Review from Chris B.
3/20/2012 1 Check-in Here
For a couple of reasons, 1130 has become a regular after-work haunt for me. First off, it's conveniently located in the Arizona Center. And I always like an excuse to linger in downtown Phoenix and people-watch after the sun goes down and the trees in the AZ Center light up. Secondly, I've become somewhat addicted to their wings ever since being invited here a couple of times on somebody else's dollar. They're really perfectly seasoned with just enough peppery heat. Mind you, this is not my favorite place in Phoenix for hot wings when I am on that mission, but these are a very compelling appetizer.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover they offer a 10%-off discount if you check in through Yelp on your mobile phone. They already had me at Happy Hour drink and appetizer discounts, but another break on the price is always welcome.
Consider checking out 1130 if you're catching a movie at the cinemas in the Arizona Center. You could always go for a plate of wings instead of a movie theater hot dog, couldn't you? I know I could. -

I read quite a few reviews before I ended up eating here and to say the least I wasn't excited about it. However happy hour and drinks turned into dinner so I ended up trying it and i was pleasantly surprised.
Food - 3.5/5
Everyone I was with seemed to enjoy their meals ranging from salad, burgers, steak to fish. I enjoyed the Smothered Chicken. The only complaint is that the waitress brought out what looked delicious their "speciality" cheese covered bread. The bread was a little chewy / soggy i had a couple bites before pushing it aside.
Service - 4/5
Our waitress braved a couple moves on the patio and our transition to the dining room, she was nice and conversational.
Atmosphere - 3/5
Nice atmosphere, wasn't crowded, in fact it was almost empty.
Price - 2/5
Reasonable but nothing to jump up and down about.
Overall - Worth a try, I'd go back for the Smothered Chicken again. -

They have a great happy hour here, which is really the only time I would go. The food is okay, not fantastic, but decent enough. The drinks are good, and the staff is nice. They also validate for 2 hours with the AZ Center parking garage.

Had the shrimp alfredo..sauce was good... shrimp looked raw... i was too scared to eat them and didn't feel like bothering to send it back. The waiter although friendly spoke so soft that I would have to ask him to repeat himself every time he spoke. I know thats super minor but its kinda a pet peeve of mine.

I went here for a Financial presentation with my Young Professional group tonight. The drinks were great! The girl next to me told me it was all gone as I was sucking the residue out of the glass. I had the chicken sandwich and fries. The chicken was grilled perfectly and it was the largest piece I've ever seen. Def going back.

Yikes! Went here for a USC social and the food - me thinks not! The only thing that was good was the salad. The chicken with red pepper sauce and goat cheese was overcooked. The sausage pasta in red sauce was overcooked. The mashed potatoes tasted like they were the "just add water" kind. I would definitely skip this place.

Three stars it is...
The food was adequate...an ok choice if you are seeking refuge from one of the neighboring hotels. You will not have a memorable dining experience here, so not a good choice for a date.
Food - ok, but everything is heavily salted ( I guess it helps prevent dehydration ).
Service - ok. Do I really have to ask for water in Phoenix?
Decor - ok. But for the price, perhaps a table cloth or sheet of paper...
Wine list - as long as you like their choices of mass market wines priced by the glass the same as the bottle price at your local grocer I guess it's ok. -

Ate here twice, both outside and inside. The half price wine bottles on Wednesday is worth the trip, esp since the food was excellent! Service was good, but I get tired of people asking if everything is ok, from the server to 2 separate managers wandering around. Could you at least wait until we have cut into the food to come ask if everything is ok?

