We chose Blue Hound for dinner before our show at the Orpheum theatre. The menu was fun and our food choices were excellent. The French dip had some special onions omit and sides of horseradish and French onion dip for a grand flavor. My wife had the lobster roll which had a very good amount of lobster nicely done. We chose the side salad and lobster Mac to share. Sara our server did a great job and was very professional. She made us feel right at home as first time diners. We needed a little help on directions and parking and Chris who was one on the supervisors was very helpful and treated us as if we were long time customers. All around great place with wonderful views of the city. We will make it one of our “go to “ places when visiting downtown Phoenix. Only mistake we made was not reading far enough in Open Table to know it was inside the Palomar Hotel so had a little trouble finding it. Once you know that , the hotel comps two hours of parking in their ramp which is good amount if time as the service and food were very timely.

Three of us stopped in for dinner and cocktails before a concert. We shared a roasted brussels appetizer and ceviche, which were both excellent, as were the cocktails. However, we also ordered a salmon entre, which didn't arrive. Our server apparently forgot it, as well as drink orders. It shouldn't have been a problem as the restaurant was nearly empty, but we were evidently not a priority. We will not be returning.

Food was absolutely perfect. The scallops were perfection and my boyfriend loved the blackened salmon. Sarah was our server and she was kind and attentive! The building has great Xmas decor and the staff were all really accommodating! Highly recommend. The drinks were also 10/10, always sunny in AZ was similar to a pina colada.
