Lovely place to go enjoy some holiday magic and still be able to hear your friends. Wonderful ambience. Service was good, and having valet parking was nice too. We went early in the evening so was not crowded. Also made a reservation to insure we’d get a table. Started getting busy as we were leaving, so I’d imagine weekends are very busy.

Had the opportunity to take my daughter, her husband and their French foreign exchange student to dinner with my wife and I. All three are vegetarian while my wife and I are not. Everyone was able to find exceptional dishes that exceeded their expectations. This has become one of our favorite restaurants in Phoenix and its proximity to Sky Harbor makes for a great place to take folks from out of town when arriving in the late afternoon or early evening. Never disappoints

It truly wonderful experience. We had a lovely table with a server who was there absolutely when we needed her and was able to provide us with updates on our dinner reservations at Wren and Wolf. The handcrafted cocktails were out of this world and left us thrilled with the whole experience. We will be back with more out of town visitors.
