T. Cook's

Voted #1 restaurant in Phoenix/Scottsdale by Food and Wine magazine

  • Seasonal Dishes
  • Cigar Room
  • Full Bar

Nestled within a den of rich earthen colors, high-vaulted ceilings and panoramic views, T. Cook's offers unrivaled ambiance for a Phoenix restaurant. Mimicking the colonial Spanish architecture and atmosphere of the Royal Palms Resort and Spa, the a la minute Mediterranean cuisine is simply superb.

T. Cook's boasts select seasonal dishes from Barcelona, Spain and the Tuscan region of Italy, with ingredients hand-selected by Chef Lee Hillson. Freshly prepared gastronomic creations satiate the taste buds and leave little doubt why the highly praised T. Cook's is unrivaled among Phoenix restaurants.

The Bar at T. Cook's restaurant is located just off the resort's Courtyard Rising up beyond a baby grand piano. The Bar is flanked by the sumptuous Cigar Room with its deep red leather, custom-made upholstery and antique lamps.

Editorial Review for T. Cook's – by Nikki Buchanan

In Short
Located within an intimately scaled resort with flowers and fountains, citrus trees and stately old palms, T. Cook's style reflects Spanish, Moorish and Mediterranean sensibilities. For lunch, there's grilled beef tenderloin in a red-wine reduction over Gorgonzola-spiked Israeli couscous. The signature mussels, sauteed in chardonnay-thyme broth, are a favorite, as is the antipasto platter with roasted duck breast and grilled loin of lamb. Desserts include the caramel-cheesecake brulee.

The food and service at T Cooks is good, it is not on the same level as an old Phoenix favorite, Denny's on Van Buran. It is so unfortunate that it closed. Well, not for T. Cooks. With them gone, they have regained the number 1 spot. Way to go T. Cooks!!!

T Cook's serves amazing food in a beautiful ambiance. While it's better known as a fine dining spot, I love to go here for breakfast. The all you can eat Sunday brunch is a little out of my price range at 29.95, but the a-la-carte options, at between $8-$10, are all within reason. Their take on eggs benedict is not to be missed. Like the lunch and dinner options, the breakfast menu changes seasonally, with a focus on fresh flavors and high quality offerings. My husband regularly orders the house smoked salmon plate which comes with about a half pound of salmon sliced so thin you can see though it. I'm not the biggest smoked salmon fan and even I love it. We've been here about a dozen times, 11 of them for breakfast, and have never had a less than exceptional experience.

Pros: beautiful ambiance, fantastic service, great patio

Cons: revervations necessary, not good for children
