Warning - This is NOT a food 27 restaurant. Salmon was clearly frozen and tough to chew, scallops were fishy, food overall was covered in salt, and the service so slow that the disappointing chef's tasting menu took us 3 hours to endure. Then they make you pay 18% service charge!!! Stick to somewhere like Cibo in downtown Phoenix for one quarter of the price, better service and food that hasnt gone bad, or come out of the freezer.

Tucked away on a little farm, this restaurant is a hidden treasure. Almost all of the food is grown on the farm or purchased from local farmers. The servers can tell you were every single ingredient came from. The food is fresh and well prepared. Order the Farmer's Feast and get ready for an exquisite culinary experience!

Given Phoenix' extraordinarily long growing season, an upscale locavore restaurant here is a no-brainer; the surprise is that they absolutely nail it. Top-notch food, with preparations rooted in France and Italy (the charcuterie is worth the trip on its own), a good all-domestic wine list with most bottles under $100. Formal, but friendly service. And above all, the most lovely setting imaginable. Can't wait to return. NB it is very pricey.

NJSeriousFoodie and friends overall enjoyed this rather unusual restaurant - a high-end farmers' market setting, using local fresh ingredients. We did the tasting menu, curious to try as much of the menu as possible. Some of the courses really hit the mark (antipasto and pasta dishes were outstanding), and others had us guessing (especially the rather tepid desserts). But very pricey versus experience.

Walked out after waiting 15-20 minutes for a waitperson after having been seated and presented with menus and the wine list.. Never acknowledged by any wait staff in any manner whatsoever. Should have read the poor service reviews rather than just focusing on food scores. Very disappointing and a ruin of a Saturday evening. A real shame.
