Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in North Central Phoenix

Food was awesome! Music was way too loud to enjoy any conversation.

Everything about our experience at Chrisopher's exceeded our expectations. One of the top 10 dining experiences of our lives (and we eat out a lot)!!!!

Excellent experience every time i come. food is delicious and cooked to perfection. service was attentive and friendly. a little loud but i was sitting outside, nothing that the restaurant can control. beautiful ambiance otherwise. loved the valentine’s day menu. coffee cake was incredible. overall great experience, no notes.

From the moment we arrived - happy hour cocktails and appetizers in the bar all throughout dinner we had a fantastic dining experience. Our bartender Justin was on point and even stopped by to check on us during dinner. Our server, Fiona was knowledgeable, super friendly, fun and took great care of us. The manager stopped by to check on us a couple of times which we appreciated. We shared the Yellowtail sashimi, and the hand rolled spicy salmon. Both were excellent. For dinner we started with the spicy tuna, followed by several sides - the short rib fried rice which everyone highly recommended and seemed to love, we found a bit boring compared to the rest of the dishes. The Roasted Mushrooms were out of this world delicious, and the Gochujang Brussel sprouts were equally impressive. My husband enjoyed the Smoky Melon (Mezcal) cocktail while I enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc wine. We can't wait to go back!

Stephen Jones and his team still know exactly how to "make it nice." I've been a fan for a while; enjoyed his food at Blue Hound, then his market stall, and at the previous location. This is the loveliest spot yet, still warm and inviting in every corner - but the best tables look into his open kitchen where you can see him direct the calm symphony of plating and service. There's a fine line to walk when you're putting together dishes at this caliber and refinement; you don't want to overshoot into fussy or tortured, and he never does. Every dish is a delight.
