All,
I'm looking for help finding two types of restaurants.
1. The best Thai place
2. The best overall restaurant with atmosphere and fine dining.

I've been to the Hyatt Regency downtown. Excellent!


Word?

In Tucson hit up North in La Encantada. EXCELLENT food and a nice view of the vally if you sit outside.

Hacienda Del Sol's 'The Grill' also offers some amazing pallete-tickling flavors.

1. Thai

I've been to Thailand a few times and I still really like Malee's on Main (either the Scottsdale or the Desert Ridge Location)

or Yuptha's Thai. It's in Tempe on Elliot

2. Fine Dining

well..I have expensive tastes (just ask Lee..he's going to need 3 jobs to afford me. LOL) ..

My favorite restaurant in town is T.Cook's at the Royal Palm resort..Food is usually fantastic (although I haven't been back since they switched chef's a few months ago) and it is always voted the most romantic restaurant in Phx..Zagat's always gives it high marks as well.

Different Pointe of View is also really yummy and has a great view of Phx.

Love the picks..
i must say Yupthas is one fo the best .. the banana dessert is awesome


lets see.. I've been to Top of the Rock as well as different pointe of view and both are fantabulous

overall I like the Keg for a once a couple of weeks type of place....

atmosphere
Best of Hong Kong dining... nothing like roasted ducks hanging in the window...

Thanks!
You'll all understand after you're married and pass your latter 30's... it's the food stage of life. No more chasing skirt and proving yourself through sports is all done. Yep, I'm in the food stage of life.
Sad, but true. It will happen to you young bucks some day.
A total man day for me would be to have a tailgate party at PIR with pit babes serving me BBQ before I gets to do my fast thing around the course. I may consider shooting myself after an event like that because for me, that's as good as it gets.

Shit, I pigged out this past Sunday between events and I damned near puked after spinning around the track a few times. I don't get motion-sickness, but holding on through the turns with race tires can cause even Chuck Yeager to barf.

Shit!
