“Upscale surf ’n’ turf joint wrapped in a Sonoran ranch house theme. The place does a few things right other than atmosphere: spicy house sausage made from beef, elk and buffalo; ahi nachos with Manchego cheese; and a chocolate cowboy s’more that’ll give diabetics a death wish.” - Phoenix New Times

Rokerij
6335 N 16th St (at E Maryland Ave)
Phoenix • (602) 287-8900

Beautiful stone house of a restaurant just down the street from Richardson Browne's other eatery, Richardson's. Rokerij is Dutch for “smokehouse,” but this is basically a classy chop shop with plenty of atmosphere. Dim lighting, copper-topped bars, European prints on the walls, and outstanding service make this the sort of place you'd take your boss or that wanna-be supermodel you've been chasing.

Sophie's Bistro
2320 E Osborn Rd (at N 24th St)
Phoenix • (602) 956-8897

"Parlez-vous français? It's not necessary. Sophie's menu looks intimidating, with fancy names like le carre d'agneau sauce Perrigeux and le saumon fume a ma façon, but these translate to familiar, superb specialties such as rack of lamb and smoked salmon. This charming little cottage is a rarity, where everything on the menu exceeds expectations, from a stunning croque monsieur to mouth-watering crepes."

“When youre in the mood for some serious glam, theres no place more hip than the W Hotels new Sushi Roku restaurant. Its like a little slice of Hollywood, from the ‘Japanese with a Twist’ menu (think spicy popcorn shrimp and ribeye in addition to traditional sushi and sashimi) to the chic furnishings, slick leather-topped bar and sexy water features. Order a sake flight or one of the restaurants signature Asian-influenced martinis and head up the glass stairwell to the cozy tables-for-two on the second floor, next to the hotel pool.” - Phoenix New Times

"Noca (short for 'north of Camelback') is fine-dining made fun, Noca is serious about its food, not its attitude. An open kitchen lets diners engage in the gastronomic experience, and an expert but friendly wait staff will make you feel welcome and well taken care of."
