HIDDEN GEM! I feel like I escaped the hustle and bustle of Phoenix here. Their patio is shaded and they have a lovely garden. Food menu is small, but they have a full bar. Food was absolutely delicious with local ingredients. The breakfast burrito had soft eggs with a great cheese pull. The fingerling potatoes on the side were crisp and salty. The shakshuka was hearty with delicious Noble sourdough bread. We tried some of their hot sauces as well, and loved the strawberry balsamic! I will definitely be returning.

I saw post online about the drinking chocolate at Tandy's and I knew had to try. Tandy's opened at 9:00 on Saturday and arrived at 9:20 and the place was half full already. I had to try the drinking chocolate and espresso they recommended mocha. tasty and smooth. Staff were amazing and atmosphere very inviting. I also added the freshly baked chocolate croissant and finished with the Brown butter chocolate chip cookie with Ember chocolate -amazing! Tallow fries a treat. It's nice they don't use unhealthy seed oils. I will be back to try other items. My new favorite place!

My friend and I came here for brunch around 10:20am on a Friday, not knowing breakfast would end at 10:30am. There was no line at the counter, so we were we able to get our breakfast order in. I couldn't decide between the breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito. The server recommended the sandwich because it is only available on weekdays, whereas the burrito is available every day. Both of us got the breakfast sandwich, which was served on a pig-shaped wooden board. It was so good! The toast was buttered and toasted perfectly. The egg was cooked just to the point where the yolk was still soft but not runny. The flavor combo was on point. There was also a separate chocolate counter inside the restaurant, where the chocolatier offered samples of a variety of chocolate bars. The one that stood out the most for its uniqueness was the elote chocolate. The taste reminded me of Dorito's chips! It was good but I wouldn't eat a whole bar of it. I ended up getting a Peruvian dark chocolate that had a delicious blueberry taste. Pricing is not listed, so I didn't know it would cost a shocking $16.50. I will definitely come back to try the breakfast burrito, but no more chocolate for me.

Wow, did I love this place! I had not heard anything about it until I recently saw an Instagram post from Mark Tarbell saying how much he enjoyed this place. Of course, that got my attention, so I made a reservation to make sure we could get in. I knew I would love the feel of this place the minute we drove in to the parking lot. The front patio is lovely, and kind of closed off to cars going by. There is a vegetable garden in front of the restaurant, which is an old house. Their tables outside near the garden, but our reservation was for inside. The inside is lovely. There are chocolate wrappers on one was, which I think is very clever. The front room has a bar, but we were seated in the back room which was fantastic because we sat right next to the kitchen. It is totally open to the kitchen, just like if you were in your home. Our table was just outside the kitchen so we could see all the goings on, including chef Tandy doing her thing. She was the one to bring us our food. Have you ordered a beer, and I ordered the Embers Mocha Martini. It's was so yummy--especially the cocoa whip. We also ordered the Cacao Bread. It's definitely a unique bread. It actually has cacao in it which kind of makes it taste like a bitter coffee, but then you put the whipped honey butter with cocoa nibs (I think??) on it and it's so delicious. I think if you come here, trying the Cacao Bread is a must. Have you ordered the meatloaf which was served with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The meatloaf actually comes in its own little cast iron loaf pan. Even though the sauce on it is red, it's not a traditional tomato sauce. It's almost like a gravy and it is really good. I ordered the chicken and dumplings, which comes in a little individual crock with a lid. Because it comes straight from the oven in the crock, it's quite hot and I had to wait for it to cool down - - it was worth the wait. I absolutely love the dumplings which were like little scoops of bread. It was so delicious! Our server was really good. I was curious about the bread before we ordered it, and he was able to give a very detailed description of what was in the bread and what the flavor was like. I really appreciated it and I'm really glad that he suggested we order it. I feel like this place is truly a gem. I'm sorry I hadn't heard about it before because this place could quickly become one of our favorites.

What a find! This restaurant is very cozy and homey. The perfect place for an intimate dinner. The food was delicious (I'm not a seafood lover) but there were plenty of seafood options. I loved the cacao bread with honey butter, the watermelon feta salad, and the gin & tonic was delicious!

