| - I love bringing newbies to a place I know they are going to truly love. Such was tonight. First, our watier, Shawn, was amazing. Our guest likes to have the waiter pick their favorites for him and Shawn stepped up to the plate! We started with my recommendation of the creamy, mouth-watering Bone Marrow . But Shawn's pick, the green chili pork papusa was the table favorite. Then came the entrees. I had a tender flat iron steak, my hubby had the trout, our kids had the flat iron steak and the pork belly and our guest had the sand dabs. All of us were happy with our picks but most of all, we LOVED our sides. WE pushed them all in the middle of the table so we could share. I had baby beets that were topped with an amazing sprinkle of cilantro, jalepeno and cashews, hubby had a roasted cauliflower with a curry sauce that melted in our mouths but Shawn's pick was the favorite of the table - dates with goat cheese and a sweet vinagrette that popped in your mouth when you took a swig of red wine (AZ Stronghold Magnus on tap - way to support our local wineries!). Next came a round of shots with infused fruit in the middle. Nice touch! Then came the desserts and we were all very quiet as we ate. I also don't remember anyone wanting to share. From a tantallizing, sweet creme brulee with banana, frozen raspberry, pretzel ice cream to Shawn's pick of navel orange sorbet doused with liquid nitrogen...the presentation was incredible. Suffice it to say, this was an incredible experience...we LOVED Shawn. And we can't wait to come back to try Sunday brunch, lunch or just sit up at the bar. The staff is so nice, we would just want sit and drink and relax. We will be back!
