Best Historic Restaurants in Central Phoenix

Outstanding! The food is always delicious at Christopher’s. We made reservations for the small plate dinner & we enjoyed every bite. The caviar selection is amazing, the tenderloin bites were out of the world & the wines by the glass selection is extremely nice.

When you walk through the gates you feel like you’re in Europe. We were immediately greeted upon walking in. Once seated we were quickly given menus and met our servers. They went through the menus (wine, cocktail, caviar, and the different courses) with great detail. We chose 2 cocktails and the four courses. My partner and I ordered all the courses so we could try everything. I chose the rack of lamb and he chose the surf and turf as the final course. Everything was fantastic. The dishes were cooked to perfection and packed with unique flavors. We finished off with the pear creme brûlée for dessert, which was very good, but the four course meal was definitely the star of the show. We had a wonderful evening, and we would highly recommend for a special occasion to treat yourself at Cafe Monarch.

We always enjoy the Wrigley Mansion. We maintain our membership because the service, food, and cocktails are consistently fabulous. This was our 2nd time attending the Jazz dinner at Geordie’s. The first time was a wonderful experience, this time…meh. We went for my sister’s birthday. Service was inattentive and we were rushed out at the 90 minute mark. Very disappointed that we couldn’t order dessert. Was hoping to get her a piece of cake or something to celebrate. Portion (and no cheese or basil…nothing) on the gnocchi was a bit sparse for the money. It’s unfortunate that my only negative experience at Wrigley was when I was trying to impress someone. Ah, hopefully it will be back to regular standards next time.

We joined them for Christmas lunch. Delicious food, excellent friendly service. So nice to relax and let someone else stress about the meal. My daughter commented, "I love the stress free mom for Christmas". Thank you!

Food for five persons were very good with great services and hospitality.We ate our dinner at five pm and the outdoor dining area were pretty dark as there are no ceiling lights but do have small table LED light lamps and under bench lighting. Some of us had hard hard time reading the menus with low lights but was managed somehow. We will go there again with better daylights.
