Dinner with friends was a fun experience here. Glad for the fixed price menu which my wife and I both enjoyed, our friends were celebrating anniversary and went whole hog and enjoyed themselves as well. Cocktails were innovative and high quality. Considering that our menu was Italian themed we were willing to go off the fixed menu for tiramisu but none available, bit of a bummer there. Overall very nice romantic evening as expected. Pros: Romantic atmosphere, good service, cocktails, menu Cons: Fine dining ain't inexpensive, scarce parking

We arrived and were seated in an alternate ballroom even though we came at an off time 3:45 pm. Our area had one waiter with 5 tables at any given time. We waited about 10 mins before our waited greeted us, then another before he returned to take our drink order. I ordered a French Pinot Noir and didnt see it or anyone for over 15mins. Finally we were told that the wrong wine was brought up twice. My baby organic lettuce and pickled root salad was fine but nothing to write home about. My mother had the lobster bisque which was dark brown in color & lacked any distinctive taste whatsoever, not even the asparagus and caviar garnish could save it. She also tried the beet tart which was dried and pasty not to mention the prosciutto looked questionable. We both had the Chilean sea bass which was average at best. Such a let down. Served in a hot handled circular dish which was set handle in towards my Mother. She was burned as she reached in towards her plate. It is presented skin and tail fin attached with much oil . For desert my Mother had the chocolate tarte which she said was nice and I had the strawberry rhubarb concoction which tasted like a bland pumpkin pie. I voiced my concern to our waiter Jeff who promptly took off one dinner, which was much appreciated. What transpired later is the true atonement to the lack of customer service, sense of community or class T. Cook's has. Upon our arrival home my Mother became violently ill. She was in the bathroom all night. I wont elaborate. She called T Cook's to speak to a manager and was given someone's voicemail. She called back. She finally spoke to someone where they said repeatedly this had never happened. One of the chefs called back to offer a free brunch..really? A free brunch after this NO WAY. T. Cook's said they would call back but still have not . $140 (that is with one dinner comped) to be sick and eat subpar food accompanied with poor service, I think not.

Since we have not been to T Cooks in several years, thought we'd give it a try for a holiday dinner. We were all disappointed there were only a few poinsettas for decorations. Dinner was so, so. The paella was not memorable in a good way. The short ribs were ordinary, unlike Tarbells and Vincents. The risotto was undercooked. Deserts, though, were outstanding.

This is a great restaurant with some of the best food in The Valley. I highly recommend making reservations on OpenTable if you are going to dine here since you need reservations anyways. Not only will you build up those OpenTable points for a free meal, but T.Cook's will be able give you really good service. They always know what my drink and food preferences are and can always recommend something that I like. I know we don't have an reservation culture here in Scottsdale/Phoenix, but it is so totally worth it. You won't be disappointed at T.Cooks. Pros: Quaint and quiet - great for private parties Cons: must make reservations - but use OpenTable and turn it into a Pro!

This place is perfect if you want a hearty, classic breakfast. I'm talking a plate complete with bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns, and an awesome glass of orange juice. Classic and affordable!

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

This is one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in the world. Anything you get here will be absolutely phenomenal, and the service is impeccable. I usually come at least once whenever I am in the city, and the host is just oustanding. One time I was with my parents and the service was a little slower than usual and the waiter took quite a long time to take our order and had JUST ran out of a dish I was ordering (literally a minute before), the host came over and apologized profusely, saying how this was not up to T. Cook's standards whatsoever (and we didn't even complain at all!) and comp'ed all of our entrees and wine! And THEN, the waitress ordered us the restaurant's three best desserts on the house as well! So the bill was only for our salads/appetizers! And only because the service was a little slow! It was absolutely phenomenal service... I was so impressed. And again, we didn't utter ONE word of complaint about the slowness. On a more particular note, the crabcakes are outstanding, the seafood canneloni are to die for (as are the majority of their lamb and steak dishes as well), although I was not a huge fan of the short rib which is supposedly one of the highlights of their menu. But my family all loves it, so that just could be me. All of the desserts are fantastic as well... you really can't go wrong, just depends what you're in the mood for. Truly a PHENOMENAL restaurant. Pros: INCREDIBLE food, PHENOMENAL service, gorgeous restaurant Cons: Maybe expensive, but ABSOLUTELY worth it!
