Green Corner

Green Corner is a small, counter-service Middle Eastern restaurant situated in a somewhat drab shopping center in Mesa. What it lacks in ambiance, it makes up for in hospitality and good home cooking. Meze stalwarts like hummus, falafel, dolmas, and baba ghanoush are excellent. Entrees include a very good gyro plate – the meat is […]

Green New American Vegetarian

Some items at Green have almost universal appeal: The flatbread pizzas are tasty, as are the butterless, eggless chocolate chip cookies. But the meatball sammy and “Green” burger will only please those who’ve forgotten what beef tastes like. Basically, this is fast-food vegan, and fills a niche that needs to be filled, to judge by […]

Green New American Vegetarian

If you still think vegan food means a bunch of rabbit food, clearly you haven’t been to Green. With a full menu of burgers, pasta, rice bowls, egg rolls, and even chili fries, eating vegan never looked so naughty. The newer Phoenix location is right next door to the restaurant’s all vegan sweets shop, Nami, […]

The Greene House

Early in 2007, Greene House unveiled a new exhibition kitchen so passersby at Kierland Commons could watch the staff whip up the day’s pastries and fresh pastas. Around the same time, executive chef Michael Stebner, formerly of San Diego’s Region restaurant, revamped the menu, introducing such dishes as Dijon-crusted, slow-braised short ribs cooked with local […]

Greenwood Brewing

Greenwood Brewing, with its cheery, modern interior and cozy patios, has been a staple of Roosevelt Row since it opened in July 2020. Featuring globe pendant lights, brass and marble accents and an airy feel, it’s the antithesis of the dark, brooding, bro-centric brewery – with good reason: It’s woman-owned. Megan Greenwood, a home brewer […]

The Grill at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

You don’t have to be a golfer to enjoy this outstanding restaurant, one of the town’s best. Prime-grade steaks and fresh seafood are the primary attractions. The dry-aged porterhouse is a marvel; so is the pepper-crusted ahi tuna. Desserts are also first-rate, especially the inventive chocolate “cigar,” teamed with a white-chocolate “matchbox.”

Grimaldi’s Pizzeria

We must confess to a certain trepidation whenever our sophisticated Manhattanite friends come for a visit. To hear them tell it, everything in the Big Apple is so fabulous, it’s hard to presume that anything here can possibly measure up to their standards. So that’s why their reaction to dining at Patsy Grimaldi’s charmingly traditional […]

Ground Control

Ground Control Coffee & Wine Bar is exactly what the name implies: a home base for all things delicious in Litchfield Park. Coffeehouse by day, wine bar by night, this café on steroids serves everything from cappuccinos and signature blended drinks to cheese boards and house-made gelato. They’ll even pour a shot of Bailey’s over […]

GuacStar Kitchen & Cantina

The vast menu of plant-based Mexican dishes at GuacStar Kitchen & Cantina is a fun one, offering everything from Sinaloa ceviche to Baja pescado tacos. Chef Clinton Lomayma seems to give special care to the taquitos, one of the more consistent dishes on the menu. Packed with achiote rice, Impossible meat, mozzarella, red onions, and […]

Guanaquito

Guanaquito, a tiny Salvadoran joint in central Phoenix, serves scrumptious homemade dishes that are easy on the wallet. Don’t miss pupusas (thick corn tortillas stuffed with cheese and other goodies), served straight off the griddle, or stick-to-your-ribs entr
