    Had the opportunity to take my daughter, her husband and their French foreign exchange student to dinner with my wife and I. All three are vegetarian while my wife and I are not. Everyone was able to find exceptional dishes that exceeded their expectations. This has become one of our favorite restaurants in Phoenix and its proximity to Sky Harbor makes for a great place to take folks from out of town when arriving in the late afternoon or early evening. Never disappoints

    An Unforgettable Dining Experience! Sandfish Sushi is hands down one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment we sat down, the ambiance was welcoming and sophisticated. Instead of choosing from the menu, we decided to let the chef take the lead—and wow, what a decision that was! Every dish was a masterpiece, carefully crafted with the freshest ingredients and incredible attention to detail. The chef’s selections took us on a culinary journey, introducing us to flavors and combinations we never would’ve thought to try. Each bite was a delightful surprise, and you could taste the passion and creativity behind every plate. The service was impeccable, with the staff making us feel like VIPs the entire evening. If you’re looking for more than just a meal, but an experience, Sandfish Sushi is it. I can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be coming back soon!

    Had a great time, our first experience at W&W. We ended up forgoing our dining room seating for bar seating as it is what we prefer. There, our bartender Miles took great care of us. We took him up on his suggestions of appetizers and dessert and they were awesome. Speaking of awesome, Ella the manager stopped by to see how we were doing and chatted us up for a bit, which is always fun. Overall, a great experience that we will more than likely do again when in the area.

    We had a lovely dinner, with an unexpected but divine wine pairing. Our main courses were accompanied with several sides served family style, all of them delicious. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. The views of the valley are gorgeous from the dining room and the patio areas are charming and romantic. We had a magical evening. We will definitely be returning.
