Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Tempe

We went there for my wife’s birthday. They were super busy with the holiday crowd. Service was a little slow but without us complaining or saying anything one of their managers jumped in and made things happen, then came back over to our table and apologized. Super impressive customer service.

My sons and I picked the Phoenician steakhouse because when I’m in town, I always take my boys to a steakhouse. We arrived a few minutes early and we set a seat within five minutes.. Jeffrey our waiter and Chris, his assistant or excellent throughout the evening. there was a delay with getting our food because of a large party which was fine. Jeffrey explained it to us now the good part my one Son and myself ordered the 24 ounce porterhouse cooked medium. It was absolutely fantastic tender juicy cooked perfectly we had cream spinach, mashed potatoes and mac & cheese, which were all fantastic. The mac & cheese came out super hot and the taste was perfect. My son wanted calamari as an appetizer which I thought was OK. The cocktail shrimp were good not great but good. It’s the main course at the Phoenician that it’s fantastic. I have to tell you the food was . The sites at the Phoenician were very reasonable. I believe the queen span was $12 as was the mac & cheese and potatoes. That’s a bargain no desert for us just a decaf cappuccino, which was very good. the ambience is nice with seats pretty far apart from other people it’s not that loud in the restaurant, a wonderful view of Scottsdale from the windows. Jeffrey and Chris made sure that our needs met well done Phoenician

I LOVE this restaurant. I don't go very often but when I do, the service is always excellent, the selection of bourbons (as the name implies) is truly impressive, the steaks are done perfectly and are tender and flavorful.

I personally think they should turn down the music so it's easier to visit over dinner. It was too loud. Also bring your flashlight to read the menu! The food, drinks and service were exquisite and one of my all-time favorite dining spots!

Since our last visit nearly a year ago, Anhelo has changed from a simple dinner menu to a course-based approach. We quite like this approach but while it gives many choices, it is also a bit limiting for the table because everyone is required to select the same course. Granted, there are numerous choices and add-ins but I'm sure it helps simplify things for the kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience with Anhelo. The petite course is definitely a lot of food when you consider the bread serving and the formage we added to our dining experience. I wouldn't skip the wine pairing either - they have a tremendous cellar and they paired well with each course. The staff is amazingly coordinated and synchronized throughout the night. Can't say enough about the service and professionalism of everyone. We'll be back!
