The 16 Hottest New Restaurants in Phoenix Right Now

"When it comes to offbeat decor, this bougie new venue from Teddy and Katie Meyers (who also own Chico Malo in CityScape) corners the market. To some, the cavernous, dimly lit space is gorgeous, to others a bit bizarre, given that every nook and cranny is filled with taxidermied wolves, exotic stuffed birds, and otherworldly murals of those same creatures. It’s a cool downtown haven for whiling away the time over excellent cocktails (devised by consulting mixologists Libby Lingua and Mitch Lyons) and on-trend dishes such as beef carpaccio, ceviche, hiramasa crudo, and a three-pound hunk of bone marrow that brings dinosaurs to mind. For a splurge, try A5 wagyu, cooked on Japanese charcoal at a table-side hibachi, which ranges in price from $125 to $210, or a 16-ounce beef Wellington for two that requires 24-hours notice." - Nikki Buchanan

"Wren & Wolf may be new, but it is quickly becoming a downtown Phoenix staple. Upon entering you are immediately greeted by a rusticly chic interior, complete with a taxidermy wolf in the middle of the dining room. The lavish menu focuses on elevated comfort food including an A5 Salisbury steak, truffled mac and cheese, and, to top it all off, a table-side caviar bump that is as fun as the name suggests." - McConnell Quinn

Sunday Brunch at Wren & Wolf is a must-do if you have the time! Great food and great service in a very cool place. The cinnamon roll is huge & delicious, and can be shared by 2-3 people. The smoked salmon eggs Benedict was very good too. Big servings, you will definitely leave full!

First time in Phoenix and stopped here when checking out the downtown area. First of all, great location and very nice inside. It had a very upscale and relaxing vibe and the staff was very nice and professional. I'm a foodie and trying unique and good food is what it's all about... and this place did not miss. The menu has quite the selection from drinks to apps and mains... some things I've never even had before so it took me a minute to decide but it was all amazing. The bone marrow was off the charts and really set the tone. The filet mignon was great and very tender. My party at the table had the salmon I'm told was great and the duck which I tried a little of and was equally impressive. I'm convinced I could randomly choose anything on the list and be more than happy with it. Also heard there was a secret ish speakeasy in the back that sounded legit... if I had more time next time that would be great to check out.

Okay, so I have mixed reviews here. Our reservation was for 7 pm and we didn't get seated until 7:45 pm. Apparently, this is normal for Wren & Wolf. We sat in a nice lounge area to wait while having a few drinks. However, the music was so loud it was difficult to hold a conversation with people across from us. This is my number one complaint, way too loud and late seating. The menu had great variety. My salad was excellant and the beef wellington was okay. It's not a great puff pastry outside. The seafood tower left a lot to be desired and wasn't thrilled with the oysters, shrimp, or lobster/crab legs. The bread appetizers were very good. We didn't have dessert. This would be a fun night out with the guys or girls, but for business, it's a bit dodgy. It was just way too loud. I also didn't like the chairs as they were low to the ground and half the table were seated in a booth which was much higher than the low chairs so I felt like I had to constantly sit up all night to hear everyone. We were a party of 8 and I basically only spoke with 3 people on my side of the table all night due to the noise. Our waitress and support staff were excellant and very kind.

Me and my wife wanted to spend somewhere special for our anniversary and she found this fantastic spot at Wren and Wolf. I will say from top to bottom that the service was OUTSTANDING. It felt like everytime our waiter was near when we needed him or wanted to ask a question, yet was not hovering in the slightest. The food was top notch, definitely the best I've had in Phoenix so far. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants an experience unlike any other in downtown Phoenix. Definitely try to call a few days or more ahead to secure a Beef Wellington as it was on par (If honestly not better) than the ones they serve in Hell's Kitchen, LV.

Came to Phoenix for a concert and after getting some early merch I decided to drop by for a quick lunch bite. The restaurant design was pretty cool and the animals were neat to look at. Food wise I was told to go for the chicken burger with truffle fries. The chicken was nice and juicy, however, since the bun wasn’t toasted it quickly broke apart with the slaw and became a bit messy. Flavour wise it was okay, nothing to write home about. The truffle fries were decent, but the sauce it came with wasn’t to my preference. Oddly enough, 3/4 way into my meal the server brought the bill and said to take my time. Found this a bit odd because I didn’t ask for the bill yet, was still eating, and was wondering if they had a dessert menu. Needless to say, I didn’t desire to ask after getting the bill. While I’d like to have come back to try the ribeye as I heard good things, it’s not on the top of my list

1st Time. Cool atmosphere. Amazing service. Delicious Lemon Drop Martinis & Mjoitos. Steak was excellent. Crusted Halibut was very good & flavorful with sauce.

