| - This place is only in its soft opening at the moment, but even without being actually open they are doing some awesome things!
First I'll start by saying the service is impeccable. Typically, when a place is newly open I expect there to be lots of hiccups and missteps by the wait-staff. However, to my surprise this was not the case! We went here on First Friday, and even with a much larger crowd than I'm sure is typical, our server was amazing! She was attentive, extremely polite, and ultimately made our time here great.
I will say we didn't end up having any food this time around, but the cocktails were beyond! I had the Lambord-Gini, which is made with muddled watermelon I believe, and it was to die for. My bf had their take on an old-fashioned (the name escapes me right now) but I tried it, and even not being a big Old-Fashioned fan I thought it was super yummy!
The menu is definitely not what you'll expect coming to a casual place in downtown Phoenix. They have things like oxtail, bone marrow, and other oddities that you might expect to find at more of a fine-dining experience. But the prices are extremely reasonable! So it's everything you love about fine-dining, mixed with everything you love about casual dining. Low prices for amazing, unique food, in a great atmosphere.
We will definitely be back here once they have their grand opening on April 11th, and I will update my review then, once I've tried the food. Until then, I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!
