Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Central Phoenix

Great view, lovely service, amazing food - looking forward to coming back

Expertly curated dishes and wine pairings. Highly recommended! The view from the restaurant was the beautiful lights of Phoenix. Really enjoyed every part of the evening :)

Lobster tempura, rock shrimp, warm mushroom salad, and yellowtail sashimi were amazing. The sushi was well above average. The atmosphere was great, the servers (even those passing by) were phenomenal. The one sticky point: The Nobo-rita is a very good drink but $65 is double its value. Overall, I'll be back and I'll bring others.

We have been to Cafe Monarch once a year for the past few years for a special night. It never disappoints. The setting, both inside and out, are subtly elegant, the service is knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive, and the food is fabulous, creative and an experience. Now it is definitely not cheap but we continue to go back because it is such a wonderful and special dining experience. My wife and I are gluten free due to intolerances but they were able to accommodate all of our choices. We certainly couldn't go there regularly but, for a special night out, I don't think it could be beat.

“One bite transported back to Rome!” My friend told me about this place and urged me to visit and compare with my recent trip to Italy. I am so glad I listened! I ordered the Carbonara, the Bucatini was perfectly cooked and the Guanciale was a great addition to balance out the entire dish (ok I’m getting hungry again), my friend had a spaghetti with red sauce she said had the perfect amount of sauce the was so flavorful. We enjoyed a bottle of Amarone and great conversations with the bartender JP and GM Steph. This place is so welcoming we will be back to try the pizza, that the table behind us was raving about!
