Beckett's Table

Beckett's Table is one of the highly regarded restaurants situated in the Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix, offering sophisticated comfort food, an open kitchen style, and such a warm welcome. Founded in 2010, the restaurant was the brainchild of Chef Justin Beckett, his wife Michelle, and their close friends, sommeliers Katie and Scott Stephens. Years before that, they shared dinner upon dinner, paired with judiciously picked wines. It was over these dinners that Beckett's Table was born, inspired by a passion for crafting memorable dining experiences with their own most dear meals together.

Beckett's Table takes great pride in its community-oriented approach, with fresh ingredients coming from farms within 30 miles of its kitchen. The wine list at the restaurant is one of the strong points and has received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for more than a decade. From the food to the wines, this attention to the smallest detail echoes the restaurant's original inspiration: an environment where guests feel they are part of one large, welcoming table. Beckett's Table is equally committed to supporting local farmers and businesses by encouraging its patrons to help build and sustain stronger, more tenacious communities.

At the helm of the restaurant is Chef Justin Beckett, whose broad experience, one would have thought, only came with a lifetime of collecting recipes and techniques. Growing up as the son of a pastry chef instilled an abiding love for cooking in him. His passion to learn his trade has taken him through a variety of kitchens in five states and three countries, providing him with a vast canvas of international flavors and methods. These different experiences have melded together into a style now firmly based in Phoenix's rising culinary scene.

A restaurateur and chef in one, Justin champions local producers and serves up nothing but the best that the region can produce. This attentiveness has gained national attention in the form of a 2012 nomination for Food & Wine magazine's People's Best New Chef award and an invitation in 2014 to cook for Condé Nast publications. Today, Beckett's Table is considered one of the anchors of Phoenix's culinary scene, melding the vibe of the community with creative comfort food.

A member of both Local First Arizona and Devour Phoenix, Beckett's Table exudes a philosophy of sustainability and collaboration such that every meal served speaks volumes to connection—to the land and the people it serves.
