Phoenix’s Best Hotel Restaurants | Eater Phoenix
"On the outside, the Phoenician’s J&G Steakhouse could be couched as just another hotel steakhouse, but that would do both the restaurant and its chef a disservice. The view alone is worth a reservation; the restaurant’s location in the hotel provides a sweeping scene of the entire Valley. J&G’s namesake, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, has left his mark on the French-leaning menu, while executive chef Jacques Qualin has continued to execute the offerings at the highest level. Yes, the steaks are excellent, and there are plenty of options available, from grass fed filets to a prime porterhouse, with a lamb T-bone thrown in for good measure. But don’t discount classics like seared scallops or Alaskan red king crab along with a host of filling steakhouse sides. The potato gratin with comte is rich and decadent, as are the black truffle cheese fritters. For something lighter, start with the tuna tartare, which has an almost drinkable ginger marinade." - Asonta Benetti
