“⭐⭐⭐⭐ The restaurant earned 5 stars from me, yet I took away one star for the excessively high prices. You can expect to pay nearly twice as much at this restaurant as you would at other similar places. With that being said, the flavors of the food were truly exceptional. I savored every bite of the tandoori chicken, appreciating its succulence, tenderness, and rich flavors. The serving size was decent; nevertheless, the price they were demanding did not seem justified. The palak paneer they served was incredibly delicious, meeting all expectations except for its high price. Despite this, the price is almost twice as high as what other restaurants ask for food that is just as tasty and delightful. When it comes to the taste and flavor of the food, it's a solid five-star experience. Unfortunately, I had to subtract a star due to the excessively high prices.”
“My bestie took me here to the glendale az Melting Pot for my birthday. It was both our first time. It is by far, the best atmosphere, food, service and Alyssa F was phenomenal with all the options, instructions and tips for best cooking, time and options! She was very knowledgeable on all the sauces, add -ons, flavors, seasonings, everything. Definitely worth the money and time. We were there for 2 hours and 15 mins and everything was timed perfectly with the 4 course meal & dessert options.”
“I can't say enough about Marcus the bartender and David. Both were extremely friendly, professional, and prompt with service. True customer service is a lot art and both of these guys made the experience awesome. The food and drinks and atmosphere were excellent as well. When you go, make sure to have Marcus give you a riddle.”

“I go to Wildflower about 2 to 3 times a week, sometimes I bring friends or family too. When I go to order I see Laura the manager, who reminds me to put in my phone #, she is always friendly and personable. I once said to her - I appreciate you and she said : We appreciate you. Usually Makayla will bring my food and I love that she is always smiling and so sweet and kind- Part of the reason I come here is because the food is great and the other part is because the staff is AMAZING !”
“Best Indian food in the west valley! I crave papri chaat, so Saffron hits the spot. All the curries are great - never had something I didn't like. The only downside of this place is it isn't in my neighborhood (and I can't eat everything)! Well worth the drive from Goodyear if you ask me.”

“Assolutamente fantastico!! Never has there been an Italian restaurant that offered so many wonderful choices for just about any diet. Are you kidding me? Zoodles? Spaghetti Squash? This is also one of the few places left that still have angel hair pasta and they use deliciously perfect Roma tomatoes. No sugar added tomato sauce AND everything made in-house? Wow...that's about all I can say about this wonderful gem in the desert. Everything had taste bud pleasing flavor, portion sizes are perfect and at a very decent price. Not to mention service was perfect, immediate and very accommodating. Whether this was a lucky night for us, or the usual for this wonderful place, they have new fans that will back for more. There is a ton of variety to the menu which requires more visits to experience. Don't pass this place up! The only suggestion is the artichoke leaves could be a little more tender using the baby leaves only, however, they are delicious and worth a try.”
“Top marks across the board! My family and I have been dining in here for years and have never had anything but good things to say about them. So for our wedding my wife and I had a German themed wedding that could be described as an old world decorated ceremony and dinner with an Oktoberfest reception. Anyways, we needed food to be catered and there being only about two restaurants in the valley that could support this, we were able to come to an agreement with Chef Luis and his staff here at Haus Murphy's. This was a wedding planned for a max of 175 people to attend, there was not that many to attend but we ordered enough food for that amount of people. Our request was for giant pretzels and stuffed mushrooms for the cocktail hour with their mustard and cheese dips. Main course was Eisbein, The BIG Smoked Beefy Bratwurst, Kilometer, spätzle, potato pancakes, German potato salad, and sauerkraut. Chef Luis nailed it!!! The food was definitely one of THE MOST talked about hits at our wedding and I could not agree more! I love this place and it will always be high on my recommendations for friends and family who visit the valley and is a Downtown Glendale treasure.”

“Food was VERY VERY tasty, but the "iced coffee flight" felt gimmicky, like it was geared towards teenagers. I wouldn't order it again as it felt like it was mostly whipped cream by volume, and the iced coffee was syrupy level sweet.”
“This place is a must! The sushi we had was delicious and the presentation was stunning! All the rolls came out looking like a piece of artwork! The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. It was our first time here and they took tremendous care of us. We can't wait to go back! They had multiple air purifiers inside and every one of the staff was wearing a mask. Everything was stunningly clean and we felt very safe and comfortable. They are definitely doing all they can for their guests during Covid-19!”