I am unsure how to commiserate with everyone else's reviews because when I stopped in at 1130 for the supposedly excellent happy hour I was seated immediately and water was dropped off, my drink order taken and then promptly received! I was with a group of friends and we ordered basically everything off of the happy hour menu.
Word of caution their wings are SPICYYYYY so for those who do not enjoy a fire in your mouth avoid at all costs.
HOWEVER, even if you do not like calamari I advise EVERYONE to try theirs. For four dollars you will not be disappointed. It seemed they flash fried it and then tossed it in a sweet Thai sauce that had me eating my friends food off of her plate and making me ignore my own wings!
I really loved their cheesecake because it was not overly rich and had a thicker Graham cracker crust!
All in all I will definitely be returning and would highly recommend someone else going!
FOOTNOTE: maybe I went to 1130 when they finally sorted out who was a good server and who wasn't? -

How is this place still open? Tried it numerous times simply for the geographical convenience. Every time the food is HORRIBLE. Last experience included gross Bloody Mary's not work the two bucks, an overcooked and under seasoned salmon, soggy greasy fries and bad service.
I will not come back here. -

We were in town for business at the Sheraton so we went into 1130 for dinner late on a Thursday night,.
Very good service. Offered a gluten free menu. Drinks were good. My Cobb salad was delicious. They modified the chicken piccata and put it over rice for my hubby instead of with pasta (gluten) and he liked it very much. The buffalo chicken wings were average.
I would go there again. -

This place isn't that bad if you are in the mood for Applebee's-meets-steakhouse. The steak is good, but overcooked regardless of how your order it. Great vegetable selection. The mixed green starter salad could easily be a full meal, along with any of the vegetable side dishes. The beer selection is mediocre, with only two local brews on tap.
All you people giving this place a bad review ... get over yourselves. It is in a shopping plaza by the convention center in a part of the country where cattle should not be raised. What do you expect? -

I made the mistake of revisiting 1130 for lunch yesterday and immediately regretted it.
Bloody Marys were on special so we ordered up a round. Big mistake. They were chunky and revolting - mine went back. I ordered the turkey burger and my companion had the salmon sandwich. After a wait that was infinitely too long we received our rather sad looking meals. My turkey burger came completely dry and solo on a squished and soggy bun. It was obviously a frozen patty and not from a reputable brand either. My fries were even worse as they were both undercooked and greasy at the same time. My companion's salmon sandwich was overcooked and served with rancid looking lettuce. Not a good way to earn our favor.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs.1 Previous Review:

1130 a place that has lots of potential but is not quite there yet. My latest experience was meeting up with some friends on a Saturday afternoon to talk business over some lunch. I was excited to find out that the brunch menu lasts until 3 PM which included their $2 mimosas. The mimosas are not made with the best champagne in the world but hey they'll do for a casual lunch.
It was pretty empty inside so we decided to dine on the patio so we could also people watch. I ordered the salmon burger with a side salad which was pretty good. The size of the salmon was huge and the sauce that was on the bun was delish. The salad was just meh, again the dressing was good but the lettuce was not fresh.
Our server was a bit forgetful as well he mixed up a couple of things on our orders but at least he offered to split the check for us. Overall this was an average dining experience. -

1130 was the 3rd stop on our dine around tour today and it was pretty average. The three of us had a taste of everything they offered, but I had the pesto chicken pasta and their $2 mimosa (normal brunch menu offering). The pesto was a good portion, but it seemed like they thinned the pesto out to make it last, so it didn't have as much flavor as it could have. And the chicken was a little lackluster. I didn't taste the lobster cup since I'm not a seafood fan, but Jon seemed to enjoy it. The key lime pie was pretty standard, and the mimosas were heavy on the champagne, which I guess can be good but threw off the balance of the drink. Our server Kai was great, and I think on a Fri or Sat night this would be a good place to grab some drinks or dinner. I wouldn't rule it out, but nothing really stood out about it, besides the service.

We ate lunch here last week because we were sick of all the other restaurants in the Arizona Center and hadn't tried it yet. It was okay all around. The hostess/manager was super friendly and warm and even visited our table during the meal to speak with us. They offer a 10% discount for ASU students which is always a plus. The server was alright. He offered us flavored tea but failed to mention that they came in bottles, which neither of us wanted. I got a side caesar and the seafood pasta. My friend got the french dip. The food was okay. The salad was absolutely huge for a side salad and I quickly regretted ordering it. My friend's fries were good but the french dip's meat was extremely salty and hard to eat. My pasta, like the rest of the food, was just mediocre. In the end, we probably won't go back here because it is the least pleasing restaurant in the center.