Do not sleep on Tandy's! After seeing a post on Instagram, I gave it a try and so glad I did. The service was 10/10, the atmosphere was so cozy, and though I didn't sit outside the patio looked adorable. The food was so so good! Everything was fresh and they brought things out one at a time so you could really enjoy it before starting the next course. The hummus and the grilled asparagus were my favorites. The dumplings were different, more chicken pot pie like which I wasn't expecting but still good. I'll definitely be back to try the brunch next!

Another memorable dinner at 2320 East Osborne Street! Tandy's Cafe is the third restaurant iteration that we have dined at that location. Tandy's is similar to Binkley's because they serve memorable plates and outstanding experiences. The chef's chocolate skills are apparent in many items. The room is still very comfortable and welcoming. The service is attentive.

Stopped in for brunch on their lovely patio while the weather is still nice. Their menu is a bit more limited than what's on their website, but still something for everyone. I went with shakshuka- two baked eggs in a flavorful tomato sauce with chunks of feta and two thick slices of a tasty toasted bread that was full of spices and flavor. It's served in a little cast iron skillet and is surprisingly filling. Definitely worth checking out.

Went here for brunch on a Saturday, and while it was good overall, there were definitely some pros and cons: First the parking is limited. Even though the place was not very busy, there are probably about 15-20 total spots. We parked across the street, but not ideal. The inside of Tandy's is very nice though, and the seating is comfortable. It felt more like a place to bring a larger group than a date. Second, for the food, I wanted the pain au chocolate, but for $10 I was swayed to try the $5 expresso banana bread instead. This was a very small piece for $5 in my opinion, and though good, did not taste good enough where the $5 price seemed justified, and made me glad I did not swing for the pain au chocolate. We also got the shakshuka and the pork chilaquiles. Both of these had good taste, but are far from what was expected or traditional. The shakshuka is what I have come to find at most places in the US - thick and more of a over hard egg in an almost omelete mix with peppers and tomatoes served with a thick piece of bread that does not absorb well. Again, I enjoyed the dish, but it had no spice, and I would have preferred bread and runny yolk and sauce which would have made the dish more traditional. The chilaquiles were similar in that the focus was on the pork, which was tasty, and a large serving, but there was a lack of spice and not enough egg to make it what I would call chilaquiles. In addition to these we got a latte, drip coffee, and the mimosa bucket, which was an upsell from the server. The mimosa bucket was fine. You get two juice cup choices with it...though the cups provided are not meant for pouring. For $34 it didn't move the needle either way. My third issue, which may be small, was that there was no refill on the drip coffee. That left me with little surprise for a bill at about $93 before tip. I may go back, as the venue is nice, but at the price paid, it really didn't feel any different than other options in Phoenix.

A new favorite spot for us -- what started as a tip from a yoga instructor turned into three delicious visits in a row. For brunch you order at the counter and can choose indoor or outdoor seating; everything feels warm and cozy the moment you walk in. We tried breakfast first: my husband (a burrito aficionado) declared their breakfast burrito the best he's ever had -- and I, who'd never had one before, was converted. We also shared a brown-butter cookie that was dangerously good (wish I'd snapped a photo before we devoured it). Dinner the next weekend felt special -- quaint ambiance, wonderful staff, and friendly neighbors who clearly come often. We had corn queso, chicken and dumplings, trout amandine, mashed potatoes, roasted cauliflower, and a decadent dessert (maybe a banana split?) -- every dish was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Brunch on Valentine's weekend didn't disappoint either. My husband had the crab benedict and I had the smash burger -- two patties, perfectly cooked pink in the middle, juicy and topped with grilled onions and a killer sauce. On earlier visits I'd noticed lots of burgers coming out of the kitchen -- now I know why. We took a few pastries home and they were all fresh and scrumptious. Between the food, the friendly staff, and the cozy atmosphere, this place feels like a true neighborhood treasure. Can't wait to go back.

Food and service were great! The outdoor area was very peaceful. The chicken and dumpling felt like something you would eat growing up!

