Best Date Night Restaurants in Central Phoenix

We love Steak 44! Every single worker is so friendly, we were seated right next to a wall of glass where we could watch the kitchen staff work their magic. The food was incredible in taste, and the portions were just right. We went there for an anniversary and it was a wonderful experience. The service was amazing, and we never waited long for any of our food to come out or for our check to be brought out at the end, or the for the server to run the card. Our water glasses were never even close to empty, someone was always there to refill the glasses at about half empty. We will absolutely be going back. Can't say enough positive things about Steak 44.

In my opinion the restaurant is not easy to find. If you put in "green garage" at Scottsdale Fashion Square, that will take you to the valet, when you pull into valet you will then be looking directly at the restaurants front door. There is no signage anywhere, only their elephant logo. Which I only noticed after the valet pointed it out! The decor in my opinion is underwhelming along with the staff uniforms, but I guess that's the vibe they were going for. I thought it would be a little more upscale considering the prices. Nonetheless every single person we came across was very nice, the service was excellent and the food and drinks were amazing. So at the end of the day, we both loved it and now that we know exactly where it is, we'll be back! The meatballs were our favorite, along with their signature cocktails. We also tried and pizza and whipped eggplant. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the food and drink options here, the quality is there. Enjoy!

Outstanding food, service, and general atmosphere.

We enjoy this restaurant immensely. The service is OUTSTANDING as is the food and ambience. Beautiful restaurant and everything you would expect from one of this caliber. We enjoyed a custom seafood tower with shrimp, snow crab legs, oysters, and stone crab claws. All fresh and delicious! We also enjoyed their oven roasted clams and beef tartare. Main course included waygu ribeyes, filet, A5 Japanese waygu, and more stone crab claws as they were in season. Wine list is very good and we enjoyed both white and red. Great job! We’ll be back.

Met a friend here that I have not seen in many years. We both loved this place. We got there between 5:15=5"30pm. Was quiet at first but the noise level did grow as we stayed. Other than that, the entire stay was amazing. Each staff member that took our order or brough us something was so professional and amazing. I did not get the name of our waiter but he was so nice and I loved that he said that there would be some sprinkle blue cheese on my friend's ribs. For me, as someone with lactose intolerance, I appreciated it. I had the Scottish Salmon. I would eat this over and over. I think there was a creamy polenta on the bottom and with the crispy sweet potatoes and the salmon sooooooo good. The pomegranate glaze, I just can't say enough the whole dish was awesome. Perfect portion for the dish. I can't wait to go back here.