I visit 1130 often, due to its close proximity to home. But I keep going back when there are often other alternatives, so that must mean something. When the weather is nice, there is nothing better than their patio on a weekend afternoon. Pull up a chair and order the first round of $2 Mimosas. They can get a little pulpy for my taste, so sometimes I'll ask for pulp-free OJ. But come on...$2 Mimosas.
I've had food at 1130 and its never been anything to write home about (much less a review), so I won't. They have a pretty good happy hour and the bar area often gets quite busy (there seem to be a lot of meetings held there, like social clubs and post-convention types). I've always had good service and they at least pretend to remember me, which I appreciate.
I know what I'll remember...$2 Mimosas! -

Came by for brunch after spending the morning at the Women's Expo.
I'm not sure if the place was new OR if maybe they were trying to save on their electric bill, but the room they put us in did not have the a/c on,,,,, in September, in Phoenix, what the heck?
The food was OK. We had artichoke dip to start & then I had the 2 egg break meal (eggs, potatoes, toast). None of it was bad, but my taste buds did not dance. They had Mimosas & Bloody Marys for $2 so I had a Mimosa. I got what I deserved for $2 I guess, lol
Centrally located, plenty of parking, shopping & entertainment. -

I met my yelper buddy Dottsy for happy hour before a show at the Herberger. This was my first time and hers as well-at the restaurant. I arrived about 15 minutes early but decided to get a table and start on a cocktail. I may as well have waited outside as the server was absentee. When he finally arrived, he did apologize however.
We ordered the lobster lettuce cups and sweet chili calamari. The lobster cups were chunks of lobster meat, avocado, and a veggie slaw-really good. We ordered the calamari at the server's suggestion. I am not generally a huge fan of calamari, but this was soooo gooood. Perfectly cooked, and the sweet chili sauce was just enough to give it a little zing, but not overpower the dish. And the serving was HUGE, and I'm an eater. I was sorry we didn't have time to finish it. I considered dumping it in my purse, but not sure the other theater patrons would have appreciated that.
Happy hour prices are great as well. I think our bill came to $30 for a glass of wine, a specialty drink, and the two appetizers. Definitely four stars for happy hour in spite of the slow start. I'll have to try dinner next time. -

Dined with the Mrs. last night at 1130 before the Herberger. We've been here a few times and enjoyed our meals and service. We prefer the patio - great people watching and a view of the lawn and palms. Steaks are always spot on amazing and I highly recommend the Lobster appetizer. Parking is a little bit of a pain being in the Arizona Center, but we scored a space right on the street!

I'm surprised to see all the great reviews for this place - I think its terrible in many ways...
I work across the street and my coworkers and I often head over to the AZ center for Happy Hour. We've tried 1130 a few times and each time leave disappointed. This place tries to be more than it is and charges a pretty penny for its mediocre food and horrible service. I've been in there when there are only 2 other tables filled in the entire place and not seen my waiter for 20 minutes. My glass empty and my group ready for another round.
On our last trip, we got there 10 minutes before they started happy hour - they wouldn't serve us at happy hour prices, so we said come back in 10 minutes then. Most places I've been will gladly serve you and just wait to punch in the order in a few minutes, but 1130 was not interested in do this. So, after 10 minutes, no waiter. 25 minutes, no waiter. Some goofy dude came out after a while and told us our waiter was getting dressed and would be right out.... Another 10 minutes later, she made her way out and we finally got our order in!!
When she brought our beers ( 2 8th Streets, 2 Blue Moons) she handed us the glasses - who does that? Every place I've ever been sits them on the table rather than awkwardly hand them to you risking spilling it all over you... Whats worse is the pint glasses weren't even full!! They looked as though our late dressing waitress had taken a fat gulp out of them on her way to our table!!
We also ordered some Calamari, luckily it was happy hour so it was 1/2 way affordable, but it was heavy on the garnish and few on the calamaris. There were 4 of us and you know how it is when you share an ap, nobody wants to be the one to finish it - well, our waitress finally made her way back to our table (after I had an empty glass for over 10 minutes) and without asking took the plate of calamari! For RUDE! Paws off lady, ask first before grabbing at our food.
Overall, this place is trying to be way more than it actually is. Its way overpriced for what you get. The service is horrendous - and I say that only after giving it several tries. It might be an okay place to grab a drink (it is cozy afterall) but even at $3.25 happy hour pints, it ain't cheap. I just don't see it lasting long at that location. -

