| - Okay, so when I went to Phoenix on business I asked the local yelpers what were the top places I had to go, and although I only got to go to two of the restaurants they suggested I'm so glad that FEZ made the cut.
My co-workers and I had an incredible experience with Brandon, our waiter, who was so cute and fun and answered all of our questions as we tried to choose what to have on this amazing menu. I also got to talk to Thomas (the owner) who was so funny and friendly! I love it when I get to meet the person behind the restaurant, and I can see that his positive personality comes through in the decor and the food!
We got there early (around 4:00) and started out with some happy hour drinks. They had half-off margaritas, and I can truly say that the Pomegranate Margarita has spoiled me and I have to find something similar in Dallas, it was the perfect drink, sweet but not sugary, and STRONG. My co-worker tried the Tart Apple Margarita, and it was okay, but the pomegranate was AMAZING! And for $3.50 you can bet I signed up for several of them! Haha.
Since we weren't very hungry when we first got there we started with some appetizers. We grabbed the garlic & rosemary fries and an order of the chicken phyllo packets. The fries are incredible, and there are a surprisingly large amount in the basket. When it first arrived we didn't think it would be enough for three people to share, but everytime we looked down there just seemed to be MORE fries. That = awesome. The chicken phyllo packets were pretty good, not amazing, but a good starter.
To get down to the entrees, I am so glad I tried the FEZ burger. Although many of the dishes looked good, I'm always tempted to try any dish that a restaurant is willing to put their name on. I skipped the BBQ sauce and put it on the side (I did try it with a few bites, and it was good, but it would have overpowered the burger). I had never tried a burger with pears on it, and it was SO good, it added something smooth to the burger which cut the bite of the salty feta in the right way. The lemon garlic aioli was light but added so much flavor to the burger and coupling that with the sweet crisp of the onion strings, I was SINGING the praises of this burger after dinner (and when I had my leftovers because it was a BIG burger).
I always say you know the food is good when the table is silent, and so I'll end this review by saying that for a business dinner, we didn't talk about much at all. Thank you Phoenix, and thank you FEZ!
