Formal and elegant, this is the Valley's finest high-end dining experience and the austerity of the restaurant's decor (in the Phoenician Hotel) is a perfect backdrop for dramatic city-light views of Scottsdale from every table. Choose from a seasonally changing three- or six-course prix-fixe or an à la carte menu, and indulge in modern French-inspired offerings such as fricassee of lobster or foie gras drizzled with maple syrup and 100-year-old balsamic vinegar. Desserts like the warm chocolate-soufflé tart are breathtaking. An extensive wine cellar, impeccable service, a pleasant jazz vocalist, and view-studded patio seating make this an exceptional dining experience.