SLOWEST SERVICE IN PHOENIX, GREAT BLOODY MARY MIX, SALTY, STALE FOOD, WHAT A WASTE!
--EXCELLENT bloody mary, and for $2 special, Sat-Sun 11a-3p! One star (up from zero) for an excellent drink. THAT'S IT.
--walked in to find a customer at the podium waiting to complain about being abandoned at his patio table for the last 30 minutes
--waited 15 minutes for our first round of drinks in the bar
--when our party joined us and we sat, waited 10 minutes to have our drink order taken;
--25 more minutes for our drinks to arrive (we insisted she take our order before leaving);
--food arrived more than _one hour_ after ordering
--the scrambled eggs were crusty and old, obviously made hours earlier; we were too hungry and pissy to send them back -- GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE!
--the lobster bits and their sauce were nothing but salt! A salt lick would have been less salty.
--gratuity was automatically added (forced upon us) despite the delays, and with no apologies
--no parking validations available; they said they "ran out". WHAT!!?
If I ever go back, I'll go straight to the bar and hope for quicker service on a Bloody Mary by itself. I probably won't. -

We returned to 1130 for the third time last night. I was craving steak, and remembered that I had seen that they had several options for cut and topping. We were seated immediately in a restaurant that was fuller than we had ever seen it. Our server came quickly, and proved to be adequate, but her style needed some polish. Maybe you could wait more than 2 seconds after giving us the drink menu to ask what we want? Anyway, they were out of Fat Tire, to Hubby's disappointment, but I enjoyed my Stella on tap.
Hubby ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken (subbed for the shrimp). Bad choice, simply because he had just had Pizza a Metro's gnocchi with Alfredo the other day. No one but Mario Batali might top Maurizio's glorious sauce (Hubby just chimed in with "yeah, and that's a *maybe*") . We discovered that the honey butter cheesy bread was now quite different- no discernible honey and too much cheese.
So why the four stars, when nothing yet seems to have been really stellar? The steak, my friends, the steak. Ribeye, medium rare, Classic Phoenix Seasoning. Pretty damn near perfect. The best steak I've had in a long time. I'll be back for more.Listed in: I Love Cow!

We went here on a Saturday afternoon and this place was incredibly empty. They had brunch specials going on, including $2 bloody mary's and mimosas, but we were more in the mood for lunch. Except for the bloody mary, I had to try one. It came out in a high-ball-sized glass. Boo! But it was really tasty. Yay! The hubby remembered a sign outside the restaurant a few weeks back that said they had Arrogant Bastard, and he got a 22 oz bottle for $4.75. Hey, that's not fair!!
Next up: the wings. We were a bit hesitant to order them when the waitress informed us that they are "seasoned" but not sauced, so they can't be ordered hot. We did ask for them crispy though, and the waitress even asked the cooks to throw them back in for a few minutes when they came out not visibly crispy. These non-traditional wings were actually pretty damn good. The seasoning was a little spicy and salty with just a hint of sweet. If I were in the mood for the tang and kick of Frank's Hot Sauce, these wouldn't cut it, but otherwise they were good enough to go back again for.
My entree was the Tilapia salad, and I was a bit disappointed. The fish was a bit dry and uninspired. And the greens underneath were overdressed and wilted. I ate the greens around the fish and picked out the almonds and Mandarin oranges, but I had to leave the mush hiding underneath the fish.
It wasn't bad enough to say I wouldn't go back, but I won't be anxiously awaiting my next trip.Listed in: My Neighborhood, Wings

