    Espresso martini with Bailey's made by Andrew
    Alexandra S.

    We took the mixology class at the bar in T Cook's, which is $50 per person or complimentary if you're staying at the hotel. Our bartender, Andrew, had 26 years of bartending experience and gave us a great overview of the standard process for making drinks. He was very friendly, engaging, and thorough. We made the Orange Grove cocktail, which pays homage to the fact that this hotel was built on an orange grove. It actually also used to be a private residence back in the day. For you history buffs, there is a history tour that you can also take through the hotel. We learned that a bit of Angostura bitters mixed with soda is a helpful hangover cure and that their most expensive liquor on property is Louis XIII Cognac, which costs about $4,000 per bottle and $500 for a one-ounce pour. The bottle itself is apparently worth $500 when empty as it's made out of crystal. We ordered a side of fries and wings on happy hour, which is daily from 4-6pm. The fries tasted like Arby's fries but weren't curly. It took a while for them to be made for some reason. The wings were big and soft, and I wasn't a fan of the honey buffalo sauce. The bar itself is a vibe with dim lighting and comfortable seating. It was fairly quiet when we went on a Sunday afternoon, with only a few hotel guests that came. The mixology class was an intimate experience, with only four of us there and a maximum of six people allowed to book each week's class. $50 per person is what we paid since we weren't staying at the hotel, which I thought was very pricey for a mixology class with only one cocktail being made; that's my primary reason for the lower rating plus the food quality. We also ordered during happy hour and were charged full price. After bringing it to their attention, they only discounted the wings but the draft beer and specialty cocktail we ordered should have also been discounted. Just a bit frustrating to have to address that when happy hour prices are clearly listed on the menu.

    Went on a Monday for my boyfriend and my anniversary! We didn't expect it to be busy but there was also an insane storm so there were only two other couples seated inside, fun little private dining experience! There are no booths but we got sat at a table with super high back chairs and they had nice cushions and the chairs were next to each other which was cute. There were rose petals on the table which was a very nice touch!! We immediately were served water! Our server was very nice and recommended good wines (we got the red blend, quite delicious)! She let us enjoy ourselves and didn't rush our ordering. She also was very knowledgeable about the menu. I got the elote rigatoni with gluten free pasta and it was so good!! Tender with the perfect bite. The sauces are made to order so it was extra fresh and it was steaming hot. This is such a unique dish, I loved the sweet from the corn and the tang from the cheese and some heat from the chili crisp! My boyfriend got the beef ribeye because it was the most filling and he very much enjoyed every piece of the juicy and tender meat with the perfectly cooked asparagus and silky mashed potatoes. We were served a gluten free chocolate silk pie for our anniversary on the house - so nice and sooo delicious. My boyfriend isn't a sweet guy but he ate his half with a huge smile on his face. What a wonderful celebration with tasty food!

    Came here for an anniversary dinner. The vibes were great - obviously the outdoor/fountain area is just beautiful, and everything was so nicely decorated for Christmas. Our server was fantastic- knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating. Food was also good. I loved the green goddess Caesar. Cons were that service could be slow; it took a long time for both our drinks and our food to come out. I specifically asked for blue-cheese stuffed olives but the olives that came in my martini tasted more like they were stuffed with ricotta. A nice place for a date night, but you're paying more for ambiance than for service or food.

    What didn't go well tonight in a wonderful patio Arizona evening. I just love the Royal Palm vibe and the quiet elegance of this fine dining reataurant. Sat outside in the patio with a nice lit fireplace as the temp was unusually chilly for Scottsdale this time of year. Enjoyed a three course meal beginning with corn chowder and iceberg wedge. Both fantastically fresh and delish! We then moved on to the cherry covered pork chop and rib eye. Both cuts of meat were very tender and cooked perfectly. Dusted with fresh veggies and sauces that were perfectly seasoned. Onto dessert we wound up taking it away and enjoying f it for breakfast the next day. What a great decision as they were so scrumptious with a great cup of coffe in the am. We enjoyed walking the property, having a pre dinner drink in the cozy bar. Just lovely! The wait staff, the ambiance, the food. All 5 star! Highly recommend and will be back.

