The crispy chicken sandwich is probably my chicken sandwich of all time!! Definitely a must try! I also love their artichoke appetizer when it’s in season. Not sure you can really go wrong with any of the food here. The service is top notch too. One of my spots in the valley
Went for a friends birthday and enjoyed ourselves overall. The food is delicious but not as good as it’s been in the past. I ordered Ding’s Crispy Chicken Sandwich and it was decent enough. Loved how thin and crisp the fries were though. My friend always orders the French dip that my friend said wasn’t as good as it’s been in the past. The other friends ordered the Knife and Fork Barbecue Ribs as well as the Prime Filet and they both enjoyed their food. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip for the table and it was incredible. I would still recommend the location and the food. The lighting was super dim and hard to get good photos of the food so I just got a photo of mine.
This place is not kid friendly. We don’t have kids but I’m just throwing in info for the review to hopefully help others. They have specific rules that you have to follow so I highly recommend going on the website and reading about their rules before deciding on this location.

Let me start my saying I felt like the entire staff went out of their way to provide a delightful, memorable birthday dinner experience.
My wife and I wanted to do a fancy, fine dining evening without the kids for my birthday (but not so fancy that you look at the menu and just order the chicken by itself with water).
Everything we ordered was fantastic. The smoked Korean glazed bacon appetizer was delicious. The French onion soup might have been the best French onion soup I've ever had. Both of our steaks were cooked perfectly. The soy glazed brussel sprouts were crispy and went great with the steaks (I don't even like brussel sprouts!!). And of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the lobster Mac and cheese.
We paired it with the wine tour and our server was knowledgeable and made the entire evening very pleasant.
A sincere "Thank you" to the entire staff who made our night. I put "surprise me" in the reservation notes just for fun, and they must have taken that as a personal challenge and absolutely understood the assignment and exceeded all expectations.
We will be telling the story of the evening to friends and family, and will absolutely be back again in the future.
Thank you!

It's been a few years since I've been to True Food Kitchen, but they did not disappoint. My fond memory was a gluten free pizza. I ordered another one, this time vegan and it was fabulous! They had other nice vegan options which are clearly marked on the menu but my mind was set on pizza. Service was excellent and we were in a glassed in private room. It was a celebration for my daughter who was celebrating finding her wedding dress. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Thank you True Foods for having vegan options!
Fine dining and exceptional service! First time here and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend the steak tartar, the lobster tails, pineapple vodka and porcini steak. Rocco was incredible with his recommendations and you can tell he puts a lot of effort into all the details. Will eat here every time we are in town. We had a wonderful time!
True Food was very accommodating to my son who has extreme allergies to pistachio and cashews. They made very careful care to ensure his meal was made safely. Our friend eats a clean keto diet and she was able to find food that fits with her dietary restrictions, directly off the menu. She appreciated that very much.
My Meatloaf was good, my favorite thing was the sauce. The meatloaf is a bit different than I am used to. There is a seasoning in it that was not my favorite.
There were several of my peers who had the Mac n cheese and felt there was very little cheese.
Overall, we had a great experience as a group. Service was good and the atmosphere was very nice! It would be nice if management had a shade for the windows to pull when the sun sets.

Each time I dine in at true food I have a better experience. But, it is not worth it for take out or delivery. It’s expensive and the portions are laughable. My soup cup was 1/3 full, my Tuscan salad was missing the chicken I paid over $8 to add, the honey pizza had barely anything on it but hot honey. The three items cost me an outrageous number and were overall just disappointing… what is happening to the food industry. Everything is so expensive and truly just not worth it.
This place is great from the atmosphere to the staff and the food are all excellent. Best steakhouse I've been to they always nail the cook perfectly and I've never had a bad experience.
Great Lunch! Service was above and beyond my expectations! The food was excellent, but once again, the service was Outstanding! Spent $160 with tip and would do it again! Princess!
We always have a great time here at True Food Kitchen. This is one of my favorite places to bring friends and family. The food is always delicious, nutritious and extremely fresh.
We ordered the Tuna Poke Bowl, Strawberry and Arugula Salad with Shrimp, and the Ancient Grain Bowl with Steak.
The service was impeccable. We sat outside under the dual sun protected patio with a canopy and umbrella over our table with the fine mist as well. It was surprisingly comfortable despite the 107°F ambient temperature.
Price is about what you would expect for Biltmore area, pricey but worth it for the quality of the food, service and ambience.
We will certainly be coming back soon!

