Friday Bites With Cynthia Sassi

Best Outdoor Patio

Isabella’s Kitchen at Grayhawk has an amazing patio. The patio is massive with a variety of seating options from tables to enjoy dinner at or comfy patio furniture to relax in by the fire. You get a great view of the golf course and the sunsets.

Best Spot for Special Occasions

Sassi Restaurant… not because Sassi is my last name. This is truly my favorite restaurant of all time. The interior of the restaurant itself makes you feel like you’ve stepped into Italy and the view of Pinnacle Peak Mountain from the patio is breathtaking. The service is the best I have ever seen, and the food and the wine couldn’t be better. Great romantic date spot (I have seen multiple proposals take place here!).

Best Burger

The District I don’t eat beef, so I am basing this off of my favorite turkey burger. Their menu is very limited, so the few things on there are done right! Best burger, fries and milkshakes – a cheat meal for sure!

Impressing Out of Towners

Jade Bar at Sanctuary. I love Elements restaurant, but Jade Bar offers a more casual way to enjoy the same stunning views. You can grab a couple cocktails and appetizers while enjoying the beautiful sunset. Out of towners will be blown away by the views and the property.

Girl’s Night Out

Dakota. Friday and Saturday nights always have a great crowd and the DJ often throws in a little Usher or TLC, which you and your girls won’t be able to resist belting out the lyrics you still remember.
