| - taking the elevator up to the 24th floor of the hyatt regency phoenix to the compass restaurant was pretty amazing in itself! the view was spectacular.
the hostess took us to our seat, next to a window. wow!! what a view!! the floor was moving, taking us to see the different sites throughout the city. i thought it was pretty neat that whenever you'd see a plaque on the wall, you could read about what you were looking at and its history.
our server, john, was a very nice guy. he explained the menu as well as a special "restaurant week" menu they had.
my husband and i ordered from the restaurant week menu. it was a three course meal, appetizer, entree and dessert.
i had the grilled romaine salad with blue crab croutons and agave vinaigrette; it was soooooo delicious! who knew that lettuce would be so good grilled?
for our entree, we both had the petite new york with grilled shrimp and a garlic mash with peppercorn demi. the steak was cooked to perfection. i wish i could say the same for the shrimp. it was just a little undercooked.
for dessert, i ordered the signature compass fudge brownie and caramel flan. it was really, really good!! the husband ordered the sopaipillas with custard. he wasn't a big fan of the crust, but really liked the custard. john, our server, bought us the molten chocolate cake. it was just alight.
this restaurant was really nice, and i would recommend it if you're looking for something different and romantic!
