We spent Spring Break in Phoenix and ate out at a few delicious restaurants. It got me thinking about some of the great food we have had recently and some restaurants we want to try. I thought I would throw out a little review of some of our favorite places to eat in hopes that you will return the favor and let us know of some of your favorite eateries.

Simply Thai
I can’t get enough of this place lately. They offer a great lunch menu for $6.99, come on where can you eat great food these days for $6.99! I always get the gang massaman, why you ask, because it’s DELICIOUS. They are also located in Sandy which is super close to work.

Copper Onion
We have only eaten here once but I can’t stop talking about how good it was. It has a great atmosphere and made us feel like we were in New York City. Whenever Andrea and I go out we like to share a meal so that we can also try an appetizer and usually some dessert. We started off with mussels with a creamy black pepper sauce that is by far the most delicious sauce I have ever tasted in my life. I could have put it in a cup and drank it! Next we went for the wagyu (not sure what that even means) beef stroganoff. I’m usually not a big fan of beef stroganoff but this dish definitely changed my mind. 

Stella Grill 
This place never disappoints. They are owned by the same people who own Red Butte Cafe and their menus are quite similar. We usually hit Stella’s just because it is closer to our house. I always get the carne asada tacos. They also have some great desserts to finish off your meal.

Epic
This restaurant is located in a bit of random spot but it’s so good. Andrea and I always share a flat bread, Ken’s salad with baby mixed greens, roasted tomato vinaigrette, apples, the best house dried tomatoes, and fontina cheese & candied pecans. Next we move to the main course which is usually grilled beef tenderloin with port reduction, blue cheese butter and shallot herb mashed potatoes. Sometimes we get the ahi tuna which is also fantastic.

Well, those are some of our favorites. Here is a list of ones we want to try.
Plum Alley
Vuz
Les Madeleines (I’ve eaten here and love it but I need to take Andrea)

Alright, help us out with this list and let us know some of your favorite places to eat.
