I probably shouldn't give this place five stars because that would mean it is perfect and someone is giving you a foot rub and waving a palm frond over your head to keep you cool. But short of that, this place is a sanctuary for the traveler or resident who wants great food, a cool drink, and a place that will remind them of good pubs from the east coast, downtown London, or, well, Phoenix. If you want a burger or something hand crafted and with the word 'infused' they have it along with reasonable prices, and welcome wait staff. They might be a little short on 'after dinner' drinks or desserts that require fire, but what REAL American does their drinking after dinner and eats flaming ice cream anyways? We will leave that to the French.
Do yourself and that visiting family member a favor and take yourself and them here. You won't regret it.