“I have never had an issue with the food or my server here. However the last 2 times I came I didn't appreciate the way I was treated by the hostess. My last visit I was there celebrating my 18th wedding anniversary and requested a booth. The booth I requested in my reservation was not left available even though the place was fairly empty. As an alternative the hostess tried to seat us in the booth closest to the bathroom. This means lots of foot traffic. NO THANK YOU! I politely pointed out that I didn't want to be this close to the bathrooms. My request was granted. The server was amazing! Now as for the staff that comes by and refills water and clear the dishes. I do appreciate the diligence in getting the task done so promptly, however it is annoying to be asked by 3 different individuals per course if I'm done with my food. This is FINE DINING... STOP THAT CRAP IT IS ANNOYING! Learn to be observant and pick up on body language. Perhaps casually scroll by and take a peek instead of constantly asking if I'm done. Other than that... Amazing as always! And STILL my favorite steakhouse in the valley!”
“Great food and great service. Wish to point out their exceptional bar service with a special mention of Kallie behind the bar. There are good bartenders and then there are bartenders who love working with people and helping them have a great time. That’s Kallie. I enjoy her interaction with we the customers.”

“Pros: beautiful decor, nice patio, creative drinks presentation Cons: food did not come out together. It took 10 mins for the last dish to come out. The only reason I will not go back is the automatic 22%! gratuity charged to a party of 5! Ridiculous!”
“Relaxed atmosphere with plenty of fun drinks and apps to choose from! Perfect place to meet up with a friend or group to chat, catch up and have a yummy drink!”

