    Blackened mahi mahi
    Matthew Liu

    I was brought to Phoenix City Grille by a local today and ended up having a great late lunch. It seems they are open all day which was convenient for us. We arrived around 2 pm, and although the restaurant was still fairly busy, the server was kind enough to seat us in a quieter section toward the back upon request, which I really appreciated. Our server came by quickly and handed us menus, and we ordered the Ramona Farms super food salad, the carne asada tacos, and the blackened mahi mahi daily special. The salad was delicious and came with a Chiltepin-Dijon dressing. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor since it had just a touch of spice that elevated what could have been a simple dish. All of their salad dressings are made in-house, which explains the unique taste and definitely sets it apart. The carne asada tacos were exactly what you would expect: classic, straightforward, and satisfying. The daily fish special, the blackened mahi mahi, was also excellent. It was served medium well with a crisp outer finish, which is exactly how I like it, and came with broccolini, mango salsa, and a red wine reduction that complemented the fish really well. Prices here are surprisingly reasonable considering the quality of the food. You can expect to spend around thirty dollars per person for a drink, an appetizer or salad, and an entrée. I would recommend Phoenix City Grille to anyone looking for a quick, delicious meal with great value. A very solid find.

    We decided to have dinner at PCG after having a few drinks with friends next door at Still and Barrel, their sister restaurant. The food and service were great, and if you're a whiskey lover, this is a good place to check out! They have an awesome collection! Definitely recommend stopping by!

    Went to city grille for an event. I chose tortilla soup and salad. We had our own private room and servers which was nice. The food was good. The salad had a good amount of chicken and sold dressing.

    This place is so unassuming on the outside... inside has dim and moody lighting, a huge bar, lots of space for tables and booths... it's a vibe. I got a slice of the green chile cornbread because IT IS NATURALLY GLUTEN FREE HOLY MOLY! No idea why but I won't question it. Guys, it was so frickin good. So moist. Nice pieces of corn. Great flavor. I didn't need the butter, but used a little to elevate it just a little more. Yummmmm. I also got the summer salad with salmon skewer - the salmon, I wished I had more of it. It was so tender and cooked perfectly! The salad was otherwise refreshing with various fruit and tangy cheese and a lemon mint vinaigrette to tie it altogether. It was great with the bread, made it a complete meal, otherwise the salad on its own wouldn't have been as satisfying. My boyfriend got the large PCG pasta, which didn't look that large lol but he was full after eating the entire bowl! He loved the cream sauce, two thumbs up. Good service, it was pretty quick!

    Things have certainly changed here since owner Sheldon bowed out and turned the place over to new management. It's not a good sign when every time you visit there are new servers, maybe one regular. Tip: stick with menu regular items you're used to, favorites, not their specials. They are overpriced and usually in weird pairings and sauces. Last night my dinner partner got the special baked halibut on top of smoked beets. For $40 it looked like an appetizer and was gone in six bites. While I ordered the Coffee Rubbed Pork Tenderloin. We know exactly where this recipe idea came from and it wasn't close. The chef needs to go back through the files and find Sergio's recipe! The pork was served bloody rare and I've never seen that before. I cut off the thin seared edges and that was all I could eat. The puree/sauce was not good and the entire thing was flavorless. As usual the service was excellent and we will keep trying our fav items in hopes the new management gets things figured out, especially the cooks' quality of food they send out.

    One of my favorite spots for happy hour or dinner. Always consistent and always adding great specials Last night went for anniversary dinner. Service was terrific as always. Had the peppercorn steak for entree and it was cooked perfectly and had tons of flavor. For starters we did the green chile cornbread which is a favorite. We also got the eggplant bites which may be the best thing on the menu. Lastly had the warm chocolate tort for dessert. Perfect ending to a terrific meal.

    One of our go to places. Starts ex with the bacon wrapped shrimp. Always so great. Did the burgers and they really are some of the best. Service was kind of off this particular day... but that won't stop us from returning.

    Amazing food and pleasant ambiance! Came here with my son and husband for a Saturday lunch. Was not busy at all. They've been around 25+ years but somehow neither of us had tried it before! They have a huge alcohol selection too if you're into that. My husband got a bd on cheeseburger and I got the crispy eggplant sandwich. I loved the arugula and goat cheese on mine, my husband said his burger was one of the best he's had. We enjoyed our fries too, super thin fries and very crispy. My son enjoyed a couple fries too! Service was good and fast as well. Glad we found this spot finally, we will return!

