Deseo at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa
Deseo – meaning "desire" in Spanish – offers a passionate and lively dining experience like no other in Arizona. Inspired by James Beard award-winning chef Douglas Rodriguez, the New York chef who is regarded as the "inventor of Nuevo Latino cuisine", this offbeat upscale restaurant uses passion and innovation to elevate Latin American Cuisine to a cultural art form. Unique flavor combinations using a variety of spices, sauces, and marinades, result in food that takes you to another place in time.
Grab the best seat in house at the "Rail" where you can watch our chefs at work as they prepare intricate, delectable ceviche dishes. While dining, enjoy the beautiful and vibrant art of Nelson Garcia-Miranda, a local artist and associate of the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa. A renowned Cuban artist, Garcia-Miranda is committed to creating artwork that celebrates Cuban culture and heritage by combining his personal experiences in a style called "Cubanidad".

"We had a good meal with most dishes well prepared. The Mahi Mahi was the best dish as it was served in a delicious broth wihile maintaining a wonderful crispness. My swordfish was not as good as it lacked flavor. He appetizers were great but portion size was a bit disappointing. Overall a good,but not memorable meal."

"We are snowbirds that have lived in the area part time for about 6 years. This year decided to look for new restaurants to enjoy, this was one of them. The food was delicious and creative. Loved each and every course. Highly recommend Deseo. We will make this one of our favorites and return as often as we can."

"This was my first time back at this restuarant sice 2011 and the quality of the food seems to have gone down. Favorite items of mine were not prepared as well as i remembered. When ever I am in Phoenix it used to be a restaurant i'd want to dine at. not anymore."

"This is a restaurant you should not miss when in the Scottsdale area. The menu offers a wide selection of nuevo Latino cuisine and a great selection of South American wines to accompany your meal selection. The Mahi Mahi meal was prepared deliciously and not overcooked. The attention to serving by Roberto was perfect. A wonderful evening."

"I must start by saying this restaurant is NOT fit for foodies. I ordered the skirt steak and was not asked how I wanted it cooked. When I asked the waiter to make sure it was cooked medium to medium rare he looked confused. When the steak arrived it looked like a pile of meat in the center of the plate--not very appetizing. The steak was tough and greasy. My husband ordered the filet and it was the worst cut of steak I have ever seen. I've had better steaks from Outback than what we had at Deseo. The atmosphere is all open and very loud. No table clothes and the wait staff is not what I would have imagined for a place that all seem to think is fit for foodies. It's in a hotel and the food tastes like hotel food."

"Restaurant used to be one of the best. It has progressively deteriorated in quality and service. Our group of 6 had terrible service. It was busy and server seemed a bit overwhelmed, but it was exceedingly slow and agonizingly poor.The wine service was terrible. I ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and was brought a 5 year old bottle. I suggested to the sommelier that this might be too old, and he seemed to have no clue or was trying to pass it off. The wine was opened and it was clearly oxidized. He should not have even served it, but I had to reject it. We ordered something else which was fine and never saw him again. We eventually got more wine, but there really was no service."

"Deseo's has risen high above the standard for hotel dining. Walking down multicolored candle lit hallway into the entryway sets the tone. I was greeted by friendly smiles and excellent service from the staff. We sat at the Rail for dinner and had fun watching the chefs prepare food. The food was very good; we all had fish, mahi mahi, halibut and a fish stew. All perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The hot rolls are amazing-we asked for more. They are gluten free and made with yucca flour."

"The food was fantastically delicious and the service was world class. The unique dishes and drinks celebrate Latin cuisine at its best. Prices are pleasingly moderate for such superb cuisine. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for something a little different that can please a variety of diners. In our group of 4, everyone had something positive to say about their entrees. Also, the rolls were a tasty kind of cornbread, flour mixture with a hint of spice. The South American beer was great!"

"Food was good, not great, and our food wasn't delivered together. Manager came by to ask how our food was and he had to get the rest of our meal. Felt as though we weren't our server's highest priority, but, they were busy!"

"We had a drink in the bar during happy hour, then went into the inviting dining area, passing the open kitchen. The lamb chops were perfect and delicious. The others enjoyed their meals as well. We have dined here several times and have always had a good meal."

"We were seated at the chef's counter area allowing us to see the chefs at work, as well as interact with them and ask questions about their cooking process and ingredients. My husband, who does most of the cooking, enjoyed the experience and opportunity to view a working professional kitchen. The plating were beautiful with lots wonderful colors and tastes. We had a halibut and crab special which was exquisite. Service was impeccable. A very enjoyable evening."

"2nd review--more focus on service is still needed. My plate was just set down in front of me without any explanation or highlight of the sauces, spice and food. This was done for the couple sitting next to me and is almost always done at high end restaurants where I dine. Disappointing. I hope it wasn't due to my dining there as a single diner.
I continue to tell everyone I meet about this restaurant and their excellent food, atmosphere and fun experience."

"It was a great evening. I order flowers from the florest that Opentable provided on the site. There was a mix up at the Weston and they arrived at the table after the second coarse. All in all, it was a great experience !!!!!"

"We had a wonderful dinner at Deseo. From the varieties of mojitos and cerviches to the delicious Latin-flavored entrees to the amazing chocolate cigar dessert it was an outstanding food experience. they gave us time between courses to enjoy each, and our waitress was wonderful. Well worth the price!"

"Wow. Wow. Wow. My first time dining at Deseo and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. Deseo is now on my list of favorite restaurants for their imaginative and inspired cuisine. Every taste bud was awakened with flavors that were a delight with every bite. The chefs are artists in how they plate the food with color and presentation that made my mouth water. I especially loved dining in the area where you could watch the chefs prepare the meals. I have to tip my hat to Doug, one of the chefs, who answered all my questions and checked on my dining experience. My only wish was that the service was a touch more attentive. I'll be back to dine with Deseo again soon."
