About the restaurant

Comfortably located next to Tarbell's, The Wine Bar (Tavern) follows in its footsteps with good food, good drink, and good people. Iron Chef winner Mark Tarbell helms this new-american venture, serving both quality interpretations of classic dishes and daring new ventures into the uncharted territories of bar food. Connected with Mark's third venue, The Wine Store, The Wine Bar has the unique addition of a "Walk In Wine List", where retail wines can be selected from the store and enjoyed at the Wine Bar with your meal.

About the restaurant

Beckett's Table is an irresistible hangout for Arcadia/Biltmore neighbors by Chef Justin Beckett for people who expect comfort and sophistication in equal measure and get it here,

The menu, which emphasizes Seasonal American Cooking in dishes such as our Original Four Cheese Grilled Cheese with roasted Tomato soup, the Pork Osso Buco Confit , Herb-Rubbed Roasted Half Chicken, or Fork Tender Short Ribs. Our house-made desserts of creme brulee, award winning Fig & Pecan Pie with citrus cheese ice cream, and the delectable Chocolate-Dipped Bacon S'mores.

For over a decade, our international Wine Spectator Award winning wine list has been serving carefully curated selections from all over the globe, as well as wines close to home in Arizona. Factor in the inviting bar highlighting hand-crafted cocktails, bourbons and scotches, the roomy and lush garden patio and our busy guest-filled black walnut community table...it's easy to embrace the Beckett's Table mantra: Come Together.

We sat at the beautiful curved bar and were “taken care” of by our bartendress. She guided us through the menu and our meals were a broad selection from the offerings and were OUTSTANDING. Shishito peppers, calamari, hamachi, George’s Bank Scallops and the Risotto and Wagyu Beef tips…a delicious and memorable dining experience! Thank you! Angus

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…;)

About the restaurant

Grilled steaks and chops cooked over pecan wood fires, fresh fish, daily blackboard specials, small plate appetizers and an extensive wine by the glass selection. Dimly lit with eclectic music, sit at the upstairs bar and watch your food being prepared, dine in our over-sized booths or make your way downstairs and hang at the cellar bar. The Rokerij is truly a feast for your senses. Reservations are for parties of four or more.

We love this place! Been coming here for years. Moved out of town and wanted to meet up with our friends that also moved away. We thought this would be a perfect place. It was! One critic; Miss the old Rokerij menu. Where is the salmon? Brussels sprouts? Menu really changed to be Richardsons 2.0 :( We will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Season’s 52 is always top notch and this time was no exception. Staff is great - greeter was friendly and server was friendly & efficient. Food was excellent and I love to have a little dessert without feeling guilty! Will definitely be back.

About the restaurant

The Uptown go-to (or to-go, if that's your fancy). Brimming with quality seafood, pristine cuts of meat, and fresh vegetables done just right, The Neighborly is the elevated neighborhood spot you've been looking for. Slide into a rich, tufted leather booth, or grab a seat at our bustling bar, either way the drinks are cold and the food just right.

We are now open for Brunch on Saturdays & Sundays from 9:30am-2pm!