This restaurant impresses from the moment you walk in. The ambience and atmosphere they create makes for a great dining experience. Good cocktails, wine, and beer selection. Food was very very good from starters to dessert. At first a was a little hesitant of the prices, BUT the food and quantity matches the prices. You can’t complete your experience here until visit the trophy room.

Been here a couple times now. The food and service are both great. We did a surf-and-turf and the steak came out at the perfect temperature for us (requested medium-rare and got medium-rare 👍), and the scallops were seared perfectly and tasted great. Do yourself a favor and just get a bottle of wine for the table, we enjoyed the Gamay (a medium-bodied French red); it pairs really well with steak, doesn't overpower the seafood, and isn't too spendy. Several gluten-free items on the menu for those sensitive to gluten or Celiac, and others that can be modified to fit. Unfortunately no gluten-free desserts, however they will make you an affogato if you ask. Overall this is a very nice and classy place and great for a date night. Also be sure to check out the adjacent Trophy Room bar after dinner (requires a separate reservation, but worth it)

We came in for the first time for brunch and left very happy. Our server Eric was really attentive and kind. At the next table, there were some little girls who were asking where the restroom was and instead of just giving vague hand directions on where to go, he actually went above and beyond to lead them on where to go. That is something you don't commonly see everyday and I thought That act of kindness should receive recognition. I ordered the smoked salmon croissant Benedict and my husband got the croque madame. Both tasted delicious and were on point with the flavors. We also got the cinnamon roll and holy cow it was huge. The fact that they made the icing look like icing made the presentation so enticing. We finished a quarter of it only to take home the rest. The cocktails (mimosa, Bellini and espresso martinis) were also on point! No regrets in deciding to brunch here today! Can't wait to come back to try more!

Wren & Wolf in Phoenix exceeded every expectation and made our anniversary truly unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, setting the tone for an amazing evening. The service was impeccable--attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. A special shoutout to Victor, one of the managers, who went above and beyond to make us feel special. To our surprise, the team even treated us to champagne to celebrate our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch! The food was absolutely incredible. We were fortunate to snag one of their famed Beef Wellingtons, which we were told sells out before 8 PM every night. It takes about 45 minutes to prepare, but it was worth every second of the wait. (I'm attaching a poorly taken photo of this masterpiece, but trust me--it tasted even better than it looks!) The cocktails were equally impressive. I had "The Continental," and it was one of the best drinks I've ever had. Their cocktail menu is unique and perfectly complements the outstanding food. This was, without a doubt, one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I'll be coming back here again and again, and I'll be recommending Wren & Wolf to anyone visiting Phoenix. Thank you, Wren & Wolf, for making our anniversary so memorable!

I came here for an early dinner on New Years Eve. First thing I experienced was how happy and cheerful the staff. They are very accommodating and friendly. For an appetizer I ordered the spicy meatballs, and for the main course, the pork tomahawk. Staff were quick to point out the pork chop is battered and fried. Unusual and although not mentioned on the menu, the staff kept referring to this as a schnitzel. The spicy meatball appetizer really was the best part of the meal. It's three meatballs, very tasty and filling. The pork tomahawk was good but I feel frying this fell a little short of what was possible. I finished off the meal with a chocolate mousse dessert that again was outstanding . Overall this was a great dining experience!

Best Beef Wellington we've had in a long time. You wouldn't know it from the outside but this restaurant is amazing. The decor and dim lighting make this a very romantic venue for special occasions. Or if you want a nice dinner with excellent food this is it. Because it's in downtown we did see several business parties as well. Ana our server was great with menu suggestions & explained in great detail. We were lucky to have her. Every single dish was perfectly cooked and tasted excellent. Now we did have a slight tiff as there are no Italian wines, where are The Chianti wines? We did order a lovely Napa CA wine which was tasty. That being said there is more than meets the eye in this restaurant, legend has it there are other places to explore within the restaurant, can you & will you find them? We sure did...

Best food I've had in a long time!!! Wren & Wolf is definitely the place to go if you're looking for a more upscale, high end place to celebrate a special occasion or just reunite with some friends. The Charred Bone Marrow (not the 3lb one) was a fun item, if your group isn't sure if they'll like it, one bone is enough. The Truffle Mac and Cheese was delicious but the Truffle Fries were more flavorful, and the lemon aioli sauce was to die for. The duck and chicken entrees were enjoyed, but the Lobster Tagliatelle stole the show, delicious spicy pasta with a half lobster stuffed with crab! We also ordered the Butter Cake and Lemon Desserts, and the lemon was the preferred choice. The servers were attentive and ready to answer any questions and kept waters full. Each person in my party ended up spending ~$80/90 so be aware of that. Delicious evening!

