Highly recommend this restaurant; it’s my favorite in the entire Phoenix metropolis! It has never disappointed. Attached is a picture of the hatch green chili burger; it was to die for! The indefatigable owners, Cameron and Cindy, have been great friends for years. I’m sure you’ll find something on their menu to become obsessed with!

Had a great dinner with friends before a show at the Mesa Arts Center. I had been wanting to try this place for awhile and am glad I did. The atmosphere was cozy, the waitstaff very attentive and the food tasty. Lots of great wines as well. I especially liked that they had vegan options. We definitely will be back

Service and food was outstanding.
I walked into this restaurant after a awful
Day I had and left with a smile.
The two owners who served me and were so
Friendly and personable, they really made my night so much better.
They had a wide variety of some of the best wine I have tried here in Arizona.
Staff is very knowledgeable about the food and drink they serve. All the dishes are made from scratch.
I had the chicken Parmesan, along with the Sweet chili shrimp which were both phenomenal.
This is a must try! This is my new favorite spot in Mesa, I will be back.

The food was amazing. Most of the menu is available gluten-free. They were so accommodating. Highly recommend, delicious and cozy.

The food was average overall. The service was good. We chose this restaurant because it was close to a show we were seeing at the Mesa Arts Center. Probably won’t go again.
We were in 12/17. I ordered the chicken Parmesan and a tossed salad. The chicken was tough. I did not mention this to the waiter as I felt it was edible.

We recently hosted our wedding dinner at this venue and it was pretty bad. The servers were all great and had positive energy but despite pre ordering 80% of the meals the service was slow and there was little to no organization. It took almost 3 hours to serve everyone. As the bride, I was served (almost) last and when I asked for a cup of water was told I’d have to get a foam cup because they ran out of glassware. The food was very inconsistent with some friend feedback stating it was too salty and other stating flavorless. I will say the recipe for the shrimp pasta might need to be reconsidered because the lemon flavor was overwhelming making the pasta almost inedible. The owners are lovely people and the price was right which is why we selected this venue but they just are not equipped to handle a “large” crowd. I used quotations because I am not certain I define 50 people as large when the rest of the restaurant may have only had 15 people on the other side.
On a side note, we went a couple weeks before the event to taste some of the food. We ordered 2 entrees and enjoyed them to some extent but the owners sat in front of us drinking wine and carrying on. I was thinking they’d at least offer us a glass considering we paid full price for a tasting and we booked an event. They even gave one of the services a glass right in front of us. Just a bit off putting. Overall, I was thankful to just find a place at such short notice but if I could do it over again I would have rented larger place and had in home catering.

Me and my husband both had a great time here we had the chili shrimp for the appetizer was delicious. I had the lemon chicken linguine, which was the best lemon chicken I’ve ever had. My husband had the steak. He said it was tasty and cooked well. If you’re a wine lover you’ll love this place. Every server was working hard. Great atmosphere

I’m not one to leave reviews but unfortunately I had no choice on this one. We had a reservation at 7pm on February 15th. We were greeted by the nicest gentleman and were seating fairly quickly. The waters were brought over fairly quickly but then we noticed it took about 10 minutes to get our drink order taken which wasn’t a huge deal. Our male server came over and took our drink order and we let him know that we were ready to order our food (multiple of our menus were different from other ones we had). He started to take our food order and got through 2 out of 4 of us when he was interrupted by a lady with wavy hair that was a lighter color, i’m assuming the manager. She told our server that there was food that was ready to be taken out and made our server stop taking our order and take the food out. We then watched this same lady walk away and do absolutely nothing. Our server then goes and grabs the food and serves the other table. I have NEVER had this happen while eating at a restaurant. We as a group decided to go to olive garden and leave at this point. The server came back and he apologized for how it happened and we let him know that we were not upset with him one bit and understood that he was ordered to stop taking our order. As we were leaving, I went up to the lady and let her know that it was highly unprofessional of her to do what she did. She then stated that she should not have taken the table of 6 and that they were slammed. There were 4 tables in the building that were occupied. 2 of which were the male servers and 1 of the tables i did not see anyone go up to them in the short period we were there. I then let her know that we saw her do nothing after she insisted our server take the food and that she could have taken the food herself. She apologized and i informed her that we would be leaving. Please review the cameras around this time to see exactly how everything played out. i would never recommend my friends to this place due to the actions from this lady. Maybe she was having a hard day but it was not okay with how we were treated. Just to preface, our male server was not the problem and seemed very busy. This lady seemed to not be busy and not helpful in the slightest. I hope someone gets this poor guy more help and not the same help from this women. Thank you

I tried the Antelope burger. It was excellent. I can’t say enough great about this place. The food is cooked perfect to order and the owner and wait staff are the best. They work together as a team should. If you are wanting a formal atmosphere for date night I would recommend them. Casual attire is welcome.

What a find! Stepped in to a delightful restaurant with real friendly hosts. The service and conversation is only out done by the taste of the food. Enjoyed so much came back the next night to try something different and it was great too. Chicken Parmesan was fantastic with a little kick of spice. Shrimp scampi was quite tasty. The beer was cold and the best part was Sally the waitress one of the honest real people you meet.
