Restaurants near Arrendondo Park

My wife, and our son and his girlfriend, had dinner at Shimogamo Chandler to celebrate our son’s first job. For the first time, we ate at a table, instead of at the sushi counter. Our server, Micah, was terrific. She clearly knew the restaurant, the menu, the food and the drinks. We started with an excellent sake, Ippongi Daiichi Gitai, that was presented by the bar manager, Matt. We ordered a huge assortment of mostly nigiri sushi; Madai (Sea Bream), Mejina (Opaleye Nigiri), Kamasu (Barracuda Nigiri), Kinmedai (Goldeneye Snapper), Aji (Jack Mackerel), Umi Masu (Ocean Trout), Hotate (Sea Scallop), Anago (Sea Eel), Ama Ebi (Sweet Shrimp), Baja Uni (Sea Urchin Sashimi), Santa Barbara Uni (Sea Urchin Gunkan). Micah had the chefs course our fish selections perfectly. After the sushi, we had the Hatcho Miso Duck, Yuzu Mushroom and Fried Shishito Peppers. For dessert, my son and I tried the Harvest in Uji and Matcha Hai cocktails. Everything we had to eat and drink was delicious. If I had known that they had Kakigori (Japanese Shave Ice) for dessert, I would have saved room for it. That’s one more reason to return for another meal, I guess.

Great hidden gem in tempe. Good food, great service. I loved the vibe there.

Mike did an AMAZING job as our server.....give that man a raise !!

I always have pistachio crusted salmon when I dine at the Keg. This is the first time that I did not enjoy my meal The salmon was not done to my liking- it was not cooked medium

This is our 2nd time at Top of the Rock for a very important business dinner meeting. Once again, we had a beautiful view as the sun was setting and truly the most delicious food! The chicken donuts and gnocchi for appetizers were amazing! Our group had salmon, fish and steak for mains and we shared the orange creme brulee, the chocolate bomb (goodness gracious!), the peanut butter tarte and the cheesecake and everything was out of this world. Our server was attentive but not intrusive and we all had the most wonderful business dinner. Thank you!
