Naturally, we ate there for dinner on the first night...I was shocked by the service and quality of the food in all the best ways. There are two sides to the restaurant - the bar side and the dinning side. We spent all our time in the dining side because of our group size, but 1-4/5 people would do just fine in the bar side of things.
There's a menu left in your room at all times so you can order their food as roomservice and here are all the things I tried:
-The Cowboy Club: Amazing variation of a club sandwich that I will have to make at home because it's probably one of the best i've ever had.
-Bbq Chicken Pizza: Shared on the first night, this thing is massive but for 6 people was just the right size (a personal size pizza is about the size of a medium 10 slicer from pizza hut while the full size is as long as the round table we were sitting at). Highly recommend this one, amazing flavours!
-the 1/2 order Macho Taco done with the breaded fish fillet: unless you can eat a horse I don't recommend doing a full order, these things are huge, but they are so insanely good you have to try at least one!! I did mine with fries and honey mustard dip.
-Soups: I did the Gazpacho, the Chicken Tortilla, and the Chicken Noodle...I loved every single one of them. The chicken noodle was on the menu the day the bf needed it the most and we all had some with garlic toast.
-Garlic bread basket: you get a ton but it's absolutely delicious! Soft and flavourful, not dry and crunchy.
-Fries: If you get the sweet potato I suggest you ask for the chipotle mayo, if you get the regular they're lightly battered like some fries are and they're great with any dipping sauce.
-Scottsdalian chicken salad: Massive but absolutely delicious! The pinenuts and pesto sauce just make it work. And they aren't skimpy on the chicken!
-Onion Petals or Fried Zucchini: I suggest you go for both...seriously...the onion petals were just right on the onion to batter ratio, and the zucchini came as rounds not sticks and the batter was seasoned so they were super delicious and not so juicy they were scalding like you normally get!
-Florentine Cheese Dip: it's like a queso cheese sauce done awesome. You get enough to share and it's got a huge punch of flavour you just won't get enough of!
-Chicken Tenders: Again not skimpy on the chicken and cooked just right! Highly recommend with either the bbq or honey mustard sauces. Done buffalo style they're delicious!
-Rib Eye steak dinner: Great steak, they know how to treat a rib eye cut properly! The baked potato needed a bit more sour cream but I'm a sour cream addict so it may be just right for normal people ;) The vegetables that came with the steak were simply impossible not to inhale!
The front of house manager was a hoot the entire time we were there, though we only saw him the first two of the dinners we had in the restaurant proper, and as a treat for their anniversary he had a dessert brought out which was their brownie sundae...not recommended for a single person (unless you skip dinner), it was absolutely delicious and very easy to polish off between the six of us.
The manager also was kind enough to send a bottle of merlot to their room as a surprise, what a nice guy!
We will definitely eat there again even if we're not staying in the hotel next time.
