- ALAryanaLvipPhoenix / Arizona •72 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoBeautiful restaurant, just to start. The ambiance is lovely. The service, also excellent.! I had the scallops and my husband the burger with fries. Cooked to a perfect medium rare. My scallops were prepared beautifully, and the largest and sweetest scallops. We did start with the guacamole which would only be better if it weren't served cold; room temp would have enhanced the flavors more. Oh, and a wonderful wine and beer list. Thank you, we will return.More infoCarcaraPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown Phoenix•4.5