I liked this place from a review of their menu and loved it after visiting. It gave off a playful vibe and promise in using wilder meats. We flew into Phoenix and built our landing plans around lunch here. Walking into the open space accentuated with (I presume) a taxidermy of wolves and wrens was an oddly inviting experience. The art, colors, and textures really elevate the space and set the mood for a good meal. For appetizers we ordered toast with jam and the meatballs which were beef blended with either bison or boar. For mains it was the salmon croissant benedict and a less adventurous rib eye steak and eggs. Each was delicious down to the details. The potatoes were crispy outside and pillow inside. My steak was to temperature and normally I am not a fan of chimichurri but this worked for me. What really pushed me over the edge was dessert - we didn't have time to eat it and requested it to go. And the kitchen made sure it still looked beautiful in the carryout container! I really wanted to eat the dinner menu and may fly in just to eat dinner here in the future. But if I can only drop in for a drink I would do so too as those were delicious too.

We had dinner on a Monday and it was pretty busy. After a couple drinks, we ordered half a wedge salad and bone marrow with Noble bread for starters. The half wedge was still large but lacking much pork belly. The bone marrow was spectacular. Unctuous and wonderful. For dinner we ordered the Faroe Island salmon over couscous and the oxtail ragu pasta. Both were terrific. The couscous paired well with the salmon. If I had one bone to pick, the martini was $22 and was small. Seems excessive to me.

Wren & Wolf was my first meal in Phoenix and it set the bar extremely high. I think I was disappointed at most meals after this one. I made a reservation online just a 15-20 minutes before arriving and on a weeknight there was no wait. I was seated at the bar - despite selecting a regular dining room seat on the reservation - but it ended up being a blessing in disguise! The bartender was extremely friendly and attentive. He continued to check in with me throughout the meal and see how I liked it and if I needed anything else. Very quick on the water refills too. This kind of service goes a long way! I ordered the za'atar man'oushe - this was genuinely insane and set the bar high for the rest of the meal. Cheesy goodness with Mediterranean flavors and delicious Kalamata olives ... what more can you ask for? It's a large serving. I only ate half because I had more food in the way, but a server kindly bagged it up for me to take home without my asking. Next was the wild boar bolognese - my first time ever trying wild boar. I showed this photo to my friends and they were mystified by the shape of the pasta, thinking it was a photo of fried shrimp instead. The boar was much like ground beef in texture but with the sweetness of pork. This was really good guys. I only wish it had more cheese, but I can't complain because I just got a week's worth of cheese from the appetizer. This dish was also a large serving size so it made it well worth the price. It was garnished with fried basil, which I'd never had, but it elevated the look of the dish. By this time I'm already super full, but I'm intrigued by the offer of a dessert menu. I'm glad I said yes, because this lemon gelato was a dream!!! So decadent and smooth with that sour punch. I couldn't finish it but it was a great way to top off my delicious meal!! The vibe of this place is very much Jacob from Twilight made a restaurant. It's just like the name suggests ... "wolf" is a big theme here. *inserts pun about wolfing down this delicious food!* I liked it despite being a bit eery and having a strong choice of artwork and taxidermy. It is on the expensive side of things, but I was able to walk in with clothes I wore from the airport without an issue. Maybe that's why they sat me at the bar... Treat yourself this holiday season with Wren & Wolf! Just be careful of those menu upgrades that will add $100 to your meal written in a tiny font. Thanks Wren & Wolf!! Will be back my next time in Phoenix.

Stopped in for a round of drinks while waiting for our "flight" at Carry On. Such a cool vibe! Dark but relaxing with great music. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were super nice and made some delicious drinks! I had the "I love you, but I love me more" and it was a fruity but tangy vodka based drink. Beautiful presentation! My husband had the Ween House Lager which was light but tasty. We will definitely be back soon for dinner!

What does a perfect restaurant to me look like? I'll tell ya... Dark, vampy vibes with hints of country spread throughout - think gold luxury finishes with taxidermy everywhere, deep house and a great menu featuring top notch surf and turf options. That's what you get at Wren & Wolf They do three things really well: food, service, and setting the vibes. Imagine eating a delectable scallop, while bopping to Kaytranada. Also not to mention service is impeccable - our waitress, V, was an absolute doll. Here's everything we ordered: - Caviar Bumps - 10oz Filet of beef tenderloin - New England sea scallops Wren & Wolf is definitely on my top restaurants list and a must visit staple if you're ever in the downtown Phoenix area #jade8that #wheretoeat #AZFoodie #phoenixrestaurant #downtownphoenix

