Geordie's At Wrigley Mansion - Phoenix

The view, ambiance, service, and cocktails were amazing! Unfortunately the food was bland and not worth the cost. We ordered the prawns, they were huge, which was great and all, however we had to peel the huge prawns ourselves. To top it off, they were bland; totally not worth the work. lol We also ordered the risotto, it was good, but have had much better for much less at less inexpensive restaurants.

This review needs a lot of clarification because we love the jazz night Thursday 7-8:30pm. However it is the worst managed affair and hasn’t changed in over a year or more. Our server was nice but whatever process they have to go through to get a drink order filled takes 20-30 minutes. Food takes even longer. When other staff comes with the drinks or food they take it to the wrong table then circle around or put it in front of the wrong guest! This is NOT a rare occurrence. They finally lit all the new cheap table candles with their thread width wicks and they all promptly burned out. One server got new candles for his three tables but the rest of the room got none. We ordered two drinks at once because we know getting second service is rare. For food I ordered their Boudin Blanc listed as Foie Gras, duck breast, parsnip purée and jus. Listed as an appetizer I expected a tiny portion of each item. What it really is, is a white (mostly parsnip) 3” quennelle shaped mousse of the ingredients. I suppose as it’s called a boudin I should have realized that, but I was sitting in the dark. The jazz starts at 7 and lasts 90 minutes. They didn’t start seating last night until 6:55pm (sometimes earlier it’s not consistent). This results in getting your drink 20 minutes or more after the jazz starts and the crazy service dance lasting all the way through the performance. There has to be a better way to handle these nights. You’d at least expect them to have table numbers and seat positions so when the drinks and food come they end up with the right person at the right table. And get quality fake candles, the servers have enough to do. On a positive note the room is lovely and intimate and when Nicole Pesce is playing piano, the jazz is wonderful though the sax was a little louder than usual last night. Also management called when my friend left her credit card so we could return to pick it up. He met us at valet, a professional touch. We keep hoping for improvement.

We’re were celebrating a team members 80th birthday and the location, view, environment, food and service were are amazing. It was first time visiting this historic building and will definitely be back. Great place to celebrate any special occasion.

The wait staff was very friendly however I was a little bit disappointed that in many cases their clothes were wrinkled and soils with signs of food and drink on their uniforms thus making many of the staff look a bit on unkempt. Again very nice staff but was a bit surprised that some of them were using their pants to wipe their hands on. Also, getting access to a server felt slow at times though they again were very courteous when found. Especially considering what we’re going through now it would’ve been nice to see them extra sensitive to cleanliness.

Great for celebrating something special, or even just a date night. Staff were all exceptional and friendly!
