“ Very nice dinner date. We had drinks, grilled swordfish & oysters Rockefeller and ordered the butter cake. The server gave us an extra dessert - coconut pie as well. Everything was delicious, mostly homemade, service was excellent except they were busy and a bit slow - hence the gift dessert. Def worth stopping in - every plate we saw looked great. ”
“ I finally got there after a few years being open. Great place. Very comfortable atmosphere Wonderful service and a varied options to choose from. Have been there for dinner and happy hour ( which they have even on a Saturday)! Happy hour we had shrimp cocktail ( huge shrimp) short rib nachos and prime rib sliders and mini cosmos. Best HH! Dinner we had the Collins burger which was perfect for me , shared the Tuna Poke also delicious and the Pork Milanese my friend had and raved about. I forgot to take pictures. ”
“ Beautiful interior with spacious, comfy seating and music that’s just the right volume—background vibes without having to yell. The menu gives old-school steakhouse energy, but still has a hip, modern twist that even Gen Z would appreciate. They also have a nice patio that looked pretty comfortable. It was a bit hot when we went, but definitely still seemed like a solid option if you're up for some fresh air. Grace and Abby were both fantastic—super attentive, along with the rest of the wait staff. We never had to wait long for water or a drink refill, which always makes a huge difference. Drinks? Solid lineup, but the Badass Mule stole the show. Badass Mule – Easily the best drink of the night. That kick of black pepper and ginger hits just right—spicy in the best way—and the fresh mint on top made it even better. Good Day Sunshine – Tart but sweet, like a grown-up lemonade with real grapefruit juice. Super refreshing. Pear-y Bradshaw – Very smooth, nice pear flavor without being too much. The orange note is subtle but gives it a nice finish. Pineapple Infusion – A little vodka-heavy on its own, but the pineapple aroma is lovely. Would probably shine better in a mixed cocktail. Peach Tea Old Fashioned – Bourbon-forward, with just a hint of peach. If you're a bourbon drinker, it's a win. It's definitely a summer evening drink. Food notes: Deviled Eggs – Kind of a miss. The capers were overly salty and didn’t add much. We picked them off and it helped, but still salty overall. Also, heavy on the filling—not necessarily bad, just a bit much. Oysters Rockefeller – First time trying Rockefeller-style and wow. Rich, creamy, a little ocean-y, kind of like spinach dip meets oysters. So good. Butcher’s Cut 12 oz NY Strip – black and bleu, medium. Flavor was solid—great char, well-seasoned, and the roasted cipollini onion with balsamic glaze was a great pairing. The steak was a bit tougher than I’d expect from a NY strip, but that's likely more the quality of the meat than the quality of the chef (who knocked it out of the park!) . Baked potato was fluffy, loaded with all the right stuff... but honestly disappointing that there was barely any butter. The bleu cheese whipped butter, though? Absolute star. Rich, funky, garlicky—everything you want in a steak topping. Overall, great spot with strong service and solid food. Definitely coming back to try the cornbread and rotisserie chicken next time. ”
“ Most delicious French dip sandwich we have ever had. My only suggestion is they use a dense French bread or sourdough roll so that it holds up better when it’s dipped in the au jus. Sat at the bar. Good service from the bartenders, even though a bit robotic. Beautiful decor and chill vibe. Will definitely return and try something else on the menu because everything that was brought out of the kitchen looked amazing. ”
“ Friend had the seared ahi tuna and loved it. I had the short rib that was tender with a wonderful flavor. We started with the guacamole. Split the key lime pie for dessert. One of the best in Arizona. Service was friendly and attentive as with all of the sister restaurants (Collins Small Batch Kitchen and the Macintosh). Restaurant decor is tasteful, and there is a large outdoor dining patio. ”
“ Excellent experience here. One of my new all-time favorites! Best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. We also enjoyed the shrimp cocktail, sesame ahi, and crab cakes. For dessert we tried butter cake and coconut pie, both delicious. I will definitely be back. ”
“ Grace was our server, with Abby providing backup Pear-y Bradshaw Tito's, orange liqueur, citric acid, St. George's spiced pear SMOOTH! The pear is pronounced, but not overbearing, overall very light and refreshing Pineapple infusion Really good pineapple presence, smooth, would be better chilled (recommend on the rocks) PEACH TEA OLD FASHIONED infused old forester. creme de peche lemon cordial I tried this, but I wasn't a fan, so I switched with my wife for her Badass Mule BADASS MULE ketel one. black pepper ginger syrup. club soda lime squeeze. angostura bitters MUCH more my style, love the pepper bite, still quite refreshing BROILED OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER house specialty creamy spinach bacon. crystal's hot sauce Very creamy, nice spinach flavor, goes down so well DEVILED EGGS whipped yolks. sweet relish. smoked paprika Yolk stacked HIGH, a bit on the dry side, capers on top (not a fan), just ok We split the butcher's cut, a New York strip served black and blue, with a loaded baked potato Steak was cooked properly, a nice medium, topped with a creamy blue cheese butter, served with a cipollini onion covered with balsamic, my only complaint is the potato wasn't seasoned before topping it The decor and the menu lends itself to that sort of old school steakhouse experience, something that your grandfather would appreciate the menu for, but you and your friends like the vibe Great service, nice atmosphere, delicious food Would recommended, would return ”
“ The food drinks are delicious. The customer service in on another level as the waiters to the hostess will make sure you drinks alway filled and you table is clean. For starters we had the artichoke dip and the corn bread to die for and our main meal was the baby back ribs and crab cakes. The portion sizes are enough to share and everything was delicious. Will definitely go back. ”
