Chelsea's Kitchen
Kick up the wardrobe for this see-and-be-seen eatery (you will get a once-over); but then again, looking nice just feels right. Brick walls, lofty industrial ceiling, leather booths: this casual place wouldn't be out of place in New York's Chelsea. The cuisine, however, is distinctly Western-inspired. Burgers, salads and tacos make appearances, but we're partial to the organic meats tanned to juicy perfection in the hardwood rotisserie. There's a nice patio too.

Landmark
If you worship at the culinary altar of steak and prime rib, you'll want to make the pilgrimage to this converted 1908 Mormon church that's been a family-owned local mainstay for decades. Lighter eaters, meanwhile, have an entire 'Salad Room' with over 100 items for grazing (lunch/dinner $11/15).

Arcadia Farms Café
Hmm, the smoked-salmon club? Or the wild mushroom, spinach and goat-cheese tart? Perhaps the strawberry chicken salad on baby greens? The problem with this chic bistro, tucked inside the Phoenix Art Museum , is that everything sounds delectable. This welcoming eatery uses only seasonal organic ingredients for its light yet satisfying dishes. And for ladies who lunch, there's always the peach Bellini.

5 & Diner
A visit here really is lots of fun, featuring inexpensive food, friendly service and a 1950s setting. The menu is the predictable pre-nouvelle American cuisine - burgers, fries, tuna melts, shakes, etc.

Cowboy Ciao
At this mood-lit cantina dishes are a veritable cauldron of textures and flavors. The elk loin, for instance, is paired with crunchy hazelnut pesto, creamy mushroom risotto and a rich cabernet demi-glace. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's too complex for comfort.

Noca
Short for north of Camelback, Noca is where foodies go to die content. The restaurant serves New American fare using American ingredients in the style of classical innovator French Laundry. The tasting menu costs $50, but a better deal is the $27 multi-course simple Sunday suppers.

Herb Box
It's not just about sparkle and air kisses at this chichi bistro in the heart of Old Town's Southbridge. It's also about fresh, regional ingredients, artful presentation and attentive service. For a light, healthy, ever-so-stylish lunch (steak salad, turkey avocado wrap, pear- gorgonzola flatbread), settle in on the patio and toast your good fortune – with an organic chamomile citrus tea, of course.
