Best Restaurants in Phoenix
We eat out a lot and tend to go to all the new restaurants that open up in Phoenix and Scottsdale. Between that and my photography I set up phoenixeatsout.com to record the photos and impressions of the local restaurants.

The best restaurant in Phoenix is Postino. There is one in Arcadia, and another in downtown. Awesome bruschetta and wine selection. The restaurant is very popular with women during happy hour.

Next best restaurant is AZ88. The crowd there moves from the greyhairs and snowbirds in early evening to a hipster and gay crowd as the night progresses. Very good food, there is revolving art on display and the ambiance is excellent. Great place to hang out.

Third would be Bomberos. It is up by Sunny Slope on Central and relatively new. It has excellent food and a really relaxing wine bar style environment. It is an enjoyable place to eat, drink and wind down.

There are plenty of other good ones though; Orange Table, Grazie, Fez, Tuckshop ...

Restaurant review of Radio Milano

Lisa G's restaurant on 7th St in Central Phoenix. It is a nice mix of light food and wine in a modernist setting.

Radio Milano is from the same group of restaurants as Le Grande Orange, Postinos and Chelsea's Kitchen. It has slightly more expensive food than Postinos and is also heavier food, rather than Bruschetta and Sandwiches. We wanted to go to Postinos but there was a long wait and we overflowed into Radio Milano which isn't as busy. It is a nice restaurant and worth being in the wider rotation.

We went to Coup Des Tartes last night for dinner. It is set in a house with an outdoor seating area. The cramped nature of the 50's style house reminded me of the restaurants in Kurmond, Kurrajong and other parts of the Blue Mountains. Far is more traditional than the light style of the modernist Phoenix restaurants. I had lamb shank. The food was excellent. Not a restaurant I would go to every week or fortnight but certainly one adding to the longer cycles.