So we never got to try binkleys, but this is the restaurant that replaced it. It was a pleasant surprise to learn that a majority of the staff, including the chef, we're all former employees at that restaurant, and to some degree carry on that legacy. It's such a cute, unassuming restaurant inside of a house. The menu is rather small, and upon asking further questions is likely to have some seasonal rotation, but also maintain some dishes as well. Our server was quite friendly and conversational. He gave us a rundown of the menu and offered some recommendations. We opted to start with the cacao bread. I would recommend if you down here try anything that has chocolate in it, as one of the chefs is a chocolatier. This bread is a fun take on savory meeting, sweet. The butter was outstanding. We then shared a Caesar salad. It was quite hanging with the cilantro, lime dressing, but nothing out of the ordinary. As for dinner, we shared the brussels sprouts, the meatloaf, and the chicken and dumplings as house favorites from our servers recommendations. The Meatloaf was delicious, and the mashed potatoes I came with it were phenomenal. I was obsessed with the brussels sprouts, and honestly think they would be a great starter. The chicken and dumplings were good. Very reminiscent of a chicken pot pie with the creamy savoriness of it. If you're looking for a dish by the book, that's traditional in that sense, that would probably be the one for you. For dessert we had the creme brûlée, and it was good, just like a traditional vanilla bean creme brûlée. I actually enjoyed the raspberry macaroon they topped it with a bit more than the creme brûlée itself, simply because I don't normally like macaroons so it surprised me. All in all, this is such a cute little restaurant for a date night. You could even do a special occasion as well. I think you get incredible bang for your buck as we only spent $173 before tip for all the food And two drinks each. I was definitely expecting it to be 200+. I especially loved that The chef came over to talk to us as it felt special to learn more about their story from one of the people who was there originally. I will definitely come back, and I'm very excited to see how the menu evolves and changes.

Wow!! Such delicious food. We started with the cocao bread and honey butter, divine!! We had Caesar salads with great dressing and nice slices of Parmesan. For entrees two ordered the chicken pot pie, one ordered the pork shank and I ordered the NY strip. We shared the tallow fries, OMG, everything was delicious! The zero proof Mai Tai was so yummy. The pinot noir was great. For desserts (don't judge, we were feeling it) were great; peach pie, crème brûlée, brownie with ice cream and european hot dark chocolate!! Such a wonderful night. We visited with Tandy, the chef/owner and she is so nice. And last but not least is Celeste, our wonderful waitress. Very personable and attentive. We will definitely return, I hear brunch is outstanding!!

I see why this place has 5 star reviews! We had the opportunity to have dinner in a private room last Saturday. It was such a great experience. The first thing I would say is that this is a really special location. There's just a vibe about the space that is both special and comfortable. Our night started with an introduction to how they make chocolate and the backstory on cocoa beans. Super informative and a great tasting. That part was unexpected and delightful. Cocktails followed. They were gorgeous. craft. cocktails. I needed a little pick me up so I ordered their version of an espresso martini that included mocha cream. It was the best I've ever had. My husband ordered the chocolate Negroni. He was a little apprehensive as he is a classic Negroni guy. He loved it and inquired about the recipe. The food was fantastic. We started with charcuterie boards, and gorgeous tinned fish platters The presentations weregorgeous. We shared a lot of dishes for the main entrée and my favorites were the pork shank and the meatloaf. (I heard the trout was amazing). Everything is so approachable and so delicious. The staff is ever present and attentive. We had tickets for a play otherwise I would've loved to stay longer and or go outside by the fire. This place is a keeper. We loved it. read more

I had the chance to dine here with a large group, which made it especially fun since we were able to share and sample a wide variety of dishes. I started with the zero-proof Mai Tai, which was perfectly balanced--just the right blend of sweet, salty, and tart. The standout dishes for me were the trout amandine, braised pork shank, and corn queso--each one absolutely delicious and memorable. Close behind were the roasted cauliflower, meatloaf, and cocoa rolls. The mashed potatoes and black beans were good, though not quite at the same level as the others. Two people at our table claimed the cauliflower was the best they've ever had--which explains why there wasn't much left for me to try (haha!). For dessert, the chocolate cake with ice cream was rich, dense, and creamy. One of the highlights was when Tandy herself came by our table to check in. You can truly feel her passion and care reflected in the food. read more

I recently visited Tandy's in Phoenix, and it is easily one of the most charming spots in the city. If you're looking for a cozy cafe with a menu that feels both elevated and comforting, this is the place to be. The menu is incredibly well-crafted; I had the Spiced Drinking Chocolate Mocha, which was rich and perfectly balanced, and the Seared Ahi Tuna Melt. The tuna was seared to perfection and came with fresh-cut fries fried in beef tallow, giving them incredible flavor and crispiness. The atmosphere is warm, but the hospitality truly sets it apart. The staff was incredibly friendly, and both the Head Chef, Tandy, and the GM, Shelby, took the time to check on me. Their kindness and grace made the experience feel personal and special. Delicious food, exceptional service, and a cozy atmosphere--I will definitely be back! read more