We saved this place for our final date night & were met with an experience that exceeded all expectations. I loved everything we ordered and how well paced it was by our amazing upbeat and fun server Holly! It was literally like she was hosting her own personal party! We started the meal with a round of Cava paired with their Blue Fin Tar Tar / then enjoyed crisp glasses of Sauvignon Blanc with the west coast Washington State Oysters on a half shell (they have the options of both coasts which I feel amazing for such a land locked state as Arizona) / The Salmon Dish we basked in as the creamed sauce combined with the couscous as the base was incredibly curated as the crunch of the outside of the salmon led to a perfectly cooked center. Cocktails were served with the most delicious and complex Meyer Lemon Cake as we witnessed the best Beef Wellington presentation at the table next to us reminding us that we must come back! The DJ spun records and the restaurant filled with smoke' like a Prince Video' - Holly - thank you you hosted the best evening for us and we appreciate it greatly. PS. We are looking forward to the opening on Carryon and sorry we missed it this time

Wren & Wolf is just what my coworker and I were hunting for, while she was in town. I added myself onto her dinner reservation since I was in the office late hanging out l with her and she said to join in. She called ahead of time and they were able to accommodate my add. Another fabulous classy restaurant is just what downtown Phoenix needs to keep the vibrancy alive. The dark speakeasy/basement/taxidermy vibes make it unique... a little sultry too! Our server took great care of us with plenty of check-ins (not too many, just the right amount). Coworker and I both started with a cocktail and agreed the round one winner was Money On My Mind (hers was Punch Drunk Love), which in of itself was a unique take on a gin cocktail. Round 2 went to my Emperor's Concubine drink as there was something in her red wine that didn't sit right with her. If you get a salad, add in protein and ask for how the chef prefers to serve it.. took that as a tip from said coworker who used to work in hospitality. Salmon was pan-seared with a little bit of pepper which played well with the slightly-salty cheese and vinaigrette in the salad. Probably one of the best salads I've ever eaten.

Worth the hype! Made it in to catch the end of happy hour for our starters. The happy hour menu isn't super long but definitely worth it for value and tastiness. We did the meatballs and bread, custom mocktail and It's Not Bragging If It's True (fun cocktail names here!). For mocktails, you just tell the server what kind of flavors you like and they'll surprise you. Our server took great care of us and made sure to ask about after dinner plans to ensure the pace of the meal was right. The meatballs were served on polenta and had just the right amount of kick for me and the bread had great seasoning and creaminess from the cheese that was on point. Next up we shared the strawberry & whipped honey ricotta salad and oxtail parpadelle. The salad was a little different with the cantaloupe in addition to the strawberries but it paired really well with the vinaigrette and ricotta. The oxtail pasta is a must-order! Rich but balanced and the oxtail was so tender. We had some bread left as well and highly recommend sopping up some of the pasta sauce with it. All the desserts sounded amazing but we went with the butter cake because our server said it was the most popular. I will admit that it didn't look the most exciting but it was delicious. The texture had a slight crisp outside and the cakey inside basically melted in your mouth. 5 star experience!

My son and i were visiting the area to watch the dodgers game and wanted to go to a nice dinner. This restaurant was near our hotel and walking distance, it was beautiful and elegant inside. We ordered a few steaks and they were nice enough to give me a free dessert for my birthday. The waitress was very friendly and gave us great service. We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere around us, next time i have to try the speakeasy they have in there which looks really cool.

Obsessed with the ambiance of this restaurant, food was amazing, drinks were great, service was okay, and would highly, highly recommend making a reservation for any size party. We walked in on a Thursday night with a group of 5 and about 3 hrs before closing but the hosts were very hesitant to seat us. I know when tables are visibly open that doesn't mean they are available, however, there were lots and lots of tables open for over 5. We offered to wait at the bar until a table opened and they said that was fine but expect to eat up there as well. 10 minutes later they were able to seat us at an open table. The food was great! We did family style and ordered numerous salads and proteins. Would absolutely come back if I'm in the area, but maybe with a reservation and time to get into the speakeasy!

