    Nicely designed space overall but we sat at the bar which has VERY uncomfortable seats, they were going for the Roaring 20's in the place look but unfortunately also used the same bar seats those poor people sat on a century ago! It was early evening and the place was half empty but the hostess still sat us at the end of the bar in front of a large lamp and right next to the service bar even though there were 10 other open seats. The bartender was a young girl who poured us two espresso martinis but my wife's was half foam - when we informed the bartender that one drink was half foam she didn't think to fix it, she only responded that's the way that tap works - like WTF?! We pay 30 bucks a drink and that's the service response we get from this 20 something bartender with a sweatshirt on?? Needless to say we left and won't come back.

We’d love the opportunity to make things right—please reach out to our manager through our website or give us a call. We value your input and hope to improve for the future.

    We did not eat there, but the place is very cool! Our only issue was the music, the band use to (and maybe still does) play at the Ocean Club. We were really excited to hear jazz, blues music, not pop music, therefore we had one drink and left.
    Tell Your FriendsResponded on 17 March 2025
    Dear Maria, Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the atmosphere at Tell Your Friends.

    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.
