Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Downtown Phoenix

Amazing! Definitely worth a stop! Amazing food, great service, good music, and awesome people! We sat upstairs in the lounge with a live Jazz band. The staff was amazing, and our waiter was amazing!

Love the creative healthy food choices, fun cocktails too.

The food was very good. Dessert was awesome. Service was great. A little noisy and the wine list could be larger. Of what choices there were, they were good.

Delicious, unique food that we enjoyed. The music and ambience were great.

Been a fan of the chef since he graced the Phoenix area with his talents many years ago, and as such have seen him work within the constraints of everything from executing a four star hotel restaurant menu, doing food court style low country comfort food noshed off of bar stools, to his own open kitchens done his own way. I've seen him launch careers by nurturing local talent, providing space for pop-up dinners and guiding them through a service. Consistently, every time I've had the pleasure, there's always been a dish served that drops an involuntary hush over the table when tasted; it's usually something humble, a braised vegetable and rice or similar, but elevated, such that even if you're not a gourmand, you know you've just had something in its best possible form. That's just a small part of what he means, I think, when he says "make it nice." So I'm always a little floored by one of his meals, and specifically in this space I'm also grateful for the ease of service and how everyone you encounter is finely attuned to your comfort. If you're looking for culinary skill, inventiveness, and gracious hospitality, you've got it all here.