Dang the vegan pizza option delivered! The mushrooms, spinach, and some type of whipped almond cheese hit the spot. No need for the usual diet soda because the lemonades slap hard. If you are in the area or need a delicious vegan option stop by!
Service by Nicole and Landon was amazing. The food as usual was perfect. I had a bone-in ribeye that was cooked exactly as requested. We were there to celebrate my wife's birthday and they had a nice handwritten card for her and then brought her a desert to enjoy. The always provide such a great and consistent experience. If you arrive early be sure to enjoy a cocktail in the bar and take a look around at the decor celebrating uniquely Arizona history and figures.
This was our first time at this Capital Grille and we were beyond blessed. They took very good care of us and the service was above and beyond. Shout out to Dylan Simon who served us, he deserves a promotion with his level of detail to serving us and knowledge of the food! Will definitely be coming back and will be requesting him specifically. Food was out of this world. They will surely take care of you.
The food was absolutely amazing! Eat dish was very flavorful. The menu has a variety of items from vegan, vegetarian, to gluten-free options.
The only thing that I found odd was that they only have oat milk coffee creamer. It's not a deal breaker. I just drank my coffee without cream. It was delicious.
I don't like ginger tea, but for some reason, their ginger tea was extremely delicious. You didn't even have to add any sweeteners to it. They added a slice 🍋, which topped off the flavor.
Our server was so nice. I wish I remembered her name.

Hillstone is a great place for sushi along with traditional American fare. As with all Hillstone locations (R&D Kitchen, Houstons, Honor Bar) the service and atmosphere are top notch.
While Hillstone may be known for their French dip made with shaved prime rib, their sushi, specifically the Oasaka Pressed Sushi is fantastic and unique.

I’ve been eating at True Food for years and stopped in for dinner last night for an early Mother’s Day celebration. The menu has changed and there’s a lot more food options to choose from, however our entire table was not a huge fan of the new hummus or pita bread. Also, we ordered two spaghetti squash casseroles which had about an inch layer of hard cheese on top , came out cold and lacked flavor. It was super disappointing especially with our terrible service from Britt. Not the ideal Saturday night dinner we were expecting.
Decided to celebrate a birthday here and everything exceeded our expectations. The porcini ribeye was the best steak we’ve had in phoenix so far. We usually are hesitant when it comes to chain restaurants but that is not a worry here! Everything we ordered was a 10/10 & the service was excellent. We will definitely be back
It was one of the best establishments I have ever been to.
The bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable about all the drinks. ORDER THE DRINK CALLED A HENRY! (LONG ISLAND WITH PINEAPPLE INSTEAD OF COLA) SECRET DRINK ITEM!
We sampled many shots of Burbon, tequila, and other beverages.
The Korean sport steak was an absolutely amazing dish. It does ha e a bit of a kick, but the flavor is out of this world!
Order the bread pudding! It was one of the best bread puddings I have ever had!

The service was incredible! My wife found a hair in her steak and no questions asked her steak was remade and taken off our final bill. The staff is incredibly helpful and courteous! They will accommodate any need or want. We will always choose the Henry to celebrate our special events!
Very cute spot! Service was a little slow, no complaints, we had patience but then the food came out a little cold, also fine because it was really good! Otherwise the restaurant itself had a good vibe and ambiance.
What a great little place tucked into an office building lobby. Extremely nice staff and really fresh ingredients.
Took some clients here for dinner on a Tuesday night. We're able to make reservations the same day (5:30pm reservation). The two girls at the hostess stand were greeted us right away and sat us promptly. Our service was phenomenal. One of the best servers I've had. Always approaching the table when we weren't a deep conversation, and always recommending different drinks and food to try based on what we had already ordered. We all had a steak of some variation (some paired with seafood) and every single one was cooked perfectly. Would definitely recommend for business or date night. And let's not overlook the actual chunks of real lobster in the bisque!!
We celebrated our anniversary here on a nice, quiet, Monday night. The restaurant was busy, but quiet and controlled.
Food came out quickly and delicious. “Lo” was a fantastic server. She had good suggestions and sold me on the bread pudding (so good)

