Best Restaurants for People Watching in Central Phoenix

I had a little bit of an issue with my first experience there on January 24 for my wife’s birthday. I called back and spoke to Amber Who said she would accommodate me on my new reservations for Valentines. Me and my wife showed up a little early and she sat us right away. We got our rooftop table and the experience was great. Food was very good and Jacob our server was very busy but always kept us updated on Our food and Was very helpful with the menu. Had a great time will return again. Thank you Amber up at the roof top check In desk your the bomb I really appreciate your assistance and great service they might want to Consider cloning you and replacing another person like you at their bottom check in desk🤔😂 Thanks again for making my trip up from Casa Grande and spending a nice dinner with my wife a memorable one!

Excellent food, fantastic service, beautiful ambience… ONLY complaint is that the servings sizes were SO SMALL that my husband and I had to order two entrees plus an app to have enough to eat. (And we don’t eat a lot, we’re not large people) Our server actually recommended that we did and we’re happy we ordered more. So because of the multiple entrees plus an app the bill was naturally higher than it could have been so I don’t believe the value was great.

My girlfriends and I went for a Valentine’s lunch and we all loved it. Been here numerous times and always have a great experience. The wait staff is always. So sweet and friendly. The food is beautiful and tasty. The place is beautiful and hopping.

The Ends is an incredible restaurant. I love that they don’t use any seed oils and instead focus on cooking with tallow. The food is amazing, and I think their pasta is better than any Italian restaurant here in the Valley. I know everyone says this, but the Cacio e Pepe is definitely something to write home about. It’s really, really good. Almost equivalent to the one I had at Osteria Da Fortunata in Rome. The thick noodles and sauce are very similar. Absolutely delicious. We also had the mushroom pasta, meatballs, Hamachi crudo, and beet burrata. All excellent. The only downside was that they were out of multiple dishes, which was a bit disappointing. However, they made it up to us by giving us a $45 gift card, which we appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

We shared the kale ceaser salad, chimichurri steak, and the veggies enchilada for date night. Everything was great. We also coveted our neighbors' truffle flat bread. We'll be back for that for sure. Limited wine menu, however, didn't disappoint. Nice casual evening
