    I have been going to the Wrigley Mansion for many years to celebrate life events with brunch. The history of the place is a part of the history of Phoenix. I have watched renovations and improvements over many years and the Mansion just gets better and better. Our waiter, John, explained the menu and answered all our questions. He was polite and fun. He took care of our every need as did the rest of staff. The food was delicious!

The service is excellent, attentive, knowledgeable, the Chef is one of the best, the presentation is unique and beautiful, the food never disappoints! The atmosphere is gorgeous the restaurant is floor to ceiling windows overlooking the city and just exquisite design from the dinning room, kitchen, to even the bathrooms!

    Fantastic meal, service and vibe! Entire staff was friendly - not just our servers. No complaints about a single thing. Our main server, Jeffrey was very nice to chat with and he was so attentive, it seemed he was always at our table when we needed anything. Don't skip the guacamole or grits! We all had beef entrees which were cooked perfectly and couldn't have tasted any better. Our birthday dessert was a pumpkin bread pudding and it was so delicious I might even like bread pudding now!
