Petite creme brûlée
Jennica S.

The Global Ambassador is doing it right. I've been to Théa three times, the lobby bar, and it was only right to go to Le Ame. What made the dinner that much better was their $35 steak frites special. I have nothing but positive things to say. The restaurant itself is beautiful! I always love open kitchen concepts because seeing the chefs in action is always amazing. It felt very moody and romantic with the candlelight dinner, dim lighting and dark colors. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth perfection and I upgraded to the truffle fries, which I do not regret one bit. The one thing I do regret is not eating more of them, considering the fries were endless. The meal also started with a crisp and light salad that had a dressing I could probably drink. My boyfriend and I wanted to order some appetizers, but I'm glad we didn't because by the end of the meal, we were full. I did order the petite creme brûlée though, which was not petite at all. It was huge and only priced at $9... that felt illegal. Our waitress had a very calming presence and she was lovely! I can't remember her name but it started with a "T" and she had pretty, curly hair. I think the manager was walking around, asking how everyone was doing too, which is always great. We definitely want to come back to try more of the menu, and probably take his parents here too!

Chicken Caesar Wrap and Truffle Fries
Samantha M.

Beautiful space + 5-star service! First time trying Le Âme at The Global Ambassador, and it was a great spot for a business lunch. The space is absolutely gorgeous and has that elevated, sophisticated feel you'd expect from the Global Ambassador. Service was truly 5-star from start to finish. I've had the Caesar salad at the lobby bar plenty of times, so I was excited to try the Chicken Caesar Wrap--and it was just as delicious! The French onion soup was good, although it was a little too rich and a bit heavy on the wine flavor for my taste. Overall, a beautiful setting, excellent service, and a great lunch experience. I'll definitely be back!

Espresso martini

Came here for a celebratory brunch after graduating grad school and we had a lovely time. The restaurant is gorgeous and tables are well spaced. Cocktails were delicious, as were the steak frites and my family both enjoyed their meals as well. The hit though was the dessert. I'm already a sucker for crème brûlée, and I loved it, but my family isn't big on dessert, the the sticky toffee pudding had them in heaven.

Escargot (old version, absolute fav) still craving this!

Where do I begin? This place is OUTSTANDING The service is top notch and every single employee is on top of it. I've been several times as I'm starting to become a regular. The ambiance of the place overall is so nice. It's located inside Global Ambassador Hotel. It offers indoor and outdoor seating. No misters outside so plan on that. They also validate parking, as well as having valet out front. Before I talk about how yummy the food is, I want to give a huge shout out to Shamitt, I believe it was the manager of the evening. He checked on tables to make sure everyone was satisfied. Even when our table had a minor hiccup, he made sure to turn the whole evening around and top it off (which wasn't needed but that's how they are, always going above and beyond). Every waitress or waiter I've had is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Just this alone makes me want to come back every time. Now about the food. Words don't do it justice. You have to come by and try it for yourself! I always order the escargot they did recently change it from a savory version back in May, to now it's a lemony, breadcrumb, light version. Both versions are delicious (maybe offer both?). This particular evening I was there for the steak frites dinning menu....WORTH IT! It's silly not to order this. The steak is a decent size and you get lots of fries. My table and I split the steak frites menu and order a few things from the appetizers and we were stuffed. Not a lot of places have a good dessert menu...but this place does! Everything on the dessert menu I've had, and I would get them all again. Overall, you can't go wrong here! Everything checks the boxes. They will be seeing me again, and again!

Croissants
Sharonda H.

Such a cute morning hangout spot inside the Global Ambassador. There's a small outdoor seating space when it's hot, and spread out seating inside. At the bar, at the tables, or in the big plush lounge seating. The must-get is the cinnamon roll croissant. Delicious. I wasn't a fan of the coffee, way too strong. I had regular drip coffee with cream and sugar.

Birthday Card
Joneice B.

