Restaurateur Sam Fox believes his latest creation, Arrogant Butcher, will become that restaurant for Phoenix when it opens Monday in a prime downtown spot - the corner of First and Jefferson streets in downtown's CityScape world series tickets online retail-and-office development.
RED has courted other big names in the restaurant industry. LGO was expected world series tickets online to open a restaurant, LGO Public House, at CityScape. But LGO has pulled out, leaving Fox as the single biggest local name at CityScape - at least, for now. RED officials said they're in talks with other well-known restaurateurs but have not yet announced a replacement for LGO.
As home to five of Phoenix's biggest law firms, CityScape has a ready lunch crowd that Fox and other restaurant owners want to include in their clientele. Fox expects he will count Phoenix officials, Maricopa County officials, Diamondbacks and Suns executives, lawyers, judges and lobbyists among the regulars at Arrogant Butcher, where they can order cocktails like the "Effen Russian" or "The Last Word." Diners who sit at the raw bar overlooking the kitchen can watch a show of flame and pan flipping as they eat oysters and other seafood.
In the back of the 7,500-square-foot restaurant are three private-dining areas, with enough room for small board meetings or parties. Yellow- and white-striped awnings will shade diners who prefer to eat street side. On weekends, Fox envisions residents from neighborhoods such as Willo and Encanto bringing their families downtown for brunch.
