| - NOMNOMNOM. I have been here about 4 or 5 times and it never disappoints. Yes it is a bit pricey, because, sadly, you do pay more n this country to eat healthy food. But this place does it right with local fresh ingredients and sustainable items. Their menu changes seasonally and I am happy to say that the summer menu is as good as the winter one was.
We started with a glass of Tangent Pinot Grigio, which was perfect and was served in an ice bucket at our table side. My buddy and I shared the watermelon and heirloom tomato salad and WOW. Best and most interesting salad I have had in Phoenix, and I go out every night I am in Phoenix, which means three nights a week for the last year and a half. My bud ordered the salmon, which she liked alot but still prefers the preparation they do in the winter months. That didn't stop her from scarfing the whole thing down, though. I had the halibut with Asian mushroom and eggplant. The halibut was perfectly prepared and worth the $26 price tag (I told you it is pricey). I loved the eggplant, the squash, and the sauce, but am not a fan of the mushrooms, which were too tough to cut and a bit of a disappointment. I am still a bigger fan of the pan seared trout that I had last time I was here, and that is what I will get next time. I am usually not a fresh water fish eater, but the preparation here is divine and I still dream about that darn fish.
My partner in crime insisted on ordering the flourless chocolate cake for dessert and the one bite I allowed myself was to die for. It was swimming in warm caramel and topped with very rich vanilla ice cream. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE. Truly fabulous.