We went to Tandy's for my wife and I anniversary after being suggested the spot from a previous chef from Binkley's. It did not disappoint, I loved that we sat next to the kitchen and got to see the goings on. The service was beyond amazing, my wife got the trout I got the pork shank. Chef Tandy stopped by and offered us some champagne and talked with us for a bit. If you're ever heading here no matter what event it's an amazing time and well worth the money, I can't rave about this place enough. PS get the brownie when you can! read more

A true & honest 10/10. I am the critic from ratatouille transpired with nostalgia and sent into an immersive experience of childlike joy with the food, ambiance, and truthfullness of their decor. Their kitchen, bare, minimalistic, and vulnerable with nothing to hide. In a place like the u.s. it's nice to see restaurants like this bring home to us with trustworthy ingredients when wanting to enjoy a meal out. Worth every penny, my new favorite restaurant.

Fantastic from A to Z! Incredible drinks, food and atmosphere. Wow! Tandy's was fantastic. Everyone was so professional and kind. The drinks were perfection--true craftsmanship at a great price point. Between the delicious food and the perfect patio ambiance, we had an incredible Saturday night. What makes Tandy's an incredible spot is you can go and chill with your friends or if you're looking to impress a date, this is the spot! The bartender's Old Fashioned was phenomenal, especially when enjoyed with their Cacao Bread and Honey Butter. I ordered the Chicken & Dumplings, which came in a petite crock; it was absolutely bursting with flavor. Since the plates are designed for sharing, the focus is on divine quality over large portions. We also loved the sides--the Broccoli in garlic butter and parmesan was a dream, and you can't go wrong with either the mashed potatoes or the frites. We capped it all off with a slice of mulberry pie that was just fantastic. I'll definitely be back for brunch and happy hour. I've already got my eye on that chocolate and cheese pairing I saw at the bar! Thank you, Tandy's, for a great experience. I look forward to your continued success! read more

What a quaint and cozy place! What I thought was a quick coffee pitstop turned out to be a marvelous experience! I was greeted by a very nice gentleman at the bar, he was so kind and informative. He helped me craft the perfect coffee to start my day. While the menu looks fantastic, I wasn't really too hungry so I decided to get a side of bacon to snack on. The barista let me know that they made their own chocolate there, so I wandered over to check out Missy's chocolate bar. She was so generous and entertaining, teaching me so much about the process on how they get from tree to treats. I bought a couple chocolate bars to take home, I can't wait to share them with my family. I was surprised to see a familiar face, Joby brought out my bacon and was super friendly! He is the best, go see Joby and tell him I sent you! I enjoyed my coffee and my bacon on their beautiful patio, which even has a gorgeous growing garden nearby! This place has a very unique and comforting vibe, I felt like I wasn't in the heart of Phoenix but enjoying breakfast in a cottage out of a storybook. I can't wait to bring friends and family to this gorgeous place, stop by and see for yourself! read more

updating my review since i had the pleasure of coming here for my birthday dinner! the first impact of the garden as you walk up is SO LOVELY! i love how home-y everything feels. service is always kind and calm. to start, my parents got glasses of sauvignon blanc, and i got their elote margarita (delicious! a must try!). we ordered everything to share, starting with the cacao bread which was savory, soft, chocolatey, DELICIOUS! it was paired with an amazing, sweet (but not too sweet) whipped honey butter topped with cacao nibs. the perfect way to start the meal, especially considering bread is my favorite food and i will ALWAYS order bread service. we also got their spinach salad, mole black beans, chicken & dumplings, meatloaf, and trout amandine for dinner. everything felt home-cooked; it was one of the most comforting and delicious meals i've had as of recently. the chicken & dumplings were my favorite entree, while my mom absolutely adored the trout with wild rice, and my dad was partial to the meatloaf. at this point i tried the chocolate negroni as well, and i just have to say the candied chocolate orange garnish it came with was the BEST combo i never expected. we also got their slice of pie (cherry) and their brownie with pistachios. the pie was delicious and crumbly, the brownie was more cake-y rather than a "true" brownie texture. my mom gave them the highest honor of being named her favorite restaurant in the valley HAHA! i would easily agree that they're one of my new favorites too (i've been thinking about their shakshuka ever since i got it nearly a couple months ago). read more

