The 38 Best Restaurants in Phoenix | Eater Phoenix
"The only restaurant in Phoenix with five diamonds from AAA and five stars from Forbes, Kai (which means “seed” in the Pima language) sits in the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass on Gila River Community land. Its expanse of windows overlooks the desert, and its menu is rife with Native American-influenced dishes and Indigenous ingredients — many grown by the community on nearby land. Here, local products are transformed into elegant representations of the diverse culinary cultures of the Southwest. Case in point: grilled tenderloin of American Bison served with 60-day corn puree, oxtail and scarlet runner bean cassoulet, cholla buds, and saguaro blossom syrup. For the full experience, opt for the multi-course tasting menu ($185 per person, $330 per person with wine pairings). Notable for: One of the most distinctive dining experiences in the country — Indigenous-led, rooted in storytelling, and unlike anywhere else in Arizona." - McConnell Quinn