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Wren & Wolf back in June. We made a reservation for Sunday dinner weeks in advance. We parked at the Renaissance Square Garage on 1st Ave, which provides a three-hour parking validation and is just a short walk to the restaurant. When we arrived, we were greeted and seated right away. I loved the vibe. The space is kinda moody and romantic and the decor is inspired by its name. Our server came to greet us after being seated and wished us a happy anniversary. He came back shortly with two glasses of complimentary champagne. Although he was generally good, there were times when we felt we had to initiate placing our order. He didn't offer appetizers, so we had to request them. He also didn't ask if we were ready to order entrees; we had to tell him. This made our visit longer than we anticipated. Even though I wanted dessert, we skipped it since we'd already been there for almost two hours and didn't want to stay any longer. Fortunately, the food was fantastic. We started with drinks. I ordered the espresso martini and my husband ordered a mocktail. Then we ordered the following: Oysters on the half shell $23 Noble country loaf, whipped truffle butter $7 Knife & fork wedge $18 Wild boar bolognese $28 Faroe island salmon $38 The espresso martini was delicious and so was my husband's mocktail. The oysters were fresh. The bread with whipped truffle butter was very good. We shared the knife and fork wedge, which was surprisingly large and great for sharing. The wedge came with niman ranch pork belly, balsamic cherry tomatoes, parsley, blue cheese vinaigrette. I don't usually go for wedge salads, but I really enjoyed theirs! My husband originally wanted to order a steak, but after reading the description of the wild boar bolognese, he changed his mind. It came with creste di gallo, durham ranch wild boar, san marzano tomato, parmigiano reggiano, fried basil. He raved about this bolognese for days! I had hoped to try the scallops or lobster tagliatelle, but they were out of all seafood entrees except for salmon. I prepare salmon at home often so I really didn't want to order it, but was left with no choice as a pescatirian. I reluctantly settled for the salmon, but it turned out to be quite delicious. It was served with truffle beurre blanc, couscous, haricots verts, dehydrated cherry tomato, and lemon. Overall, we had a good experience and would recommend Wren & Wolf for the ambiance, food, and cocktails. Don't forget to reserve a spot at their speakeasy, The Trophy Room, for a unique experience after dinner!

Love the dark atmosphere, the service is fantastic. We had a great time here, the food was all so great. The truffle Mac and cheese is so good. The spicy meatballs tasted so great with the cheese and polenta. Beef carpaccio is so fresh and has great taste with the added sauce. All the cocktails tasted great.

I was told that this upscale Bistro Style restaurant was very good. Total Understatement! It's Excellent. Top of the line service, professional but not pushy. Comfortable dining area decorated in a chic modern Victorian Hunting Lodge motif. The Wolf Taxidermy is super cool! Every bite of food was scrumptious. Flavors that danced across your palette. Textures that are velvety rich such as the Short Rib Tagliatelle. Warm and comforting Potato Dumplings or the Savory Diver Scallops with fresh crispy Baby Greens! Great to see that level of the culinary appreciation is still thriving!

If I could give Wren & Wolf more than 5 stars, I would. We came here on a Monday afternoon for happy hour right before dinner service started. We sat at the bar, only planning to get a drink each. But we saw the happy hour menu and all the delicious food, we decided to stay and try a few appetizers. The W&W meatballs and shrimp cocktail were delicious! Our bartender, Miles, mentioned that all the favorites from the full appetizer menu were part of the happy hour menu and he was right! We also shared a butter cake. Literally the BEST butter cake I've ever had! It's normally not available during happy hour but Miles was able to get the chef to make it for us. Drinks were delicious. My favorite was the A Gentleman Never Tells. The strawberry foam was a perfect complement to the gingery taste of the drink. I'd recommend coming for happy hour because the menu was very well priced and you can try a bunch of drinks at a discounted price. Make sure to sit at the bar! If you're lucky, Miles will be working that day. He was very knowledgeable and had great suggestions!

Showed up for dinner at 630p. The service was a little slower than we would've liked (waitress could've checked on us more often throughout). The appetizers were the bone marrow with bread and tartar, the latter was really well balanced and satisfying. For entree, I got the 4oz Australian wagyu and my friend got the $70 steak. Neither one of us is really a steakhouse guy but both dishes were great. For dessert, got the blond cake which was delicious. Would return to try more stuff on the menu.

The place is really nice and fancy inside, very fun and interesting and the service was overall really good. I wish we did get to sit more towards the middle of the restaurant than in the back against the wall. There's a lot to see! Now let's talk food. We first got the Noble loaf, which was honestly a disappointment being the first bite of the night. It was cold and the edges were completely burnt and tough like a shoe. Note to self don't get this again. Shortly after the meatballs came out and these were actually so good 10/10 this was probably my favorite. The spiciness adds a nice kick and was very flavorful. For entrees we got the cast iron chicken which was really yummy and fills you up, along with the potato dumplings which were like cheese filled potato balls. These were really good too! Super creamy and tasty and soft with a crispy outside. For the bolognese, it came out cold at first which they remade with no problem at all, so I appreciated that, but honestly wasn't my favorite. It's more on the sweet tomato-y side, which personally I'm not a huge fan of. Honestly if I could rate this a 3.5 I would, just cuz some of the food wasn't exactly to my liking and had some cold dishes brought out, but some of the food did taste really good and our server was really nice too. Oh! and lastly, we came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and they came out with a free vanilla ice cream! Forgot to take a picture of it though haha

100% would recommend this place. Came here on a Monday for happy hour and sat at the bar. Our Bartender, Miles, was super nice and gave us great suggestions. The happy hour menu was reasonable. I would get the meatballs. There is this butter cake that they serve, but it says that it is available during certain hours of the day. Homie Miles was able to work his magic and was able to get the staff to make us one. This dessert was one of the best things I had during my time in Arizona. The TVs had the football game on and there was soft music playing the background.

