canyon cafe

great meeting room in back. we recently held a meeting in the back room and it was perfect. you were connected to the main restaurant, yet a wall blocked the noise so you could hear our meeting conversation. a glass wall to the beautiful arizona center gardens kept you from feeling too closed in.
the server did a good job of keeping everyone'sdrinksfilled and timing our orders. she filled bowls of chips and salsa with a mix of blue and yellow corn and flour tortilla chips. the salsa was pretty good.
we had the salmon and a sweet potato puree served with spinach salad. it was a wondeful tasty lunch.
the chicken sandwich and an enchilada plate seemed popular as well.
i think we will keep this our regular spot for our monthly meetings for the foreseeable future. so, ladies, if you see us there on the third saturday's of the month, come join the fun of the network of business women phoenix.

good value. first off the location and atmosphere is very nice, i'd say sit on the patio if you can (day or night) most meals were averaging around $15 which puts it right in line with many national chains. however i found the food to be better quality and well presented than many of those chains.

the 2-limitdrinksare great, i think other restaurants should take note. give me a better quality and better poured drink and i'm happy with only 2. i hate paying almost the same amount fordrinksat others places for a watered down or low quality pour. kudos to sams for that.

so overall i thought it was a very good value between the atmosphere, food and drinks.

great food, however the service was horrible- after sitting waiter took 20 mins to meet us, assisting staff ended up taking our drink order after sitting for 15 mins, water, chips and salsa were never refilled. it seemed as once the waiter brought thedrinksout he gave up hope for our table. the young lady assisting staff that took our drink order and brought our food was far better than our waiter....

overall i was pleased. not a traditional mexican restaurant by any means but its good. the chips and salsa are a decent twits. thedrinkswere good and my dinner was good. i was pleasantly surprised!
