    Delicious food and our server was delightful and attentive. The only negative was the noise level made it difficult to have a conversation without constantly repeating ourselves. Live music was very good, but a little loud.

    Waited an hour for food. The waiter disappeared for a long time. I asked the manager for our check. I watched her walk all over the place twice, looking for him. He finally reappeared like 15min later. The salads came out with all of the entrees. Clearly the salads had been sitting there awhile. Some food was hot the rest wasn’t. Pretty terrible experience for choosing this place to have our Christmas Eve celebration dinner. Never going back.

    Overall great. But for the holiday bar, we just thought it’d be more christmasy than what it was.
    Culinary Dropout at the Yard - TempeResponded 4 days ago
    Hello Alissa, thank you for your feedback regarding the atmosphere of Bar Blitzen. We try to provide a fun and festive atmosphere for the holiday, but it sounds like we're needing a few more lights for next year! We hope to see you in again, hopefully we'll have made the festive changes you were looking for and if you have any Christmasy suggestions, please don't hesitate to let us know! Happy Holidays!
