Like the bar. Did not experience the restaurant food or the music in the bar. Staff is friendly and efficient. I did try the creme brulee...coconut creme brulee. It was very good. I had an extensive conversation with the chef regarding sushi -- he was previously a sushi chef. If you go to the Clarendon's website, there are some great restaurant referrals in Phoenix.

My boyfriend surprised me with dinner to Todd's on Valentine's Day! It was a great surprise and even better food! The service was great and the waitress had made some recommendations for wine pairing and they were all great. We had a nice intimate table and was a great ending to our night!

One star is being considerate....... Went @ 5pm on a Saturday & sat @ the bar. Bartender was restocking the bar @ the other end & never greeted us. While we waited patiently for her to come over, 4 people walked in wanting drinks to-go & she served them before even greeting us. I had to stop the Manager to take our drink order & food order after waiting about 10 minutes. Only about 4 tables were occupied in the restaurant, yet it took about 40 minutes to get burgers for the 3 of us. The food was decent but customer service was horrible.

What's not to love about CM. You got novelty items to look through, great beer and a deli that always looks fantastic even though I've literally never tried it. This location with it's new outdoor patio out front really has a following it seems. We stopped in just the other day on a weekday and the place was packed. Be aware the parking out front is weird and you basically have to back into a parking spot. Strange and awkward. I come here for the beer selection, that's the main reason. They always have good taps on deck and the bottle selection is equally impressive.
