Wren & Wolf

"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, Eater Staff

"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 is a certified sexy restaurant. Its dark, moody vibe sets the scene for cocktails, caviar bumps, and A+ people-watching. Start your meal with the $7 bread service (delivered to the table in gilded chalices alongside whipped truffle butter) and follow it with the oversized bone marrow starter that could intimidate even a Hungry Hungry Hippo’s appetite. The Alaskan king crab legs and the Japanese A5 wagyu, prepared tableside, hibachi-style, are perfect for when you want a luxe surf and turf moment. " - lauren topor