Had a wonderful dining experience at this establishment for my birthday. I was able to make a reservation online and our table was available upon arrival. They were really sweet and put us at a booth with candlelight and ambience was just pretty romantic. This restaurant really made me feel special on my birthday. I really enjoyed that they gave me a handwritten card and everyone was just very happy to be there. Our server was a delight and I would definitely come back here. For the food, we both end up ordering steak and frites as it was an offering on that evening and included unlimited fries. My husband could not get enough of this. He also got the truffle fries which were flavored just right. My steak was done perfectly and the flavor was just right. We also were able to have some drinks and our server was able to score us some beer from a nearby establishment that was on tap that was delicious. The icing on top of the evening is that they gave me a complementary crème brûlée for my birthday and it was very good. I'm not even a big crème brûlée person, but the char on top of the crème brûlée was so crispy and so caramelized that you could not resist eating that entire thing. All in all, I would definitely come back here. I would love to try some of the other items on the menu. Plus the espresso smelled amazing. I will say that this is a place you should get a reservation for because it was very busy. But the experience itself was perfect and just looking at all the cute outfits that the staff was wearing was a vibe. Btw the robust amount of management that came by to check on our table was authentic. It just ensured that they were about you having a good experience. This Parisian restaurant is located inside of the global ambassador so you are able to valet your car or you can also park in the nearby garage. This happened to be our third time here and we were not aware that we could get validation for parking in the nearby garage.

Ravioli
Zachary K.

Le Âme at The Global Ambassador was a great date night spot. The room is dark, polished, and upscale without feeling too formal. We started with the French onion soup and ricotta ravioli, and both were excellent. The soup was rich with a perfectly browned cheese top, and the ravioli was simple but really well balanced. The Wagyu Bolognese was probably my favorite dish of the night. The sauce had a deep flavor, the pasta held it well, and the grilled garlic bread on the side was a nice touch. Service was attentive, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the food lived up to the setting. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to for a nicer dinner in the Valley.

steak tartare
Jessica L.

Went here for my birthday dinner! We had a reservation for 8 people and they gave us a private room. The room was a really nice touch for the night. Our server was so lovely and really personable. The steak tartare was good and i loved the bread that came with it, it was perfectly toasted with butter. The star of the show was the truffle roasted chicken, the chicken wasn't dry at all and it was paired with a savory, little sweet sauce, I highly recommend. I will definitely be coming back.

What a lovely dinner experience. Food is always phenomenal!
Crystal R.

I know I've reviewed this place before, but it's always SO amazing! it gets better every time ! Great atmosphere, great service, and great food every single time! The burger was probably the softest burger I've ever had, it literally melted in my mouth! The fries were good, just way too salty for me. But the sweet corn is my absolute FAVORITE! I would honestly come here just for that haha! The truffle bread was also good with a slightly sweet taste. The fish was super good too! Such a great grilled/charred flavor. you really can't beat it here in AZ! Everything is very clean, welcoming, and high-class. And they have valet, which is probably my favorite part haha! Ooo, and they have Acqua Panna! So refreshing! Definitely a place worth visiting, but reservations are needed!

Steak and fries

We LOVE Le Ame. The staff is so kind and amazing, extremely tentative. It was our anniversary and they made us feel so special. Our table ordered duck fat hashbrowns, skirt steak & fries and dessert. Can't wait to some back to this restaurant

Breanna S.

My girls & I went on a Monday night for girls dinner and it was amazing. You get a salad, steak and unlimited fries. Tasted phenomenal! We ended the night with their smaller version of crème brûlée, don't skip this! Service was great and the late night vibes were vibing with perfect lighting. A little loud at times since it was so busy but that just means it's the place to be! I recommend getting reservations a few weeks in advance.

Devin K.

