Best Date Night Restaurants in Central Phoenix

From beginning to end, our experience with Steak44 was amazing. We celebrated our 3rd anniversary here and they treated us as if we were the only couple in the whole restaurant, despite the moderate amount of noise. It all began a month prior when I was contacting the team to plan out our evening, asking for seating that could facilitate an intimate setting for my wife and I. We found out that they ended up sitting us in a booth that had a view of the kitchen! Hazel even followed through with placing rose petals on our table prior to our arrival. Made me feel like I was husband of the year planning this out lol Food was spectacular as expected, and our waiters (Nick and Giovanni) assured that our drinks were full and made recommendations for our entrees. My wife got the Scottish Salmon and I got the 45 day dry aged rib eye w/ 3 sides. Our eyes got bigger than our stomachs and we ended up taking a lot of food home, and they even comped our desert! All in all the team performed amazingly that night, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Husbands, take note: with a little bit of planning they can help you take a dinner night out into stories your wife will brag about to her friends. Thank you everyone for your help making our night unforgettable.

Still one of our favorites. Food is excellent and service is always on point. Tried the lamb skewers this time and the black garlic tahini is delicious.

We had our First Date here and it was absolutely incredible. Staff was very attentive and did their absolute best to not interrupt conversations, or kept it to a minimum when required. I selected the Miso Salmon , and my date selected the Spicy Salmon Hand rolls. We were both very impressed with the presentation and flavor of the hand rolls. The Miso Salom was cooked beautifully to the Chefs recommendations and I would absolutely get it a second time. We shared a bottle of champagne to go with the meal and our server, Jake D. made sure that our glasses never went empty until the bottle did. Noise wise, it was what you might expect from a restraunt where each table is likely celebrating for one reason or another. That is to say it was a good level for normal conversations. No need to yell or shout, but at times I could hear the gradual rise in general volume. This was our experience when we sat outside in the patio area, I may recommend an indoor reservation if you would prefer a quieter setting.

We were impressed with the wonderful service from start to finish of our delicious meal. According to our son, who is a fan of fresh fish- “The fish was cooked to perfection and is the best seafood I’ve had in Arizona”. My husband and I shared the wedge salad, 22 oz 45 day aged prime rib & we indulged in the family style sides: sautéed mushrooms, creme brûlée corn, stuffed hash browns & Mac n cheese. We had a lot of food for the 3 of us , and no regrets. We shared a bite of the key lime pie at the restaurant- which in our opinion beats the many key lime pies we have tried in Florida. We took home a coconut cream pie- it was incredible. We now have to get back on our diets after enjoying this feast. What a great experience. We would highly recommend Oceans 44.

We had a wonderful experience. The cocktails were so good and fitting for the holiday season. Our meals were excellent (chicken avocado salad and the turkey French dip). We also had the brie toast appetizer along with a side of the spicy rice. Everything was delicious. The service was very attentive but not over the top, thanks Leanna. We will dine there again.
