"Christopher's is a French-inspired restaurant located at Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Perched on the edge of a hilltop and attached to the graceful, 90-year-old Wrigley Mansion, Christopher’s is the city’s most dazzling restaurant. Minimalist and modern without being cold, the dramatic dining room offers 180-degree views of the city, an experience upstaged only by James Beard award-winning chef Christopher Gross’s modern French cooking. The prix fixe, eight-course tasting menu (starting at $275 per person) is a two- or three-hour fete of opulent ingredients, filled with surprises in service and presentation. Wine pairings run an additional $230 per person, which is pricy, no doubt, but Christopher’s and Wrigley Mansion share one of the biggest and best wine cellars in the state. Best for: Special occasions with multi-course tasting menus, thoughtful wine pairings, and sweeping views from a hilltop mansion." - McConnell Quinn
"Set in a sleek glass-and-steel building, Christopher’s contrasts with the nearly 100-year-old Wrigley Mansion that houses it. The restaurant offers a multi-course tasting menu crafted by James Beard Award-winning chef Christopher Gross, a culinary legend in the Valley. Dishes like Miyazaki A5 wagyu with béarnaise and Westholme wagyu carpaccio highlight the chef’s expertise, while the master sommelier Mark Guillaudeu handles the wine pairings." - McConnell Quinn

"Perhaps the last act in the storied career of a renowned old-school Phoenix chef, Christopher’s manages to offer top-tier food and scene. The eatery perches on a high hill above the city lights of downtown Phoenix and the far purple sweep of mountains. Two nights a week, chef Christopher Gross rolls out French-leaning classics from his career, dishes like foie gras terrine, sauteed duck, smoked salmon. Gross, though, has a mind that motors to new places. Thursday through Saturday, he serves his winding, abstract tasting menu, which allows him to shift into a more creative gear. The tasting menu sees foie gras turned to soup, that duck aged seven days and plated with sherry gastrique, chocolate towers, and even enigmatic menu listings like “something cool” and “mignardise, mignardise, mignardise.” Christopher’s is an experience in many ways." - Lizbeth Scordo, Chris Malloy
