Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails

I've had a lot of meals on Phoenix over the years, this is, hands down, is the best that I've had. The coffee encrusted steak and the blackened salmon are simply exquisite. The Art of Choke drink is possibly the perfect accompaniment to both dinners. Complex, intriguing, and unique. Simply fantastic. I recommend the Kiwi to Life is Happiness as a finisher drink. It's sweetness is just strong enough to be considered a drink without being overpowering. The meat perfect dessert drink.

Family and I wanted this location on Saturday, June 1 for early lunch. The parking can be a little hectic so you can either use the parking garage and or street parking. Upon entering, the restaurant is attached inside of the hotel called the Kimpton. The decor and scenery is very beautiful inside the hotel and the restaurant. We noticed it was not very busy at all only a few people at the bar and our table and the bartender was also our waitress and she was very kind and attentive. Additional staff come in for rush.We were able to ask her questions and she provided us answer accordingly and we placed start order and our staffing was very friendly and attentive, and our food was delicious . We ordered two of their hamburgers with fries and chicken sandwich with fries and everything was absolutely delicious . We were told that they were breaking back their brunch menu for Saturday and Sunday as well, which we would love to try one day. Tip the sandwiches are more affordable, but the dinners are a little pricey, but you do get more bang for your buck for the sandwiches cause it's very filling. We also were able to look around the downstairs of the hotel because it's right outside of the restaurant and it's very beautiful. Are a lot of other restaurants in the area and shops that you could be able to walk around as well to view.

Jalisco Poppin and Division Bell cocktails were excellent. The short rib special was sublime. The French dip sandwich was nothing special and the side salad that came with the sandwich was a strange mix of uncomplimentary ingredients and flavors. I love all kinds of salads but this was the first time I have ever abandoned a salad after just 2 bites. The bread pudding with delectable slivers of crispy orange peel was nice, until I bit into a sliver of garlic that somehow mad its way onto the dessert. I saw it first and thought it was a slivered almond until I bit into it. Garlic it pretty unmistakable. Made the reservation under Open Table for a birthday occasion. We came early and gave the name on reservation. There was no mention of a birthday and then we got a no-show notice from Open Table when we got home. I tried calling several times to get the no show corrected, but no one ever answered the phone.

Food: we ordered the mole quesadilla and it tasted like a frozen pizza. It wasn't very tasty and definitely not worth $21. I really wish it had been more thin of crust and tasted fresh Drinks: My friend ordered The Joker and it was amazing!! I ordered the Infante Ambiance and it honestly just tasted like a Minute Maid lemonade Service: Julius is the only reason I gave more than one star. He was very friendly and was doing great managing the crowd he had. Ambiance: laid back vibes but for the value I probably wouldn't come back

Casual dining in downtown PHX. Nice place, good food. They have a hotel attached too. They have valet parking as well or park in the garage

I am religious about Houston's having the best dip in the country. Until today. I ordered the dip from blue hound and it blows Houston's dip out of the water. The bread is toasted to perfection, the onions grilled and tossed in the horseradish cream. They use pepper jack cheese which I kind of almost changed and asked for Swiss but good thing I didn't. The prime rib? Perfectly more rare than medium. I mean I was shook, but it didn't end there. I took a bite out of one of the beer battered fries and the experience was knee slapping. The ambiance here is awesome. You feel like you're in a classy throw back restaurant. And the service was spot on. Well done. I don't give out 5's often. This was a 5 star meal to a tee.

We had the BHKC Burger, Bucatini Pasta, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Waguy Sliders, Margarita, Martinis, and more... Genie was the server and was blessing after a horrible pre-plan dinner experience around the corner... The backup plan became the primary plan and didn't disappoint!!! That's what I get for branching out my comfort zone!!! :-)

Blue Hound used to be one of the hippest, upscale downtown spots but for a few years it languished with lack of culinary imagination. Under the current creative kitchen guidance, it's BACK!We popped in for an early Sunday dinner after a Phoenix Mercury game. We had the run of the house for seating and the wait staff were all helpful and attentive. We enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine (our server let us sample a few to help us choose - always a plus in my book!) with their yummy baby wedge salad. We followed that up with the show-stopping "Net of the Sea. WOW! A fantastic mix of seafood, crispy kale and seaweed salad - MORE than enough to share and then some! We will be back!

Love the craft cocktails! The ambiance is dark and mooody. This place would make a fun date night. The staff seem to really enjoy working here.

Disappointing. Went there before concert at AZ Financial Theater which is close by. Place was virtually empty at 6:00. Sat at bar and service was pretty lax. Hubby ordered lobster roll which was small and tasteless. I had tomato bisque and grilled cheese sandwich. Okay but how can you ruin that. But check was ridiculous for what we got.