A great breakfast spot iced latte was delicious The food was great and the service was just as good. Close to the convention center if you're in town for one
One of the most impeccable dining experiences I’ve had in the Phoenix area! Our server, Brandon, was our perfect guide for the evening with great recommendations and attentive service. Our meals were prepared to perfection. I couldn’t have been any happier with our experience. Thank you for a memorable evening!
I would give them ten stars if that was allowed. Our server was gracious, friendly and super (Luke) so much so that we came back for breakfast the next morning! Believe in the short ribs, they are legit, stunning actually. We really liked the warm burratta also. The sangria tasted like we were back in Spain. Loved all of it. Also the breakfast was equal to dinner!!
Food was alright. Portions were HUGE! One meal could have been split by two people. The tables are so cramped together it felt like I was eating with another group. The decor is cute though.
Loved everything about The Henry! A really nice place for dinner with girlfriends I haven’t seen in a long time. Our server was fantastic and made great recommendations. My holiday cocktail was so tasty and the braised short ribs were out of this world!
Hatch green Chile…. Oh how I love it! It’s usually a New Mexico thing but since we are close, I am happy to eat my weight in Hatch Chile. The Morning Squeeze had several options with Chile.
I ordered the hangover bowl with scrambled eggs and both red and green Chile. It was delicious! The red Chile was the bomb!
My coworkers ordered some other amazing items and everyone was happy.
It’s located walking distance from the convention center so it was perfect. Highly recommend

Great place for a great breakfast!
Casual chic inside space and great service from Mar, at the front cash register to place and get a take out order. The chorizo breakfast burrito was big and good. A bit too much potato for me but it was delish. Loved my big OJ !

Great sandwiches and salads with fresh ingredients. Awesome people that are always friendly and genuine. They care about the food and it shows.
nice fast service, welcoming waitress, tasty food.
The place is always busy. I come here quite often , my colleagues from Smile 24 Dentistry also like this restaurant. They have a lot of tables inside and outside. Added few video 🤤

There is no handicap parking in front of restaurant, but there is valet parking if you like using that. We had to park down the side a ways and walk (and push me in my wheelchair) to restaurant entrance. Wheelchair friendly inside if it’s not crowded (it was crowded and a bit noisy when we first got there about 1:15). We were seated when our reservation time was up. Nice table. Our waiter (Ethan) was great. We ordered the short rib potstickers and crispy coconut shrimp as starters. YUM! My husband ordered the blackened fish tacos and our friend ordered the Bolognese. I ordered the Turkey French Dip and it was fabulous. The bread was my favorite part of the sandwich. I saved the sauce from the potstickers and dipped my sandwich in that to try it (Ethan thought it was a brilliant idea), plus the au jus that comes with the sandwich. Everything was excellent. We ordered the bread pudding for dessert and Connor brought out vanilla ice cream to go with it, along with the caramel ice cream that comes on top of the bread pudding. It was so good!
I had a perfectly wonderful evening here, a friend who lives in Phoenix recommended. I found the staff absolutely delightful and kind, though the clientele and design was a bit stuffy for what I can only describe as somewhat blasé cuisine.
We had the artichoke dip (standard - nothing unique) and some sushi (delightful but the rice was oddly crispy and much too large for one bite) and for my main dish I had a Thai salad which was just lumped as one big plate, lacking any presentation.
If you want GREAT food - you should go elsewhere. If you want a nice evening and are fine with a standard, upscale environment, Hillstone will pass the test.

