“Although the Lower Buckeye restaurant is relatively new the staff is becoming a big part of the neighborhood. Server Miriam employed by a competitor I once patronized, missing her she was gone. When I learned she had relocated to your establishment I relocated to. It isn’t just food restaurants serve, joy and happiness come with the staff providing good service with a smile. The kind of service Miriam provides. I would believe that other customers of Miriam at the old venue now joins her at her new location. Her smile and joyful disposition is contagious. Her expedient service is always on point. She is such a delight. I also observe is she interacts well with her coworkers. Your company benefits not just monetary, but good customer service having an asset like Miriam on two fronts, a happy work environment and satisfied customers.“

“We are new-ish to the Valley & like to support local places, so we look for new restaurants to visit each weekend. I found The Main Ingredient on FB yesterday & the menu caught my attention. We'll, SO glad we drive in to try it! Holy smokes did we gave a great lunch today! I had the brunch huevos & the hubs had the Cuban. Great portions (I couldn't finish my huevos) and both of us were saying we want to come back & try other items. The service was fine - I definitely felt like if you were from the neighborhood you were recognized & chatted up, but by no means was our server not perfectly fine... appropriately friendly & attentive, drinks & refills arrived promptly, she checked on us mid-meal, the bill came promptly. Zero complaints on service but hands in the air on that food! We'll definitely return to try out more of the menu!“

“The adult beverages, food, and service all went above and beyond my expectations!!! You owe it to your to give this place a try!!! And, a special "THANK YOU" to our server Hilary!!! She was so knowledgeable about the menu items, and drink choices, and provided an AMAZING experience!!!“

“Its like Yougurtini but for beer and wine! You get a keyfob you tap on your choice and those in your party can either taste or drink any beer from the wall. Try "The Godfather" its an amazing Italian IPA“

“You can really see how hard the kitchen team is working, and it adds to the whole experience. I love the open kitchen setup—it’s cool being able to watch everything happening in real time. The staff deserves real credit for the effort they put in. We’ll definitely be back, and I hope they keep serving those great oysters. It’s not always easy finding solid, fresh seafood like this, but this place is doing it right and keeping things consistent.“

“I have been going to this hidden gem for at least 20 years. Always a nice meal and staff. Pies to die for. Go to place for a Turkey supper or Prime Rib and of course Chicken Fried Steak. Hope they remain in business for many years to come.“

“As a proud Wine Club member, I recently planned a Ladies Night Out for wine tasting and dinner, and once again, this place exceeded all expectations! The Wine Club perks alone make membership worth every penny.

We started the evening with a wine tasting that featured an excellent selection. Matthew made the experience even better with his outstanding customer service, warm personality, and welcoming smile.

For dinner, we were fortunate to have Jena P. as our server, and she was absolutely phenomenal! She was attentive, friendly, and made us feel like VIPs from beginning to end. Her positive energy and genuine hospitality truly elevated our evening.

Our party of four shared several appetizers, and there was more than enough to go around. The Thai Lettuce Wraps were hands down my favorite—they were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious!

Before leaving, I picked up my monthly Wine Club bottles and was assisted by Bobby. He was fantastic! He took the time to highlight the incredible benefits of the Wine Club while keeping us laughing the entire time. His enthusiasm and knowledge made an already great evening even more memorable.

From start to finish, the entire staff made us feel welcomed, appreciated, and valued. Exceptional customer service like this is the reason I continue to return and proudly recommend this place to my friends and family. Thank you for consistently creating such an amazing experience. I can’t wait for my next visit!“

“The two of us visited this location after hearing a recommendation from a colleague who enjoys the food and whose husband is a fan of the beer. We walked in and took seats at the bar to get a feel for the establishment.

Service and Atmosphere
The initial greeting was quick, but it felt as though we were being forced into making a drink selection before we were ready. This set a tone for the visit that we found difficult to overcome. Although we tried two drinks each, we simply could not get into the atmosphere or connect with the wait staff. The environment did not align with our preferences for a relaxed outing.

Selection and Final Thoughts
The beer itself was better than average, and the selections were quite good. While the quality of the beverage was evident, the overall experience was not compelling enough to warrant a return. For our tastes, this visit remains a one and done experience.“

“They were so good the first time - I had to go back!“

“I was there Monday night and have to admit are waiter alba gave us the most professional service next time I go im really looking forward to her helping us again“

“Awesome golf course very beautiful and tough!“

“Food Was Super Awesome, Fresh, & Delicious. Service Was Amazing, & Fast.“

“Great food at a great price.“

“I recently stayed at the Embassy Suites in downtown Phoenix and had the absolute pleasure of dining at Salt River Tavern throughout my trip. Having seen some dated negative reviews online, I was a bit skeptical at first. However, it's clear that the restaurant has a new chef and a completely new menu, as my experience was nothing short of divine. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with excellent service from a friendly and attentive staff, which set the tone for every meal I had there. It's truly a testament to the hotel's commitment to quality that the service is top-tier from the front desk to the restaurant.

The food itself was a culinary masterpiece. Over the course of the week, I had the opportunity to try several dishes, and each one was better than the last. The Aged Prime New York Strip was perfectly cooked, tender, and incredibly flavorful. The Filet Mignon with Lobster Ravioli was spectacular, with the lobster ravioli elevating the dish to a whole new level. For something a bit more casual, the Steakhouse Burger was juicy and delicious, while the grilled Buffalo wings were a unique and unforgettable take on a classic. The quality of the ingredients and the precision in cooking were evident in every single bite.

My experience at Salt River Tavern was truly phenomenal, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The restaurant has clearly undergone a positive transformation, and I cannot praise the current chef and staff enough. The complimentary breakfast, which was also delicious, just added to the overall fantastic experience. This is a must-visit restaurant in downtown Phoenix, and I will definitely be returning on my next visit.“

“Fantastic bread! As a world traveler, who spent a lot of time in Europe, and is very familiar with what defines good quality bread, I was delighted when I found this little hidden treasure in Phoenix. The bread has flavor, is organic, and is toothsome. Such deliciousness to go with a winter soup or a salad or lunches. I am very selective about bread and I don’t eat any bread unless it’s like this organic and flavorful. The vast majority of people do not get enough fiber, and this scrumptious bread is filled with fiber and much easier to digest because it is made with organic grains grown and milled here in the United States of America.. I was so happy to find this place, and will be a frequent customer in the future.“

“Down Town Happy Food
Need something simple or a whole meal like me because the menu is Delicious and so Surreal that I wanted to Order Everything
But with a family for 4 I got to try a lot of it
🤣 😂
Down Town Food Stop Must Have

“So good! Good wait time. Good food. My go to is a Chile Dogo w/ Chile Toreado & Fríes 😮‍💨😮‍💨 10/10“

“This is outside of the ballpark so no ticket is needed. Sits in left field right on the line. Outside seating requires $100 purchase per person which is not difficult when having a meal.

Hugh shrimp. Great burgers and the poke bowl is fresh.
The milkshakes are from next door and are wonderful.
Saturday's can be busy but Sunday was very few customers..

Very good Manhattan ($24)
No draft beers, just cans.“

“Fresh Ingredients, creative menu with protein focus, low carb and sugar free options I love their protein shakes, protein crepes, paninis and acai bowls“