UPDATE on my review: I went here for brunch and I'm disappointed at how beautiful the hotel is and the coffee is just meh. I even ordered a second latte in hopes the first one was just a mess up but they both were tasteless, watery and not elevated given it's a very expensive hotel. The quiche was very good but salad was eh as well. It was just spring mix tossed with olive oil. They do validate parking if you park in the parking garage but I would skip out on the coffee bar here.

Prime Rib Dip
Crystal P.

Holy smokes - this is a meal I'll be wanting again and again. Recently visited on a breakfast date and decided to truly indulge. The service was stellar from the get-go, and we were quickly seated and tended to. The coffee was flavorful and yet not overly sweet, which paired great once our savory meal arrived. The duck fat hashbrowns are out of this world and I wish these could be my breakfast more often. The crispy exterior pairs so well with the delicate and gooey interior. Not to mention the sauce it is paired with is amazing. We split the French dip and eggs Benedict which was more than enough food for two. We followed up the meal with sticky toffee pudding which brought the whole experience to a perfect closing. Our server was attentive and helpful in terms of providing suggestions on pairings. We will definitely be back!

Drink menu. They have zero proof drinks too

Steak 44 was an exceptional experience from the moment we arrived!…read moreMy date and I pulled up for valet parking, and the evening already felt special. Upon entering, we were greeted by a beautiful display of wine bottles that immediately caught my attention. The atmosphere was elegant, intimate, and sophisticated, setting the tone for a wonderful evening. We settled in for cocktails, delicious food, and great conversation. I ordered a martini and the filet mignon, prepared medium-well with truffle butter. We also enjoyed mashed potatoes, potatoes au gratin, roasted Brussels sprouts, and a beet salad. Now, let's talk about that beet salad! Absolutely EVERYTHING! The colorful beets, fresh greens, and cheese made for such a delightful combination. It was easily one of my favorite dishes of the evening. The potatoes au gratin were equally delicious, and the entire meal felt wonderfully indulgent. But what truly elevated our evening was the service. Our server was absolutely AMAZING! She was attentive, gracious, and made every moment feel effortless. I genuinely appreciated how she anticipated our needs and wouldn't let me lift a finger. That level of care and attention transformed an already beautiful dinner into a complete luxury dining experience. Steak 44 understands that exceptional dining goes beyond what's served on the plate. It's the atmosphere, the presentation, the hospitality, and those thoughtful touches that make an evening memorable. My experience? A solid 10/10! Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a romantic night out, Steak 44 delivers an experience worth savoring. I would absolutely return!

I've lived in Arizona for three years, and I've never experienced anything quite like what happened…read moretonight at Steak 44. My friend and I arrived dressed nicely, only to be stopped and told that her outfit violated the restaurant's dress code because it was considered "athletic wear." She was wearing a tasteful white two-piece pants set, nothing revealing or inappropriate. The gentleman who approached us, whom I assume was a manager, initially refused to let us dine. Rather than argue, she showed him why it wasn't and then we politely thanked him and walked away. As we left, my friend immediately expressed how uncomfortable and singled out the interaction made her feel. Approximately two minutes later, the same gentleman came outside and told us he would make an exception "this time" because we seemed like nice people. That statement only made the situation more insulting. If the dress code was truly the issue, what suddenly changed? And why did whether we seemed like "nice people" determine if we were welcome? Under normal circumstances, we would have taken our business elsewhere. However, my friend had driven an hour specifically to enjoy one of her favorite restaurants, and it was already 9:30 p.m. What should have been an enjoyable evening turned into an uncomfortable experience that affected the entire night between her and I and ultimately caused it to end early. I won't speculate about the reasoning behind our treatment, but I will say that what we experienced, especially compared with other guests we observed, left us questioning whether the "dress code" was being truly the reason we were disrespected. I've always heard great things about Steak 44, and I appreciate the restaurant's reputation for excellent food and service. Unfortunately, my very first visit left me feeling disappointed, disrespected, and unwelcome. Fine dining should come with high standards, but those standards should be applied consistently and respectfully to every guest. No one should be made to feel that they have to earn the right to be treated with dignity.