“Professional, clean and good tasting food. Great for a quick lunch or nice dinner, definitely recommend.”
“The photo speaks for itself 💙🪽
Dietary restrictions: I’m can’t eat much not even the size of a child and they didn’t make me pay anything for myself just for my company with me! No questions asked! I have a different diet than some for private reasons but was easy to eat and digest for myself and tastes amazing just as the name says 💙🪽”
“INCREDIBLE!!! We come here all the time. It is our go to neighborhood place. We often sit at the bar and enjoy great drinks, the best food, and super friendly service. Today we tried brunch for our son’s birthday. The food surpassed our already extremely high expectations of this place and as expected the service was exceptional!! Yes it is a little pricey but so is everything these day and at least you really get every penny’s worth! I can’t say enough good things!”
“Went there on our second date and been there many times since. This place I recommend them to everyone.”
“I came here for a simple taco and left in an uber after several margaritas later. 10/10 would do again.”
“El Molcajete se ha convertido en un platillo para degustar arrachera camarón y una exquisita combinación con salsa chorizo queso nopal arroz y frijol con tortilla de maíz o harina wowwww”
“The reason i was neutral about atmosphere was it was delivery. Superb cust. Svc- even picked up the slack when delivery svc did not show. I recommend small 5 cold appetiser platter fresh, creamy, subtle tartness.”
“Great place. First time there took my daughter to teppanyaki. Just us in there for lunch. I went to ah so on 75 th ave before. But this is better. A lot smaller restaurant seems more family oriented. Will go back. Steak and calamari was delicious and so was chicken all on teppanyaki”
“Went in last night to have a drink at the bar with my boyfriend. Tammi was working. Always enjoy her service. There was a man at the bar which is there all the time and he was watching nascar with his phone blaring! It also was nascar!! RUDE and selfish! People started leaving. I was pissed and wanted to say something! People have complained about him in the past! He needs to Stop. We as patrons go in to relax! Not listen to his blaring phone. Please stop allowing people to sit at the bar and disrespect others.”
“This has to be the best pizza place I’ve ever been to. Not because the pizza is good (though it sure is!), but the service! Hands down, the best service I’ve ever gotten. Went to the new location on 35th ave and Van Buren. I live two streets over, so you can bet this (and their cannolis) are going to be my new go-to.”
“Todo esta buenísimo y si a eso le sumas la salsas, un 10 de 10! Ahhhh los camarones cucarachas son una delicia!”
“There was only a cold bar, the spectacular, impressive green aguachile.But the octopus toast left a lot to be desired, it was overcooked and lacked seasoning.Michelada well.Service: very friendly”
“I very much enjoyed my morning breakfast of a Chorizo Benni. Such wonderful flavors and a perfectly poached egg. ? When I asked my server about it, she said it was her favorite on the menu, and now I know why. I highly recommend if you like poached eggs (runny yoke) and a bit spicier foods.
Vegetarian options: I did notice some vegetarian options on the menu but did not order any.”
“I loved this restaurant! Super cute vibe and amazing food. The manager was so kind and helpful with deciding what to order. The whole tilapia was out of this world! The fufu was also excellent.”
“Excellent mushroom burgers and Asian chicken salad. Friendly, hard working staff. Lots of TVs for games. The wait for a table in a Saturday evening in March can be well over an hour.
Vegetarian options: Salads”
“Great food and even better service, I highly recommend trying it. The hot wings were great, the crab fries are to die for. Definitely worth going to west valley for their wide selection on their menu.”
“Our favorite local spot. Small restaurant connected to their butcher shop. The best carne asada. Rice and beans are delicious. Love the ladies who work there. Great price for great quality.”
“Excellent pulled pork. It is juicy, tender and tasty. The smoked wings are flavorful and fall off the bone. Great food.”
“Some of the best sushi I’ve had in a long time if not the best ever. Great ramen also. Great atmosphere and dining definitely would go back.”
“Excellent food, Service and atmosphere. The multicourse meal came out perfectly timed, everything was hot and fresh and exactly how I expected it. Our server Sam was wonderful, drinks were kept full without asking extra napkins brought to the table and a giant smile on her face the entire time.”
“O-M-G Another Amazing Sugar Factory Westgate Visit For The Books! Emma’s Customer Service Was Phenomenal 10/10 I Recommend! Food And Drinks Were Yummy Per Usual!”
“Thanks to Aaron we had a good night after being in line at the yard house for an hour we decided to go to Applebee's... Aaron you're the best...😘 Don't forget about us...the two young sister Linda and Lorraine from Glendale .”
“I found this place by chance and was I ever floored. The service was fantastic. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was pretty chill. I ordered a few main dishes so that I could try a few things and everything was perfect. From the guacamole to the tacos to the fresh sushi I enjoyed every single bite. When I’m in town again I’m definitely bringing my friends and family here. Even tho I was alone they treated me like the best guest in the restaurant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I recently dined at this restaurant and had an amazing experience. All the dishes were absolutely delicious, with flavors that were perfectly balanced. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a great place for a relaxed meal.
A special shoutout to our waitress, who made our evening even more enjoyable. She was incredibly attentive, friendly and she ensured we had everything we needed throughout our meal.
Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great food and exceptional service. We will definitely be back!”
“We visited this restaurant for the first time. The food was incredible and so plentiful. The service was outstanding and we enjoyed our experience very much. We will definitely be going back again soon.”
“We went w my husbands job as a treat. It was my first time and i had never golfed before but i had so much fun!! The waiters and waitress were so sweet! Definitely will be going back!!”
“Amazing food and service. Chef Christain iis well named. Came out to apologive because he was out of pork taco. He is one of the nicest prople i have ever met. The food is out of this world. Waiter Ken was so nice snd treated us like royalty. Went back last night waiter Carlos,was equaly wonderful. I have been in all 50 states and many countries. This is my favorite restaursnt ever.”
“This gem has been hiding right under my nose. My friend was craving bulgogi (if that's how you spell it). He googled it and found this place. We visited for lunch. Everything was sooooo good. I tried a deep-fried sushi roll and odun soup, with some egg rolls. He had his beef with glass noodles. Delicious!! Even the complimentary, little side dishes that they brought to the table were so good. The cucumbers and kimchi were my favorites. They've got a new customer for life.”
“The mistake that happened was the Sour Cream & Guacamole sould have been on the Pork Taco, not the Beef. But the Salsa on the Pork with the Pineapple - Phenomenal - I would totally order from here again!”
“I ordered the fried shrimp for an appetizer. The shrimp basket is big enough to be a meal! I couldn’t eat more than 2 shrimp! They were huge!! The batter was okay but not the best I’ve had. I’d give the fried shrimp a 3/5. The catfish basket was very filling and decent. I love hot sauce with my catfish and wished they had some. They had Tabasco sauce! I now see why some women carry hot sauce in their purse ??!! I’d give the basket a 3.5/5 because the fish was mid but the seasoned fries were divine!! We got the Get Your Feet Wet boil & it was underwhelming to say the least. The bag didn’t have eggs even though we asked to add them. The sausage was good but the shrimp wasn’t flavorful and tasted like cocktail shrimp. I’d give the boil bag a 2/5. The flavors weren’t flavoring! The good thing is that everything comes out piping hot and cooked to order. The waiter we had was very helpful and kind. The restaurant was spacious and it didn’t take long to get your order.
Parking: You can do mall parking for free or paid parking in the same lot but it’s closer to the restaurants and shopping
Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly as there were quite a few kids with their parents
Wheelchair accessibility: They were ADA accessible.”
“Take out Togo order easy to order 4out of 5 times they did forget one of the main dinners. I called them and then was able to pick up a fresh order the following day.”
“Went to this place after lions vs cardinals game for dinner. Had a great time. There was a live dj who was really awesome. The service and food were all great. The drinks were good too. We tried a different restaurant first but it had a limited menu on game day but this restaurant had their full menu regardless of there being an event. And there was no wait. We were quickly seated and had no issues. Had a great experience.”
“If you don't have a reservation you are met with a very non-customer oriented Blonde with an attitude. We arrived at 3:30pm for happy hour and were shocked when we could not be seated or accommodated in the bar. Maybe management should post a sign saying we are sorry we cannot assist walk-ins because we only cater to the reservation crowd. This is the third time they have been very rude to us whether we've had a reservation or not. We won't be back.”
