| - Okay, I haven't been here in years and had been wanting to check out the area "stockyards" again since. So Arizona Restaurant Week had them on their list and I thought, 'what better reason is there to go than this?"
Maybe it was the option I chose but I wasn't very impressed. Don't get me wrong, the food was good but I was hoping for something more like the meal I've had at the Silver Spur in Tucson (OMG -Gooooooood stuff). My prime rib was a small portion and seemed to have a lot more fat than mere marbeling. The sweet potatoes were okay but heck, just leave 'em in the skin and serve 'em if you're not going to make them something special.
Cornbread and Baking Powder Biscuits served before the meal were fine, but I make better cornbread right out of the box. And what do they mix in the butter that created red looking drips? Honey?
I liked the crudites - cukes, jicama, celery, carrots, black olives.
My son, who happens to be a good eater, ordered the rack of ribs and hardly got through half the rack. He said he was hungry but apparently didn't like the flavor.
And he was about as impressed with the sweet potatoes as I was.
Desert was alright.
Brownies a al mode for myself and son and hubby had the shortcake. The special online menu that I viewed said it was mixed berries but the server said strawberry -that's what he got, strawberry.
It was all fine but I just felt that being one of the restaurants on the Arizona Restaurant Week meant those businesses were out to impress.
I just wasn't impressed.
I love steak but about the only time I order it when I'm out is when we're at a steakhouse.
Love the decor and the history of the place.
Service was fine -except when I asked for a couple of biscuits to be thrown in with my leftovers. That didn't happen.
