Phoenix New Times: What really makes OHSO a winner for us is its weekend Beer Brunch menu, in which $10 gets you breakfast & a local beer. The French toast w/ agave syrup & berry marscapone pairs well w/ the Black IPA. Read more.

Steakhouse · Camelback East · 35 tips and reviews
Christopher Michael: Formerly the Cork & Clever, the new Steak 44 is a nice change. Service isn't like Mastros; however their steaks were excellent! Try the filet mignon, colossal shrimp, brussel sprouts, or lobster mash.
Todd: Wine is overpriced but the food is solid. Oysters rock!
Karin E: Wear a sweater. It's very cool inside. I would suggest the filet mignon with crab legs and the chopped salad with artichoke hearts. Delicious!

Latin American Restaurant · 4 tips and reviews
Pete Harris: Asked for hot sauce and gave us what waiter called a Ghost pepper purée and it was excellent! Get it. Chicken & chorizo sandwich stood out (huge). For a side the chipotle grits are tasty!
Danny Neskorik: Food tasted fine but $14 for 3 tacos about the size of a 50 cent piece. Not impressed
David Anderson: The shrimp starter is fantastic, tender and lots of flavour. Also can't go wrong with the pork shoulder to share as a main - awesome.
