    Walked in late for our reservation, the staff kindly greeted and sat us, from the entry to our dessert the experience was one of the best I’ve had in the past 15 years of downtown dinning. The attention from the staff as group in the entire restaurant was truly a testament to the culture that has been created at the Arrogant Butcher. We look forward to our next experience. Happy Holiday’s! ABOMB the artist

    What a fabulous restaurant! Dahlia Tapas is an absolute gem in Phoenix, and our recent dining experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we stepped in, we were charmed by the warm ambiance and inviting atmosphere. The real magic, however, began when we entrusted our server, Reyna, to take us on a culinary journey through the menu—and WOW, did she ever deliver! Her knowledge of the dishes was impeccable, and her passion for the menu shone through in every recommendation. It’s clear that Dahlia Tapas isn’t just about serving food; it’s about creating an experience. The chef and culinary team behind the dishes deserve a standing ovation. Each tapas plate was a masterpiece, showcasing incredible flavor combinations and flawless execution. The creativity and attention to detail made every bite a delight, leaving us excited for the next dish. This is the kind of restaurant where you can tell that both the staff and chefs truly care about the food they present and the experience they offer. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Phoenix, Dahlia Tapas is an absolute must-visit. We can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Great experience! And it is an experience. It's how food should be eaten imo...savoring each unique bite. They estimate 2.5-3 hours and time flew by. Beautiful setting in or out. The service was fantastic, staff was knowledgable about the dishes, the history of the farmhouse and the farm. We were offered a tour of the kitchen and I could've watched the chefs all night - it's like watching an artist. I've had Quiescence on my list to visit for several years and I am so glad we were finally able to make it happen. I for sure want to visit Morning Glory next for breakfast.
