It was our first visit and we discovered while there that this is the sister restaurant to The Culinary Dropout. Several of the menu items were very similar to Culinary Dropout. Our experience was great. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We were told it is a from scratch kitchen, which we love. We ordered the wings, Mac n cheese and split a burger. The server had it brought out to us already split, which was nice. We sat outside on the patio as the weather was perfect. We definitely recommend giving The Arrogant Butcher a try.

Great atmosphere, great food. I ordered the Kumiai Oysters l, my first time having west coast oysters. They were delicious! I really enjoyed the jalapeño Mignonette! It complimented the oysters well. For my meal, I had the jambalaya. As a certified Cajun myself, I was very impressed with their take on jambalaya. It had all the staples in it: rice, okra, chicken, sausage, shrimp, etc. for being thousands of miles away from Louisiana, they did well! Service was amazing here. Server had great knowledge of the menu and could give real world suggestions based on his tastes. Well done! Would definitely come back.

Made my reservation and they called promptly to confirm short after—- this was our first visit —— Did not disappoint! The food was very good and came out pretty fast also! Service was top notch. Inside of this place gives off a nice vibe and feels like you’re in an upscale restaurant. 10/10 experience ** the will validate parking for the garage under their location only - not the parking garage right across the street and Washington/1st

This was recommended by our airport shuttle driver and we had a wonderful experience! Food tasted very fresh and our server was personable and helpful with questions that we had! This included a virgin cocktail that was tart and refreshing in this intense heat, and didn't feel like it would dehydrate me more. We sat outside and it was comfortable and a very chill atmosphere with the fairy-type lights!

First time here, service was great and so was the food and drinks. I got a lemon drop martini and my friend got the expresso martini all so good. It was my friends birthday and she got a delicious dessert on the house. Loved the quiet room in the back, I got meatballs so tasty and my friend got the fish n chips. This is walking distance to Chase field and the PHX Arena. Highly recommend.

This place is dope! Loved the vibe! We had a concert at the Van Buren and I picked this place based off the name and location. We had an amazing dinner and service! Bottle of red wine, filet for me and salmon for my friend, both delicious! Oh we also had the crab artichoke dip for appetizer. Open view kitchen as well!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I made a reservation and was seated promptly upon arrival. The service was excellent — my waiter was extremely friendly and welcoming, offering great recommendations right off the bat. 10/10 for hospitality! I ordered the salmon and a Paloma, and both were absolutely delicious. The salmon was packed with flavor, far beyond what I was expecting — it truly tasted like homemade cooking in the best way possible. The Paloma was refreshing and balanced perfectly with my meal. The music was also a super vibe, which made the whole atmosphere even better. Overall, it was such a great meal experience from start to finish. You’re doing good, team — I’ll definitely be returning!

I have been here a handful of times and I will say this past weekend was very underwhelming. To start, it was a little difficult to add 3 more people to the reservation to make it 10 people total so we went a little earlier at 5:30 PM. But we walked into the restaurant, and there was a gazillion tables empty. They would not seat us until at least half of our party was there so got a quick drink at the bar.to wait. Again, it was not very busy so easy to grab seats at the bar They did take us to the back right more private room, which was nice and where I sat last time. Ambience and vibe is nice! My girlfriend was not happy with her truffle fries, the wings and tuna were just OK. Very disappointed in the crispy shrimp, they were just like popcorn shrimp with an aïoli on the side. Very basic - not worth $18 for sure! Came with 1 Shishito Pepper. Two friends that were with us are gluten-free and they were all out of the sea, bass which they both really wanted (Saturday at 6 pm by the time we ordered) so she got the salmon and it was just plain, nothing to write home about. I’ve had better salmon that I cooked at home. I remember my meal last time being amazing so it was very disappointing. 4 stars is probably too generous