Tandy's Cafe is one of those places that immediately feels special the moment you walk in, and it all starts with the people. Tandy herself is truly the heart of this place. She treats everyone incredibly well, remembers faces, and genuinely cares about every guest who comes through the door. You can feel how much pride and intention she puts into what she has built, and it shows in every detail. Huge shoutout to Shelby, the wine sommelier. Her knowledge and recommendations always elevate the experience, whether you know a lot about wine or are just looking for something great to enjoy. She makes it feel effortless and personal every time. And Mak behind the bar makes some of the best drinks in Phoenix. Thoughtfully crafted, consistently amazing, and always served with great energy. Every cocktail feels intentional and never misses. The food, the atmosphere, and the service all come together perfectly. This is the kind of place you keep coming back to not just because it's good, but because it feels good to be here. If you haven't been to Tandy's Cafe yet, you are missing out. read more

Been hearing good things & was finally able to try dinner recently. The food was great! The chicken & dumplings were delicious but the price for the portion was a tad disappointing. The trout & burger also great & portions more on par for the price. Our server may have been relatively new based on her responses to some of our questions and not being able to make solid recommendations. read more

We chose Tandy's for our family graduation celebration and it was wonderful. Herding a group of 12 is not easy. Great communication prior to the event, including recommendations for apps and entrees. Excellent service from the whole team. Perfect pacing. Super-even food quality across the board. Multiple family members commented that the little things (the broccoli, the bread, the citrus salad) were the best they've ever had. There was a small skirmish over the leftovers. The whole staff pitched in to make our group feel special, humored all the dad jokes at the table, made sure there was always water (and wine), and just generally did a great job of running a restaurant and a private dining situation at the same time. I've previously eaten here in a bar seat (once for dinner, and then for lunch) and the quality is the same regardless of what service mode they are in. This place has my heart. Also, just order the steak. Don't think about it. You'll be so happy. read more

Specialties

Tandy's is the neighborhood spot you didn't know you were missing — born from the vision of a chef and a chocolatier who wanted to create something truly special. While we're beloved for our fresh pastries and crave-worthy coffee, dinner and happy hour are where the magic really comes alive. As the evening rolls in, so does the full depth of our kitchen — thoughtfully crafted dinner plates rooted in quality ingredients and chef-driven creativity. Happy hour brings the perfect reason to pull up a stool, sip something good, and let the night unfold at your own pace. And yes — every visit comes with the bonus of our award-winning Embers Chocolate, made in-house from scratch by our very own chocolatier. Whether you're winding down after work or settling in for a proper dinner, Tandy's wraps it all in warmth and community. Come for happy hour. Stay for dinner. Leave with chocolate. Leave feeling like a regular.

History

Established in 2025.

Tandy's is a chef-owned neighborhood café founded by chef and chocolatier Tandy Peterson. Tandy's culinary journey began with a deep love of food and hospitality, shaped through years of professional training — including six formative years working under James Beard–nominated chef Kevin Binkley. That foundation instilled a lifelong commitment to technique, quality ingredients, and thoughtful hospitality. After cooking in kitchens around the world and honing her craft as a chocolatier, Tandy launched Embers Chocolate — her award-winning, small-batch chocolate brand, made entirely in-house. Tandy's grew naturally from that passion: a space where chef-driven breakfast and lunch, fresh pastries, and handcrafted chocolate all live under one roof. Opened with community at its core, Tandy's is designed to feel like a true neighborhood gathering place — somewhere locals can count on for comforting food, exceptional chocolate, and genuine hospitality, every single day.

Meet the Business Owner: Tandy P.

Tandy Peterson grew up in Wyoming raising cattle — naming every one after spices like salt, pepper, sugar, nutmeg, and basil. Even then, food was never just food. It was connection. That instinct carried her through years of training under James Beard–nominated chef Kevin Binkley, through kitchens in Spain, Chicago, Alaska, and Phoenix, and eventually into chocolate — not as an afterthought, but as a craft in its own right. She built Embers Chocolate around one principle: make everything from scratch, from bean to bar, and never cut corners. Tandy's is the fullest expression of that philosophy. Housed in a converted Midtown Phoenix residence, it's part neighborhood café, part working chocolate studio — where the food tastes like childhood and the chocolate is roasted and ground on-site. She built it to slow people down, bring them to the table, and make them feel at home.

