    The staff service and hospitality was lacking . it was fairly empty and we were placed in a corner table where we couldn’t see the band and we’re told we could not switch to one of three empty tables. The service was slow and the drinks were mediocre but beautiful looking I personally found the staff to be not very well trained in hospitality it. It seemed to give off an immature vibe of people trying too hard to be exclusive.  the entertainment was good.  I might request ownership look into the brand vibe that they’re  projecting and make sure it’s in line with the expectations of North Scottsdale

    My husband and I had a great time at Tell Your Friends. We sat at the bar and had a fabulous steak with a few sides. We really enjoyed the band. The music was a great variety of genres. Prices are on the high-end, but that’s to be expected. We can’t wait to go back. Plan ahead. Reservations are booked far in advance.

    Loved the live music and ambience. I wish they had more seating facing the music area but I know they don’t always have live music. Overall I’d highly recommend going here, really fun experience.

    Service was lacking, not enough servers which was odd given how many were working. Long wait just to order cocktails, very long wait with no one approaching table, had to grab server as he delivered next table's cocktails to hand him credit card. Great ambiance and drinks but worse meat and cheese plate I've had. The oysters were good as were the chips. Go for the drinks and ambiance.

    Very long wait time for table. Didn’t get seated until over 30 mins after reservation time. Crowded entry level downstairs and seemed unorganized. Drinks and food were good, took a long time to make the drinks.

    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

    This is a superb speakeasy! The food options were very limited, yet the items we picked were delicious. The drinks were amazing! The live music was a nice touch. Only drawback was the two hours dining experience. The space was pretty empty yet we were rushed to wrap up. Great place for drinks and small plate items! Definitely recommend
