About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Hot spot
  • Good for special occasions
From the Pretty Decent Concepts team comes Filthy Animal. Elegant and wild, this concept is inspired by the beauty and brutality of the jungle. Featuring a wood fire cooking pit as the focal point of the restaurant, this concept is delivering a dining experience like no other in Arizona.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Stepping into Filthy Animal is a transportive experience, thanks to a sexy dining room done up in rich leathers, dark wood, and hanging greenery—all centered around a large jaguar. The global restaurant comes from the team behind popular spots Wren & Wolf and Carry On, and must-tries on the wood-fire-driven menu include tuna pineapple ceviche and spicy grilled lobster with mala sauce and gochujang butter. Pro tip: Don't miss Drop Dead Gorgeous, the disco-inspired cocktail bar hidden inside.

    The first impression from this place is that the interior is beautiful, the design and decorations really really stand out immediately. The music and vibes inside were top tier, the service was very good. The servers were friendly, the food did take a bit to come out however there seemed to be large groups in attendance which could add to the food wait time. I would have like to see an actual menu with non alcoholic drinks and a dessert menu as well. The menu itself is very simple but has some major dishes on it. All of them delicious with their twist and flavors. Their half chicken was delicious, and the appetizers were excellent. The value itself for a place like this is in my opinion amazing, I was expecting higher prices coming in as the food and ambiance definitely screams high value dining. Overall I would definitely reccomend and would come back! P.S parking is somewhat problematic, there is a lot of construction and it’s a very busy area so you will have to park a bit further and walk to the actual restaurant so keep that in mind.

    Noah and Michael were wonderful. Nate was our guide who artfully ensured we were exploring the menu to its best along with giving us recommendations to the most optimal approach. The space and decor are whimsical and the speak easy Drop Dead Gorgeous is not to be overlooked.

    Found this restaurant on Instagram. The amazing videos and food had me intrigued. Did a date night by myself to enjoy all the offerings. Booking through OpenTable only allows bar seating as the restaurant does not have single seating. Immediately among checking in, I was greeted and walked to the bar setting. Lots of service from the bar staff with great recommendations and options to choose from. Though a limited menu there’s something for everyone. Based on the bartenders recommendation, I ended up ordering the New York strip. Looking at those around me all the dishes looked amazing. The chef’s presentations were like a piece of art. While waiting for my food which came rather quickly, I did observe the restaurant. I walked over to the flame Grill, which was a very interesting experience. One of the managers greeted me and explained the preparation and cooking techniques that this establishment offers. It was very interesting to see the smoking process of the meat along with the fresh vegetables. My food came quickly and tasted very well. The only thing was my steak was cold. I also ordered medium well and thought it was a little pink. I did not complain as I know that this is a new establishment and they were rather busy. The garnished arugula salad was amazing. I will return this time with a date to get the full experience as I noticed. This is a perfect date night whether you’re in or outside.

    After enjoying the soft opening, I was so excited to come back. During the soft opening, I had both the short ribs and whipped potatoes. They were amazing and I e been counting down the days until I could take my parents here. I’ve also been telling everyone I know they need to come here. This time, at least the Brie appetizer was good. My short ribs were cold, tough and smothered in so much sauce it was hard to taste the meat. The potatoes were thick and cold. My dad’s steak was also cold along with my mom’s chicken. Disappointed to say the least

    I thought I'd celebrate my girlfriend's birthday at the new hot spot on Mill so I made a reservation a while ago. I made a note in the reservation that it was for a birthday AND I made sure to call the day before to double check that we would get good seats because it was for her birthday. The hostess was aware of the occasion, so there was no lack of information regarding the birthday. We got absolutely nothing special for her birthday. Now, i'm not demanding or picky and I don't expect every restaurant to celebrate birthdays but the couple sitting next to us was also celebrating a birthday and they were given a dessert with candles for the occasion. This was either a blatant disregard or a lack of communication on their part. The food was great, the ambiance better, but the service was very lacking.
