Best American Restaurants in Phoenix

Every aspect of our dining experience was terrific. Welcomed by name at the host station (okay, 7 of us so we stood out). Seated promptly (Valentine's Day). Staff was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. The decor is warm and inviting. As requested, our party was seated indoors. Acoustics are good for a relatively small dining room. Started with adult beverages that were spot on. All around we felt welcomed and not rushed. The food arrived plated beautifully and from all reports, tasted fantastic. Overall, a great dining experience. When visiting Medford again (we live in Phoenix AZ) we will DEFINITELY visit Decant again. A top tier dining experience all around. Thank you!

We had a wonderful evening at Alchemy. The Steak Tartare was our starter. Classic presentation with bursting flavors. My lover had Filet Mignon, while I ordered the Beef Wellington. Our server was whity , courteous and prompt. He suggested pairing from the wine list for her and spirits for myself. While existing we made small talk with a gentleman that we turned out to be the owner. He was charming, kind and humble. We loved this evening and look forward to our next visit.

Our server, Lola was excellent and very friendly, as well as everyone who cared for our table. Food was wonderful and we enjoyed it very much. We were sad that the piano player left so early, it made it feel elegant, but we understand it was late.

We decided to do an early valentines dinner to avoid the day of chaos. We haven’t been since the change in ownership. It looks beautiful. It took a couple of minutes to be acknowledged, but it was clear they were busy, so not a big deal. We were given an option of where to sit, which was nice. We think it was one of the owners who ended up taking our orders for wine and food. She was delightful and helpful. We ordered the wild mushroom risotto and the chicken with a honey-lavender glaze. The risotto was delicious, but I’ve got to tell you, that chicken was perfection. I typically like to order unusual dishes because what’s the point of eating out if I’m not going to try something I’d never make myself? Chicken is not usually exciting. It’s safe and pretty easy, but this seriously catapulted it into a symphony in my mouth status. I also deeply appreciate that they make everything as it’s ordered. It takes a little time to get it, but it’s very much the way this sort of dining experience should be. If you’re looking for a quick in and out meal, this is not the place. If you’re looking for a lovely, leisurely meal that gives you time to fully savor your company, the atmosphere, yummy wine and incredible food, this is the place.

Food was fantastic with all the classics. You could tell they used good batter and oil was fresh for the fried pickles. Bangers and Mash, Meatloaf, and Grilled cheese were all great comfort food. We topped it off with a yummy black and tan brownie. Staff made sure we had everything we needed. Atmosphere is just what you expect of Irish pub and we had a blast.
