The location is awesome, its literally across the street from the US Airways arena, and there's alot going on in this block. The ambiance is really nice, and they have some really cool photo's around the place, but as you know what I say, It's all about the food. The prices are pretty high and the food and portions are nothing to brag about. We arrived on a Saturday night, it was 10 of us. We made a reservation at 6:00 and we're seated right away. The service was pretty poor, but since we had a big group, figured there would be more than one waiter for our table. We ordered some appetizers which we split and my lady ordered the Chicken stuffed with crab with a side of potatoes. I ordered the Fish and Chips. I hear some really positive reviews about their pretzels and fondue, but I thought it was gross. We were all talking and chatting, and by the time we dived in the fondue, it developed a thick layer on top, which you commonly see from processed cheese like Velveeta, and when I dipped the pretzel it pulled the thick layer with it. That's why its under a fire, cause soon when it gets room temperature, it hardened up. Not impressed at all, but if you like Velveeta, you might like their fondue. The meat and cheese board was a joke, and the hummus was bland. The main course arrived. Since I had a horrible experience with my last fish and Chips (The Codfather) I felt I needed something to redeem my last experience. The fish and chips were pretty good. I requested some tartar sauce, not this ranch cr*p they gave me and malt vinegar, but it never arrived. So I just ate it plain. My lady ordered the Chicken stuff with crab dish. Like I read in a previous post, I have no clue what it was stuffed with, cause it sure wasn't crab. It was like minced crab if anything else. Really disappointing dish, especially for that price.
Food=C. Very mediocre. Portions are small and very little creativity. Appetizers were terrible and quality of the ingredients are poor. I have no clue what that chicken was stuffed with. If I had to bet, it was minced crab out of a can. Terrible.
Service=D. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. We had 10 people in our group and he tried to accommodate everybody, but clearly couldn't handle the group. I had to request my drink to be refilled several times and it took a while to get it filled. I asked for lemons for my lady, it never arrived. I asked for Tartar sauce and Malt Vinegar, that never arrived either.
Not impressed with The Arrogant Butcher. I've been to several FOX concepts restaurants but this one is probably the worst. Culinary Dropout is a close second. I do like North a lot though. Maybe I'll just stick to that one.
I do not recommend this place at all.
