While in the Phoenix area over Christmas, it was a challenge finding a restaurant open on Christmas day. Canyon 49 Grill was one of them and we went for lunch with a party of 5.
Our server was friendly and did a pretty good job. We had to ask for refills once or twice and the food wasn't as hot as it could have been. The flatbread pizza wasn't hot, more like lukewarm, and my portabella sandwich had no flavor at all. Other than that, the other members of our party were happy with their food.
I was a little surprised with the issues considering that this restaurant is run by a university that has people studying for hotel and restaurant management. I would have thought they could have done a better job.