    Happy Hour Menu

    Bubbly, friendly, and delightful service experience with Kenzie is what I enjoyed during happy hour here with my sister. Every stop at the table to check on us she presented a beautiful smile and awesome hospitality. I will be checking for her the next time I dine here. Her service was off the charts. I was hoping the bar could make a chocolate martini but I was advised that they don't stock some of the ingredients to make it. So I asked Kenzie about the 'house' martini's that were on the happy hour menu and she made some suggestions. I ended up trying the blueberry lemon martini. It was delicious. The happy hour tacos were good. The Carne Asada was well seasoned and super tender. I tried the brussel sprout hash which was very tastey. It put me in mind of a veggie dish I would make at home. I hope to visit again to try the grass-fed ribeye.

    Should I make a reservation for a Saturday evening dinner?

    Is this place kid friendly?

    I honestly don't know but I think (and feel) that during the day for lunch they are. At night it's more of an adult vibe/atmosphere but I'm sure kids are still welcome. I'm not sure if they have a kid menu.

Tatum the bartender came over and took our order, not very friendly but it was decently busy so no biggie, she checked all of our ID's and brought over the first round of drinks. Our actual waitress then comes over and we try to order another round of drinks when she then asked if she could see our ID's to verify and we all gladly gave her the ID's and this is when things go bad. The waitress took our ID's to scan because she wasn't confident that they were real, we agreed but we look over and she's searching in a book and going online to verify if our ID's were real and at that point it had been about 10-15 minutes of her analyzing the ID's and we just told them to cancel our last round and we will just pay the bill and go because we could tell her concern wasn't to find out if they were real but to prove they were fake. Being a neighboring state to Arizona and working a bar you would assume they have experience with California ID's. After everything she tells us we can no longer be served insinuating that our ID's were fake. Not a single other table around us even got their ID checked. And as we looked around we were the only ones who were of color and no one else in that bar were being bothered with their ID's. As I asked for our ID's back and for the bill Tatum gave me plenty of attitude and didn't bother to tell our waitress our request to cancel the order and return our ID's. After everything we were told we could no longer be served because after all that time waiting her scanner randomly didn't want to work. So a bars ID scanner does not work, a light wasn't used to verify the ID and with the use of the internet and book she still couldn't verify our ID's. After everything no manager was called, no reasoning was given to us on why she thought the ID's weren't real and we were told we couldn't be there even after they had served us alcohol. So if our ID's were so suspicious why serve us the alcohol to begin with. If foul play was being done which wasn't on our end it was already done on their end.

Excellent service, a Christmas tree upstairs, and no reservations required. Glad they were able to seat us considering we showed up without reservations. Downstairs gets quickly reserved so seats upstairs are where they push overflow patrons. Right outside Flint's doors downstairs there is a staircase which opens up to the upstairs dining area. Service was prompt, and we got our drinks by the time we had our mains decided. I got a glass of red to pair with my steak. My partner had a refreshing cocktail, but it was decent. The highlights of the night were the food. SO MUCH FOOD! And it was TERRIFIC! For starters we got the artichoke hummus. It sounded a bit weird, but all it was was regular hummus with 4 artichoke hearts that were crispy. The artichoke hearts were crisp, but moist, and I could have kept eating those all day. It comes with 1 pita bread. The server told us to order another and we did, turns out we needed it as the pita breads were quite small ($3 +). Sure only 3 bucks, but nickel and dime if you are spending $14 on an app... For mains I got the filet medium rare with a side of regular potatoes. My partner got the salmon skewer with a side of asparagus. Both the dishes were cooked perfectly and they were familiar dishes with a slightly exotic touch to it. Must be the middle eastern part of the restaurant. The steak came with a ganache or accompaniments of middle eastern sides. Can't recall what they were but they were great when I dipped my potatoes in them. It was sour, tart, acidic, kind of like middle eastern soy sauce. The server recommended it to us and we got it. The salmon skewer came with 5 decent sized pieces on it. Great for a small eater or someone who doesn't want their own meal. It too was delicious and had light touches of sauce or smoke on it. The asparagus is a favorite. It was cooked as usual, typical steak side and both me and my partner enjoyed it! For dessert, as it was my partners birthday the server comped the pound cake. While it was delicious, it was definitely the letdown of the meal. It was way too sweet including the layer of cream that it was doused with. The sweat cream wasn't necessary as the pound cake was incredibly sweet itself. Also, the pound cake wasn't soft like normal cake. It was quite dry once you peeled away the creme layer up top. I definitely should have gone with the Chocolate Ganache Tart. But their mess up worked in their favor. I'm definitely coming back for another meal at Flint!
