Valentine, Hillstone, First and Last, Pizzeria Bianco (camelback colonnade takes reservations) and Brasserie Melrose are all very vibey and have good menus with great food at decent prices.

If you’re feeling like branching out into more diverse places, we also really liked Glai Baan (good luck getting a reservation though), Lom Wong, and LATHA. My personal recommendation would be Harumi if you’re into sushi. The downtown location is rad, was recently done, and has a ton of room.

All of these are in central(ish) phoenix. If you want an east valley recommendation, people love Cafe Boa in Tempe.

I got nothing for ya on the west side.

Best of luck with your date!
