Phoenix, the capital city of the US state of Arizona is a year-round warm city making it the perfect city to step out for a hearty brunch. Phoenix food scene is filled with fine-dine restaurants that are perfect for a romantic night.
Here is a list of the five top restaurants in Phoenix that are perfect for a date night with your partner.
1. Different Pointe of View
This elegant American joint features beautiful views of the valley making it perfect for a romantic night. Different Pointe of View is located at Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort at 11111 N 7th St. It is recommended to always reserve your spot early as there can be a long wait for walk-ins.
Filet mignon is an item that never disappoints me. It is very nice and tender. Roasted Pork Belly Parmesan Risotto is also one of my personal favorites. This place has so many great options that I bet you will have a hard time choosing what exactly to order.
2. T. Cook's
Situated in Royal Palms Resort & Spa eatery, this American eatery features a candle-lit dining room, two outdoor patios, and a wine tasting room. You can sit with your partner in front of the fireplace and eat some of the best food that Phoenix has to offer. The serene environment makes for a perfect date setting.
Roasted Bone Marrow & Escargot is something I have enjoyed in the past but for quite some time, Charred Spanish Octopus has been my favorite. Leave some room for dessert as you would love to try their Vegan Chocolate Mousse Tart or Fresh Strawberry & Kiwi Tart. I must give credit to the chefs here, their tarts are buttery, crispy, moist, and melts in your mouth.
3. The Melting Pot
Located in Mountain Park Pavilion, this eatery has definitely contributed to my weight gain. You can order cheese fondue which is served with artisan pieces of bread and seasonal fruit and veggies. They also offer a vegan version of the cheese fondue.
Quattro Formaggio which mainly contains Butterkäse, Fontina, Fresh Mozzarella, Parmesan, White Wine, Roasted Garlic, Basil & Sun-Dried Tomato Pestos is my go-to option to eat here. They also offer gluten-free choices. I would suggest informing your server about your dietary restrictions as this place will customize their food for you if it is possible. I can assure you that you and your date will step out satisfied from this classic joint.
4. Rusconi's American Kitchen
Located in Paradise Village Gateway, critics define this place as a perfect place to try wood-fired American dishes served in a chic, contemporary setting. Braised beef short ribs are a tender and moist choice to order at this place. Grilled sustainable salmon is another great choice to order her as it is something I have ordered every time we have visited this eatery. If you are looking for something casual, they also have an exhausting brunch menu for Saturday and Sunday 10-2 and offer dine-in and take-out.
5. Steak 44
Want to play safe on a date, Steak 44 is the perfect wine and dine option. Located in Camelback Village Center, this place is a posh and elegant steakhouse. This eatery features USDA Prime Grade Beef and fresh seafood. They also feature a 3,000-bottle wine vault which you will witness when you are walking towards the fine dining area.
This joint is on the pricier side of the options, but it is one of the best in the city. Steak Farina which is primarily bone-in filet with an egg is my go-to option to order here. This place also confirms to be mindful of their steak farming and the steak is responsibly farmed and wet-aged for 28 days.
Steak 44 also features exhausting options for cocktails, and it is difficult to choose one out of the available choices. My personal favorite is Strawberry Rhubarb which features Wheatley vodka, strawberries, rhubarb, fresh lemon, and prosecco.
