I know they have a huge business, catering events and other things but, one of our favorite things is every now and then they will announce that they will make take and reheat dinners and oh my goodness this has been an amazing experience for us. If you watch their website at https://sierrabonitacateringcompany.com/ make sure to watch the take and reheat menu drop down and get yourself on their email list. She will send an announcement out with a specific menu that will be offered- you order ahead of time and pick up on Fridays between 3 and 6 PM. Everything is packaged wonderfully, and for the most part, so far, everything reheats at 350° in your oven in about 20 minutes and you have an amazing Southwest Sierra Bonita level meal. Tonight, I was able to enjoy a red chili honey glazed salmon with the most amazing corn and potato side and hubby had a Carne asada with epic rice and beans. Everything is absolutely amazing and we sure are glad they are continuing to offer this from time to time.

We have vegetarians and picky eaters on our team so as a business owner my team can be hard to please. They are also big eaters. After an afternoon of playing in the sun and swimming, this gang was hungry and boy did Sierra Bonita Catering deliver! They were prompt, super friendly and the food was amazing. We requested food for 20 people and we could have fed 40! everyone had seconds and we all took home leftovers. The red chili pork and mushroom enchiladas are highly recommended. This is one of the best event catering experiences in Phoenix I've ever had.

There is valet, and public parking on spot but it fills up fast. Other parking if farther away. It's not just Biltmore restaurants, there was a winery from Sedona, breweries and bakeries from Phoenix, as well as plenty of restaurants from all over the valley. There's standing seating, and there's tables with seating, and a HUGE open bar. All worth it for the $100, we grabbed a sample from nearly half of the booths and were full. There's around 40 booths all sampling everything. Favorites were Page Springs Cellar apple wine, and Paradise Valley Burger Co with the green chile burger. I could have had 3 of each. Oh man.

I ordered steak au poivre and every single filet was overdone! They should have been cooked medium rare but every single one of them was well done!What a waste of good steak. We had 2 vegetarians in the group so ordered the wild mushroom risotto which was nothing more than rock hard rice with mushrooms. Zoia and her assistant filled the AirBnB with smoke and set off the smoke detector. We all had to wait outside for the smoke to clear. I was immediately concerned when we sat down to eat at the prearranged time and she said that " everything was ready". The steaks should not have been cooked before we had appetizers and salads. I'm sure they continued cooking as they rested. If we had been in a restaurant I would have sent my steak back to the kitchen. I eat medium rare, not medium well!

The…read morerestaurant is elegant, beautifully designed, and the grounds create an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Our server, Paul, was outstanding. He was attentive without ever being intrusive, made excellent recommendations throughout the evening, and genuinely cared about making my husband's birthday celebration special. His professionalism and warmth made the evening unforgettable. We began with the Escargot à la Bourguignonne, followed by Osetra caviar with blini, an indulgent start that was absolutely worth it. Laura, the sommelier, was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us select two wonderful bottles of champagne that paired perfectly with the caviar and the rest of our dinner. My husband also enjoyed a couple of their Old Fashioneds, which were expertly prepared and among the best he's had. For our entrées, I chose the Japanese Miyazaki Wagyu, while my husband had the 20 oz bone in ribeye with a grilled lobster tail. Our guests enjoyed the filet and the New York strip. Every cut of meat was cooked to perfection and the quality was exceptional. The crème corn mascarpone was rich and delicious, and the Haricot Vert Amandine complemented the meal beautifully. My only disappointment had nothing to do with the food or service. I made our reservation well in advance and specifically requested one of the comfortable booths for my husband's birthday. Unfortunately, that request was not honored by the manager, Jacob. Since we enjoy ordering several appetizers and spending a few hours enjoying the experience, having a booth would have made the evening much more comfortable. They gave us a very uncomfortable booth. Even with that one setback, the overall experience was outstanding. The cuisine, cocktails, wine service, and hospitality were all first class.

On one occasion, I parked in a residential neighborhood a few minutes away by foot for free. The other time, I parked in the adjacent parking garage and the bar validated my ticket. You can also valet, though I'm not about that life. The hotel itself is spectacular. This is definitely an upscale hotel with elegance. Beautiful decor and design. Clean. It's an elevated experience. It's a see and be seen type of spot. Which is not typically my vibe but I'll dabble here and there. Service has also been quite good across the board during both of my experiences. The lobby bar, while not unusual for a hotel, is a nice one. It takes up a good part of the lobby and there are open areas, seating by the bar, and comfortable couches and sofas all-around. Here's my issue with The Global Ambassador...man, it's pricey. A gin and tonic, mind you not a complicated cocktail, though they do use good liquor, was going for $19. That's the same amount you pay for a complex, sophisticated cocktail at a speakeasy. I understand that they're probably trying to attract a certain clientele, but there is a level of gouging going on that is noticeable. Nice place, not so nice prices.

We worked with Candace and Mary at AZ Taste to put together the event. They were great from the very first encounter - very knowledgeable, patient, and enthusiastic about what they do. Both ladies are true experts at party planning, and we felt calm and confident knowing they'd take good care of us. We (my dad, step-mom, and I) met them at their office for an in-house tasting, giving us a chance to sample different dishes and pick out our favorites for the wedding reception. We went over table decorations, color schemes, and other specifics for the event. I liked that AZ Taste had a wide variety of table decor, ranging from flower arrangements to candelabra, so we didn't have to purchase dedicated table decor for the reception. While my dad and step-mom discussed prices and budget with Candace and Mary, I talked to one of the chefs, who gave me a quick tour of the kitchens. The wedding reception went smoothly and all in all, we were very satisfied with AZ Taste. The event staff were fantastic. From the people passing out appetizers, to the woman who cut the cake, we were impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail! The staff on site were overseen by Mary, but you could tell that all the employees were very familiar with weddings and knew exactly what to do. From the initial event preparation to clean-up, it was a hassle-free experience and my dad and step-mom didn't have to spend a moment of their wedding day worrying about the catering company doing their job correctly. The food was perfect and tons of guests came up to my dad and step-mom to compliment them on the meal. Whether you come to AZ Taste with a detailed vision for your event, or just a few general ideas, Mary and Candace will ensure that it's a memorable experience for your guests, stress-free for you as the host, and delicious for everyone involved! The menu options available are as varied as your imagination, but I do suggest letting Candace and Mary make some recommendations for your event. (While we didn't go with this idea, I really liked the concept of having a "mashed potato bar," where guests can assemble mashed potatoes with different toppings in a martini glass. Very modern, yet classy!) If my family ever hosts another big event, or perhaps when I get married one day (in the distant future), we will be using AZ Taste for our catering needs! Thank you Mary and Candace!!!
