Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in North Central Phoenix

I’ve been coming to T Cook’s for special occasions for nearly 40 years and it’s always an excellent experience all around. Like coming home, but better.

Lobster tempura, rock shrimp, warm mushroom salad, and yellowtail sashimi were amazing. The sushi was well above average. The atmosphere was great, the servers (even those passing by) were phenomenal. The one sticky point: The Nobo-rita is a very good drink but $65 is double its value. Overall, I'll be back and I'll bring others.

Really great experience at this restaurant. The server (can’t remember his name) from NY was outstanding and made the experience memorable. Loved the Baja tacos and the pumpkin bread pudding.

Hostess and staff were great and very helpful! Food was outstanding

Spectacular 7-course seasonal tasting menu of perfectly-prepared, artfully-presented small dishes with an overall theme of The Alps. This was a wonderful gourmet meal without being overly pretentious (i.e., no over-the-top molecular gastronomy or long stories about impossibly-sourced ingredients you've never heard of). Rather, Chef Oppold and his team led us on a culinary journey through the Alpine regions of Switzerland, Austria, Bavaria and Tyrol, with creative interpretations of familiar foods of the region.
