I’ve lived here for eight years, Dad’s is across the street. I don’t know why my family and I didn’t know about it. Dad’s is a pot of gold in AZ. Staff and mostly the Chef is off of the charts. Every thing they make, every single dish that they serve are super tasty. I can’t say that about any other restaurants, Thank you dads ;)
I was walking past this place on my way to another, and I was drawn in by the atmosphere. I ordered the burger, and it was amazing! It looked like a piece of art and tasted like heaven. I highly recommend you give them a try!
The bartender was very personable! I really liked him even though I only ordered water, pizza to go and calamari, which was awesome!
It was a little uncomfortable being in such a small place as the server was hanging at the end of the bar looking bored. Then one of the owners came out from cooking, not personable, just to ask the bartender how business was the night before.
Went here for the first time the other day and I was IMPRESSED! We were in the area and searched food on Google maps. The name was catchy so we stopped in. We were a little skeptical when we we saw the sign was nothing more than a banner but we're glad we gave it a shot!
Cassandra, our bartender, was fantastic. My fiancé has a citrus allergy and Cassandra was very accommodating and took the time to make several recommendations. Both drinks that were made custom were exceptional. I ordered the Dad-hattan and really enjoyed it, too.
We made it for happy hour so we started with the Brussel sprouts and the Mac n cheese. Scrumptious! Very much worth the money and set the tone for our entrees. The portions were thoughtful and I was astonished at the quality of the food. We ate it all before we could take pictures!
We ordered the grilled cheese and blackened cod for main course and let me say, WOW! Best grilled cheese I can remember having. The Texas toast was nice and crispy and buttery. The cheese was quality and it had a unique, craveable flavor. I would go back just for it. The blackened cod was aggressively seasoned in the best way and the elote complimented it well.
We were so impressed with the food be bought a third entree just to try. The short ribs pizza was new and interesting. Worth trying but not as tasty as the grilled cheese or cod. We rounded things out with a couple desserts, the espresso creme brulee and a chocolate mousse dish. Creme Brule was BY FAR my favorite ever. It was light and creamy with a kick from the coffee flavor and that lovely crunch. The mousse was a heavier option that definitely will satisfy any chocolate craving. 10/10 got what we paid for. Will be back often!
This place has the makings of a great neighborhood bar. Really nice use of space and clean design style with a long elegant bar stretched along one wall. Very welcoming environment. It turns out this new location is a renewed concept from a previous location. The menu is very interesting with some very creative and unique items mixed with Italian classic dishes. Check their web site for the latest menu as some menu photos on Google Maps appear to be outdated. We ordered calamari and a couple of pizzas. The calamari was very tender and pretty tasty. We had the cheese pizza and their Margherita. Both were fresh out of what looked like an old-world style brick oven. The crust appeared to be hand tossed, had a great flavor, and was very nicely crisp and light. Perhaps a bit too light to support the generous amount of cheese on the regular pizza, which also made it difficult to taste the sauce underneath. Their take on a Margherita pizza seemed more like a white pizza - but it was very good. We had great service and the place had a friendly vibe to it. Good selection of beer, wine, and specialty cocktails. I spotted a few other items on their menu that I plan to return to try out.
