| - I had set up a group event for Saturday afternoon at The Draft in Mesa. The issue with my group is that even though 25-40 people RSVP that they're going, sometimes only 5 people will show.
I arrived at The Draft about an hour early for my group (without reservations) and they were able to accommodate me. I had my option (at 1pm on a Saturday it was surprisingly not busy) of being inside or out on the patio. I chose the patio since I wasn't sure if we had smokers in our group. I asked about being able to watch hockey on one of the many TV's they have in the establishment, and again, they accommodated me right away. As my group arrived slowly and one by one (a total of 19 people showed), the one waitress we had was amazing. I wish I had gotten her name so I could give her props. She was constantly coming outside to check on us, refill our drinks, and check for new group members.
I ended up eating the Butterfly Shrimp, with a Basket of fries and for dessert, their chocolate pizza cookie. The butterfly shrimp was amazing, and was served hot; the fries were homemade and seasoned wonderfully. The chocolate pizza cookie was out of this world! Now one of my group members had the brownie dessert, and that looked amazing as well, so I'll be trying that the next time I'm there. Along with my Ice tea (which in my opinion was great tasting without any sugar added) my bill was $23. Not bad in my opinion for the amount of food I received. My group members were all happy with their food, their service, and the prices. The only reason there is one star missing from this review is that The Draft didn't have enough pitchers to just put out water and ice tea pitchers on the tables. NOW in their defense, lol, the glasses you get your drinks in are, I believe, 32 oz. But with it being a little warm that day, and out on the patio, being able to refill our own drinks would have been nice.
I'm definitely going to have my group meet here on a regular basis. I want to try just about everything on the menu, as it all just looks heavenly.
