| - I'm struggling between 2, 3, 4 stars... we'll see when I'm done.
Really love downtown and truly support more destinations for food, drink and entertainment. So the Sheraton opened about a year ago now. I've been to a few meetings there, and also have stopped in to District for breakfast, lunch or dinner on several occasions on my way to something else downtown.
Positives:
- Lovely architecture and wonderful art, mostly from local Arizona artists which is a huge plus. (Hint: you can ask the concierge in the lobby for their guidebook to the art; it's not perfect but it's an interesting book.)
- Very cordial, professional service.
- All the food I ate at District was expertly prepared & presented
- Everything I tried was delicious.
Negatives:
- There is nothing terribly exciting or inventive about the food on the District menu.
- The biggest negative is the price - whoo-eee. We're talking big city ("they gotta eat here because they're staying here") exhorbitant hotel restaurant prices.
I tried Sunday brunch today... just had a simple bowl of oatmeal, which came with - oddly - slivered almonds and candied orange rind cubes - which were actually quite tasty in the oatmeal. A side of potatoes - rosemary red new potatoes, grilled. Yum there too. A pot of hot tea, and then a glass of fresh squeezed OJ. How much do you think my total bill would be? I was a little taken aback by the prices - I've attached photo of the breakfast menu for your review. I got out of there for around $25 - yikes!
They have a breakfast buffet which actually looks amazing - huge! That's $15.95 and I thought it would be too much food - but if I had the ability to control myself I probably would have saved money by going that way with the brunch.
Okay overall - it's A-Ok, 3 stars. Too pricey for regular visits for me, but the type of place you can take your out of town guests to make sure they have a good meal, no penny pinching allowed!