We had a group of about 20 people - the food, service, and vibe were on point! I tried "A moment in time" and the old fashioned (with another name). Both were delicious. We had shared plates to start and each was so good. For the main course I ordered the scallops and my husband ordered the steak. I would have preferred his, but it was nice to try both. We had broccolini and the mac and cheese on the side to share - the mac and cheese was so rich and delicious! The butter cake to finish was also so tasty. We were very full by the end and happy to make steak and eggs the next morning with our leftovers.

This restaurant is an absolute must to come to when you're in Phoenix. I set myself at the bar and the bartenders were very attentive and knowledgeable about the drinks and the menu. I had the oysters which were fresh and absolutely delicious. I also had the tuna tartar, which was topped with crème fraîche and caviar, which was absolutely delightful. They had an extensive drink menu however I opted for a glass of the rosé champagne to accompany my meal, however maybe next time when I go back, I'll try some of their crafted cocktails.

I came here for a friends birthday and had a great experience! The service and food was wonderful! The only thing I didn't like was how dark it was inside. We all had to turn our flashlights on our phones to read the menu.

i met my friend here for a dinner catch up and it was an amazing time! we had about a 5 minute wait with a reservation and were sat at a comfy table. we ordered the bread for an appetizer and it was delicious! it was warm and a little toasted and very tasty with the truffle butter. 9/10. for my cocktail i got the "a gentlemen never tells" and it was alright. there was a lot of foam on top and too much for my liking. probably wouldn't get again. 7/10. for my meal i got the strawberry salad and added grilled chicken. it was very tasty and the ricotta with the pistachios was so yummy. only con is it was not super filling. 9/10. it was definitely on the more expensive side (my total was about $60 for 1 appetizer, 1 cocktail, and 1 salad) but would definitely go back if in the area!

Brunch again!!!! Yes- new month new place to try and Wren and wolf was the spot. The ambiance was fantastic! The had a DJ but music was not loud and obnoxious so we could converse and our server was fantastic. Matter of fact everyone was awesome. The host, the other servers all were great. But let's talk about food. We all tried something new and different and was not disappointed. French omelets with king crab, french omelet with truffles and a Ben a traditional breakfast was great menu items. Drinks were on point and let's not forget the caviar bomber. Definitely would go back and try other items on the menu just figure out parking as that downtown construction was a royal pain.

My bff and I shared a ribeye....all their steaks looked amazing and ours was aged and tender with a deep flavor. Our wait staff was amazing. Our server gave us such good recommendations! I am an addict!

Wren & Wolf is amazing! The ambiance is fantastic and the moment you walk in the door the aesthetic and decor transports you. I was pleasantly surprised this opened in Phoenix, because it definitely feels like a Los Angeles hot spot. We went on a double date and everyone enjoyed their cocktails and food. The highlight for my husband and I were the pre-cut king crab legs with melted butter and the lobster tagliatelle. All food came out hot and ready to eat - It was on the more expensive side, but so worth it for a night out with friends. We all left with full bellies and I would definitely come back again.

First time at Wren & Wolf in Downtown Phoenix. Friend invited me for brunch or lunch on a Saturday. Pretty open, upscale and beautiful decor. Has an Old World Vibe, but nonetheless, seems like a popular place for special occasions. Spent some time reviewing the menu. Could have easily gone with shared appetizers. We both had the French Omelette with cheese and chips Friend had a potato side. Omelettes were good, service was excellent. Hard to rate a restaurant on one dish. Service was 5 star, will go with 4 Stars for everything else. Parking validation is available, when you find the garage.

Such a great spot! Beautiful vibe! Kind of gave Tulum feels. We went on a Wednesday night so it was a little slower. We also had a later reservation so may have been a little more rushed. The bramble drink was delicious! Appetizer of the beef carpaccio had such great flavor! The Caesar salad also was very good! The German potato dumplings were good but very cheesy. Mac and cheese also very good! Did see the table next to us with the beef Wellington which on the menu says it takes 45 mins or a call ahead but would definitely come back for that! It looked amazing! Great higher end dining spot in downtown Phoenix!