We sent back the scallops and the chef agreed with us and got shrimp as a replacement.

When we first entered the restaurant we were warmly welcomes by several members of the staff. We let them know that we had a reservation and we were seated quickly. You definitely need to make a reservation. The restaurant is quaint. It has bar seating for eight and about seven tables. We definitely love the warm and cozy vibe. Another huge contributing factor of the intimate setting was the fire grill that you can see from pretty much anywhere in the restaurant. To drink, I had the Cantarito. It was a mixture of. Milagro reposado, charred citrus juice, lime, and ginger which was garnished with dried slices of citrus. It was spectacular! My husband chose a bottle of Mexican Coke. We started with the Embered Elote and the cucumber salad. The Elote was fire roasted corn on the cob with a delicious crema, and spicy sauce garnished with queso. The cucumber salad was super unique, and the combination of flavors were absolutely delightful. it was made up of cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, tomatillo vinaigrette, and queso. For dinner, we shared the Shorties. Bone in short ribs season to perfection and the squeeze of lime on top pushed the flavor over the edge. Everything we had at this restaurant was fantastic.

The menu isn't big but we had a hard time choosing since everything looked good. We decided on the elote with bone marrow, hamachi crudo and Pollo asado. I have to say the elote/bone marrow combo is life changing. My husband isn't a fan of elote but he could not stop raving about this dish. It was rich without feeling heavy. The hamachi crudo was SPICY but in the most addicting way. We didn't think it could get better,but the pollo asado was amazing. I prefer dark meat, but had a piece of the breast and it was so juicy. The rajas and frijoles were flavorful. But the best thing on the plate were the quesadillas. I wish they offered it separately. We would've ordered another plate they were that good! The portions were so big, that we ended up taking the rest of the asado to go. We ended up bringing it all the way back to NYC 3 days later and it tasted even better! I loved the whole vibe of the place. Yes, it's tiny but it made you feel like you were eating at a friend's house. The staff were friendly and patient (especially since we were so indecisive). We tried 2 cocktails which were tasty. We wanted to try more but were soooo full. We did try the sweet potato dessert which was nice but I really was too full to enjoy. I'm already planning a trip back to Phoenix so I can eat here again!

The crudo had a lovely layered taste, just delicious. The tartare was not traditional, Asian influences but perfectly balanced. The Burrata was sexy, luxurious and delicious, that extra sourdough was a must. The crowning moment came with the bolognese, man was that good! Rich, tasty and perfectly cooked pasta!. I wish we would have room for desert! I'm sure they would have been just great! Everyone was super attentive, ensured we had drinks, water and food. They even seat people so they aren't on top of each other! So thoughtful! Michelin mentioned them on their path, huge honor for Pretty Penny. Congratulations to the entire team! They made our anniversary dinner truly special & memorable!

My wife and I visited Pretty Penny for our anniversary dinner, and the food was outstanding. The…read moresourdough bread with bone marrow butter was the best we've ever had. The sweet potatoes were amazing, and the steak medallions were mouthwatering and so tender I didn't even need a knife. Our champagne and Old Fashioned were wonderful as well. The atmosphere, décor, and noise level were great, and the staff was generally attentive and knowledgeable. They also acknowledged our anniversary with a complimentary glass of wine for each of us, which we appreciated. The food and overall experience felt worth the price. What kept this from being a five-star review was how our reservation was handled. Despite making a reservation in advance, there wasn't a table available when we arrived, and we were offered counter seating instead. For an anniversary dinner, I wanted to sit across from my wife, look at her, and enjoy our evening together. Sitting side by side at a counter wasn't the experience I had planned. After I expressed my disappointment to my wife within earshot of our waitress, we were moved to a table shortly afterward. I appreciated that they corrected it, but the initial experience was still disappointing. The food absolutely deserves praise, but the reservation experience left enough of an impression that I'm honestly undecided about returning.