    The Influencer
    Reena R.

    T Cook's is located in the Royal Palms hotel which is such a beautiful boutique hotel in Phoenix. The restaurant is also beautiful and elegant. Our server was great and she said everything on the menu was good. I started with a delicious drink called the Influencer with vodka, passion fruit, vanilla bean, and a champagne sidecar. We tried the Spanish octopus and Caesar salad which were very tasty. I also worry about ordering octopus because it can be overcooked or chewy, but this was cooked just right. The lamb pops were flavorful but I thought the lamb was too fatty. For our main dishes, the steak was cooked well but a bit dry and could use some additional flavor. I liked the rigatoni, which is house made, although it was a bit spicy. I didn't finish it so I took it home and strangely the next day the meat smelled and tasted funny so I had to toss it. That was disappointing considering how much I paid for it. Dessert was tasty. Everything on the menu sounded good but we settled for the gelato and cookies and pistachio chocolate bar (is it supposed to be the viral Dubai chocolate?? That's what my kids thought it was!) The presentation was wonderful. Overall it was a good experience. Food is pricey but it's a nice place and the food is generally good, just disappointed about my pasta. Next time I'll try a different one.

    Original trees still go right through to the roof in the dining room

    For our anniversary this year, my wife and I enjoyed a stay at the Royal Palms Resort where we enjoyed two delicious breakfasts at T Cook's along with a wonderful dinner to celebrate. For the dinner, we arrived to a decorated table with rose petals in the shape of a heart, which was a thoughtful gesture when they knew we were celebrating our anniversary. I ordered a tasty steak dish with corn, potatoes, and sauce, all which complemented each other greatly. I would certainly order this again though the menu has changed and new steak dishes are being offered. My wife ordered a salmon dish with sauce, greens, and potatoes, which she really enjoyed. Also offered on the menu are some incredible desserts which now include maple bread pudding, chocolate peanut butter parfait, poire noisette, royal tiramisu palms sundae, limoncello creme brulee, and house made gelato and cookies. For our anniversary, we received a complimentary special chocolate cake with a special message in chocolate sauce. For our breakfasts, we had the choice of lighter brunch options, many breakfast entrees, soups, salads, sandwiches, and lunch entrees. For both days, my wife ordered an omelette while I had a breakfast burrito while we both ordered juices and shared a fruit plate. Many hotel reservations using the Hyatt Priveé, American Express's Fine Hotels + Resorts, and Hyatt Globalist programs include complimentary breakfast for two. We made reservations for breakfast and dinner using Open Table, which recently awarded T Cook's with the Open Table Diner's Choice 2024 award. There are indoor and outdoor dining options. Brunch is served daily from 6:30 AM to 1:30 PM while dinner is served daily from 5:30 PM to 9 PM (though on Fridays and Saturdays, it closes a half hour later at 9:30 PM). A fun thing to notice is that the dining room has the original Royal Palms trees right there which go right through the roof. There is also a nice, outdoor patio. We also learned that T Cook's supports the Mix Up Bar, which offers mixology classes and also the Cabana Cafe by the pool. Cabana Cafe includes shared plates, salads, entrees, kids' meals, cocktails, and other drinks. I'll write a separate review for the Mix Up Bar later, which was also a favorite spot of ours on our visit.

    Caesar Salad
    Sue S.

    Staying at the Royal Palms and decided to dine at T Cooks . What a beautiful restaurant and we were greeted warmly. Nice table and excellent server. Good and wine were wonderful. I will look forward to returning soon. I think the winter will be wonderful with the fire going!!

    Breakfast Sandwich*
    Rebecca I.

    We came here to eat after looking at Royal Palms for a wedding venue. The service was quick other than initially waiting for a staff member to sit us. The mimosa flight as pictured is full glasses and very delicious. I got the breakfast sandwich which sounds plain but was absolutely delicious as it was flavored with jam and thick bacon. I would definitely go back to try so much more.

    salmon
    Emerine C.

