Best Organic Food Restaurants in West Phoenix

It's sometimes a crapshoot with hotel restaurants, but we were impressed with Carcara. Had Sunday brunch -- incredibly attentive service, and the food was quite good. I'd totally come here again (and likely will); it's a great place to go before a performance at Symphony Hall or the Herberger.

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

KEEP THE GNOCCI ON THE MENU! The gnocci dish with the bone marrow was unbelievable. We’ve traveled the world and this was a dish that stopped our conversation in its tracks as all we could do was focus on those spectacular flavors swirling around our taste buds. Please for the love of all that’s holy keep it on the menu. Also the beef tartare was amazing! It had a very unique lightness and almost citrusy tone that complimented the beef. The bread was amazing, unique color of course, but it had the perfect texture and density for the tartare. Only downside of the evening was the shrimp we got was overcooked, but still delicious. We will be coming back with friends 100%, but keep that gnocci on the menu! P.S. Have to give the front of house staff some love. They were so on top of their game for a packed house. Friendly, kept our water full always, knew the menu inside out, and the little detail of folding my wife’s napkin while she was in the restroom was beautiful. The beauty is in the details.

As a frequent diner at Tarbell's, I can say that it is consistently outstanding. Unlike other top restaurants in Phoenix, Tarbell's menu changes frequently, and the new additions are always amazing. Last night, I had a lobster salad that I had not seen on the menu before, and it was superb. They keep some standard items around all the time -- amazing steaks (try the peppered NY Strip), but if you blink, you may miss the soft shell crabs or oysters that are only served when they can be their best. We come in often and are always pleasantly surprised. Amazing wine list as well. Barrell-aged cocktails are fabulous. Mikey, the mixologist, crafts the best cocktails. Don't forget about the brick oven pizza and Mark's meatballs, which are amazing. Service is always attentive, professional, and friendly. Basically, I consider Tarbell's to be the best restaurant in Phoenix/Scottsdale. I have been to every "five-star" restaurant in town. We have become quite a foodie locale, so that's a big compliment.

Great selection of cocktails and nibbles (from food truck). Very knowledgeable staff and enjoyable environment.
