Our first time here. What a great experience! From the time we walked into the door, throughout dinner, and as we left. Service was top notch. We will definitely be back, and will tell family and friends come enjoy the amazing ambience and wonderful food!

About the restaurant
Located in the thriving area of Phoenix's Roosevelt Row, Rough Rider offers a Modern American menu accompanied by unique cocktails inspired by recipes of the late 1800's. Venture down our private elevator and be transported back in time to a presidential lounge filled with delectable dishes and unforgettable libations fit for Teddy himself.
Enter the lobby through the glass doors located in the alley to the northeast and down the middle elevator to the basement.

The food was very good and I loved all the specialty cocktails! I felt like the atmosphere was really cool with the 1920s speakeasy feel to it, but I felt like the pictures were different than how it looked in person. Maybe a little more rustic in person and a little more elegant in the pictures.

Beckett's Table is an irresistible hangout for Arcadia/Biltmore neighbors by Chef Justin Beckett for people who expect comfort and sophistication in equal measure and get it here,

The menu, which emphasizes Seasonal American Cooking in dishes such as our Original Four Cheese Grilled Cheese with roasted Tomato soup, the Pork Osso Buco Confit , Herb-Rubbed Roasted Half Chicken, or Fork Tender Short Ribs. Our house-made desserts of creme brulee, award winning Fig & Pecan Pie with citrus cheese ice cream, and the delectable Chocolate-Dipped Bacon S'mores.

For over a decade, our international Wine Spectator Award winning wine list has been serving carefully curated selections from all over the globe, as well as wines close to home in Arizona. Factor in the inviting bar highlighting hand-crafted cocktails, bourbons and scotches, the roomy and lush garden patio and our busy guest-filled black walnut community table...it's easy to embrace the Beckett's Table mantra: Come Together.

About the restaurant
Nothing else can quite satisfy cravings for comfort food quite like the offbeat combination of house-made pizza and tender, juicy rotisserie chicken. Sip on inventive craft cocktails with fresh juices and homemade ingredients alongside local beers and a menu of wines to pair with every delicious bite. Our dishes are sure to indulge the most flavorful of appetites. Come in and find your flavor!

The pot pie is a culinary work of art! The service was excellent.

The host/hostess stand never quite matches the high quality of the service, food and ambiance. Maybe like being greeted at an Applebee’s or Chili’s. I don’t frequent those spots, but it seems like that would be an equivalent level of hosting.

The smoked pineapple margarita might be the best I’ve ever had. Atmosphere was perfect for a bday celebration and food was really good.

About the restaurant
The Uptown go-to (or to-go, if that's your fancy). Brimming with quality seafood, pristine cuts of meat, and fresh vegetables done just right, The Neighborly is the elevated neighborhood spot you've been looking for. Slide into a rich, tufted leather booth, or grab a seat at our bustling bar, either way the drinks are cold and the food just right.

We are now open for Brunch on Saturdays & Sundays from 9:30am-2pm!

Anther great meal at The Genuine. Six of us went on a Sunday afternoon after we'd been wine tasting nearby. The food was great, we loved chatting with our server, and the Chef who was nearby our table. The football game was on. Great time!!

About the restaurant
At Culinary Dropout, raise your glass to friends coming together. A place where food and music are life. Join us at happy hour for ice cold beer and our famous soft pretzels with provolone fondue. At dinner, a signature cocktail and slow braised 36-hour pork ribs are a perfect pair. While you and your crew enjoy damn good food and drinks, a local band plays live for great vibes. Come hang out and stay a while.

About the restaurant
Grilled steaks and chops cooked over pecan wood fires, fresh fish, daily blackboard specials, small plate appetizers and an extensive wine by the glass selection. Dimly lit with eclectic music, sit at the upstairs bar and watch your food being prepared, dine in our over-sized booths or make your way downstairs and hang at the cellar bar. The Rokerij is truly a feast for your senses. Reservations are for parties of four or more.
