I second Mastro's over Morton's. Roaring Fork is great, happy hour has $2 beers and great bar food. There is always a crowd for the bar tables. Eddie V.'s for seafood, they also have a great happy hour. Another seafood possibility is Mastro's sister Ocean at Kierland. If you don't mind a little drive go to Binkley 's in Cave Creek, terrific! Make sure you have reservations, same for Ocean. Donovan's Chop House gets a lot of good press and that is close to the Phoenician.
