    Amazing! Everything was perfection. Definitely worth every penny. Such a fun, unique experience. Definitely would recommend for any special occasion.

    A unique and fun experience, a beef omakase within a steakhouse. It's a small room, counter seating, where you talk with the four chefs as they prepare 17 beef centric courses. I enjoyed it, some of the courses were great, none were bad. Beef dishes ranged from A5 to more traditional beef, and all the preparations were quite unique. The only non-beef were the bread first course (and that was served with marrow butter) and the two dessert courses. I've had a lot of tasting menus, and the plus here is the beef focus made it quite unique, the minus is the beef focus limited their ability to be creative. It was a good tasting menu and very unique, but not one of my best ever. The price was also quite reasonable for what you get and the service was perfect.

    Pretty Decent Concepts absolutely killed it with Uppercut Somehow I managed to snag a reservation (day of) for Uppercut, so obviously no brainer. It's a 2.5 hr 17-course intimate omakase experience, hidden in what looks to be a wine cellar in Cleaverman. Everything absolutely exceeded my expectations, from the thought and love put into each dish, stellar service, and phenomenal quality. Neither of us can stop talking about the flavors or how great the chefs were. They did mention the current menu is inspired by asian flavors and that they will likely release a new course menu based of latin flavors in the coming weeks. Literally worth every penny! We also added the "directors cut" drink package which includes curated drink pairings over the course of your meal.

    Absolutely blown away by our experience. We have done a lot of fine dining and unique food experiences over the years and this takes the #1 spot no question. Our chef was engaging, fun, and provided in depth explanations about the courses we were enjoying. We also got the wine pairing with our meal which was perfectly spaced and included some impressive selections. I'm very picky about the general ambiance and service for a meal of this price point and I was not disappointed. We will definitely be back!

    Well, unlike my other fellow yelpers, I was disappointed with my $650+ omakase dinner at Uppercut! I took my hubby here for Father's Day. He enjoyed it, but I was left feeling bored and not impressed. We were seated close to the corner, and our chef didn't really explain anything to us. I ended up listening to the chef to my left because he spoke loudly and engaged his patrons. Our chef paid more attention to the couple directly in front of him. I had to ask him to engage with us, because we felt left out. Another problem for me is that the meat was cooked to a rare temperature. I prefer my beef to be cooked to med-rare to medium. I literally started gagging a bit while I was eating one the courses because it was damn-near raw. I spit it out in my napkin to avoid throwing up. The service was wonderful and the omakase experience is probably treasured by many. However, I'm a picky eater and I'm not crazy about Asian food, so I think I'm better off ordering my food the traditional way. Don't get me wrong,it was a great experience but it wasn't for me. I will gladly spend $650 for a meal of my choosing, but I have no desire to spend that type of money on a predesigned menu ever again!

    Absolutely perfect on every level. Probably the best meal I've ever had. Worth every penny. Such a unique experience. 5 star food and 5 star service. We'll be back.

    We went to the uppercut for my birthday dinner. The food was absolutely spectacular. has to be one of my top five favorite restaurants in the world. The service was absolutely amazing, from the front staff, bar staff and the service staff in the uppercut restaurant as well as the chefs were absolutely top-notch. The ambience was really nice. Not only in the main steakhouse. But in this secluded, Japanese beef omakase. we will definitely be back. They are planning on doing different flavors of menus 3 to 4 times a year. It is really hard to get reservations. You have to book it quite far in advance. But well worth it. absolutely spectacular. If you have the chance go.

    AMAZING. Hidden inside Cleaverman is an intimate 16 seat meat omakase where everything is prepared in front of you. It's truly worth the price for a special occasion and truly is a one of kind experience you won't find anywhere else in the valley. It features 17 courses (including intermezzo palette cleansers such as soup, shaved ice, and tea, and desserts). It's curated perfectly to be just at the right level approaching fullness without being stuffed or overdoing it. Other omakases I've been to, I've left hungry or am full part way through and can't enjoy the rest. And the pacing of courses is spot on, you're not waiting forever between courses or feeling too rushed to enjoy a course. The chefs guide you through each plate and the best way to enjoy the dish as you'll be tasting AZ Wagyu, Japanese A5 Wagyu, Australian Wagyu and more cuts presented in various ways inspired from around the world. Even the desserts utilize the meat concept in the form of beef tallow. They also offer a beverage pairing to complement the courses from light and refreshing to beer, full bodied wine, and dessert wine.

