9 Phoenix Restaurants Serving Splurge-Worthy Meals
"With help from general manager Christian Giles, husband-and-wife team Kevin and Amy Binkley do the heavy lifting themselves at their charming restaurant, housed in a bungalow fronted by Amy’s flower and vegetable garden. With its three-man crew and only 20 seats in the dining room, the experience is both intimate and reminiscent of theater as Binkley prepares and plates each dish in full view of his guests. More importantly, Binkley’s modern American food is stunning — a wildly creative mix of seasonal dishes, each as beautiful as it is delicious. Imagine a summer menu rendering tomatoes in every conceivable fashion, or a winter menu glorifying truffles in the form of whipped potatoes, black truffle gnocchi, and white and black truffle potato-leek soup. The $240 per person prix fixe menu generally runs to about 12 courses and the meal takes just under three hours to complete. Add-ons abound, including wagyu beef, Osetra caviar, and foie gras, while wine pairings cost an additional $200 per person." - Nikki Buchanan
