    Service was very slow. Took a long time for the server to come take our drink orders, then he failed to mention all the beers they were out of. Drinks took a long time to come. Same with the food. When it did arrive it was very good. Not a great overall experience.

    We were a little late for our reservation but they held our nice table for us. They were definitely short staffed. Drinks were good, $20 for a skinny margarita. Food was good also. My French dip was fabulous. We had to hunt down our waiter for the check.

    The food was absolutely amazing. The staff were all very, very nice. The only recommendation I would make and it’s no fault of the hostess someone higher up is telling her to do this but anyway when we arrived, we said we had reservations and she said she’d go and check on our table and she handed us a menu and said we could go ahead and start looking at the menu and I thought that was a bit rushed and it’s usually part of the sit down experiences looking at the menu together not in the lobby

    Great food and drink selections. Off the appetizer list, the Sesame Ginger Tuna Tartare was excellent. off the main menu, the Braised Beef Short Rib, Lobster Carbonara, and Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna were all outstanding. The Lobster is such a rich dish, it really could be a smaller portion, but it was so good, I finished it all (even though I left feeling a little uncomfortable. The wine selection is ample and paired well with the menu items. All in all a very good dining experience. We will be back next time we are in/near downtown Phoenix

    Another great meal at the Blue Hound Kitchen! From the creative cocktail menu to the inventive and delicious food available, this restaurant has become a favorite for sure. We have been lucky to have Sara as our server for each visit and she is warm, welcoming, and attentive without being over bearing. We are already looking forward to our next dinner there.

    The host tried to sit us around a pillar wall away from the whole meet section of the restaurant I was done then but my wife insisted we stay . So then the waitress forgot about us ,the food was mediocre and the drinks were sugary only thing good was the parking no lie, in and out no problem didn’t even pay. I wouldn’t recommend especially if you’re a black couple.

    Ordered a lime daiquiri and was curious as to why it arrived yellow in color. The taste was awful. Sent back. Went with a brut rosé instead of risking another cocktail. That be inf said, the cocktail my husband ordered off the menu was smoked and really really good. The lobster Mac is not lobster. Maybe crawfish? Caesar salad was more of a southwest salad and overdressed. The burger was really good-would’ve been outstanding if they used the pretzel bun instead of the sesame bun that was crumbly. Chicken sandwich overcooked and dry. Ambience was amazing and the service was very good.