    We came to celebrate a birthday and it was a really wonderful experience! The service was great, all the servers were incredibly attentive to each couple, all of the chefs were attentive and interactive with all of the couples equally. We recommend coming an hour early, sitting at the Cleaverman bar and having a drink because they will come grab you when the experience starts, very coordinated! There was not a single course we did not like. My favorite restaurant in the world is Canlis in Seattle and this is right up there with it in quality. We will absolutely be back later this year! 10/10 experience, ambiance, staff & evening.

    We really like the Desmond, especially for the pizza. If was pretty empty on a Sunday afternoon,…read morebut it can get packed on a Saturday night. It's a really cute little spot in downtown Phoenix with a full bar and a counter that looks put into the street with window that open in comfy weather. There are some great photo murals and a fantastic order room ceiling We ordered a Wasabi Caesar Salad and a pepperoni pizza to share. Neither of us really tasted the wasabi, but agreed if was a good Caesar. The pizza was sooooo good. They really pack on the pepperoni, and the crust is phenomenal. In fact, it's the reason I like the Desmond so much--that pizza crust! I was passing the guy making pizzas, and stopped to watch him tossing the crust. He was so nice and friendly and kind enough to tell me about pizza tossing. He made it look so easy and fun. What a fantastic young man! He made my visit to the Desmond even better! There is so much to like at The Desmond, and I'm sure we will keep coming back.

We each ordered a pizza but they took almost 45 minutes to arrive, my friend had a simple pepperoni while I had the truffle. The pizzas were ok but at $21 each they weren't worth the wait. When the bill was brought to our table I asked for it to be split by person since my friend an I were paying separately but the staff member split the bill in half so I ended up having to partially pay for my friend's drinks (they ordered something while we were waiting for the pizzas). It's not a big deal but the staff member was like "ok sure" and promptly ignored my request. There was also a 3% credit card surcharge so that was kind of annoying. I left a small tip but that was being generous. I wanted to go to the pub mextdoor but my friend convinced me that we should go here instead. I won't be making a return visit.

Plus some unique coffee drinks that are about nine dollars each! On day one I had a friatta and an egg sandwich for my guest. On day two we tried something different: we had chorizo burrito that was packed with meet. We also had the eggs Benedict that batch chilled on and a spicy Hollandaise sauce. Both days we were pleased with our breakfast. Breakfast entrees range from about 18-22 dollars. On day two, Alex step into help our waitress. I think Alex needs to be promoted as he was very attentive and friendly! I appreciate the kind smile and great work ethic! The restaurant is a good size. Ample seating inside plus a large patio outside good for cooler days. Plus a bar that you can curl up to. The space provides a relaxed environment.

The inside was still cozy and inviting, and there was only a bit of a wait for a table since we did not have a reservation. We decided to sit at the bar instead, which ended up being a great choice. Everything we ordered was delicious, and I especially loved the Three Sisters Bowl. It was so flavorful, fresh, and filling, with a really nice combination of ingredients. The menu had plenty of creative options, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. The bar area was also a fun place to sit, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. This is definitely a popular spot, especially on a busy night in Phoenix, so I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time if you want to sit at a table or enjoy the patio. Overall, we had a wonderful visit and I would definitely come back again!!

The server was friendly, and the kitchen got the order out quickly. I ordered the Old Town--an all-beef couch dog topped with smoked bacon, cotija cheese, pickled jalapeños, and chipotle aioli--along with the BOJ slider. The Old Town hot dog was great, with the cheese and jalapeños working nicely together. Interestingly enough, they use the same buns for the sliders and the hot dog; the hot dog buns were just chained together, and it worked really well. The BOJ slider had a good flavor profile thanks to the caramelized onions and seasoning, though the slider was a little sparse for my liking when it came to the bun-to-beef ratio.

Started to look over the menu and all the options. I ordered the Little Mule and my son ordered the Cowboy 2026 with an order of garlic cojita fries. And to wash it down, a couple of Pauliner beers. The burger was tasty however the bun was charred. The hot dog was okay but nothing to write home about. The fries were served later because the waiter took our food order to the wrong table at first and the people at the table (who had already eaten) told the waiter they ordered the fries but not the burgers. There is a spicy pepper jam on the fries and maybe a little too much sauce. But they were okay. Would go for something different next time. We then ordered a couple of unique beers, one being the Mother Earth Cali Dreamin which by the description sounded delicious because I like a brown dark beer (stout) with a chocolate caramel taste. To my surprise I get an amber looking pilsner that tastes a little like chocolate. A real mind trip as it was not what I expected. Spoke to the waiter about it and all he could say is he just pours it from the tap and couldn't do anything about the color. Dude, just look at the description on your menu. So miss leading. Anyhow, for a quick bite it's an okay spot. But I would stay clear of some of the unique options.
