I seriously cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. My wife and I came here for the first time and were blown away by the service, atmosphere, and quality of food. We opted for the five course chefs choice, and it was incredible! Each of us received different plates from the menu and had a lot of fun trying the variety of what they had to offer. My wife typically doesn’t like beef tartare, but that ended up being one of her favorite plates of the dinner. I can’t recommend this enough and can’t wait to go back!

Great spot – lots of vegetarian options. The mushroom lasagna was one of the highlights

Everything from the food to service was so perfect! This restaurant had so many local ingredients and flavorful menu items.
I highly recommend doing their “Chef’s Choice” 5 course menu. I did this with my husband and the 5 courses were different for each of us! I loved this because you got to try different menu items. Their chicken is so tender and juicy and it will be the best chicken you’ll ever have. I loved the daily stuffed pasta too because the sweet potato with the homemade pasta made it for that home cooked feeling providing that fall flavor profile that warms your insides.
Chais was such an amazing waitress and so friendly! Loved how she provided her recommendations and was so welcoming and kind. It is casual on the inside yet felt upscale without the stuffiness
Highly recommend for a nice dinner, date, or special occasion

So, my friend and I went there after he heard about them through another friend! And it was some of the best food I’ve had in my 32 years of life! We each did the
“Leave it to the kitchen” and as such, we both got five courses different from each other, and each more tasty than the last!
Perfect amount of interaction with the staff, all very pleasant and friendly and wildly knowledgeable on their menu

Restaurant Progress blew us away. Sat at the bar with amazing cocktails (bartender was on point) and did the tasting menu. Every course was excellent, and they even adjusted one dish for my wife. Oysters and cocktails = must order. Easily a 5-star spot in Phoenix.

Everything was fantastic! I went with a group of friends, and since we all love guava, the bartender crafted a unique guava-based drink for each of us and every one of them was delicious. My favorite dishes were the crudo and the kabocha tortelli. Romantic ambience will bring my husband back for date night.

We enjoyed our experience at the restaurant, especially the wine area where we were seated, offering privacy and an impressive selection of wines. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about wine. We highly recommend the chef’s tasting menu so you get to try different dishes that are offered at the restaurant. You can also request specific dishes to ensure you don’t miss out on any favorites.

I’d like to start by saying that everyone we were in contact with on this night was so kind & warm. We made a reservation for a patio table in August but the temp was just right with the fan on. Our server was knowledgeable on drinks & the food. The food came out in a timely manner & I loved that every component was seasoned or had it’s own flavor to contribute. Pictures of what we had are posted. The only gripe we had was a minimal desert menu (2 options I think?). We would def go back & we would def recommend to friends

Individuals dishes are incredibly tasty. But the menu does not lend itself to combining available dishes into a cohesive meal. Also the staff is incredibly nice sometimes, forgets you are there other times, then condescending other times. Our last two dishes didn’t arrive for a long time, during which no one communicated with us or even offered us water. The final dishes were tasty but no one apologised or even acknowledged that there’d been a problem. For that reason alone I doubt we’d come back again, despite the great flavors. But if you’re not in a rush give them a try. It’s entirely possible we just had an unlucky night and your experience could be much smoother.
