Best Seafood Restaurants in North Central Phoenix

In a dessert of chicken wings and ranch… The food at Tarbell’s is like a vacation back home to NYC where cuisine is an art and a passion. Unlike anything else in this city. The menu changes but I can confidently pick anything and know I will love it. Warning: The Hostesses will not honor the 15 minute grace period that is noted on OT. I called to inform them I was 15 minutes behind to be told I was being pushed onto the waitlist to seat those who are on time. This behavior does not match the warm service and atmosphere of this establishment. I was 17 minutes late and she wanted to let me know that I was “passed the grace period” which she told me she wasn’t honoring anyway. I will return and hope to have a better experience with the host staff so that I can say everything was perfect!

Celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary here, just like our past anniversaries. I will never celebrate anywhere else for as long as Christo’s is around. Our reserved table was already prepped and ready for as soon as we arrived, and they remembered that our note about it being our wedding anniversary because they put rose petals on the table and wished us a very happy anniversary! Christo’s makes us feel like family. Our server was Cat, who we loved very much and she makes the best Shirley temples. Although it was a very busy night (not only was it Saturday, it was also Valentine’s weekend), the staff and our server Cat were very attentive. We got our drinks, table bread and soup right away. My husband and I love Saturdays because of the Greek soup. It’s the best soup I’ve ever had! For our entrees I had the chicken limone and my husband had the veal Parmesan. Dinner was fantastic and authentically Italian. We especially love Christo’s because the food is very reasonably priced for everything that’s included; each entree comes with table bread, soup and a hearty sized salad. For our anniversary, we were surprised with two slices of cake that were just amazing. It was the perfect touch to end the night. My husband and I almost forgot to have our picture taken until Cat suggested we take a photo. We love that Christo’s makes us feel like family and we will always choose to celebrate our anniversary here. We look forward to the next time!

Blue Water Grille is a fantastic restaurant designed to satisfy your desire for a great meal at a reasonable price. We made reservations for Valentine Day and from checkin to a gracious thank you on leaving, had a great time. Our server was attentive and made the meal all the more enjoyable. If you have visiting guests and want to take them out for a great meal, the Blue Water Grille is a great place to dine. If the Blue Water Grille ever want's to expand, I hope the owners will consider Goodyear for the next place to build one of their fine restaurants. Thank You for your fine meals and staff over the many years I have lived in Arizona.

Well at first did not start good as Host/ Hostess tried to sit us in back room in a secluded dining area which has no ambience and although gave you a raving review last time because our waiter was so good, this was the second time this seating was an issue! Had we not already had a reservation I could possibly understand but it is a horrible atmosphere back in that room!!! Treat regular guests with dine dignity would be my suggestion. I did not rate the service excellent because of poor service but based on the fact our waiter was having to bartend and wait our table is allot to ask of your staff. It was exceptionally busy night since many were celebrating Valentines Day early so staff accordingly, please! Food was great, as always to date! Better planning for volume of business should be executed based on number of reservations and a well celebrated holiday for couples. We’ll be back just listen to your audience better and plan staff wise more effectively…

Always a pleasure to dine with "L'Amore". Gregg and Michelle are tremendous hosts and of course, the environment provided is always outstanding which is complimented by an extremely professional staff serving the finest Italian cuisine...I cannot recommend L'Amore more for your social or professional gatherings..It's just that good!!...And I promise you will have a never to be forgotten experience there....
