    The vibe in the Speakeasy was amazing. Very laid back and the jazz pianist was spot on. The Green With Envy drink was superb! Definitely a great spot to check out when in Scottsdale

    Service and food was great. The Band didn’t arrive until we were about to leave. The whole experience was definitely NOT worth the Almost $400 bill at the end. I know it’s a $100/per person expectation which I think was a little high for the subpar experience. But overall it was still nice. Just not worth the price.
    Tell Your FriendsResponded 7 days ago
    Dear Terrie, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and service but are sorry to hear the experience didn’t fully match the cost for you. We appreciate your input and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve. Also, thank you for sharing your private note—we strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment, and your perspective is valuable. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a better experience. Warm regards, The TYF Team

    Overall it was a good experience. Great decor and setting. Feels unique for Scottsdale. Felt like a big city speakeasy. Cocktails were made very well. Only negative for me was the specialty cocktail menu was trying just a little too hard. Every drink had to have something totally unique as opposed to just having some classics with a little twist. Also disappointed that they didn't know how to or have the ingredients to make a Kir Royale. It's not an obscure drink.
    Tell Your FriendsResponded on February 15, 2025
    Dear Nathan, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the decor, ambiance, and well-crafted cocktails—it means a lot to hear it gave you that big-city speakeasy feel. We appreciate your feedback on the cocktail menu and will share it with our team as we continue to refine our offerings. We also hear you on the Kir Royale and will take that into consideration. We hope to welcome you back soon for another great experience! Warm regards, The TYF Team

    Wonderful experience except for the hostess acting like I just killed her dog for showing up with 6 people instead of 3 for my 10:45pm reservation. Geez I’m sorry! I’m so sorry for bringing a fun group of girls to your lounge and buying drinks.
    Tell Your FriendsResponded on February 12, 2025
    Dear Jason, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re thrilled you had a wonderful time with your group, but we’re sorry to hear about the interaction at check-in. That’s not the welcoming atmosphere we aim for, and we appreciate your feedback. We’ll address this with our team to ensure all guests feel valued and appreciated. We hope to welcome you and your friends back soon for another great time! Warm regards, The TYF Team

    Great times! Loved that the band played some modern music with a jazzy touch. I wished they had more vegetarian options on the menu. Overall, we will be going back!
