T. Cook's at Royal Palms Resort & Spa

Phoenix’s Best Hotel Restaurants | Eater Phoenix

"T. Cook’s anchors the Royal Palms Resort and Spa, a historic Phoenix property with Mediterranean architecture and roots dating back to 1929. Originally a personal residence before expanding into a storied hotel, Royal Palms is full of cozy seating arrangements and fireplaces around the property, with little alcoves that welcome rest and relaxation. T. Cook’s carries that theme of elegant comfort within its walls, complete with high-back chairs easy to sink into. The menu is seasonally driven and offerings can rotate — be sure to keep an eye on the homemade pasta options. Starters for any table should include focaccia with T. Cook’s delightfully garlicky pesto and a simple Caesar salad reimagined with marinated tomatoes and a green goddess dressing. Save room for dessert with items like salted caramel corn profiteroles and a limoncello creme brulee. Finally, book a spot on the patio for stunning views of Camelback Mountain." - Asonta Benetti
