- TTimVIPSan Diego •95 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoTaylor provided excellent service ; she has detailed knowledge of the food and wine options and helped us select a wonderful dinner experience. The eggplant, yellowtail, sea bass/asparagus and filet were all delicious. The filet was cooked just as requested.More infoAmbrogio15 PhoenixPrice: Expensive• Italian• Central Phoenix•4.1
- JJeffreyGreater Boston •6 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis restaurant is a real gym! They have a beautiful patio with lots of flowers, umbrellas, and space heaters for the chilly nights. We ate indoors in the adobe main building because of the morning rain storm that passed through earlier. It reminded me of many of the buildings in New Mexico, where I’m from. The furnishings and artwork inside were gorgeous. We ordered off the brunch menu and found some very creative selections. The service was outstanding and we are planning to return in about three weeks. :-)More infoLon's at The HermosaPrice: Expensive• American• Paradise Valley•4.8

- NNancyMontana •23 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoBacanora lives up to the buzz——lively, yet intimate. Casual and effortlessly cool. Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient waitstaff. Super background music that keeps the energy up but doesn’t drown conversation. And the food! We ordered elote, calabaza, and mole-crusted ribs with frijoles and cilantro salad. More than enough for the two of us, but we made room for flan. All delicious and different. And the cocktails! We had an old-fashioned-type and a classic martini-type, both with Mexican spirits. It’s worth the effort to score a reservation.More infoBacanoraPrice: Very Expensive• Mexican• West Phoenix•4.8
- EEmilyMinneapolis - St. Paul •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoWe were early for reservations and grabbed seats and the bar for a couple of drinks while we waited. Our manhattans were excellent and our table was ready within 5 minutes of our reservation. We sat near the kitchen so there was some noise, but we enjoyed the atmosphere. The restaurant is huge so there’s plenty of room to find something more intimate. The scallops were fabulous, and my husband enjoyed his grain bowl with salmon. We finished with the butter cake and practically inhaled it. 3 cocktails, two entrees and a side plus a dessert for less than $150? We will absolutely be back!More infoThe Henry - PhoenixPrice: Moderate• American• Central Phoenix•4.8
