| - I came here the other week while on a business trip to Phoenix. A coworker of mine recommended it and it did not disappoint!
Our table of 4 started with a few appetizers. We had:
- organic brussels sprouts, lemon vinaigrette, pancetta
- beckett's original grilled cheese, pancetta (aka bacon), four cheeses, roasted red pepper tomato soup
- chicken meatballs & smoky tomato sauce, roasted onions, eggplant & peppers, bread crumbs
I did not try the grilled cheese (though I did try the roasted red pepper soup/dip, yumm!), but the brussel sprouts (minus pancetta, I don't eat pork) and the chicken meatballs were delicious!
For the main course, my table of 3 big guys + me was heavy on the pork. All 3 of them ordered a different pork dish (they have a lot of pork on the menu!) and I went with the beef braised short ribs. I was going to be good and get fish, but when the waiter described the short ribs I couldn't resist. They were so flavorful and so tender that I've dreamed about that dish since! Dish descriptions:
- fire roasted green chile pork stew, corn bread, cotija cheese
- pork osso buco confit grilled apple spaetzle, pepper reduction
- roasted & grilled pork chop*, griddled grit cake, braised greens
- fork tender short ribs, mashed potatoes, roasted root veggies, red wine reduction
I did not try any of the pork dishes, but reviews from my coworkers were off the charts. I would order the short ribs again in a heart beat.
The service was also exceptional. One of the most enjoyable meals I've had in Phoenix, I'd highly recommend checking out Beckett's Table!
