| - I went to Posh for my birthday dinner and got the full menu with my wife ($110 each, plus $15 for foie gras). I can't possibly give it higher rankings and it is one of the best restaurants I have been to in the metro Phoenix area. The full menu ended up being about 14 courses over a 4 hour period. I enjoyed everything served, and I am a pretty picky eater. The courses were as follows (I can't remember all of the accompaniments):
Amuse Bouche - lychee jelly with licorice and mint
Salad with goat cheese and cherries with a mustard vinaigrette
Popcorn soup with clarified butter and smoked paprika (tastes like the soup version of movie theatre popcorn!)
Black bass
Mahi Mahi
Grouper
Halibut
Foie gras brulee with watermelon broth and Bing cherries ($15 supplement that was worth every penny)
Kangaroo (tastes like very lean beef)
Frog legs
Venison
Lamb
Duck (great crispy skin)
Pork Belly (melts in your mouth)
Surf and turf (NY Strip and Loup de Mer)
Cheese plate (Maytag Blue and Humbolt Fog, the latter which my wife raved about)
Pear-Cabernet sorbet
Strawberry Rhubarb sorbet
Lemon cake on a chocolate sauce
Carmelized fig
Honey ricotta flan (I think)
Chocolate pate with chocolate tuile and white chocolate
Frozen fruit and ricotta cheesecake lollipop made on the anti-griddle
Cookies to take home (pistachio, peanut brittle and fruit biscotti)
Some of the courses were served together (sorbets and desserts), and all were small, but you fill up over the course of a few hours. The chef is doing a great job, and all of the food I saw come out of the kitchen looked, smelled and was amazing.
When you go, it is best to sit at the bar, and probably want to sit where the fires are going. If you want to splurge, this is the place to do it, but you can also get smaller menus....anywhere from 4 courses to the full menu. Everyone in the valley should be happy that this place is open. I put it up there with Binkley's, without the long drive.
