Incredible as always, the rotating specials are always a surprise and delight. The best feature of this place is their command of the vegetable. The vegetable courses are a testament to their mastery of their ingredients. The service is also impeccable and the server is a master of hospitality expertly recommending pairing. Truly a gem in Phoenix and I make a point to visit whenever I’m in town!
