"This was a great restaurant in downtown Phoenix. I went here before a Heart concert at the nearby FootPrint Center. We were somewhat pressed for time, so we just got some appetizers to share. We got fried calamari rings, bacon wrapped dates, and steak sliders. Everything tasted great and we had plenty to eat for a pre-gig snacking. The decor is top notch and the place is quite decadent & upscale. When I have more time, I would love to return and explore the menu a bit more. I *love* that they have an actual blue hound sculpture - so fitting & iconic!"

"I have to say our experience started poorly at the Eden Outdoor Bar through a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings. Details would go on too long, but every employee that we met only want solve problems and make us happy as customers and repeat customers. This would include the Food & Beverage Director who bent over backwards to ensure that we knew how important we were as customers. I can't tell you how good that makes me feel... to be appreciated and more than just a dinner check. If I could for all involved, I'd give ten stars out of ten here for service (but only permitted five). Food also first rate... served hot and timely and properly seasoned. Zero Issues and really enjoyed every bite. Atmosphere only lacked sitting outside which just wasn't available, but the cozy booth in the bar was plenty comfortable and surely a great place for our dinner. Overall, a First-Class experience worthy of repeating."

"Blue Hound Kitchen is amazing and one of my favorite restaurants in Phoenix. The restaurant is conveniently located in the Kimpton Palomar Phoenix and never disappoints. Chef Gilbert and his team create some amazing and delicious food."

"The bar team deserves a medal for surviving the chaos—drinks were on point, service was sharp, and my bartender was basically doing the work of three people with a smile. The kitchen? Different story. Forty-five minutes later I was walking my sad little burger and wedge salad upstairs like contraband. The burger was dry, the bun was sad, and the wedge salad was… a crime against lettuce. I thought breakfast might be redemption. It was quicker, sure, but avocado toast and the breakfast sandwich managed to be equally tragic—fast food without the fun. Pro tip: come for cocktails, stay for the vibe, and let your stomach find happiness elsewhere."

"Best chicken I've ever hard, literally falling off the bone like it roasted for days (but not dry). Dates were wonderful too, crisp yet juicy. Hubs said ribs were delicious. Only negative is parking is a pain, but they do validate if you park in garage off Jefferson just under the hotel (even if there's an event)."
