The Paisley Violin

Temporarily closed: Gina and Derrick Suarez’s quirky bohemian bistro is a comfortably cool spot that contains creative endeavors of every shape and size. Situated along Grand Avenue, it’s a mecca of Mediterranean and Euro-style edibles served up in an ultra-arty atmosphere accented by a constantly revolving collection of photos, paintings, and sculptures. Boutique wines such […]

Pa’La

Pa’La has long been recognized as a destination for exceptional food. But in the last few years, the small restaurant has undergone an evolution, with a new team taking over the kitchen. Thankfully, the commitment to quality food remains. Pa’La is a date night destination now, where customers can splurge on a special occasion. The […]

Palatte

Whether it’s light rail, the new ASU developments, or just business as usual, there’s a lot going on in downtown Phoenix. We’re glad to see so much happening, but sometimes we just need a break from it – a few moments of peace and quiet to recharge. Palatte is perfect for that, an oasis of […]

Pallets Food and Bar

Who wouldn’t want a place like Pallets in their neighborhood? Fresh sushi and tasty Chinese dishes like orange chicken made up for sub-par Vietnamese menu items at this hip, pan Asian restaurant/bar on Roosevelt Row. Go for the reasonably priced food, the well-chosen variety, the pleasant wait staff and relatively late hours.

Palm Court

Don’t be misled by the words “Conference Center” – you won’t find thousands of conventioneers in this elegant dining room. Palm Court offers a classic, upscale American menu, with au flamb

The Palo Verde

Stunning Southwestern-accented fare served up in this gorgeous resort’s “casual” dining room. The appetizer gold medal goes to the mixed greens topped with cornmeal-crusted pheasant. Wonderful rack of lamb, gilded with cashew mashed potatoes. Save room for the fallen chocolate brownie soufflé. A wonderful place for a special night out – and the ride through […]

Pane Bianco

Celeb chef Chris Bianco has worked his magic again, this time concentrating on a tiny menu of sandwiches and salads. Fare is takeout only, and it’s expensive, but worth it for farmers-market-fresh quality. Anything with homemade mozzarella is a marvel. Read our review.

Papago Brewing Company

When you walk through the door of this casual neighborhood brewpub, located among the many shops and eateries of Papago Plaza, you’ll be greeted by a larger-than-life-sized statue of a portly, jolly monk. If you love beer – especially beer from Belgium, where monks make the good stuff – you should take that as a […]
