quickly. It helps when your friend knows the bartender. Enter smiley face emoji here. THE BRICKYARD DOWNTOWN is credited for the first place that I ever tried a CLOVER CLUB, a pink, frothy cocktail with fruity, citrusy, velvety qualities. I was instantly tickled pink, literally, by the nostalgic feel of the elegant concoction, topped with artfully designed egg white foam and served in a vintage-style champagne glass. What a beauty of a drink with a touch of class and sophistication! Almost made me want to throw on a flapper dress and dance the Charleston...until I realized the need to balance from the powerful punch in the serious drink. Fancy, stiff cocktails served at THE BRICKYARD DOWNTWON fo shizz. No complaints about that here! It's been a while since I visited Arizona. Maybe it's time to return. If/when I do, I will mos def drop by THE BRICKYARD DOWNTOWN again!

I will go there every time I will visit Chandler, Arizona. Really worth every penny. Keep up the good work.

After working out on a Saturday morning, a group of us came to Tryst Cafe for some good eats. I ordered: - Fried Fish Tacos ($17.50 - Tempura battered cod, cabbage, pineapple, chipotle ranch): These were some solid fried fish tacos. Bright, flavorful, and very enjoyable. The pineapple added a nice freshness. - Espresso martini ($13 - Three Olives vodka, coffee liqueur, Amaretto, Irish Cream, and a shot of Espresso): Not the most exciting espresso martini or the strongest but one that hits the right notes. I also totally stole a good portion of my friend's garlic parmesan fries. They tasted a little greasy but they had such a nice crunchy coating that it didn't matter. They offer Gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian dishes so there should be something for everybody.

This place needs to be recognized more... or maybe not and I can keep it to myself haha…read more I love how the restaurant is 'hidden' but also in plain site. Inside, the restaurant is covered with plants, arts, and has that dark, sexy vibe. We came here for a double date for restaurant week but opted for the main menu. Our server was Shreese and she made the entire experience top notch. We got the crispy rice egg yolk nigiri and hamachi crudo. Per Shereese's rec, smear the cured egg yolk on the hamachi and it's so good! Shereese also brought us ravioli to try with fried sage which was decadent and exploded with flavor. For entrees, I got the wagyu NY strip with bone marrow butter and a pommes puree. My boyfriend got the bison ribeye. Both were delicious and had a nice crust on the outside. Didn't have room for dessert but you only live once so make room. The banana bread banana split was to die for. If you go here for one thing, it has to be that. But you should go anyways to try the great dishes this spot has to offer.

I love beef, and I love arugula, but it tasted like the arugula was sitting in lemon juice for so long before plating that the bitterness of it bled into the beef, so the beef itself was strangely bitter. Sides and entrees were fantastic except for pommes puree. Well made, but it was extremely salty and almost inedible. The scallops were well cooked and the pasta was very good and cooked perfectly tender. Some of the best pappardelle I've had. We sat at the bar and service was great. The bartender was very friendly. Ambiance inside is cute and cozy.

It had been quite some time since I had last been, and my most recent visit didn't disappoint. Every time I've ever been here, it's always been busy during the dinner rush, but service has always remained quick and attentive. It certainly isn't what I would call a "fine dining" experience, but it's upscale enough and has good enough food to feel like a meaningful night out with family, friends, or your partner. For an appetizer, we enjoyed their bread and butter, which was fantastic. The bread also came with olive oil and seasonings to dip it in, which was also very tasty. For dinner, I enjoyed their grilled cod with French and sweet potato fries, as well as coleslaw. While the fish was slightly overcooked, the meal overall was still delicious, filling , and well worth the trip back to High Tide. Definitely swing in if you've never been!

Almost like being in San Francisco! For dinner we decided to share a couple of things; the crab cakes, which comes with fried avocado and some of the best aioli for dipping. The cakes themselves are big and full of crab with just the right amount of filling to create a decadent and moist cake! We also shared the seared jumbo scallops...High Tides knows how to cook scallops to the best! So yummy and tender and perfectly cooked with that crispy outer and the soft, creamy inside. We also shared a Caesar salad and one of the things we love about this place...ask and you can get some fresh anchovy on the side to add to the salad. Wife always asks for more lemon as well to drizzle over the salad. Overall a fantastic dinner for us and everyone with us!

I had to ask for marinara sauce and parmesean cheese which was also poor quality. Someone ordered steak, tough, dry and tasteless. the roll that was served was hard as a rock and also tasteless. The food all looked microwaved, all of it was tasteless and the service was very slow. So, another failure food experience in Arizona. Arizona need some real restaurants, nothing but crappy chain joints. This place is overrated.
