Glenrosa

Best New Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona, Spring 2025 | Eater Phoenix

"Glenrosa may have a Mill Ave address but it is worlds away from the frat bar circuit down the road. This golf course restaurant trades tired country club tropes for striking pueblo-style interiors and a menu rooted in border town flavors. Two-time James Beard semifinalist Samantha Sanz tapped fellow Victor Davila to help curate a wood-fired menu that nods to her Nogales upbringing; tacos dorados with chile Colorado beef, family-style grilled meats, and a riff on the Tijuana-born Caesar with baby romaine, heirloom tomatoes, smoked chile bread crumbs, and Manchego. The bar reimagines golf club staples, too, with drinks like the Madrina, a jalapeño-spiked dirty martini, and the Grassy Palmer, made with SanTan peach bourbon and iced tea. The restaurant is still finding its rhythm but early signs point to it being one of the Valley’s most exciting new dining rooms." - McConnell Quinn
