    Overall fun vibe, the server did a nice job of being involved but not circling constantly given it was slower. I would recommend doing a better job holding up your dress code standards, gentlemen allowed to enter in sneakers, running shoes and golf shorts throw off the overall vibe. Food was good and drinks are high quality, but you can get both for less and no cover at similar venues

    Amazing experience, great vibe. The beauty and talent met our expectations. We were only there for music and a nightcap, so didn’t eat. The cocktails were good and the staff was great. Enjoyed the music. It may have been a couple of dollars over priced per cocktail. However, I will recommend this place and look forward to coming back again. My only complaint is they don’t require guests to follow their dress code. If you have a dress code, follow through. It was disappointing to see men in work and graphic T-shirts while the rest of us made the effort to meet their guidelines.

    Gorgeous spot, loved the ambiance. Didn’t try any food but the drinks were delicious! Band was great, singer was phenomenal as well. Received excellent service which was appreciated. Was definitely worth the late date night reservation time slot!

Uninviting The singer looked too casual No charm No glam She sang only like for 20 min and then disappeared Food is too expensive Drinks are good but too pricey It was boring!!!!

    Restaurant was excellent food was amazing. We did receive our food a little bit later than expected then we were told we had 30 minutes to eat, but kindly went up. The managers came by and extended our limit to our table overall excellent experience we did not order because they were out so for our anniversary we didn’t get to have dessert amazing place definitely will come back.

    This is a wonderful place, and EXACTLY what North Scottsdale needed! THE spot for a date or a girls night out, as my friends and I did. Sexy, Art Deco, Dark, Loungey, AMAZING live music. YES. Chef's kiss. I'd recommend ordering your usual drinks, as theirs are slightly meh for $25 a piece. I will make this spot a go-to, for sure. And for God's sake....dress up when you go! It's better that way for everyone! ;)

    Tell a Friend is a very nice place with an elegant ambience, service and drinks. Pricey drinks and food but worth it. Only disappointment was the adherence to the dress code. Gentlemen in baseball hats and t-shirts and young ladies in short shorts took away from the elegant ambience expected.

    Enjoyed seeing this new place - would have been better if we could have gotten in during the musical performance - only issue we encountered was that I had my 89 year young mother with me and lots of stairs down and up - no elevator - this should be shared on the website - Would definitely go back!