Upon walking in, the place was packed and we stood in line at the bar for standing room only. The bartenders were friendly and the cocktail list was pretty interesting. Both of the drinks we got off the menu were bitter and NOT sweet, which is bad news for me cause I love a sweet drink! lol The bartender was able to make me a lychee mojito after I asked specifically for any flavored syrups they had. She was very sweet to check what flavors they have and gave me several different options. My boyfriend got some whiskey and they gave a hefty pour. We ended up snagging some seats at the bar and ordered two slices of pepperoni pizza. Love that you can buy slices individually here, including cheese pep and dill pickle - how fun, will definitely try this next time! Overall, nice chill dive bar with good food and drinks.

GOOD! inspired by taco bell's baja blast hahahah). they TREATED us to all three of their current desserts on the menu. it was the most pleasant surprise i could've imagined. my favorite was the flourless chocolate cake! it was like a thick, rich brownie, had passion fruit cream to "lighten it up" and a caramel-like taffy on the bottom my brother and sister-in-law both said their favorite was the gulab jamun (which is basically like little fried dough balls/donuts, influenced by indian flavors and spices). the mille-feuille was also fantastic - the pastry was light and airy, cream wasn't too sweet and also very light, shaved cheese on top made it have a savory bite, and the jam alongside it was strawberry rhubarb. service is always amazing, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable; it seems like everybody working here truly enjoys it. quite literally already have a reservation booked at valentine and will be coming back here beforehand. update: came back for more drinks (fernet & coke, spaghett western, negroni) and their lamb flauta. all AMAZING! and amazing order to whet the appetite before dinner at valentine.

Excellent service, a Christmas tree upstairs, and no reservations required. Glad they were able to seat us considering we showed up without reservations. Downstairs gets quickly reserved so seats upstairs are where they push overflow patrons. Right outside Flint's doors downstairs there is a staircase which opens up to the upstairs dining area. Service was prompt, and we got our drinks by the time we had our mains decided. I got a glass of red to pair with my steak. My partner had a refreshing cocktail, but it was decent. The highlights of the night were the food. SO MUCH FOOD! And it was TERRIFIC! For starters we got the artichoke hummus. It sounded a bit weird, but all it was was regular hummus with 4 artichoke hearts that were crispy. The artichoke hearts were crisp, but moist, and I could have kept eating those all day. It comes with 1 pita bread. The server told us to order another and we did, turns out we needed it as the pita breads were quite small ($3 +). Sure only 3 bucks, but nickel and dime if you are spending $14 on an app... For mains I got the filet medium rare with a side of regular potatoes. My partner got the salmon skewer with a side of asparagus. Both the dishes were cooked perfectly and they were familiar dishes with a slightly exotic touch to it. Must be the middle eastern part of the restaurant. The steak came with a ganache or accompaniments of middle eastern sides. Can't recall what they were but they were great when I dipped my potatoes in them. It was sour, tart, acidic, kind of like middle eastern soy sauce. The server recommended it to us and we got it. The salmon skewer came with 5 decent sized pieces on it. Great for a small eater or someone who doesn't want their own meal. It too was delicious and had light touches of sauce or smoke on it. The asparagus is a favorite. It was cooked as usual, typical steak side and both me and my partner enjoyed it! For dessert, as it was my partners birthday the server comped the pound cake. While it was delicious, it was definitely the letdown of the meal. It was way too sweet including the layer of cream that it was doused with. The sweat cream wasn't necessary as the pound cake was incredibly sweet itself. Also, the pound cake wasn't soft like normal cake. It was quite dry once you peeled away the creme layer up top. I definitely should have gone with the Chocolate Ganache Tart. But their mess up worked in their favor. I'm definitely coming back for another meal at Flint!

I'm a fan. I met up with a couple friends for a cutesy dinner before drinks. Both the indoor and…read moreoutdoor dining areas are very aesthetically pleasing. It gave sort of a Palm Springs vibe. The menu features different Asian fusion dishes and some standard American options. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout. He mentioned their pretty much all day happy hour which I'll for sure be back for next time. I thought the food was pretty good, decent sushi and the loaded fries were tasty. A great spot to grab a bite before hitting up Roosevelt Row.

