The Wild Thaiger

Not as wild as we want it to be, but then beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to Thai food in this city. In the case of Wild Thaiger, the menu has been toned way down for American palates, which may be the cause of some disappointment if you’re a genuine devotee of Siam. […]

Wildfish Seafood Grille

At this sleek spot at the Scottsdale Waterfront, owned by executive chef John M. Carver and the same seafood pros who own Eddie V’s Edgewater Grille. Seafood doesn’t come cheap, but for freshness and preparation, it’s absolutely worth it. A lot of the dishes have a creative Asian spin, such as crispy cashew calamari, or […]

Wildflower Bread Company

All we had to hear were the words “Raspberry Lace Buttermilk Pie,” and we were out the door and on our way to our favorite bakery, which also happens to serve some of the very best breakfast and lunch food in town, bar none. In the morning, we like the Taylor Ham and Egg Sandwich, […]

Wildlife World Zoo

If we were an animal, we’d like to be pampered by the gentle folk at Wildlife World Zoo, which since 1984 has seen its collection grow to some 1,300 animals (that’s Arizona’s largest family of exotic creatures). We’re proud that the place is honored by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association as one of the […]

Wimpy’s Paradise

Popeye would gladly pony up for the old-fashioned burgers and ice cream that are this diner’s specialty. Wimpy’s takes its name from the hamburger-obsessed character in the famous Popeye the Sailor Man comic strip, and serves Chandlerites the Wimpy’s Original Burger, which comes with either a half- or third-pound patty and allows diners to choose […]

Windsor

If you’ve been to Postino – either the original in Arcadia or the wine bar’s Central Avenue location – then you have a good idea of what this latest venture from restaurateurs Craig DeMarco and Lauren Bailey has in store. With a come-hither list of craft beers, wines, and cocktails, and a menu of upscale […]

The Wine Store

Many of us were pretty bummed when Sportsman’s closed. So when Mark Tarbell decided to take over his next door neighbor’s space and reopen part of it as a wine store I let out a sigh of relief. The selection here is skewed heavily toward the domestic with an impressive collection of Oregon pinot noirs. […]

Winston’s Cigar Bar

Churchill’s Fine Cigars seeks to bring a taste of luxury to its east Phoenix strip mall locale – and it succeeds. Note the array of stately leather chairs as you walk in. But it’s hard to imagine a fine cigar without a decent drink, though, and as such the entire south wall of Winston’s, the […]
