Restaurants near Phoenix Civic Plaza

I'm glad I made a reservation. For a Monday night dinner the place was very busy. Service was slow, food didn't arrive "hot" but more on the lukewarm side. Other tables seemed to place their orders and received their meals fairly quickly.

Nice ambiance sort of a blend of hunting lodge and mid century. Lively but not too loud, could talk comfortably. Service was solid for fine dining. Food was good and creative but slightly salty really enjoyed the experience overall

Had downtown plans and went here when they opened for Easter Brunch! Food came out quick and fresh, and the drinks had a ton of flavor. Not an espresso martini person, but this one included Latin ingredients and was very flavorful! Make sure to get an order of the chips with any dip, for they are a necessity. Service was amazing! If you are parking in cityscape underneath the plaza, be sure to bring your ticket to the hostess and they will be able to waiver the fee for 2 hours!

We had a fantastic Easter brunch at Carcara! The food was delicious with a wide variety, and the assortment of desserts were a standout—beautifully done with even gluten-free options available. The entertainment was great, and the Easter Bunny was there for photos, which made it extra special for the kids. They also loved the cookie decorating station! Overall, the value was excellent for the quality of food and the fun activities. We’ll definitely return for future holiday events!

Amazing Food, Amazing Service, Amazing Restaurant!
