Best Casual Restaurants in North Central Phoenix

It's sometimes a crapshoot with hotel restaurants, but we were impressed with Carcara. Had Sunday brunch -- incredibly attentive service, and the food was quite good. I'd totally come here again (and likely will); it's a great place to go before a performance at Symphony Hall or the Herberger.

Our experience was yet agree fantastic. Our child who is usually picky, ate her entire personal pizza. The mozz sticks and pepperoni pizza were excellent. The service was fast, efficient, and kind. Just an A+ experience! Def gonna be back with the family next time we are in town.

Great experience at Palma! Loveeee their happy hour. The food, drinks, vibes and service is amazing! We had Antonio as our server and he was awesome! Very personable and made our experience even better!

Culinary Drop out at The Yard is my go to place to do a casual business lunch. I can always get in and sevice is great. People seem to like th variety of the menue. Kudos!

Food was excellent. Spinach dip very good, burrata excellent and corn bread is smaller in size but enough for 4 of us to try and very tasty. Service was superb and he offered us a free burrata appetizer on the house. Salmon is superb, rotisserie chicken was excellent and our friends both had the halibut and said it was very good. Baked potatoes were excellent and the desert brownie was excellent with toffee coating and ice cream in celebration of my wife’s birthday. Our waiter was very friendly and explained the menu very well with specials and recommendations. Noise level was acceptable for a busy night. Highly recommend this restaurant. Try it.
