Best Seasonal Restaurants in South Mountain

Walked in late for our reservation, the staff kindly greeted and sat us, from the entry to our dessert the experience was one of the best I’ve had in the past 15 years of downtown dinning. The attention from the staff as group in the entire restaurant was truly a testament to the culture that has been created at the Arrogant Butcher. We look forward to our next experience. Happy Holiday’s! ABOMB the artist

We chose Blue Hound for dinner before our show at the Orpheum theatre. The menu was fun and our food choices were excellent. The French dip had some special onions omit and sides of horseradish and French onion dip for a grand flavor. My wife had the lobster roll which had a very good amount of lobster nicely done. We chose the side salad and lobster Mac to share. Sara our server did a great job and was very professional. She made us feel right at home as first time diners. We needed a little help on directions and parking and Chris who was one on the supervisors was very helpful and treated us as if we were long time customers. All around great place with wonderful views of the city. We will make it one of our “go to “ places when visiting downtown Phoenix. Only mistake we made was not reading far enough in Open Table to know it was inside the Palomar Hotel so had a little trouble finding it. Once you know that , the hotel comps two hours of parking in their ramp which is good amount if time as the service and food were very timely.

My mother and I were treated like queens, not because we are important dignitaries, but because that is the business model of this establishment. We will return, without expectation, but with confidence that it will be another exceptional experience. The venison, oh my, and yes it should be paired with the Malbec. Pablo, Jo, Gilles, Manner, and the rest of the lovely ladies that so graciously greeted us: thank you.

We arrived the host assisted me up the stairs a complete gentleman. We began inside and decided we wanted to be outside. And we were accommodated, we were relocated to a lovely table. There was a beautiful and talented violinist playing, he played so wonderfully. All ambients were warm and inviting. Dinner was mouthwatering it was an amazing experience.

Great experience! And it is an experience. It's how food should be eaten imo...savoring each unique bite. They estimate 2.5-3 hours and time flew by. Beautiful setting in or out. The service was fantastic, staff was knowledgable about the dishes, the history of the farmhouse and the farm. We were offered a tour of the kitchen and I could've watched the chefs all night - it's like watching an artist. I've had Quiescence on my list to visit for several years and I am so glad we were finally able to make it happen. I for sure want to visit Morning Glory next for breakfast.