We were in town for the weekend for a baseball game. We stayed in downtown Phoenix to be close to Chase Field. This place was walking distance from our hotel so we decided to try it. IT WAS GREAT!!
It was Sunday morning brunch and we were seated immediately! (There was NO WAIT - That never happens where we live.). The staff was so friendly, pleasant and courteous. We instantly felt welcome and comfortable. Our server gave us excellent menu and coffee recommendations. She was upbeat, positive and fun to talk to.
The coffee was hot and flavorful. It wasn't too strong or watered down. I ordered the migas with a fried egg and it was delicious. The chorizo was cooked perfectly. The chips were fresh and crunchy. It was really good. My husband got an omelet that was also very good. We actually fought over his potatoes. HA! We also ordered and shared a pancake. It was fluffy and cooked perfectly. It wasn't too dense or thick. I'm picky with pancakes and it was perfect.
We really loved Morning Squeeze and wish we had one in our hometown. Our brunch here was the favorite part of our trip. We will be back!

I get lunch here about twice a week. The owners and staff are awesome and super friendly. The cookies are always fresh and they occasionally do a chocolate cookie with raspberry filling that is soooo good!
I wanted to have a quick breakfast and just found this place during my stay in Phoenix. I ordered a veggie omelet with fruits and baggel. First, the omelet was cooked badly. Also, fruits were not fresh.
The service was great, tho. So, I give two stars for that!

Love this place! We stopped in without a reservation so there was an hour wait for the dining area but thankfully they offer a smaller menu on the patio if you chose to wait or the full menu at the bar. The bartenders were super friendly and provided great suggestions on the menu. The sushi was super fresh and the wood fired chicken was super juicy and flavorful!
We stopped in for Sunday brunch and the experience was very disappointing. Our server kept forgetting things and the food took about 35 minutes to arrive after we ordered it. Unfortunately the food was bland and the Bloody Mary tasted like straight tomato juice. The atmosphere was lively but we felt like everything was super unorganized for such a popular place.
New favorite place, lots of good options. Other than the fries being average at best everything else was real good. Highly recommend the BBQ Pork Ribs, which are apparently from Denmark, and the sushi. All my friends said they liked their food.
I was definitely pleased with the service and atmosphere. Hillstone is an upscale yet affordable location for lunch and dinner, accompanied by drinks and conversation. Their menu is rather interesting, though. I thought they would have more variety, although I was still satisfied with their options. I'm simply only being constructive. I found it interesting that they did not have ranch, truffle oil, truffle butter, biscotti for my espresso, and port wine as an after dinner drink.
Wow
This place has great sandwiches!
It’s in a building but worth the trip!

Prior to our vacation to Phoenix, we researched various dining establishments and carefully selected this particular venue as our breakfast destination for the planned day.
We eagerly ordered the southwest omelette and quiche. However, we were left disappointed by the lackluster of flavors of both dishes.
The quiche, in particular, had an unusual texture that deviated from the traditional egg-based consistency we anticipated.
Similarly, the southwest omelette failed to impress, lacking the desired kick or any distinguishing elements. Regrettably, the black beans and corn inside the omelette were hard.
On a positive note, the orange juice served at this establishment was truly exceptional, evoking a delightful sensation of freshly squeezed goodness! It’s hard to find a good orange juice.
The atmosphere was bright and inviting.
Maybe it was an off day for the cooks; it happens.

Morning Squeeze is a great place to get breakfast. This was my first time here and I was a little skeptical about it but I ended up impressed. The service was great our server was helpful with explaining the morning specials with the menu and about the variety of the menu we could mix as well with the drinks. I ended up ordering the waffle with berries. It was delicious the waffle was nice and crispy as well as the berries work fresh and juicy. Altogether it was delicious I will definitely go back to try some other items out on the menu. I do recommend this place !!!
Great experience, clean place with great welcoming staff , tasty breakfast quesadilla and fresh coffee, highly recommended
Service is great and the lunches are generous and delicious. This is a walk up shop and is a welcoming space.
Tried the SF Cuban very tasty

Best egg salad sandwich I’ve ever eaten. The food is made with love by the owners. This is the sort of awesome local business that risks being shuttered by the pandemic and too many people eating at those faceless, flavorless chains. Yes, it’s in an office building, but parking is super easy, so if you’re nearby, eat local and support this place and other local biz.
Amazing staff! Ed, Tom and Mari are awesome they are so friendly and professional. I have been going here since I've worked in the building and that's been a few years and they never disappoint :) if you're looking for a quick bite to eat (breakfast or lunch) here is your spot! You must try their breakfast quesadillas and any sandwich is delicious!
