Whew my first dining experience in Arizona did not disappoint. My boyfriend and I came out for Valentine’s Day and since it was my first time ever in Arizona, I was really excited to try the food. Safe to say it lived up to the hype.

I ordered the Wise Decision to start and it was so good, super refreshing and easy to drink. We got the milk bread, tuna pineapple ceviche, and the Pibil dumplings and honestly everything hit. The milk bread was warm and soft with that perfect buttery pull. The ceviche was fresh and bright with sweet pineapple that made the tuna pop. The dumplings were flavorful and savory with just the right amount of spice.

I also had to try the melted cast iron brie and wow. It came out hot and creamy with fruit and pecans and every bite was sweet, salty, and rich in the best way. My boyfriend ordered the white oak grilled chicken skewers and those were easily a ten out of ten. Juicy, smoky, and full of flavor.

We didn’t stay for mains because we had other reservations, but after that lineup we already know we’re coming back for the full experience. Our waitress Amber was super sweet and attentive which made it even better.

Coming from Miami, I have high expectations when it comes to food, and this definitely delivered. I’ll be back for sure.

Filthy Animal in Tempe is an absolute standout and delivers an experience that’s bold, indulgent, and incredibly well executed. From the moment you sit at the bar, the energy is electric and the bar service is fantastic, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely engaging, making the entire evening feel effortless and fun.

The martinis are excellent…expertly crafted, smooth, and perfectly balanced.

The food is just as impressive. The milk bread is phenomenal, warm, soft, and dangerously addictive, the kind of starter you’ll be thinking about long after you leave. The lamb chops are truly decadent, cooked to perfection with rich flavor and tenderness that melt with every bite. It’s clear that every dish is made with intention and confidence.

What really ties it all together is the fantastic full menu, creative, bold, and consistently delicious from start to finish. Paired with top-tier bar service and a vibrant atmosphere, Filthy Animal is a must-visit for anyone looking for exceptional food, standout cocktails, and an unforgettable night out.

Such. A. Vibe! Aesthetics are through the roof and so is the service. Taylor did a great job taking care of us, giving recommendations, and answering any questions we had. I thoroughly enjoyed being on the patio right on Mill & University.

The food was so good too! It is a bit pricey for portions, but the quality is done nicely. Highly recommend the Pibil Dumplings and the Croquettes! The chicken skewers are also very fresh and tender!

They do complementary valet at the parking garage near/behind the AMC!

We visited Filthy Animal for our second time on 2/7 to celebrate an early Valentine’s Day, and overall it ended up being a great experience—thanks largely to how the team handled a hiccup.
I had made our reservation about two weeks in advance for around 3pm and I even called a week prior to confirm the restaurant hours. I was told by phone they had expanded hours and that we’d be able to order from the dinner menu at that time, which was important since this menu had items we wanted to order.
When we arrived, the hostess and our server were both prompt and polite, but we were only given the Happy Hour menu, which had very limited options and didn’t include most of the items we wanted on it. Our server apologized and explained that the manager said the dinner menu wasn’t available yet. We had taken an Uber 40 miles to the restaurant, hadn’t eaten that day, and we were now concerned we might have to leave and find another place.
This is where Jake, our server, truly saved the day. He listened, understood the situation, and went back to the manager and kitchen to explain what had happened with our reservation and expectations. Because of his effort, we were able to order the Tomahawk steak, which was exactly what we had planned.
The Tomahawk was fantastic, as were the steak tartare and the edamame hummus appetizers—everything was excellent. More importantly, Jake’s service turned what could have been a disappointing experience into a memorable one.
Thank you to the team for making it right. How a restaurant handles a hiccup says more than a perfectly smooth visit, and we really appreciated the effort. We’re very much looking forward to celebrating our next special occasion here.

Everything we ordered was delicious, but the pork belly skewers are in a league of their own. They literally melted in my mouth. The glaze was the perfect hit of savory and sweet, and the texture was spot on. It’s one of those dishes you’ll be thinking about for days afterward.
Our waitress was fantastic—incredibly attentive without being overbearing. She kept our drinks filled and checked in at just the right times, making us feel genuinely welcome.

Finally tried Fifth Animal in Tempe and it did not disappoint. We started with fresh oysters and the tuna tartare both incredibly fresh with a great spicy kick that made the flavors really pop. Perfect dishes to share. I also had one of their mezcal cocktails, which was smoky, smooth, and perfectly balanced, a great match with the food.

Fun atmosphere, bold flavors, and a fantastic new addition to the Tempe dining scene. Definitely coming back!

We had such a fun time! From walking into the jungle atmosphere, to the creative and tasty cocktails, to the delicious food! We got the tomahawk, which was not only a performance (thanks to the chef) but also cooked perfectly and made for a satisfying dinner! Our server was amazing, she was attentive and made an effort to make us feel welcome and important. We had an allergy at the table and she knew exactly which foods to direct us too and which ones she recommended. Made for a great last dinner while in town before heading back to California. We will definitely be back to check out the separate lounge next time!

Wife took me here for my birthday.
The lemongrass chicken was excellent, easily the highlight of the meal. The vibe was fantastic and the service staff constantly refilled water, which was a really nice touch.
A runner brought our food out, and our waitress checked on us once right as I was finishing my chicken. She then spent time chatting with the table next to us, and we didn’t get another check-in until the end of the meal.
Unfortunately, the fried rice wasn’t good. I took one bite, mentioned it to the waitress, and even tried it with the aioli she suggested, but it didn’t help. When she asked again how it was, I told her I didn’t like it. Right after that, we were handed the check.
It wasn’t until my wife was signing the receipt and asked about boxing it up that the issue was addressed. Once it was clear I didn’t like it, the waitress went to the manager and had it removed from the bill, which I appreciated.
The whole situation could have been avoided with a bit more attentive follow-up during the meal. Overall, great food and atmosphere, but the service pacing could use some improvement.

We went to Filthy Animal for New Year’s and had the BEST time. Our server Cadence, I believe that was her name, was amazing. She was so attentive and welcoming and made the whole night feel effortless. We never felt rushed and were able to really enjoy ourselves.

The food was a hit from start to finish. The dumplings and ceviche were delicious, the brie cheese was chef’s kiss, and the tomahawk presentation was such a moment. Dessert was the perfect way to end the night.

We shared a whole bottle of wine and soaked in the vibe because the atmosphere was just that good. Great food, great service, and an all around fun experience. Definitely coming back.

The Filthy Animal is an up-scale establishment offering fine dining and a romantic atmosphere located in Tempe.
Reservations are definitely required to get a seat. Book well in advance to get indoor seating. We booked the day before and the patio was the only seating available on a Saturday night.
The service was on point with wait staff eager to get whatever you need.
We had the Bone Marrow for an appetiser. Very good. For the entree, we had the Pork Chop and the Bone-in Short Rib. When the waiter placed the plated Rib on the table, you could see a little jiggle resembling jello, the short rib was just that tender. The Pork was very tender as well and seasoned just right.
Highly recommend checking out this fine dining restaurant.