This is my third or fourth time coming here, and I have never, ever had a negative experience. The staff is very polite and very attentive to whatever you need. The food was excellent and we always come for $2 mimosas during brunch on saturdays/sundays.
Once we entered, we were seated within a few minutes (they were making a table for our larger party). We got our first round of mimosas, and we were impressed. Very good blend of OJ and champagne, not too much of either.
The selection of food is realllllllly good. They offer brunch from 11-3 on sat/sun and the specials are amazing. We had a lobster omelette, which was AMAZING. It was a decent-sized omelette with 5-6 huge chunks of lobster on top and mixed into the omelette. They do top it with quite a lot of sauce, so if you are not a sauce kind of person, I would recommend getting it on the side.
We also had walnut-maple pancakes, which were very good as well. They were a little cold when we got them, but they were still good. Another person orded the grilled salmon sandwich and another got steak eggs benedict. Everyone was pleased.
For 3 rounds of mimosas and 5 entrees, the bill came out to about $100. Not cheap but definitely not expensive. We ate outside in perfect weather on a saturday morning, so the whole experience was relaxing. I will continue to come back here over and over again. -

The food was fairly standard and service just a little odd, but I'm picky - when you repeat back "dressing on the side" and then bring the salad wearing its dressing, that's a fail. Lucky for you, it wasn't overdressed, and as an added bonus the chicken was nice and moist. Please don't call me sweetheart. I'm older than you and it seems weird.
I had "cobb" salad on my receipt even though I had the "asian" salad. I sure hope there isn't a price differential, potential stealer pants!
I'm not clamoring to get back for a meal, but I would very happily kick it out on the patio with a glass of wine and some snacks pre or post movie.Listed in: Arizona

Just wasn't impressed. Went for dinner after my first-first Friday.
The over cooked calamari was OK because of the sweet chili sauce.
I love french fries, these again were OK I'd give them 6 on a scale of 1-10.
French fries are a treat so I was disappointed. The lobster lettuce rolls, the lobster was tasteless (frozen?). The fried won ton strips seemed out of place.. The cheese bread that came with both our meals also seemed out of place and a bit off. You know that sour cheese vibe, not funky good cheese but the other. Our waiter was friendly, still service wasn't fantastic. Seems like a corner cafe trying to be a french bistro and failing at both. The best part of the meal was first the company, my niece and second the wine, third the waiter! I hate wasting my money and calories on mediocre---- Peace Out -

I don't get the negative reviews of this place.
I went there with a date after we saw a movie at the Arizona Center. The food was great (the sauteed spinach was the best I've ever had and the steak gave Durants a run for its money at half the price). My date said his food was equally great and planned to go back,
The service was perfect.
The only thing that left me puzzled why why it was so empty on a weekend night. Kind of made me wonder. -

What better way to spend a night out on the town (downtown Phoenix style) than to over-indulge in a three course dinner at 1130, the Arizona Center's newest fine dining establishment? Their wine list and menu alone should be enough to intice you into trying this cool new locale out, but instead you get the added bonus of a warm and welcoming atmosphere, excellent service, and a hip. new urban vibe.
Start off with an apetizer, which is half off during happy hour. I highly reccomend the Spinach and Artichoke dip served hot in a dainty au gratin dish along with tri-color tortilla chips. Their queso and crab dip is pretty stellar as well, packed with flavor, the calories in it are worth it!
Lunch and dinner menus are slightly different, but cater to those on a budget and those who want to live a little. Vegetarian? Try the Veggie Platter! Grilled asparagus, a portabella mushroom steak, roasted tomatoes, rice pilaf blend, and the best sauteed spinach I have ever had in my life. This meal is inexpensive, filling, and can suit the needs of even the biggest meat eater.
Is steak more your arena? 1130 may not look like the run of the mill Southwestern steak house, but they do compete with the best offering a multitude of rubs, toppings, and choice cuts. I highly reccommend their delmonico steak "black and bleu" style paired with a glass of pinot noir and vegetable sides.
But don't forget to save some room for desert! Mango Key Lime pie is pretty decent, but it is all about their S'More Chocolate-- a warm fresh-baked brownie with grand marnier, toasted marshmallow, and whipped cream. French press coffee and Republic of Teas are also available to help you unwind after such a satisfying meal.
A great date place.Listed in: Valley of the Sun: Phoenix, AZ

