Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Downtown Phoenix

It's sometimes a crapshoot with hotel restaurants, but we were impressed with Carcara. Had Sunday brunch -- incredibly attentive service, and the food was quite good. I'd totally come here again (and likely will); it's a great place to go before a performance at Symphony Hall or the Herberger.

Had the opportunity to take my daughter, her husband and their French foreign exchange student to dinner with my wife and I. All three are vegetarian while my wife and I are not. Everyone was able to find exceptional dishes that exceeded their expectations. This has become one of our favorite restaurants in Phoenix and its proximity to Sky Harbor makes for a great place to take folks from out of town when arriving in the late afternoon or early evening. Never disappoints

Fantastic sunset views from the outdoor patio if you're able to visit when the time and temperature is right. Our November visit was 72 degrees at 5:30pm sunset, dropping down to mid 60s after. Patio heaters available for each outdoor table if desired. Great city lights views after dark. Indoor seating has great views as well. Food and craft cocktails were fantastic, service was good, prices were as expected for an upscale resort restaurant. Take a walk around the resort (whether staying there or not) before or after for some nice views. Great anniversary dinner and experience for the wife and I.

This hidden gem is definitely worth visiting. The food was amazing, the service couldn’t have been better, and the drinks were delicious. I will definitely be going back!
