  • I have been dining at El Chorro Lodge since 1974. El Chorro Lodge is a family favorite. When Joe and Evie announced there retirement and selling of El Chorro, I am grateful Mrs. Dorrance saved El Chorro from turning into Paradise Valley's next luxury home subdivision. First and foremost, the renovations to El Chorro are fantastic! The patios have been enlarged to take advantage of the great views of Camelback Mountain, numerous fireplaces added to add to the ambiance and the charm of El Chorro preserved in the process. Kudos to the designers for saving the copper hood of the fireplace in the old dining room and relocating it to the renovated schoolroom bar! (One sad note, miss the "Knights of the Round Table" table that was next to old fireplace on the old main patio. Its now a service area, but time marches on!) The entire of the new restaurant speaks of old Arizona, but in a fresh and modern way. Photos and art work of happy times at the Old El Chorro decorate the walls and is a gracious nod to the past. The cocktail menu has been expand, and a second bar has been added with great views of Camelback Mountain. This is a terrific place to grab an old school martini or try one of their handcrafted cocktails. Our dinner was graced with the old relish tray, served on a cold plate instead of chipped ice. (Chipped ice would have been a nicer presentation.) Appetizers include the standard shrimp cocktail, flash fried lobster tail and new additions. Soup of the day or salad is included with the dinner entree, which is a nice touch in an ala carte world. My girlfriend enjoyed the filet, which was tender and cooked to perfection. I enjoyed the duck breast, which was flavorful, tender and not overcooked. Just two notes for improvements, I don't know what happened to the original recipes for the flash-fried lobster batter or the sticky buns, but please, please look for them! Some classic items just do not need improvement! Also, $5 for valet parking, please.
