NEW IN TOWN: TERRA AND SKYSILL AT WESTIN TEMPE New hotel brings local flavors As Tempe’s culinary options continue to expand, the new Westin Tempe hotel on Mill Avenue is bringing a sophisticated Southwestern restaurant and chic rooftop poolside lounge to the heart of Tempe. Located on the hotel’s ground floor, Terra Tempe Kitchen and Spirits highlights bold flavors and locally sourced ingredients. Popular dishes include Terra’s Hot Stone with thinly sliced Wagyu beef or Pacific ahi tuna, Sonoran Salad with compressed melons, jicama and tequila lime vinaigrette, cilantro-dusted Chilean sea bass with avocado crema and sweet corn pico, and filet mignon with lump crab mash and black truffle chimichurri. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Terra offers a warm, modern atmosphere with floor-to-ceiling windows and an expansive exhibition kitchen. The restaurant’s beverage program includes wine, Arizona beer and handcrafted cocktails featuring classic recipes with a local twist, like the Terra Mule with tequila, ginger beer and desert pear syrup, and the Greyhound to Tempe with gin, grapefruit juice and agave sage syrup. “Terra Tempe’s menu sets a new standard of elevated dining in Tempe with dishes that are deeply rooted in the culture of the Southwest yet enhanced with unexpected tastes in a way that captivates guests and keeps them intrigued,” said executive chef Alexander Robinson. “Terra means ‘of the land,’ but to us, it means ‘of Tempe.’ We’re very proud to join the vibrant community downtown and to play a role in the neighborhood’s ever-evolving culinary identity.” Located on the hotel’s 18 th floor, the open-air Skysill Rooftop Lounge offers a pool, jacuzzi, daybeds and cabanas, and beautiful mountain views. Skysill features a rotating menu of craft cocktails with local flair, like the Arizona Spritz made with Aperol, aloe liqueur and prosecco, and the Cactus Collins, made with Meyer lemon vodka and blue agave nectar. To complement the cocktails, guests can enjoy shareable plates and light bites. For more information, visit terratempe.com and skysillrooftop.com .
