Grabbing a bite to eat with friends or having a date night with your partner is always a good time, but you don't always have to dine at the most popular eateries and chain restaurants to have a great meal. Sometimes the most delicious plates can be found hiding away in family-run establishments with secret recipes, pop-ups started by friends that grew into community staples or hidden gems with the tastiest bites for an affordable price.
Using reviews, awards and accolades, and first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "most charming" restaurants around the country, selecting the most "delightful" spot in every state "from historic buildings turned into boutique restaurants to romantic date venues with breathtaking views."
According to the site, the most charming eatery in all of Arizona is Quiessence at The Farm. Located in Phoenix, this romantic locale has the perfect ambiance for your next date night, with tables placed outside under the stars. Quiessence, which has a 4.4 star rating on Google and nearly 450 reviews, is located at 6106 S. 32nd Street.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about this inviting eatery:
"Set in an original farmhouse with beautiful gardens, Quiessence at The Farm has previously been voted the most romantic restaurant in Arizona, and it's easy to see why. Tables draped in white tablecloths and dotted around the lawn and amongst the pretty flowers, while the inside of this fine dining restaurant is equally charming. Produce is grown on site, it has its own chicken coop, and other ingredients are sourced locally. Diners say it's an experience you won't forget."
