I visited Pretty Penny for the first time last night, and it is hands down the best dining experience I have had in a very long time. From our first step inside, we were not only greeted, but we were made welcome by Ivan and Jake. The attention to detail from table setting, to the thoughtfully laid out menu, and the high level of service were truly staggering and very appreciated. The food and cocktails are exceptional, and the team made us feel like we had been coming there for years. Again, Ivan and Jake's hospitality was second to none, and I am very grateful for the fabulous and memorable experience they created for us. We will be back. Thank you all!

One of my new faves. Creative, delicious, and excellent service.
Update 12-19-24: We already knew we had to talk to Chef Marcelino about a special occasion as he is the best. But we were not prepared for his creativity, drive, and his sheer joy in creating the most amazing food. We were blown away! A new memory we'll talk about forever and a new tradition for us. Can't wait for the next one!

Fantastic place. The one nit I have is that the bench seats were a little uncomfortable without any foot support
We try and check out a new restaurant every week here in Phoenix, or revisit those that we love. Now that we're reaching the end of 2025, I can honestly say that this is one of the best experiences currently in the valley. The food is innovative, service impeccable, and the atmosphere bumps to makes this such an incredible new experience each time. There are few places that constantly stay top of mind due to just the level of quality delivered, and Pretty Penny slays at it. Excited for the move to the new space. Can't wait for to see what's next.

We knew the first night we visited Ivan, chef Marcelino, Brian and Jake that we would be regulars, and guess what, we came for three nights in a row!!!
We're now regulars and chef keeps us guessing with menu regular and refreshing changes... Our favorite place in Phoenix hands down!!!

Had an incredible meal here last night. Ivan, Mars, Jake and staff did a phenomenal job and exceeded all expectations. The passion this team has for their craft is evident, and their attention to detail was spot on. Beyond that, just great people, who love what they do. Will be back. 🙏

I’m in town for business and looking for a place to go to dinner. I saw they had steak tartare, so I was in. We started with the crab noodles. They were amazing! They had a Vietnamese flavor to they that we loved. The steak tartare was one of the best I ever had. There was a smoky flavor that really set it apart. As the dishes kept coming we were more and more amazed at the quality , flavor and technic. The server was attentive and welcoming. The chef came over after the meal and we talked for a while. He even shared some of his magic ingredients. This place is a hidden gem and I will be coming back.

This is a special place. Probably the best restaurant in downtown Phoenix right now and I say that as someone who has lived downtown for the last 15 years. The PERFECT place for a date or friend’s night. The service is impeccable, the food is creative with incredible flavors, and the atmosphere is off the charts. My husband and I are vegetarian and they enthusiastically catered to us, even creating a special off-menu item, which wasn’t even necessary because every veg dish we ordered from the menu was amazing. What more can I say?

The food was so delicious and the flavors take you on a journey. Make a reservation and you’re greeted w a glass of bubbles. We felt well taken care of and were excited about each dish and cocktail. Can’t wait to go back and try more. Also heard about their crisp menu in October -

Unreal! Been to Michelin star restaurants and this place rivals that! They don’t miss a single detail in terms of service or food. Everything is spot on! If I could give 10 stars I would. Elevated yet relaxed vibes with top notch excellence of service and food. The octopus tostada is chef’s kiss. Perfect!!!
