Downtown Phoenix Restaurants
I had not been to Alexi's in a long time. Now I realize how much I missed it. I made a reservation there for a business lunch (I was being interviewed for a magazine) because it is a quiet, classy location in central Phoenix. Being a native New Yorker, I love the authenticity of Alexi's Italian food. There are not that many places in Phoenix that know what a piccata dish is, much less how to make a great one. Add to that the intimate decor, reasonable costs, and great service, and you have an excellent spot to bring clients, business partners, out-of-towners, etc. More

Spectacular as always. This place is an incredible combination of authenticity, innovation, and execution. Incredible flavors at every turn, great service, and actually a very good value. I always look forward to my next experience here. More

If foodies are snobs, then call me a snob. After my meal at The Breadfruit and Rum Bar, you can also call me a deliriously satisfied snob. It was our 3rd date, and she loves great food perhaps even more than I do. So the bar for our mutual satisfaction was set pretty high. TB&RB cleared that bar with ease. We started with cocktails. Our waiter Isaac suggested the "Tamarind Ball II." I'm a whisky guy myself, but this is a rum place. So Isaac recommended the "Punch Bowl Special." We were each blown away by the flavors, balance and complexity of our drinks. For appetizers we chose the "Appleton Rum Sea Scallops" and the "Pepper Shrimp." The scallops were perfectly prepared. Grilled and crisp on the edges yet soft and buttery on the inside. Perfectly seasoned as well. The Pepper Shrimp was perfect and the spices were seriously hot, (which I like - a lot!) Deserving of special mention were the "fried greens" that came with the shrimp. Delicate leafs of - what? baby spinach maybe? - crisp and perfectly seasoned with salt. Paired with the shrimp, the greens elevated this already excellent dish to a whole 'nother level of awesome. For entree's, she ordered the "Jerk Pork and Polenta", I took the "Steamed Clams." Entree's of course call for new drinks. She ordered the "Kingston 5" and I had the "Johnny Appleseed." She loved the polenta and the pork was exactly was hoped for - tender, flavorful, delicious. My huge bowlful of beautiful clams were swimming in a spicy, jerk-based sauce. They were perfectly cooked, tender without veering over into chewy, yet still inhabited that spice/salt/heat world characteristic of jerk flavors. We finished the evening by sharing a mug of hot buttered rum. As awesomely good as everything else was, the hot buttered rum was the coup de gras. Rich buttery flavors, warm rum, silky texture, a mountain of freshly whipped cream. That drink was perfection. TB&RB was worth every moment and every penny. Go. Enjoy. Return. More

Creative menu. So many salsa choices. Mexican food from the southern states of Mexico, not Sonoran style. Beet/red chile enchilada sauce was delicious! Adorable, remodeled, historic red brick house. Main waitress is very knowledgeable about the menu. She may have been the owner. More

Who would have guessed that a hotel restaurant would be so very 5 star? The waiter was excellent, the table afforded lots of people watching and the food was delicious. We were pleasantly surprised to get free valet parking. The prices were as reasonable as one could expect in any downtown. We will go back when we attend our next symphony performance. More

Guacamole, queso, Sonoran dog were all amazing. The seasoning on the corn was not. Definitely recommend getting a table for better service. Trying to order a drink from the bar without a seat has been a disappointing experience on a couple occasions, but service is excellent from a table. More

My biggest complaint is a limited, but interesting menu to begin with, that found the restaurant out of several of the items that we as a group of 6 ordered. That sets a bad stage...and does not encourage a return trip. As we got there at lunch opening...there is no good reason to not have these items except poor planning. More

Discover Downtown Phoenix
Historically known for cowboy steaks cooked chuck-wagon style, Phoenix will not disappoint when it comes to steakhouses. From high-end to eclectic to family-style, you will find a restaurant that fits your tastes. If you’re looking for something more ethnic, Mexican-influenced fare is in abundance. You can find authentic Mexican dishes like empanadas and tacos or more Americanized fare like burritos and enchiladas. If these don’t strike your fancy, Phoenix’s restaurant diversity offers plentiful American, seafood, French, sushi, Thai, and Italian restaurants. If you see fry bread on the menu, give it a try! Fry bread is a deep-fried, chewy dough sometimes eaten sweet with sugar and honey, or it may be the base for Mexican-style toppings and authentic chili sauce.