Food: Japanese brunch is pretty rare, so we were excited to try this place! We ordered the Japanese…read moreToast, and it was delicious. We also tried the Sashimi Don, if I remember the name correctly, and that was really good too. Atmosphere: The decor is not the stereotypical Japanese style you might expect. It feels very modern while still incorporating lots of Japanese elements. Even the restroom is beautifully designed. One thing that really stood out to me was that each stall had an audiobook playing inside. Such an interesting and memorable touch. There is no street parking nearby, so you'll need to park in the garage next door. They do validate parking.

Wow...where do I begin…read more Came here for my sister in laws birthday and none of us have been here before--we all loved everything we ordered. Food: We loved the steak tartar--highly recommend! We also loved the short rib skewers--no business being that good. We did order the gyoza...they were good but did not compare with the other starters. I ordered the miso salmon. It was perfectly cooked. Slightly salty but good. My husband ordered the porterhouse steak and everyone at the table got a piece and were in love. That steak was heavenly. My sister in law and friend both ordered the filet mignon and both really enjoyed their steaks. For sides we ordered the potatoes and Brussels and I highly recommend you order those for your sides if you go. The potatoes are ridiculously good. We ended on some desert, although I was too full, my husband got the chocolate cheesecake and my SIL got the sticky cake. Her sticky cake was recommended by our waiter and it was the better dessert choice. Cocktails were good. The ambiance was amazing. Service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

"MY NEW FAVORITE BREAKFAST SPOT!" Second time here and it just keeps getting better!!! * Shakshuka: Rich, spiced tomato sauce with perfectly poached eggs, chickpeas, creamy feta, and loads of fresh herbs. Served sizzling in a cast-iron skillet with crispy toast on top -- hearty and delicious! * Breakfast Burrito: Stuffed with fluffy eggs, sausage, cheese, and peppers, then griddled crispy. Paired with golden roasted potatoes and house salsa. So satisfying. * The Hot Sauce: Absolute game-changer! Those beautiful dropper bottles (dark mystery and bright red) are complex, vibrant, and full of layered heat. I put it on everything -- it takes the dishes to another level. Need to buy some to take home! Generous portions, fresh ingredients, and serious flavor. Tandy's is worth the drive read more

Got dinner from here with friends this week. For 6PM on a Thursday night it was not busy at all…read more Nice mix of casual and dressed up, between the outdoor and indoor seating. Like some other reviews, with it not being busy at all, the staff was very attentive, almost a little too attentive with trying to clear plates when we were still eating, but that's not a real complaint. Onto the food, 10/10, most interesting and scrumptious food I've enjoyed in a while! The Dry Aged Beef Carpaccio was DELICIOUS, I easily ate it by myself. For an entree I got the Chitarra Clam Pasta, it had a really delicious light white sauce, and it was a delight to eat. The pasta itself was cooked well, the clams seemed fine, and the flavors were great. For dessert, two of us split the Brown Butter Cake, and because there was no menu we didn't realize it would be $17, but in the end it was worth it. The cake was topped with ice cream and there was caramel drizzled across the dish, really delicious and more impressive than I would've expected. Overall staff was friendly, didn't need to make a reservation, and the food was mind blowing.

Okay, now THIS place was a real treat. Located in the Melrose District, this place is much bigger…read morethan it seems when you include patio dining. It's got a great aesthetic with a Long bar and a beamed ceiling. The kitchen is right in front of you so you can see everything being made. Service is fantastic here. The hostess was also our server and she was able to answer all questions. She was very attentive. Everything on the menu looked amazing, but we narrowed it down to the fish, which was branzino and the grilled prime bavette with chimichurri and salsa verde. For dessert we had a chocolate cake. Everything was absolutely fantastic, definitely a place I want to come back to soon. There are other things on the menu that I really want to try, so I'm sure we'll be back.

Restaurant Progress is the best dining experience we've had in Arizona. Went for the first time…read morelast night, for our anniversary. Our waitress, Dresden, was fantastic, and Chef Pierce Vargas was working right next to us. Every dish was so incredible that we had to tell him personally. We don't usually leave plates this clean, but we practically licked every one. The 5-course tasting menu for $75/person is one of the best values we've ever had. They gave us different dishes, so we were able to try almost the entire menu--from the steak tartare and yellowtail aquachile to strawberry/tomato, asparagus, chicken croquette, branzino, chicken, and two knock out desserts. Every course was outstanding, and the portions left us perfectly full. We also splurged on the wine pairing, and Zac, the wine director, absolutely nailed it. Every pairing elevated the meal. The most surprising part? The tasting menu hasn't gone up in price since they opened in 2017. They could easily charge three times as much, and we'd gladly pay it. Incredible food, incredible service, and an unbelievable value. We can't wait to come back.

