Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Desert Ridge

We were celebrating our anniversary and it couldn’t have been better. When we arrived there was an anniversary card on our table signed by everyone. We started with a crab cake and a bowl of butternut squash soup with a duck confit ravioli. Both were delicious. For the main courses I am very excited that right now Osso bucco is back on the menu. It is one of my all time favorites. There was a grouper special that was incredible. For dessert we finished with chocolate bread pudding and had dark chocolate blueberry ice cream. Fantastic and highly recommend this restaurant. It is our favorite in Phoenix.

Great dinner with superb service! We will be back again!!

A place that knows it value, the Mercado at Tia Carmen is a more than solid choice for breakfast. Its buffet style breakfast, has a not to large not to small selection of hot and cold offerings. Nothing is subpar, and many selections (like the beef, rice and yogurt) are exceptional. Only bake goods are uneven in taste. Coffee is top notch. Jams, meats, fruit and great. Omelette station available too. Service is attentive and not bothersome. Expensive but worth it.

Beautiful space, amazing staff and great food. We went on a quiet Sunday night and the food came out super fast. Everything was fantastic.

Dining at Bourbon Steak was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped inside, the impeccable service set the tone for a truly memorable evening. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, demonstrating an impressive knowledge of both the menu and the extensive wine list. The food--every bite was a revelation. The flavors were bold yet balanced, the ingredients fresh and thoughtfully combined. We had the Tomahawk Steak, creamed spinach, foie gras, horseradish mashed potatoes, Waldorf salad and each dish was executed with precision and artistry. Beignets for dessert! a decadent finale, was equally impressive. Amuse bouch was a trio of seasoned fries with respective sauces. The ambience was another highlight. The warm, inviting decor and soft lighting created an atmosphere that was both elegant and comfortable. The buzz of conversation added to the charm without feeling overwhelming. Loved the evening.
