Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in North Central Phoenix

Amazing Valentines Day Dinner. Got there early to explore and enjoy the views. Had two rounds of drinks at the wine bar and then got the most amazing table with views for dinner. 4 course menu delicious and the somm helped us get an awesome bottle of Chianti.

Incredible meal. Had tapas style veggies and ribs. Amazing!!!! Great drink selection and love the ambiance. Will be back!

This restaurant is a real gym! They have a beautiful patio with lots of flowers, umbrellas, and space heaters for the chilly nights. We ate indoors in the adobe main building because of the morning rain storm that passed through earlier. It reminded me of many of the buildings in New Mexico, where I’m from. The furnishings and artwork inside were gorgeous. We ordered off the brunch menu and found some very creative selections. The service was outstanding and we are planning to return in about three weeks. :-)

We love Steak 44! The service, attention to details and the food are impeccable! We treated ourselves to an early Valentine’s dinner last night. Hannah our original server heard me say something about the noise and graciously offered us another table. We were sitting next to large tables that were having a great time. It was so kind of her to take care of us. Jamel was our server at the second location and he was also so professional and engaging. Our food was delicious! We started off with the cone caviar. Perfect. Then Boo had the caesar and got the wedge. Both so tasty. Then we both ordered the bone-in filet. I explained how I wanted charred hot pink and Boo wanted red. We were both delighted on how perfect our steaks were. I also got the truffle butter lobster topping. OMG! Divine. Our dirty martinis were fantastic as was the espresso martini. Boo got an awesome dessert with ice cream and caramel and cake. Everything was great! Thanks 44 you never disappoint!!

General consensus from the party were outstanding. Appetizers were next level which included the bone marrow, bluefin tartare and the king crab stuff oysters. It really set the tone for the rest of the mains. Service was great from the staff and kept the tables clear and drinks full. The only exception to the meal was some of the mains. Over cooked and undercooked steaks that appeared to have been sitting for some time. Coming from a place where we have world class steak, the inconstancy we experienced was disappointing given the prices charged and what precluded this portion of the meal which many raves about. Overall pleasure and happy to recommend.