Ok... The food and service was absolutely amazing!! I wasn't a fan of the tables being bolted down…read moreso you can't move them together for large parties... not a deal breaker though, because the food was amazing and presented perfectly!! Today I had their French Dip. It was fantastic. The only thing I would change is to serve it on a nice baguette, versus the sesame seed roll it came out on. However, this sandwich was delish and the Au Jus was perfect. Oh yeah, and nice touch with the chef coming by to check on our food!! Perfect touch to the service!! I washed it down with their Bloody Mary! Fantastic and their horseradish stuffed green olives were amazeballs!! Yummo!!! Everyone in my party enjoyed the food. Give them a shot, if you haven't already!!

For main entrees I got the French Dip, the meat was really good, the dipping sauce was okay. My friend got the steak, she thought it was good but it just had some fatty pieces to it but said the potato was delicious. Service was okay, it kind of tapered off towards the end of our meal. Loved the inside of the place, it was super cute for our girls dinner

Golden hour, baaaayybeee…read more I had a 3+ hour dinner with friends and have zero regrets on everything we ate, drank, and did at the restaurant. ;) We started with golden hour drinks on the rooftop patio overlooking Piestewa Peak (and a mall). Then we made our way downstairs for a Medi-inspired feast! Wine was flowing and we ate everything--from raw oysters and tuna crudo, to chicken and salmon kebobs and roasted carrots, broccolini, olive oil whipped potatoes, and burnt basque cheesecake... Shout out to our server Jeffrey who took great care of us. I'd def go back. Highly rec.

He answered all of our questions and offered suggestions on the menu. We were a bit disappointed with the food. For the price, the quality wasn't there for us. Our skewers came to the table cold and when we told the manager, her response was "they get plated right away". Not apologizing that all 3 meals were cold to the touch. The dessert was okay but definitely overcooked so we only took a couple bites. The cocktails were really good though.

Though, the stuffing underneath was pretty burnt, which took away from the dish. We also ordered the biscuits, but they came out visibly burnt and were much denser than I expected. Our server was great about it and had them comped from the bill without any issue. The gnocchi was probably my favorite thing we tried, and the drinks were excellent as well. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was better than I've experienced at some restaurants with similar price points. Overall, we skipped dessert and left feeling a little underwhelmed. For the price, I expected a more polished experience. I'm happy to have tried it and checked it off my list.

My husband and I came here for lunch on Valentine's Day and it was fantastic! We were seated outside on the patio, it was lovely as the weather was perfect. They had many plants and trees including a lemon and grapefruit tree! We ordered a variety dishes to share like the beef tartare with squid ink milk bread, Japanese sweet potato, Spanish octopus, golden beets and roasted cauliflower. I was impressed with everything. You can taste the quality in each ingredient and I appreciate that. My husband and I agreed that the Spanish octopus was our favorite dish. It was the best octopus I've had in a while, the char flavor and slight crisp was amazing. We enjoyed the creamy sauce, artichokes, and other veggies that came with this dish. The cauliflower and golden beets were incredible too. The chef told us that the Japanese sweet potato was one of the popular dishes, but out of everything we ordered, it was surprisingly my least favorite. It was still good but everything else tasted better to me. Pa'La is a bit pricey but the quality makes up for it. I would recommend this place for people who are visiting or for a date night!

Whether you choose inside or the patio, the atmosphere is calm and the wait staff are attentive and kind. The food menu changes intermittently, but we have yet to be disappointed after trying almost the entire menu. Couldn't recommend this place more! PS Please bring back the hamachi crudo

We were very disappointed with our experience at Tarbell. The tables are packed so closely together…read morethat both our waiter and the person seated behind me repeatedly bumped into my chair throughout the evening. We waited about 90 minutes for our food, and after asking for an update, the manager apologized and told us our meals were being plated. Unfortunately, it took another 30 minutes before they arrived. The chicken fennel sausage pizza was extremely salty. I could only eat a few bites. The chicken entree and was decent and about what you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber, but the Scotch beef was terrible and a huge disappointment. This was our second visit, and unfortunately it will be our last.
