  • I would give this place a 4,5 rating if that was possible but a 5? Hmm not quite there yet....... We had the 5 course tasting menu and hands down, it was really good! *Palm of hearts salad with raspberries, kiwis and lots of other tasty treats was a work of art. Probably one of the most beautiful appetizers i have had. It tasted just fine but looked even better. *Boudin blanc of veal and rabbit with chantarelles and truffle. This was one of my favourites and the boudin blanc was great in texture and flavor and the chantarelles and truffles went really good with the dish. *Salmon with condiments. The salmon was pan seared and had a wonderful texture and perfectly cooked. It came with a sweet pepper sauce that worked great with the fish. *FilĂ© mignon. A small tiny bit of tender meat with some kind of marrowbone reduction and sweet potatoes 3 ways. A nice dish but a little tiny and not as good as the salmon. *For dessert i had white chocolate semifreddo with foam of passionfruit. I dont think the taste of the passionfruit went so well with the semifreddo wich by the was also was tiny. I think we got about 6-7 Amuse bouche as well as the food above, some better then others. I cant really complain about free dishes or the fun whimsical style of the amuses but i can offer some advise when i compare this great little restaurant to other similar restaurants ive been to that has recieved that 1 or even 2 stars from Guide Rouge, Michelin or what you prefer to call it. Cut down the amount of amuse bouche to maybe 3-4 and make half of them (at least) savory. The feeling we got was that almost all the small dishes where sweet. It would have been great with a small amuse bouche with meat, fish or even seafood, And even though the waiters/waitresses are very friendly and does a good job they really could use more time explaining all these advanced dishes so people who eats there would get the most of the experience. We had two charming young boys (sons of Mr Binkley himself perhaps) who served us some of the dishes and they described the dishes so fast we where sitting there looking at each other when they left wondering what they just put in front of us. I think you really have to know the food and how its prepared on a "fine dining" place like this as its more the complete experience then only the food that counts. Pricewise its not cheap but at 79 $ for 5 dishes (+ many small treats) + drinks, tax & tips its much cheaper then it would be here in Scandinavia. Im sure if Chef Binkley keeps refining the dishes and sharpens the waitstaff this place could get a star in the future. I recomend it anyway for the good food and nice ambiance even though Cave Creek is a bit out from civilisation.
