Otro Cafe, an early staple of Seventh Street’s restaurant row in uptown Phoenix, serves New American dishes with heavy Mexican accents. The all-day spot is owned and operated by treasured local chef and all-around nice guy Doug Robson, also of Gallo Blanco in the Garfield District. The place has plenty going for it: a formidable […]
For the surrounding neighborhood, Oven+Vine makes a comfortable and affordable place for lunch, dinner, and drinks. The menu includes starters, salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, pastas, and a handful of specialty entrées. Not everything sees the inside of the restaurant’s brick oven, but it’s clearly the focus of the restaurant’s cuisine. The price point lends itself to […]

The blue collar crowd picks this joint as the meeting place to play darts, as evidenced by its six different […]
This restaurant is a temple to simple food in the form of a 24th Street bungalow. Or maybe it’s more of a low-key barracks: There’s a spartan rigor to the approach to ingredients. The very best and often the most obscure, commonly from Italy: olio nuovo, heirloom beans, Tuscan pecorino, high-end polenta, heady wines. There’s […]

The lobster thermidor quesadilla would make Napoleon proud, since he named the original dish. And those pork enchiladas in tomatillo sauce are the bomb, boss. Live Latin music Friday […]

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.
