This restaurant proves the theory that good food in Phoenix sells, no matter what the location.
Becketts Table is found in what was previously an Italian restaurant that never had a wait or what appeared to be more than two cars in the parking lot. Now, as Becketts Table, your lucky to get a reservation on Friday or Saturday and even luckier to go on a weekday and not find a line of people waiting in the rears. The interior of the restaurant has been completely renovated and it looks great. Whenever I see an open kitchen, i cant help but think it gives some credibility to the kitchen ethic.
Myself and companion started out with the chicken liver pate and the appetizer special of the night, a pork belly enchilada. Both appetizers were a real treat and something I would not generally find around my local restaurants here in Arcadia. For the entrees I had the short ribs and my companion had the chicken and dumplings. The short ribs were very tasty and by the amount of orders going out of the kitchen, I can tell its a big hit. The chicken and dumplings were a solid dish, but I think I would have liked a side of rice or some starch to go with it.
Service was right on point, environment was great and the food was extremely solid. I would recommend this place to anyone and I will be back soon to enjoy it again myself.
