Best Restaurants for Foodies in Downtown Phoenix

I’ve been here a few times, and have always felt it was alright, nothing great. This time I was pleasantly surprised. The chips and 3 salsas were good, and everyone got the carne asada. This is a grilled rib eye delivered in a mesquite smoke dome. It was really good! I will definitely be coming back!

Our server Miranda was great! My husband and I both had the holiday spiced pear old fashioned which was perfect. Our table of 3 had the pretzel bites - super yummy. Pretzels were soft and fresh and the fondue flavorful and creamy. Meatloaf, Prime rib french dip and Kobe burger, all delicious. Some people might say the service is a bit slow at times but I don’t like to be rushed through a dinner out so I liked the pace.

First time visiting the restaurant and found the food to be authentic and refreshing. The staff was very welcoming and helpful throughout the service. Worth coming back and bring others to enjoy the overall experience.

Such a festive outdoor setting with wonderful food and drinks. We started with drinks at Sidecar and then moved over to the beer garden tables outside for dinner. It was great for our larger group of 7. We love the whole experience.

What a fabulous restaurant! Dahlia Tapas is an absolute gem in Phoenix, and our recent dining experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we stepped in, we were charmed by the warm ambiance and inviting atmosphere. The real magic, however, began when we entrusted our server, Reyna, to take us on a culinary journey through the menu—and WOW, did she ever deliver! Her knowledge of the dishes was impeccable, and her passion for the menu shone through in every recommendation. It’s clear that Dahlia Tapas isn’t just about serving food; it’s about creating an experience. The chef and culinary team behind the dishes deserve a standing ovation. Each tapas plate was a masterpiece, showcasing incredible flavor combinations and flawless execution. The creativity and attention to detail made every bite a delight, leaving us excited for the next dish. This is the kind of restaurant where you can tell that both the staff and chefs truly care about the food they present and the experience they offer. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Phoenix, Dahlia Tapas is an absolute must-visit. We can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
