The rotating dining room provides great views of the Phoenix.

The place has a great view and our waiter was very courteous. However my food was cold even after I sent it back to be heated up. My wife's salad was missing the beads and had very little vinaigrette dressing. My ribeye had a good flavor but him was cold as well as my broccolini which was very tough and my cream potatoes which had a good flavor I could have enjoyed had it not been cold. Our waiter Julian was very apologetic and tried to make things right and the manager came and took care of our bill. Apple pie creme brulee cream puff was delicious as was the coffee they brought to go with it. We enjoyed the view and Julian made every effort to make things right.

Service was awesome and I loved the vibe especially coming when it’s sunset! It was lovely. The food was very mid for how much you spend. I’m assuming they’re charging mostly for the experience. Spent 2 anniversaries here about 10 years apart and I still didn’t really feel like the food has improved. Dessert is incredible though!

My husband & I went there on our last night in Phoenix for a special dinner--wanted to enjoy the elegance of a exclusive restaurant. Unfortunately the only thing elegant was the ambiance of the wonderful views. We ordered the shrimp & grits-and the land & sea entrée (requested steak to be cooked medium-well).The meal was luke warm at best when it was served to us, the server took the meal back to the kitchen where they only warmed it up-making the steak too done for me.The server tried to accommodate as best he could however, I saw no need to try for a 3rd time & have them
strike out again. When the manager Michelle finally came over to address the issue she stated "I understand there was a problem with the steak-my apologies-but they are redoing it for you now-my husband told her we don't want it now and we expressed that when we sent it back the 2nd time. Michelle's comment was ok-he will take it off your check🙄My husband & I just looked at each other. We both said to one another-we know he taking it off the check because we didn't eat it. So what was the point of Manager Michelle even coming to our table? She was really useless- she offered no resolution to the problem.

Food looks and taste good. My steak, creamed potato, and shrimp came out cold. When they took it back the recooked my steak, which took it from medium to well done. Great ambiance and views, but definitely not worth the prices they changing for this experience. The land and sea came with 3 shrimps. Manager Michelle was not very useful at all.

Cool experience and great service! Loved the complimentary chocolates at the end of our meal. Food is a bit overpriced, but you’re also paying for the experience and stunning view.

Parking: The atmosphere was very nice. Service and cocktails were spectacular, but food was just fine. It's not great, but fine. Steak needed a better sear and the scallops needed a better sear as well.

This restaurant is a classic destination with breathtaking views. I feel like this restaurant has been forgotten about by Phoenicians. We stopped here for some cocktails and a light dinner. The menu had a variety of meals to choose from. I had a glass of wine and a light salad. Could there have been more variety on the menu ? Absolutely but overall five star all the way. This restaurant truly remains a beloved staple in downtown Phoenix. If you are looking for a romantic dinner date, don’t miss out on this location. The view alone should be a selling point.

We've been here about 5 times in the last 4 years. The view was always nice, being able to see the West and East Valley. Now, it's a sea of sky scrappers blocking the view to the west. What are you paying for now? With the view disappearing, the food needs to come down in price or bring more value to it from somewhere else. Looking at buildings at every turn can be done from the street at less than half the price.
Dietary restrictions: Very limited vegetarian dishes are available. If you like grilled cauliflower or a pasta, then you'll enjoy it.
Parking: Parking has also gone up the last years and a half. It used to be about $15, and now it's about $20 to $30 minimum. Phoenix rapes drivers just to park with limited meter parking available.

Had an amazing evening here celebrating our anniversary. The hostess greeted us with happy anniversary when she sat us. The food was incredible and the view was outstanding. We were treated to a special dessert for our anniversary as well. Be sure to add notes about why you’re dining, the special touches are so worth it.
