| - As with my other reviews, I've dined at FnB a number of times before posting. I attended the winemaker dinner for Canelo Hills last night, and that was one GREAT experience. These guys (and girls, chef Charleen and sous chef Sasha) have got a wonderful thing going. Simple, well-executed menu of local/seasonal ingredients. I'm addicted to their pasta offerings. Addicted. I simply cannot dine here without having the pasta dish; fortunately I'm a big eater and can manage that and starters and sides and an entree or two. Sasha's touch with the pastas is magical, and no matter what the pasta or ingredients, it will rock. Jidori chicken is sublime, juicy inside and crispy skin outside. Beautiful, savory lamb. Ribeye with tapenade-like relish from Charleen. A wine list of Arizona wines, one of the ballsiest moves I've ever seen. Grilled asparagus with crispy beet chips...now I make beet chips at home, they're that addictive. My experiences at FnB have always included excellent service... and very reasonable prices. My accomplice and I have at least four courses, wine, coffee and after-dinner drinks; our check has never been over $160.
Make reservations for the counter, and let the staff here wow you.
