This place is great from the start of the meal well thru the end. They have a vast array of menu items available for your dining pleasure everything on the menu is worth trying at some point in time. I love the Poblano chix chowder and a small SW Caesar salad to start followed up by the Desert Fire pasta with has Jalapeno Cream Gravy that will make you stand up and say HEY! Finish up with a Bunuelo with real Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and the ever popular handmade White Chocolate Tamales. I love this place because at one point from 1993 thru 1997 I worked at all three locations in different capacities, AZ Center, Biltmore and Scottsdale (now a CVS). I have great memories of these places and would recommend to anyone who likes great food less

offers food that's every bit as imaginative, but not nearly as expensive, as that served at other (often overrated) Southwestern restaurants in Phoenix. Breadsticks with picante-flavored cream cheese, grilled vegetable tacos, and angel-hair pasta in a spicy jalapeño sauce with shrimp and mushrooms all have a nice balance of flavors. The downtown Sam's has a large patio that overlooks a fountain and palm garden; it stays packed with the lunchtime, after-work, and convention crowds. less
