Dine at the Compass Restaurant and see all of Phoenix

The Compass Restaurant Phoenix is a glamorous place with a view that will slowly move you around the top of the Hyatt Hotel in downtown Phoenix. It's billed as the only revolving restaurant in Arizona. You can take your best guests there and be assured of a spectacular experience.

Parking is easy because this is a hotel. You can get valet too if you want less hassle. Watch the sun go down if you get there early. The views of Phoenix at night are also fascinating. There’s nothing quite like it. You’ll be talking with your guests and the next time you look up there’s a new view!

The food experience is gourmet. The waiters are attentive but not overly so and leave you alone long enough to talk in peace. The food presentation is beautiful, and every plate I saw looked like a work of art.

If you want the complete experience budget about $75 per person and this includes adult beverages and dessert.

There are plenty of wines to pick and the dessert I like just about the best is their crème brulee. You get this little gem served in a white curved tray with three troughs.

I’ll take a picture next time I go there. It’s sinful.

Which makes a perfect segue to a renovated church now called the Landmark Restaurant in Mesa. Might be time for the salad bar!

Keep in mind there are only so many seats so plan ahead. Make reservations at the restaurant, especially for the big holidays like Mother's Day etc. It is located on the top of the Hyatt Regency Phoenix at 122 North 2nd Street. Phone (602) 252-1234
