Very good food choices…. variety of small plates like tacos, sliders, also shrimp and calamari. It was lovely to sit outside in the Arizona sunshine to enjoy our meal. Great service too.

Giant salad. Good as hell. Calimari is light and crispy, not rubbery at all. Good service and decently priced.

We got takeout desserts, which were quick. The expert baker in our family said the Triple berry pie was superb with both an excellent crust and filling. The churros filled with apples were great. The chocolate decadence cake was also dark chocolate delight. Outstanding desserts!!

Great place to have brunch on Sunday. Nice champagne served by the glass. We set by the fireplace. This place is already decorated for Xmas. Also great dinner options.

We had a very good lunch here today on the outdoor patio at Venues. Everything was a little slow, but I think all restaurants are suffering from lack of staff, so I don’t let it bother me. Our meals were very tasty and their prices are fair, including for a glass of good wine. Our server was friendly and efficient, and he apologized for the longer than normal time to be served. I’m probably the only person who cares about this, but I like that their music was very unobtrusive. (I hate loud music when I want a peaceful meal.) I can recommend this restaurant. We will be going back soon.

This place was amazing!! When I went there I got greeted by the workers and the food was amazing! What restaurant do you know that gives you nacho cheese with your onion rings? Beautiful place I really suggest that you go there if your in AZ.

Wonderful experience! Went for my birthday lunch. Nice, casual atmosphere. Beautiful view of the desert garden across the street. Erick provided outstanding service. The food is GREAT! Sweet Heat Burger is a MUST try. Lemon Meringue Pie given for my birthday was excellent and made the experience extra special.
