Amanda’s Guidebook - Central Phoenix Edition
My Favorite Restaurant
I love the ambiance and the Thai Steak Salad is to die for! It is a little pricey, but service and food quality make it worth it!
Dress Code: No tank tops, hats or sports wear for men. Ladies, you can get away with most anything, but definitely be mindful of the fact that if they have a dress code, it's a nice place.
