This is the best restaurant I've eaten at in the Phoenix area. It was unfortunately cold and rainy when we went in May, so we sat inside; a great treat was the local blues guitarist who was playing that night. However, the food was the real treat. We ordered the cheese and cured meat plate to start; the cheese was good, but I would skip the cured meats, which were some head cheeses and kind of weird other gross-ish meats (even my boyfriend who is into cured meats would tell you to pass). Everything else we ordered was superb; a house-made ravioli, a scallop special with peaches and greens, and especially the vegetables of the day, 2 dishes where the chef prepares seasonal vegetables to fit his mood. We also had dessert, a peach cobbler that was delicious. The waiter was knowledgeable and all his suggestions were right on the money. Yes, the prices are higher than you might expect, but the flavor you get out of fresher local ingredients is worth it. This is where I'll be taking my parents when they next come to town.
