Pot Stickers galore! That’s what Kona has that we love the most. These tasty chicken and vegetable dumplings are crispy on the outside, spicy on the inside. Ditto the Sweet and Spicy Shrimp, tossed in chili sauce; and the Chicken Satay, grilled marinated chicken skewers served with creamy cabbage slaw. A full sushi bar and […]

There aren’t many white-tablecloth Southwestern restaurants quite like Lon’s, a Paradise Valley haven that delivers the total package: ruddy mountain views, a stellar bar, a broad patio sweeping out from a small brown inn accented with turquoise and, most of all, thoughtful food with deep roots in the Valley and its greater region. The menus […]
Sweeping views of South Mountain and the downtown Phoenix skyline make Lustre Rooftop Bar at Hotel Palomar one of the go-to open-air lounges for travelers and Valley locals.

The world’s largest fast food chain, McDonald’s does business on an almost unimaginably massive scale: 1.7 million employees serve nearly 60 million customers daily at more than 34,000 locations in 119 countries, including plenty in Phoenix. Founded as a single drive-in in San Bernadino, California in 1940, the mega-corporation represented by the Golden Arches has […]
We previously have made the argument that Phoenix is a bread town. A major player in our carb-heavy scene is Noble Bread. The bread can be found at Valley farmers’ markets. But there’s also an entire restaurant serving sandwiches of the same high standards. Noble Eatery, a wood-fired deli and bakery, serves midday meals on […]

Under the diverse umbrella of contemporary American cuisine, the frequently changing menu combines French, Italian, and even occasional Japanese-inspired dishes with finesse. Handmade pastas, luscious seasonal soups, and the flat iron steak are always good bets, and you won’t find fresher seafood in Phoenix. It’s no wonder this place was named a James Beard “Best […]
This beautifully remodeled Arcadia restaurant and brewhouse offers a superb craft beer list, delicious hand crafted cocktails, and two gorgeous patios to day drink an afternoon away. If you get hungry, stick with the eatery’s sandwiches and BBQ items. They make a mean burger and their brisket sandwich is one of our favorites. Check out […]
Ocotillo Restaurant & Bar occupies a nearly one-acre corner lot in central Phoenix, a stylish food and drink compound with a strikingly modern desert design and a menu of New American cuisine, which here means food with a sense of place and seasonality. But co-chefs Walter Sterling and Sacha Levine also play with a whole […]
The proprietors of the Onyx Bar & Lounge should charge admission, because their lustrous establishment boasts awe-inspiring views of both Troon Mountain and Pinnacle Peak, usually when lit by the amber rays of sunset. The radiantly rustic furnishings and décor of the cozy drinkery, located inside the opulent Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, is equally splendid, […]
The “chop” portion in the name of this fast-casual place of healthy eats in Old Town Scottsdale refers not so much to meats (although it has them), but to its handling of vegetables. Here, carrots, kale, cucumbers, and the like are pressed into juices, placed into bowls, and packed into sandwiches and wraps for a […]
After building a following at the Uptown Farmers Market, Jason and Katherine Dwight, a married chef-butcher and baker, opened a restaurant in late 2019 that is intimately driven by local farms and ranches. Reclaimed wood slabs gleam in the Central Avenue restaurant. Fitting the rustic dining room, much of the small plates and a few […]

Elegant little spot, perfect for a nosh, din-din or lunch while in the downtown area. Entrees include grilled ostrich, blue marlin with braised fennel, chicken lasagna, and so on. As far as appetizers are concerned, the crab cakes go well with a draft beer. Ditto the scallops. But what we really like to do at […]
Dining at this compact eatery occupying the easternmost suite of the historic Wagon Wheel building in the Melrose District is a real treat.

In June 2022, […]
