| - Good food, Great Service, Amazing View and Ambiance
Visited for our annual family Christmas Eve Dinner. The service crew quickly impressed with their speed and attentiveness. Upon taking our seats, we were treated to a breathtaking panoramic view of Phoenix as the sun set. If you want to shoot for that experience, take a 5:00 PM reservation in late-December.
The designers of the restaurant did a wonderful job. It lends intimacy to the experience.
Dining options were worthy of the occasion-- breaded shrimp "cocktail", French Onion soup, wedge salads, steaks, fish, fresh rolls, and lava cake or red velvet cake dessert plates depending on the choices. Not a single complaint (though I couldn't finish the red velvet cake due to eating so much and its richness).
Take a moment to get some pictures of your group on the balcony and to commiserate by the fire on a cool Arizona Winter's night. Afterward, if you have kids, go downstairs for Christmas story time with Cavalier Spaniels, to take a picture with Mrs. Claus, and then listen to the professional carolers.
Self-parking is a breeze and the Phoenician's staff seems to always be exceptionally helpful and kind.
