Vincent’s On Camelback

Once you properly adjust your expectations and assuming you don't show up at the same time that the gray hairs are partaking of their 'Early Bird'' meals you will find find out why this is one the long standing dining landmarks in Phoenix.  French food is a lot tastier and less pretentious when it has spent a little time in the Southwest.

   The 'Must Try'-  Sure the famed duck tamales are great but we are partial to the Wild Boar Loon

Frank & Albert’s

Immerse yourself in a setting inspired by Mr.Frank Lloyd Wright himself and savor some of the better Southwestern infused upscale comfort food this side of anything offered at Kai.  It truly captures the essence of its famous namesake.

The 'Must Try'-  The Rocky Point Grouper

Canyon Cafe

The former Sam's Cafe was one of the first places in town to introduce the tasty melodies that can be produced when you blend Spanish, Southwestern, and Mexican culinary traditions. Still worth the wait should you be down town.

The 'Must Try'- The Salmon Flauta

Phoenix City Grille

Great American contemporary with a twist of Phoenician southwestern flair.  One of the long standing standards that anchors the ever growing and vibrant 16th St. cooridor.


The 'Must Try'- Beef Ribs and Mashed Potatoes

Roaring Fork

This place has won several awards for its happy hour and each accolade is well deserved.  Enjoy some great discounted dishes in the company of rich mahogany and the Scottsdale "jet set". 

The 'Must Try'- Dr Pepper braised short rib...duh

Pinnacle Peak Patio

Sure its sweet spot is corporate and tourist visitors in search of an 'old west' experience but it has enough charm and a decent enough menu to justify putting on some denim and making the visit yourself.

The 'Must Try'- Go the distance with the porterhouse

The 'Must Try'- Sautéed Veal Sweetbreads with Blue Corn Meal

                                           

St. Francis

Sometimes you go to some fancy place that is all art and no substance, other times you hit the buffet line that is all food and no joy. In Phoenix no one has blended the two as tastefully as St. Francis.   The ambiance is hip without being exclusive.  The wood burning oven is superb, versatile, and its varied output will hook you and ensure return visits.
