Scottsdale, AZ - Hitting store shelves October 2008, the brand-new, second edition of Dine Out Phoenix (Including Scottsdale): Where to Eat from Chic to Unique is the only guide one needs to find the best restaurants in town.

Pamela Swartz, award-winning author of Arizona Getaways for the Incurably Romantic and Dine Out Phoenix, celebrates the delicious, diverse selection of dining experiences available to Valley residents and visitors in her newest book.

According to Swartz, “With the growth of Phoenix comes the sophistication of the Valley restaurant scene. This sophistication has not only inspired more independently owned niche restaurants, but also has attracted both established and young chefs to these highly regarded culinary proving grounds."

Swartz uncovers spots beyond the chains. “No matter what ambiance you are looking for, from a romantic dinner to a seal-the-deal power spot that will impress, there are exceptional, distinctive options available.”

Whether diners are in the mood for the energetic, cosmopolitan, big-city atmosphere of Roka Akor; the charming Carly’s Bistro, the perfect complement to the burgeoning Roosevelt’s art district; the award-winning cuisine of Culinary Hall of Fame chef Silvana Salcido Esparza at Barrio Cafe, where the menu includes highly-praised dishes such as ancient Mayan-style chochinita pibil (12-hour slow-roasted pork with achiote rojo) or banana leaf-wrapped tamal de la huasteca; or the see-and-be-seen atmosphere of Canal where haute cuisine meets haute couture, there are dining choices for any craving, mood, or occasion throughout the Valley.”

To assemble this exclusive list of over 250 restaurants, Swartz depended on her 25+ years as a Valley resident and restaurant patron, did extensive research, and enlisted the suggestions of a group of trusted advisors, industry leaders, friends, and foodies. What results is an unbiased, up-to-date look at the area’s most popular and acclaimed restaurants; Swartz does no paid reviews.

Detailed descriptions give readers a terrific sense of each restaurant’s atmosphere, cuisine, distinguishing characteristics, and special offerings, as well as all the essentials. In addition, Swartz presents her signature insider tips for each restaurant: when to go, where to sit, what to order, and more.

An up-to-date glimpse into the best of the best to be found in the Valley, this book is the perfect answer to the to the question, “Where should we go to eat tonight?’ With Dine Out Phoenix readers will never go hungry again.
