We enjoyed our time at The Compass. Loved the changing views of the city. The food was delicious and the servers were very attentive. My glass was never empty for long. Our order:
French onion soup: 8/10
Chicken Confit: 10/10
Steak Frites: 10/10
Duck:10/10
Mushrooms: 10/10
Pommes Puree (mashed potatoes): 6/10 is my rating but he thought they were 10/10

The view is absolutely the reason we booked Compass in Phoenix, and I will say the experience of arriving at the restaurant and being seated was really nice. The atmosphere and scenery definitely set the tone.
That said, there were a few things that fell short of what I typically expect from a four- or five-star dining experience. There was no complimentary champagne, wine, bread, or appetizer offered, which was a bit surprising. After being seated, the staff did come by with the drink menu fairly quickly, so that part was smooth.
Unfortunately, the service took a turn once our food arrived. One of the waiters spilled sauce onto my friend Aurora’s shoe, and the stain did not come out. Initially, the waiter did not want to take accountability, despite the fact that she never touched the plate. When the manager came over, she implied that my friend may have spilled the sauce herself, which was frustrating. It wasn’t until she saw Aurora in the bathroom trying to remove the stain that she seemed to realize what had actually happened. We even noticed a trail of sauce from the plate, likely due to the lighting being a bit dim, which further supported what occurred.
As for the food: my steak was absolutely amazing, and the drinks were good. The dessert, however, was a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal.
Overall, the view and main course were highlights, but the lack of small touches and the way the service issue was handled impacted the experience. I’m not sure I’d return, but it wasn’t terrible. I’d rate my overall experience a solid 3 out of 5.

If you’re looking for a place to celebrate something meaningful, or just want a beautiful night out, The Compass is a fantastic choice. My boyfriend and I celebrated our 2-year anniversary here and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The rotating dining room gave us breathtaking panoramic views of downtown Phoenix and the surrounding mountains. The food was amazing and full of flavor. Our server was attentive but not overbearing, and they even surprised us with a special dessert to celebrate our anniversary. We’ll definitely be back!

My wife and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary at Compass , and the entire experience was unforgettable. The atmosphere was intimate, elegant, and perfect for a special occasion, with an incredible view that made the night feel even more meaningful. The wine was excellent, the steak was the best steak I’ve ever had, and the ricotta appetizer is a must. Matt was an amazing server—attentive, friendly, and made our anniversary feel truly special. We will definitely be back.

My husband took me here for a celebratory night. I really hate to do this but unfortunately the food was so bad I have to let others know. My steak was lukewarm, half of it was fat, fries were cold and my husband’s ribeye was mostly fat and the “risotto” was straight up unseasoned plain rice. The atmosphere is amazing and the service was fine no complaints but it’s unfortunately really bad food. I think Applebee’s might have served a better steak.

We came to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, and the atmosphere was horrible!!!!! There was a table (next to us) with 4 women who were screaming and using bad language. We asked the waitress if she could speak to them to lower their voices since we were expecting a romantic and quiet evening and they keep screaming, it actually felt like a circus with 4 hyenas laughing and swearing at the top of their lungs. To make matters worse, at that table there was a woman who took off her shoes and put her feet on the chair—it was truly disgusting. The worst part is that the staff couldn’t do anything and our special night was ruined!!!! now when we remember our 5th anniversary I will always have a bitter memory.
Ps: the woman on the pink flowered dress was saying (screaming loud) she is with a married man, if you know her and she knows your man BE CAREFUL!! Could be you lol. She’s asking her “boyfriend” to get divorce. That loud they were talking, swearing and laughing we all know her business now.

Service was awesome and I loved the vibe especially coming when it’s sunset! It was lovely. The food was very mid for how much you spend. I’m assuming they’re charging mostly for the experience. Spent 2 anniversaries here about 10 years apart and I still didn’t really feel like the food has improved. Dessert is incredible though!

We came here to enjoy the scenery and our Anniversary. We had reservations and were seated immediately. We enjoyed the scenery and the rotating floor takes 1 hour to take you back to where you were. The Service was out of this world, almost like we had 1 person to pour our drinks and another to serve us our meal. We had a “Happy Anniversary” card on our table which was great. Julian and Isabella were Outstanding their service!! We both had the NY Strip steak with veggies and potatoes. So delicious and the steak was juicy. The Manager and Host kept coming over to see how we were doing which was very thoughtful. The scenery was Awesome!!!! This is on top of the Hyatt Regency so we decided this will be an annual location for our Anniversary and then spend the night in the Hyatt Regency. We can’t wait for next year now. Beautiful atmosphere! Thank you for making this evening great!

Food looks and taste good. My steak, creamed potato, and shrimp came out cold. When they took it back the recooked my steak, which took it from medium to well done. Great ambiance and views, but definitely not worth the prices they changing for this experience. The land and sea came with 3 shrimps. Manager Michelle was not very useful at all.

Had an amazing evening here celebrating our anniversary. The hostess greeted us with happy anniversary when she sat us. The food was incredible and the view was outstanding. We were treated to a special dessert for our anniversary as well. Be sure to add notes about why you’re dining, the special touches are so worth it.
