| - Ah... Binkley's. What can I say.
As a Chef, I'm was almost required to eat here, due to the fact that this place takes my craft to the next level.
I had the chef's tasting menu. It was 5 courses on paper, but with all of the little freebies and treats thrown in between courses, I think I had 12 or so.
The creativity of the food is borderline genius, yet at same time not over thought. It had elements of "aww..how cute" and elements of "holy dog fuck, this is good!".
I enjoyed my dinner with the wine tasting service that complimented each course. I will say though. some of their wine offerings were a bit mundane and talked up a little too much by the sommelier. Serving a Port I can get at Fry's for $11 a bottle with my dessert isn't something to boast about. Can't bullshit a bullshitter, but luckily I was in a festive mood and felt like being treated like a guest so I kept my mouth shut,
This is the kinda place to soak in all of the stimulation. Your eyes, nose, tongue and brain will be stroked.
Service was tight, and it better be for the amount of money being dropped. Chef Binkley is almost always on the line, watching every plate go out his kitchen window.
The Menu changes quite regularly with seasonal food being the focus.
I'd recommend this place as a special occasion spot. Save up your pennies and venture out to Cave Creek.
