    I have been here in the past in the evening and it was such a wonderful experience that I thought I would try their brunch. Such an elegant atmosphere on the patio with top notch service from the staff. We had a phenomenal waitress named Sasha who made our experience amazing. She took lovely pictures of my daughter and I. The food was delicious and incredibly tasty. I highly recommend this stunning experience. Also, gratitude to the chef who provided a complimentary appetizer.

    Walked in late for our reservation, the staff kindly greeted and sat us, from the entry to our dessert the experience was one of the best I’ve had in the past 15 years of downtown dinning. The attention from the staff as group in the entire restaurant was truly a testament to the culture that has been created at the Arrogant Butcher. We look forward to our next experience. Happy Holiday’s! ABOMB the artist

    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.
