The Compass

This place used to be a favorite for special occasions. We have not been back in several years since moving but we just made the drive to have it again this weekend, and we were very disappointed. Gone are the information plaques, nice seating, and delicious food. Replaced with generic tables and a boring menu. Not one thing we had we enjoyed. If you are looking for a nice dinner go somewhere else. The views are nice. But we won't be back for dinner. In the future I will only come for drinks and apps or dessert.

It was easy to make a reservation online and there was ample availability. When we were seated, we requested a window seat to which we were told there is a special reservation required. We made a "dining room reservation" online so be sure to scroll down on the reservation page to make a "guaranteed window seat reservation" if you want a better view (we would have done that if we had scrolled down and seen that option). The elevator ride up was really fun and you could see out across the city. Once we reached the 24th floor, a strong fishy smell permeated the air which was kind of gross but we got used to it quickly. We arrived just before 6pm and the dining room was fairly empty. We had about an hour of beautiful daylight/sunset to enjoy spinning around before it started to get dark and crowded.The menus were splattered with sticky residue. If the menus are the first thing we see and they are dirty, what else is dirty? We ordered the Oaxacan Sunshine which I was hoping would be a little more robust on the coffee flavor and it was pretty sweet. We also tried the Rooftop Rendezvous which was sickeningly sweet and came garnished with a fuzzy moldy blueberry. The server was receptive when we asked to have the drinks remade without the sweetener. When I showed him the blueberry, he replied with "okay, perfect" and walked away. There is nothing okay or perfect about moldy food being served at a high end restaurant. LOL! The dirty menus and the moldy food really made me question the quality and safety of the food there. The brussels sprouts appetizer was the best. The citrus ricotta was amazing and the portion was quite large. The mussels were fishy and sandy with an abundance of chorizo that tasted like a hot dog - do not recommend. The land and sea was a lovely presentation. The ribeye was gray in color but was tender and tasted good. There were two scallops; I was hoping for more based on the price. The broccolini was crunchy and the mashed potatoes were smooth but did not taste like truffle at all. The chocolate raspberry baked Alaska wasn't really basked Alaska but it was good. The chocolate cake is GF and it wasn't too sweet.Two stars based on the service and quality of food. You're paying for the view which is amazing. But for me, the experience should be so much more.

I hate writing not so nice reviews but I also understand how this helps others and the business itself in knowing what is wrong so that they can fix the problem at hand. The food was now good, what do ever. I ordered the mussels, which had so much of the Spanish chorizo that I was no longer able to taste the actual mussel. My husband ordered the pasta and he added chicken to his dish. The chicken was extremely salty and dry, over cooked that it was choking to swallow. We also decided to order the truffle fries. They were over cooked and did not taste anything like truffle what so ever. The service was good but we will never go back for over priced disgusting food. I do not recommend this place to anyone, don't waste your money. There are expectational places in AZ to eat, this is not one of them.

KUDOS to Ryan, Cheryl, and Executive Chef Steve Fair for providing supreme quality customer service! I was here for my 1st ever DAV National Convention here in Phoenix, AZ. I ordered the Mussels and Tres Leches Panna Cotta, and the GM gave me me a 10% military discount! The ambiance was quiet and the music was lively! I highly recommend all to come and visit to support this local business!

OH my gosh!!! Great service totally beginning to end. Rotating floor and we sat by the window. Please make reservations and go. I still can't get over how nice the wait staff were to us. BTW the baked alaska was sooo wonderful. Just a beautiful place to watch the sunset and enjoy and glass of wine .

Came here with my husband for 10 year anniversary. We got the Chef's Choice meaning the chef picked our three course meal with the dessert amazing food. I'm normally a picky eater, but because we were celebrating something special, we chose to do the chef choice. The service was great. We were a little overdressed, but it was amazing for that occasion it was worth it, it was a little bit cold in there but overall we definitely will go again. I forgot to take a picture of our drinks, but even that was super great. Will definitely recommend this place. We sat by the window and it's normally a two hour reservation which I think it was worth it because in two hours it went around one time and we were done with our meal or three course meal and the dessert.

Service: Nick was super friendly and accommodating! He took the time to explain the whole concept of the restaurant Food: the Brussel sprouts were on another level they were so good! They had lemon ricotta and a chipotle glaze. I would def recommend them and they're perfectly cooked Drinks: Riesling was tasty and the rooftop rendezvous cocktail was amazing! It was blueberry and vanilla with crème de violets Ambiance: the views were amazing and rotating which was so special. The rotating did get me dizzy but only when I would pay attention to the rotating floor lol

Quite Honestly, Worth every penny! The food was delicious! I ordered their chicken- it came with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts grilled with this delicious sauce on top! My father ordered their pasta with steak as an add on and he loved it. My mother had their fish and she also absolutely enjoyed it. We all had the passion on the 24th floor drink and it was so delicious! The ambiance- perfect for the views! They were of course playing Christmas music. You get breath taking views of the city! . It takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes of rotating for it to come full circle. Definitely a great experience. Our serve was amazing! Paid so much attention to detail, and you can tell he took his time with reading my reservation. He knew my restrictions by heart, and our reason for celebrating.Also, I got a complimentary dessert because of my celebration!

Awesome restaurant on top of the Hyatt hotel. With beautiful views of the entire valley and it rotates very slowly so you always have a view to gaze out at.The ambiance is quiet and romantic. Has all new dining furniture. Service was excellent, thank you David and Dale for an amazing experience and being so attentive.The food was delicious and great quality. I started out with the crispy Brussels sprouts with a lemon ricotta cream... omg, that made the dish! Also ordered the calamari, also very good.For my entree, I got the Cauliflower steak and it was one of the best ones I've had. The spices that it came with was different and very savory. I loved it. The rest of the party ordered filets and was cooked to perfection(medium rare)This was a great experience and love trying new places.If you're looking to celebrate something special or just because, you definitely have to come here.

Beautiful beautiful view Food was great!! And staff was very professional. Loved it
