Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Desert Ridge

We just had the most incredible experience at the Italian Daughter. We had a birthday celebration for my son. We had a table for 8 that included my 18 month old grandson. The waitress Karmin and the hostess Rosina were extremely professional and accommodating. The recommendations for each of our meals were spot on. The food was outstanding and the entire staff was first class. The restaurant was busy and the crew that was on tonight and didn’t seem to miss a beat with any of the guests. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be returning again soon. Thank you for a wonderful evening! 10 out 10 Bill

Wonderful Waitress. Food was delicious. My husband had the Peppercorn Steak & I had the Steak Oscar. Cooked perfectly. Many thanks to the Keg for doing the birthday special when having the App. Not many places nowadays do that. BUT YOU DO! We will be back soon because of that! Thank you!

A delightful dinner. The food was outstanding, as was the service. Definitely five stars.

Over my 60 years, I’ve visited countless steakhouses, but this one stands out as the best by far. The staff was exceptionally attentive, working seamlessly as a team to provide outstanding service. While the drinks were on the pricier side, they were generously sized and well worth it. With at least four different team members tending to us, the experience felt incredibly polished. The steaks and sides were absolutely delicious—easily some of the best we’ve ever had. This might just be the finest restaurant we’ve ever visited.

As I entered the restaurant, it was clear that the space had undergone a refreshing transformation. The ambiance felt inviting, and I was greeted warmly by your friendly staff right away. We chose to sit in the covered atrium patio, which offered a lovely atmosphere for our meal. I was particularly interested in the happy hour menu, seeking high-protein, low-carbohydrate options. While I was surprised to find that a traditional martini wasn't available during happy hour, I decided to try the Hot and Spicy Martini. Although I tend to lean towards classic cocktails, I appreciated the creativity of this offering. The manager personally came over to ensure that everything was satisfactory, which I found to be a thoughtful touch. Our server,Alexis was a real professional, beautiful smile very attentive and gave us enough time to talk and never rushed It's always comforting to know that management cares about their guests' experience. For our meal, we ordered the Ahi Tuna, the Mushroom Ravioli, Lollipop Lamb Chops, and the Shrimp Cocktail. I’m delighted to say that everything was delicious—each dish showcased the quality and flavor I have come to expect from Ocean Prime. Overall, my visit was enjoyable, and I look forward to returning soon to explore more of your menu. Thank you for a wonderful meal and an excellent dining experience! Warm
