Best Casual Restaurants in Central Phoenix

This was our 4th visit to Pyro and it did not disappoint. Brought some out of town friends who thought the meal from beginning to end was sheer perfection. We were guided by our very knowledgeable server, Fiona, and she did a great job describing and suggesting different items. This is a great place to do a shared meal. Do not miss the sides, especially the green beans and the sweet potatoes! 

Always fresh and delicious. Comfort food and wine at a comfortable venue. Chef Beckett’s team are always welcoming and he’s rocking it in the kitchen.

We had a chance to meet friends / colleagues who were in Phoenix for a family event. We wanted to meet at a place where we could have a conversation while enjoying great food and a wonderful overall experience. The service team, the team in the kitchen, the feeling connected to the restaurant, along with every contact point is designed to deliver consistent results. My first experience at Lon's was in 2006, and it remains my favorite place for this experience. All the best to each of you!

Wasn’t expecting much as it’s a new highly anticipated concept in a very competitive market but I was blown away by the food, service, decor and ambiance. Well done all around. Clear elements of proper training, well curated menu that is not overdone - simple and approachable with an emphasis on quality and flavor. Staff is professional- refined dining experience without the stuffiness. Decor is top notch- felt like an elevated beach house in the desert. Consistency will need to be the name of the game from this point forward…can they sustain the same quality in all aspects going forward…not sure but will definitely be back in the hopes it does.

We like the breakfast/brunch very much! Dinner not so. At least in for our dinner, more than 2 times our food was ok. But breakfast, coffee and pastry are really good! Service is always good, too.