    We enjoyed dinner here as we were staying at the resort and I loved the room and decor. The cocktail menu has many options and I opted for the orange grove which was similar to a spicy margarita but less sweet. We shared the spring pasta and the salmon. The salmon was delicious, as was the pasta which was a large serving. It was a bit rich for a "spring" pasta and may fare better with a different pasta shape than spaghetti. We were too full for dessert but the options looked delightful.

    Outdoor courtyard area of the resort. Camelback mountain in background. Restaurant is straight ahead.
    Samantha M.

    Got the chicken piccata and it was delicious. The dining room has some palm trees inside and it's honestly my favorite part. Salads and desserts were good. Our server was fine, nothing to write home about but maybe they were short-staffed? No issues just not as warm as I'd expect for a finer dining establishment.

    Breakfast
    Lea C.

    We are staying at the Royal Palms hotel over the holiday as our grandkids are here visiting and we have had the opportunity to have breakfast here during our stay. We are our daughters guest of honor as a globalist, so breakfast is included each day. I have had both the avocado toast and the spinach and sun-dried tomato tomato quiche and they are beyond fantastic. No boring breakfast foods here. My husband has had two egg breakfast and this morning he had the eggs Benedict And both were fantastic. Their potatoes are absolutely perfect crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside. The service is impeccable, your coffee cup will never be empty and it is a peaceful ambience early in the morning. They do bring you a Nutella filled beignet, little mini ones to have with your coffee. How special is that? Highly recommend, especially if you have benefits, as it is quite pricey, if you do not!

    My Turkey Sandwich - Looks good, but I did not like the bread or the turkey
    Christine B.

    I was in search of a place that offered a nice outdoor patio where we could celebrate my mother's birthday. Brunch at T. Cook's fit the bill because it wasn't a buffet - you could order individual breakfast or lunch entrees and the ambiance is beautiful. As you would expect at a fancy resort like the Royal Palms, service is wonderful. Our server made us very comfortable and was attentive. Everyone else in our party of six enjoyed their entrees. Unfortunately, I was the only one who was disappointed. I ordered the turkey sandwich and was let down in a few areas. The bread is listed as housemade peasant bread. It's really too thick and bulky for the sandwich, overwhelming it and falling apart. The turkey was a generous portion but I found the flavor to have an odd aftertaste to it. I didn't want to keep eating it, it was so off-putting. I really should have mentioned it to our server as I'm sure he would have made things right. However, I knew the table would have to wait longer for me while they brought a new entree. (That's on me.) T. Cook's is a lovely restaurant located up against Camelback Mt. in the Royal Palms resort. It's a really great place to soak in the Arizona atmosphere. I'd be willing to go back and hope my disappointing turkey sandwich was just a fluke.

Even though there was a longer wait, the food and experience made it feel worth it. The smoked brisket Benedict is the standout. The brisket is tender with a deep, smoky flavor. The eggs are perfectly poached, and when everything comes together on the English muffin base, it hits that rich, savory-sweet balance without feeling too heavy. The French toast is Thick-cut and caramelized on the edges, without being overly sugary. It's well-complemented by fresh fruit and just enough syrup so it doesn't turn into dessert overload too early in the day. Overall, Brunch Snob feels like a spot that knows how to do comfort brunch.

    Great Group Dining Experience, But Reservations Are Highly Recommended…read more I recently visited Brunch Snob with my fitness group after our weekend session. For anyone planning a visit, please be aware that the wait times can be significant if you do not have a prior reservation. Fortunately, our large party of over 10 guests was able to utilize an indoor corner space to wait comfortably until our table was ready. Once we were seated, the service was excellent. The staff was incredibly patient and attentive while managing a table of our size.The food and beverage options were generally well-received, though there were a few minor details to note. One guest mentioned that the options for mimosa flights were somewhat limited. On the food side, my order of the Mexican Cowboy Bowl was excellent and prepared exactly as expected. While most of our group's orders were correct, one eggs Benedict arrived overcooked despite a specific request during ordering to avoid this. Given the size of our party, the guest chose to accept the dish rather than send it back. Billing Tip: For transparency, an automatic 20% gratuity was included in the final bill for our large group. I recommend double-checking your receipt to keep this in mind before adding any additional tips. Overall, it is a great brunch destination with quality dishes, but making a reservation ahead of time is highly advisable.

The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.