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors server.
I was so guilty of this. As I sat there looking for my server I watched the super server who had what seemed like the entire restaurant as her station. It seemed like every employee in the restaurant checked on me. except my server. If I waited for her to bring me some more iced tea I would still be looking. No silerware. No smile. No "how is your burger". No "thanks for coming in"
I felt like she was an ex-girlfriend I ran into at some bar somewhere. No eye contact, minimal conversation, every thing was just really tense.
Food was a little disappointing. The bun was soggy and the paddy just fell apart. The presentation looked like it was a tossed hamburger. Everything just kind of landed on the plate.
On the plus side the ice was cold and I got billed the correct amount. (eventually)
Don't think I will be back. -

American fare, serving your standard salads, burgers, sandwiches. You won't really find any surprises here. What they lack in menu innovation is made up somewhat in preparation. I had a sandwich and tried some of the salmon salad. Both were very good portions, well prepared, and flavorful. Service was friendly and attentive. In general, it's not a place I would immediately go to again if I were at the Arizona Center since I want to try the other restaurants they have first, but it's a solid choice if you're wanting something familiar.

EXCELLENT SERVICE. Our group was seated a minute after we got there (we had 5 in our group) and we sat outside. Beautiful Saturday to have brunch.
The menu selection was excellent. I had the Steak & Eggs Benedict- and it was PERFECT. And the potatoes that came with it were delicious!

Honestly, the food here was decent. But in my opinion when the service is so bad, sometimes it overshadows the menu! This is that instance. We waited 20 minutes to be greeted at our table. Another 35 for our salads. And our waiter was so arrogant and distant that my manager actually left him a note saying "it appeared we were bothering him by being there" Anyway, the waiters and waitresses seemed to be more concerned with each other in the back corner of the restaurant, but unfortunately in plain sight of patrons, than they were with their customers.

I can't really say too much about this place since I only had drinks, and that was a mojito, which isn't my favorite drink. I did have a strawberry mojito which was actually really good. My friend had a coconut mojito and she loved it. The specialty menu shows mostly mojitos so I think its kind of a niche for them.

My friend, Heather, and I had a lovely dinner at 1130 on Saturday night. We made unnecessary reservations (don't you just hate that - you make a reservation and the place is empty??) for 5:45 PM because we were seeing ATC's Enchanted April at the Herberger, and I needed to be at the theatre by 7:15 PM.
Heather had the Raspberry Cosmo and I had the Bellini-Tini (vodka and peach schnapps). Both were delicious!
For dinner, Heather got the Pasta Rustica, and I had the Smothered Chicken. I devoured my meal. The grilled chicken was on rice pilaf and was definitely smothered in a Red Pepper cream sauce. Then, the chicken was topped with goat cheese and spinach. Yum!
Heather liked her pasta dish too, but she tasted mine and said that next time she'll get the chicken.
While I nursed my one drink, Heather enjoyed a cup of french roast coffee that came out in a French press and smelled heavenly.
As we walked over to the theatre, Heather commented, "That was a really great meal."

I wish this place were better but it ain't. One late night stop for drinks/dinner and a happy hour celebrating the premiere of SATC 2 were all that it took. I love the bar area setup and think the place has a lot of potential, but the food and drinks just aren't good enough to make the cut.
The seafood pasta was totally overpriced and a bit fishy. The shrimp cocktail appetizer was covered in some overly sweet tomato sauce. My Cosmo (in honor of the movie, of course) was super saccharin with just a hint of vodka. I know you're doing a special promotion, but why not use that opportunity to impress potential customers? Also, the service was less than impressive and a bit curt.
I say pass. If you want inoffensive bar food, try Coach and Willie's or Majerle's instead. -

I came here for brunch. Since I hadn't had a good meal in Phoenix yet, I was a little worried. I worried for nothing-- the food was really good. My eggs benedict was very tasty. I would definitely come back.
The only criticism was that the tea selection was a little poor. I would expect something better than Bigelow.
