Best Casual Restaurants in Central Phoenix

We were promptly seated on an indoor outdoor patio. All of the servers were attentive and friendly. The manager also checked on us a couple of times which was nice. It wasn’t intrusive. It was just a brief ‘Can I get you anything?’ which is always welcome. We ordered several appetizers, some noodles and a couple of entrées and just shared them with the table to get a taste of a bunch of different things. They did a great job at coursing out the food. The order was exactly as we had placed it. The timing was perfect and the food was very creative and delicious. The ambience is very cozy and charming. The restaurant wasn’t too loud, but it still had a good energy to it. My husband and I are debating if it is our new favorite restaurant in Phoenix. It is pretty exceptional in many ways. I highly recommend.

The food and service was excellent at the restaurant. Starters, main and desserts were all fantastic in both appearance and taste. Sitting outside was surprisingly better than indoors with the cozy fireplace and heaters ensuring a great overall experience. Definitely worth the visit. The Filet was a standout dish for me with the Key Lime Brûlée an excellent finisher to the meal.

Great experience at Palma! Loveeee their happy hour. The food, drinks, vibes and service is amazing! We had Antonio as our server and he was awesome! Very personable and made our experience even better!

We went for an anniversary dinner and it was wonderful! We were greeted and seated right away, with a window table which is our preference. The restaurant had a card with "Happy Anniversary" on our table. We tried the lamb skewers with tahini and salsa as an appetizer, the beets with ricotta as a salad course, and the grits with sausage and shrimp as our main. Everything was fresh, tasty, and lovely to look at as well as tasting great. Our server was very attentive without being intrusive. All in all we had a fantastic experience. We will be back to Beckett's Table soon.

We had a lovely dinner, with an unexpected but divine wine pairing. Our main courses were accompanied with several sides served family style, all of them delicious. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. The views of the valley are gorgeous from the dining room and the patio areas are charming and romantic. We had a magical evening. We will definitely be returning.
