Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Desert Ridge

Lobster tacos were a surprising hit for my adult kids and me! So was everything else, Scallops, Margaritas, steak, and ahi tuna. I wish we'd left room for dessert. This place is a great evening out to catch up without being assaulted by noise and hubbub. They stuck us in the corner by the kitchen, which I should've complained about, but everything else was terrific.

Perfectly prepared food and perfect service made for a perfect evening. Capital Grille always delivers.

We've dined several times for over a decade or more at the Chart House. The food has always been very consistent. (and excellent). It's our 'go to' spot for birthdays, anniversaries or just show off the valley to out of town guests. We always try to get a table by the window. The water and tiki torches are beautiful. I don't know why, but it reminds me of San Diego. The atmosphere is very nice, not too dark, or too light. The menu changes occasionally with a few twists but also has its staples. I usually order one of the salmon dishes. I like my salmon well done and it's cooked to perfection for me each time. I don't drink alcohol, so I appreciate they have a great 'mocktail' menu that I can order something special to drink besides soda pop or water. Without drinks or appetizers, our dinner tab for two is usually over $100 before tip.

I was very impressed when Ritu called me in the afternoon before our evening reservation to ask about my seating preferences. (She is one of the first to read my OT request)!! She inquired about the type of seating I would prefer in the restaurant and suggested a half booth in the lounge area. When we arrived, the seating was ideal, the service was outstanding, and the food was excellent. We especially enjoyed the linguine with clam sauce and the flaky nut tart. The ambiance is both elegant and chic, making this restaurant a great choice for an upscale date night or family celebration. Our waitress, Jeannie, was humorous, fully knowledgeable about the menu, and very attentive to our needs. We had a five-star experience and memorable night out! @toastofluxury Toastofluxury.com Hospitality Consulting and Service Training.

Oscar was our waiter tonight, and he was very nice. Great hospitality. He had good insight about the new food I wanted to try this evening, and I was glad I ordered it. His description of the flavors of the Persian ice cream was accurate, and we really enjoyed it. This was our second dining experience at the Persian room in 3 days, and we were so glad we were able to eat here again before we leave tomorrow. We will be back again next year. The food at the Persian Room is fantastic. We haven’t found a restaurant with food of a similar quality yet in Denver, so we love every opportunity to eat at the Persian Room when we are in Tempe.