It was my first time visiting this location. Wren & Wolf is well-known in the Phoenix community, and I'm delighted I got the chance to visit. We had a party of five, and it is highly suggested that you make a reservation in advance as this establishment was packed on a Sunday evening. The restaurant features a relaxing, friendly, and personal atmosphere. There is pleasant music in the background, and the outstanding personnel makes for an enjoyable encounter. They offer a wide range of menu items, including bread service, salads, appetizers, and a variety of entrees. Don't forget their signature cocktails! My fiance got the Faroe Island salmon, while I ordered the wild boar bolognese. Everything was cooked to perfection. The pasta was al dente and delicious, with a strong tomato and basil flavor. The salmon was cooked till medium rare and flaky. We also added truffle fries, which I thought was the best thing on the table. It was crunchy, flaky in the middle, and a great seasoning of truffle pairing well with the cheese. This typical place is on the pricier side compared to other dine-ins, but for the experience it was great. The service was top-tier and they also validated parking if necessary. However, I wish the portions were bigger because we were all still hungry afterward.

This was in the Top 10 list of best restaurants in Phoenix and I now know why ... It was worth every penny. We had the Carpaccio, caviar bumps with bubbly, the lobster twice baked potato is phenomenal. Mashed potatoes are delicious as well. Had the Japanese A5 Wagyu 4oz was perfect size and cooked to order table side. I had the ribeye and it was delicious. The lobster was probably some of the sweetest I've ever had. For dessert we had the butter cake which did not disappoint. I had the Miso cocktail, a great drink starter, Cab with my steak and an espresso martini with dessert. There was also a live DJ, decor was bougie bass pro and there's tons of different seating arrangements. Ask for Jackson, he was a great server and the rest of the staff was prompt and professional. Service was flawless. Be sure to make reservations. They fill up fast. We will definitely be back!!!

This is such a beautiful and unique restaurant. We came in for an early dinner before our comedy show at the financial theater. The booth seating we requested was so cozy & spacious for hubby and I. We started off with bottle of our favorite Veuve Clicquot yellow label. The menu was very good with a lot of varieties. For food we decided on seafood platter, filet steak, organic chicken and side of truffle fries. Everything was so fresh and tasty especially the cast iron half chicken. For desserts we had sorbets and espresso shots. The portions were enormous, how does anyone finish any dish here?! Our server was so friendly and attentive considering it was so packed on a Saturday evening. We had a great dinner experience here and we would love to come back whenever we are in town !

I absolutely adore the aesthetics and the atmosphere of Wren and Wolfe. I went with a friend for dinner and we found the food was absolutely delicious but later However I brought an entire group of friends to this restaurant for an outing and the entire party was very disappointed at the Price point and the overall quality of the food. people left very disappointed and frustrated at how much they spent and felt like the food was not filling and was not very tasty. I was disappointed in the inconsistent flavor but I will definitely try again in the future to see if it's evened out.

I spent my birthday AND half birthday here this year! Food is fantastic! I've also had a brunch here. Everything that I've eaten has been great. Plus unusual, the german potato dumplings aren't 100% authentic (I can make them from scratch) but they don't claim to be and they're still delicious that sage gravy is amazing! The Bonet is alot of fun if you like bone marrow, it's massive! I like that some things on the menu change because I like being able to have old favorites and try new things. I had the 16 oz Ribeye for my half birthday and it was perfection, exactly what I was craving. Both times I had the Noble bread and truffle butter because noble bread is one of my most favorite things in the world. The service was very good both times. It does get busy so I recommend getting a reservation if this is really where you want to go.

One of Phoenix best restaurants to offer in downtown. The ambience is on point with all their decorations. It's take you out of that hot desert vibe and into a cocktail lounge environment Restaurant has a variety of great food to order: Appetizers: Noble loafs with truffle butter- 5/5- simple but delicious with the butter. But could pass if you want to try something different. Bone Marrow: 5/5- fat melting in your mouth Beef Capacio with arugula- A must 5/5- save you money on the bread and get this =) meat was soft and just delicious with the cheese and arugula Oysters: Avoid if you like more of a mild sweet flavor... this time around the oysters flavor was very pungent and sharp. I forgot from where. sorry! Ribeye- 5/5it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Wild boar Bolognese- 5/5 meat and sauce were great, wish the portion size was more. Drinks- don't remember all the drinks we got, but the cucumber something was on point. Ohh ambiance- there's one section of the restaurant that's dark af (right side) , we had to request to be moved.

Went Sat night about 9, got lucky we were seated right away and at the bar. What a great, I live watching great bartenders in action. These guys are good! Beautiful Restaraunt, hip and trendy but not vacant. Food was great! Margaritas and espresso martini amazing. They didn't steak shame me at all as I like well, well done and they cooked it perfectly. They even make their own spicy rim salt. They make drinks non stop and so professional. Great service. Lots of pretty people to be seen there. We are so glad we stopped in. Well def be back.

