| - I am giving this Restaurant four stars because even though we LOVED the food, ( each entree was a treat to the senses.) the desserts were boring. Banana Split, Rootbeer Floats. Don't get me wrong. The desserts are exactly as described on the menu however, after a wonderful meal, i was expecting something better. Somehow, (we didn't complain, it just got out), when we got back to our rooms, the restaurant manager called to express his regrets that we didn't enjoy our desserts so he took it off our bill. Is that impressive, or what? A manager that actually cares! I am spreading the news of this hotel and fabulous restaurant. We ate for a change of pace at some restaurant across the street at the Arizona Center, called "1030". Boy, was that a mistake. It just doesn't compare to the District. Same price, but not nearly the same quality of food. After four nights at the hotel, we ate at the District four times. We loved the Cobb Salad, the Salmon on the plank, the ribs cooked or marinated for 72 hours were out of this world, served with Jalapeno grits (or polenta, I forget) , my husband liked his vegetarian pumpkin curry, the very spicy fried chicken, the crab cakes were moist, not dry. I heard the huge Chicken Pot Pie was excellent but I didn't get the chance to try it. To me, this is the ONLY place to eat in downtown Phoenix. One more tip, go on Sundays when the wines are half off.
