    Food was amazing, ordered the shrimp tacos and wagyu beef tacos. Ordered another shrimp taco because I thought I would need another one but three was perfect. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Ambiance was perfect. Highly recommend for a fun date night.

    I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the experience was at Society. I surprised my daughter by flying us from Las Vegas to Phoenix for the day. Society went above and beyond with a personalized birthday menu for my daughter and a complimentary dessert after dinner. The service (both the hostess and server named “Bohdan”), the food, and cocktails was exceptional! Highly recommended the charcuterie board. We will be going back for sure! Thank you, Society!

    Our waiter, Jacob, was outstanding! He gave us great recommendations from the menu, was extremely attentive, and even surprised us with a wonderful dessert to help us celebrate our baby moon. The food was outstanding, great ambiance, and probably one of the best servers we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend!
