| - I was tossed between 4 or 5 stars because I didn't have a main course, but based on the appetizers, desert, wine and service we did receive, it was all 5 star worthy!
We started with the Caprese and the 3 baked cheese tarts. The Caprese was so fresh and delicious! I don't like tomatoes, but they looked so fresh and juicy, which my friend confirmed and gladly ate them all. The tarts were all perfectly sized for two people to share as an app. I was intrigued by the Triple Cream Brie with Proscuitto roasted tomato pesto and basil. It melted in your mouth and sent your taste buds into a party frenzy with the wonderful flavors, but to look at it you would never guess the ingredients. The fig tart was like a mini pie, very flavorful and had the perfect fig taste. We were full after sharing just the two apps, so decided to enjoy our wine (a nice Malbec from Argentina, can't go wrong!) and then try a desert. We went for the Cheesecake De Jour. It was a cheesecake, topped with a thin layer of cream cheese and fresh berries in a prosecco sauce of some sorts - it was to die for, but not in an over rich way. I could have had another slice! It was also sized large enough for two people to share and enjoy, without over doing it.
I am looking forward to getting back and working my way down through the menu, as well as the wine list. I am big fan of local AZ wines, and really like that many places are supporting their local wineries these days. Now if only they would bring in more than Arizona Stronghold....but not a reason to drop a star!
