| - Before I arrived at the Wrigley Mansion Club, I made sure to consult Yelp, as one does, to make the most of my experience. Since I heard that their dining selections were OK at best, I decided to bring two of my friends to Geordie's Lounge during Happy Hour for some appetizers and cocktails. Unfortunately for us, the lounge had been rented out the day we arrived, and we were seated in the dining area, so we didn't get any of the discounts.
We each ordered the Cocktail of the Day, which was a Prickly Pair Margherita served Martini style ($13). Then we ordered the Pancetta Mac and Cheese ($10), Roasted Vegetables with marinara and mozzarella cheese ($10), and flourless chocolate cake($9) to share. We originally ordered the Trio of Gelato, but were informed that they only had the pistachio, so we decided on the chocolate cake instead. We were informed that the sides we ordered were enough to feed 2.5 people and when the food arrived, we decided it was definitely an appropriate amount of food for us. We were also given complimentary garlic bread (which was delicious).
To rate the food, I would say I definitely enjoyed the Pancetta Mac and Cheese the most. It was very delicious and creamy, with bread crumbs and pancetta (Italian bacon). I would definitely order it again. The roasted vegetables were good as well, but overpriced, seeing as I could easily make something similar at home. Finally, the flourless chocolate cake was good as well, nothing I'd have to order again. I had never tried flourless cake before, but I don't know if it's supposed to be a little drier than a regular floured cake. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it.
In order to dine at the club, there is a $5 membership charge per table. My party and I took that as an invitation to give ourselves a self-guided tour of the property. It is a large, beautiful property overlooking Phoenix and since it was nearing sunset when we arrived, there were plenty of beautiful photography opportunities.
I agree with the other reviewers. The view alone is worth the trip here. I would definitely come back and order a few cocktails or appetizers, have a good conversation, and watch the sun set again.
Another tip: my friends and I were able to easily walk up from the self-parking lot to the entrance and it took only 2 or 3 minutes. However, if you're dressed up nicely for an event, wearing high heels, or you are walking in 115 degree weather, I would suggest valeting your car and walking straight up to the entrance.
Overall, I am glad to have been able to visit a Phoenix point of pride while I'm still living here in Arizona.
