Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in North Central Phoenix

I received a card for my birthday and decided to try it. SO GLAD I DID! It was excellent! The atmosphere is some of the best in the valley. The drinks were fantastic, the food was beautiful presented and tasted amazing. They also have a beautiful bar and patio area. It’s a scratch kitchen so be prepared to have a nice, leisurely meal. Definitely go. You won’t be sorry.

I have been here in the past in the evening and it was such a wonderful experience that I thought I would try their brunch. Such an elegant atmosphere on the patio with top notch service from the staff. We had a phenomenal waitress named Sasha who made our experience amazing. She took lovely pictures of my daughter and I. The food was delicious and incredibly tasty. I highly recommend this stunning experience. Also, gratitude to the chef who provided a complimentary appetizer.

From beginning to end, our experience with Steak44 was amazing. We celebrated our 3rd anniversary here and they treated us as if we were the only couple in the whole restaurant, despite the moderate amount of noise. It all began a month prior when I was contacting the team to plan out our evening, asking for seating that could facilitate an intimate setting for my wife and I. We found out that they ended up sitting us in a booth that had a view of the kitchen! Hazel even followed through with placing rose petals on our table prior to our arrival. Made me feel like I was husband of the year planning this out lol Food was spectacular as expected, and our waiters (Nick and Giovanni) assured that our drinks were full and made recommendations for our entrees. My wife got the Scottish Salmon and I got the 45 day dry aged rib eye w/ 3 sides. Our eyes got bigger than our stomachs and we ended up taking a lot of food home, and they even comped our desert! All in all the team performed amazingly that night, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Husbands, take note: with a little bit of planning they can help you take a dinner night out into stories your wife will brag about to her friends. Thank you everyone for your help making our night unforgettable.

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.

Moderate noise level was only because we chose to sit outside, but it’s not loud. Inside was much less, even though very busy already…overall great restaurant. Had never been. My wife actually said the salad / meal (salmon, kale, etc) might be the best salad she’d ever had,which is a rare thing to hear. And to top it off, they seem like nice people…;)
