Coming from a culinary background (Le Cordon Bleu trained pastry chef) the flavors and balance of drinks and dishes was spot on. I was hesitant about charred tomato and strawberry in a cocktail, but it was amazing. The beef tallow potatoes had the right touch of kosher salt and fatty unctuous mouthful was perfect. The sabayan was to die for. The service was absolutely top notch. Our bartender (I forgot his name, but he's from NM) was so friendly and personable. He made excellent recommendations based on small clues from our conversation. All in all, a fabulous experience

Having had the privilege of working with Michelin-starred chefs and James Beard-nominated establishments in Chicago/San Francisco and just moved to Phoenix, my wife and I approached Pretty Penny with high expectations. Needless to say, this exceptional restaurant surpassed them all, proudly standing as one of the finest dining experiences in Phoenix and the greater Southwest.

From the moment you step into Pretty Penny, you're enveloped in an inviting atmosphere where modern elegance meets warmth and comfort. The ambience strikes a remarkable balance, setting the stage for the culinary and beverage artistry that's about to unfold.

The dynamic team at Pretty Penny, led by the talented trio of Sean bartender whom greeted us, Jake, Sam servers helping each other and owner Brenon, orchestrates a seamless symphony of flavors and hospitality. Their dedication and passion are palpable, creating a service experience that's nothing short of stellar. Every detail is meticulously attended to, ensuring that guests feel not just welcomed but genuinely cared for.

The menu is a masterpiece in itself. Each dish showcases local ingredients with a unique twist, offering a harmonious blend of innovation and tradition. Whether you're indulging in their sumptuous appetizers, expertly prepared entrées, or decadent desserts, the flavors are both bold and nuanced, delighting the palate with every bite.

Yet, beyond the exceptional cuisine, it's the personal touches and thoughtful interactions that truly elevate the experience. Sean behind the bar helping his service team with seating and making amazing drinks according to my wife, Jake/Sam whom were helping each other and very knowledge about the menu, and Brenon's visionary leadership coalesce into a dining journey that is as memorable as it is delicious.

After savoring the culinary delights at Pretty Penny, I highly recommend extending the evening next door at their cocktail bar, Legends. This concept is an adventure in itself, with expertly crafted beverages and an atmosphere that invites relaxation and revelry. The creativity in the cocktail selections is akin to the culinary innovation found at Pretty Penny, making it the perfect post-dinner destination to unwind and reflect on a meal well-enjoyed.

Pretty Penny is not only a testament to culinary excellence but also a beacon of hospitality and community in Phoenix. Whether you're a local or just passing through, prepare yourself for an unforgettable dining experience that rivals the finest establishments across this great country. It's clear why this restaurant deserves a place among the best, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit.

In a city brimming with dining options, Pretty Penny stands out as a true gem—and one that should not be missed. Bravo to the entire team for crafting such a remarkable experience. Highly recommend!

Pretty Penny has hands down the best octopus dish in the valley. Brendon and Sam really outdid themselves with this concept. Amazing food, great vibe, fantastic service. 10/10 will return.

First off the service is above and beyond. That could’ve made the meal a 5 stars! The cocktails are unique and wonderful and the variety of food was amazing to split with a group. Highly recommend the chart octopus dish! Thank you for a wonderful celebration dinner.

I had the Octopus Tostados and Mango Crudo, both were exceedingly excellent. The staff paired this with an exquisite cocktail. Desert did not disappoint either. The staff also handled the solo dining experience impeccably.

I can’t say enough good things about Pretty Penny. Everything felt special, from the card on the table with the name of our reservation, to the prosecco toast to kick off the meal. All the food was incredible. The server was attentive without being overbearing. Everyone seemed happy to be working and dining there.
The Google Maps location does seem to place this across the street though, so it was a little hard to find.
