I have been wanting to try this place ever since I saw it on 'Check Please Arizona' (PBS) a few months ago. I finally got to go for my birthday last night and was not disappointed. First of all, I love that they have a gluten free menu and not just one or two items, on the contrary there are quite a few GF menu items to order. If you are GF, please let your server know right away and they will bring out freshly baked GF bread for you. It was just scrumptious! The butter melted on it and was so yummy.
Our server was really on point. I wish I could remember her name, she was very attentive without hovering over us. The busboys were always making sure our waters were filled. The ambiance was really great. The interior dining area is picturesque, Old West-ish but cozy, warm and yet classy.
I started off with a Pinot Noir and the Tonto House Salad . The salad was wonderful and the size was perfect(appetizer size). My friend got a Merlot and the Caesar salad. For my entree I selected the Ancho Chili-Rubbed Filet. Oh. My. Word. Probably one of THE best steaks I have ever had. Medium rare done to perfection. The presentation was quite lovely.
My yfriend got the Mesquite Wood-Grilled Venison Tenderloin Medallions. Had a bite of that and it was just divine. Save room for dessert because you will be sad if you don't. I got the GF/vegan Chocolate Cake, it was served with raspberries, a raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream. My friend got the creme brulee. SO good. Seriously, we were in a food coma by the time we hobbled out to the car. The sun was setting and naturally it was another gorgeous Arizona sunset, a perfect ending to one of the best meals I have ever had.
