I've decided that I like places where the menu is not 5 pages long. This way, you know what the restaurant is good for and known for and you go there for those specific items or specialties. Arrogant Butcher was a place that fits this description.
It's located in downtown Phoenix which is very close to US Airway center and the Chase ballpark. The place itself was quite huge with three different seating areas (the bar, main dining, and private rooms). The staff was nice overall and service was prompt because every server pretty much helps out each table. I know this may not seem like a huge factor but I liked it.
We ordered the pretzel and fondue which seems like a hit for everyone. it was good no doubt, but you would prolly get sick if you ate too much of it. As for the main course, I had the King crab cioppino which was excellent! Gf had the short rib stew which was also excellent. We polished those dishes until it was clean and was full with satisfaction.
Drinks were on the okay side. I had an old fashioned which was kinda watered down. Overall though, it was a very enjoyable experience with the food being the best part. Will definitely repeat again!
