I originally had planned on a much more extravagant restaurant, however, with a 15 year-old growing boy who wanted lobster tails… I opted for red lobster. What a great decision that was! The food was awesome, my FILET was so tender and tasty. I could not have asked for more and it did not bankrupt me either! Thank you, Red Lobster and all the staff for a wonderful dining experience!

Our family has always celebrated our birthdays, and major celebrations at The Capital Grille. It seems to me the quality and preparation of their steaks have changed. The tenders and ease of the cut is not there. We have been to both Capitol Grilles in Phoenix Metropolitan. I have been very disappointed. The cheese cake has always been a wonderful treat and it is still good, the crust is different, it’s hard, not flaky, anymore. The cheese cake is not rich and the texture is different. These are just my observations. The service and ambience is top notch every time. I guess that’s why we keep returning.

Fabulous dinner with a long time friend. I love the rustic feel of the Tonto bar and grill. The views are amazing our server was very friendly and attentive. We had the corn chowder which was rich and delicious. The pork was flavorful with the right amount of spice. Thank you Tonto for a lovely evening