Went here for a team event and loved the overall experience. Not cheap but worth it when company pays for it :) Overall I would recommend this place if expense is not a thing for you. We did speakeasy and loved the cocktails there. They cap you out with max 1.5 hours there so be plan well. My team had a 4 course meal arranged and overall nice service and food with an exception that I will jot down below. Here are my takes: Food: From the 4 course meal, everything was one of the best. Salmon was perfectly cooked with skin later super crispy. However, my salmon did had a little extra salt which was coming from concuss I believe. Butter cake specialty from there is a must try. Drinks: Speakeasy was good. Cocktails menu is different for inside. I tried 2 of them and both were delicious. Our 1.5 hour window was over otherwise would have tried more options. Interiors are nice for Trophy room and they do lock your phone in self service lockers there, so no inside pictures. They took us to our reserved dining table and the menu was overall decent crafted for our 4 course team dinner. Service: Both the speakeasy and dining table servers were nice and welcoming. Everything was quick on the table and they kept checking at regular intervals. Ambience: Great interior, classy and feels premium all over. They have a huge seating area. Speakeasy was small area but that is what speakeasy should be. Overall it is a great place to dine in or stop for drinks. I would go here everyday due to the prices but won't mind being here on special occasions.

We didn't have a reservation but walked in for dinner, and the server was kind enough to accommodate us. The meal was absolutely delicious. The Wagyu steak was incredibly tender and melted in your mouth--definitely money well spent. The ambiance is lovely, and the decor is beautiful. A truly enjoyable dining experience!

I was skeptical to dine here as there were a lot of negative reviews, but my wife was adamant about trying this place, and I'm glad we came here. I was in awe by how great the food is here. We had the bread and pimento which was the best baked bread and cheese spread I've had. I ordered the 4oz Australian Wagyu with prawns. It was delicious and the prawns in the butter sauce was the best part. I ended up dousing my meat in the butter. My wife got the salmon and truffle fries. Not a fan of swimmers, but it was something I would order if I was. The food was reasonably priced and as expected. This is on the upscale side so expect to spend a few hundred there. My wife and I had a total of 4 dishes and 4 drinks for under $300 with tip. Our server was incredibly friendly and knew the menu very well. She had a great personality and always had a smile on. Really enjoyed the customer service The only knock was now dark it was inside. Saw many patrons using the phone flashlights to view the menu. But on the upside, music wasn't too loud as to where we couldn't have a conversation and we weren't squeeze tightly together like sardines. Highly recommend this place and would absolutely come back!

I honestly don't know where to start! This is the most on brand bar/restaurant I've ever visited. You can't help but take photos while you're there. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't look at any of the pictures before arriving. I went for brunch with a friend and we had a good time. They had a DJ playing and the atmosphere was super chic. It wasn't loud or anything which you may think when it's busy. It gives upscale vibes. At the same time it was casual environment. I had the croissants with lobster and poached eggs. The food was good. I had the espresso martini. I love the taste of coffee so this drink was right up my alley. It's definitely a great date night spot. If I was in a relationship, I could see us having a nice romantic dinner while nestled in one of the corner booths. I am definitely coming back to try the dinner menu. The service was awesome as well. Overall good vibes and pleasant experience. Note they close at 2 pm and open back up at 4 pm.

Came here for a dinner date and had an amazing experience! The food quality was okay to decent. Flavors were wonderful. And our server was the best ever! We ordered the Bonet, truffle fries, duck breast a l'orange and A5 salisbury steak. The Bonet was recommended for 4 people, but two of us were able to finish it all. The huge bone marrow is big in size, but it didn't have a lot of meat. It probably had the same amount of meat as the smaller bone marrow. If I were to come back, I would order the smaller bone marrow and just add an extra bone marrow in there. The flavors were good! They didn't add too much and they let the bone marrow's flavor do its thing. The bread it came with was also a bit overcooked and tasted burned. I'd give it a 4/5 - minus points are mainly from the overcooked bread. When we were done with it, we asked our lovely server to wrap it up for our dogs. To our surprise, he even rinsed the bones so our dog wouldn't have to eat all the oil from it! The truffle fries were yummy!!! 5/5 recommend! The duck breast a l'orange was amazing. I think it was cooked to medium/medium-rare, and it was tender. The citrus flavor was delicious - not too sour, not too sweet. The forbidden rice that it came with was also really tasty! 5/5 recommend! The A5 salisbury steak was unexpectedly bad. It was too salty. We even removed the sauce and it was still too much, and we loooove savory foods! We told our server and they were quick to respond and asked if we wanted anything else free of charge. He also brought us a free dessert for it. Overall, we had a lovely experience and we recommend giving this place a try!

Really good brunch! Got a dutch cake and shakshuka to split and both were delicious. Espresso martini was great and they've got good espresso beverages as well.
