Based on memories of the French wine bars that chef/owner Mark Tarbell frequented while apprenticing in Paris, this wine shop and bistro offers mostly American favorites: The wedge salad is a nice starter, as is a better-than-average spinach dip. Solid entrees include superb chili con carne; octopus tacos; and truffle comte bikinis-crustless, toasted mini sandwiches […]
The team behind the old Taylor’s Cafe has purchased Daily Bistro and transformed the space into a bright space around the corner from that other restaurant specializing in healthy eats.

Jutting out of the stucco plaza at 16th Street and Bethany Home Road since 1985, Texaz Grill is equal parts roadhouse cliche and serious steakhouse.

Rock, pop, and R&B music pulsates through the evening air every weekend at this colorful Southeast Valley eatery and nightspot adorned with bright green and pink neon lights. DJs man the decks and throw down Top 40 hits and hot rhythms on Saturdays for the benefit of those crowding The Reef’s dance floor. If you’re […]
When you’re carrying a heavy title like “Arizona’s Original Steakhouse” on your hip, you better be ready to fire it off. And that’s exactly what’s done daily at The Stockyards Restaurant and 1889 Saloon. Cattle baron Edward A. Tovrea established a packing house west of 48th Street and Van Buren in 1919, long before The […]
It’s hard to tell where the The Phoenician’s lobby ends and the Thirsty Camel Lounge begins, mostly because the view from both is so stunning. From the lounge’s terrace, visitors can see Scottsdale Waterfront, the Papago Hills, South Mountain, and even the San Tan Mountains, not to mention the thousands of palm trees that dot […]

At this self-described “resto-bar,” there’s outdoor seating on the patio, a cozy bar area with stylish mood lighting, and a sleek dining room outfitted with red leather chairs. It’s an appealing atmosphere on weekend nights, when the place is abuzz with customers. While the Latin-themed menu tries too hard, a few offerings are truly solid. […]
