    One of the ladies from the front was rude and barely even acknowledged us as we walked in. All she asked is if we had a reservation and proceeded to do something the iPad and then walked assuming we would follow. Didn’t say a single word. Very unwelcoming.

    The waitress was efficient, friendly and gave great advice on the food and drinks. We had tickets to the Phoenix Symphony so she made sure our tab was processed and we left on time. We will definitely return!!!

    Lovely and lively restaurant in downtown Phoenix across from the Herberger Theatre. We had reservations and while the food and service was fantastic, our table was right next to the bar and the bar station for the wait staff. It was a little hectic and hard to hear each other at our table but we enjoyed our selves nonetheless. It really is a beautiful restaurant with unique craft cocktails. The food was fantastic - not an extensive menu but well chosen items.

    The food service and atmosphere were outstanding. If going downtown for an event or for any other reason, I would highly recommend Tyrone did a phenomenal job. He also acknowledged an unusual special occasion. It was much appreciated.
