FnB is firmly in my Top 3 favorite restaurants, and the only one of my 3 that is actually affordable to eat at more than once a year.
I'll admit, my wife and I moved from the Phoenix area just before Pavle & Co jumped to their Baratin location, so I can't vouch for the vibe and atmosphere of the new place. I can however vouch for the fact that we only had 2 dishes that disappointed over approximately a dozen visits.
Their championing of Arizonan wines is brave, and ultimately a brilliant move, given that there are now so many incredible wines coming out of that state. The most amazing thing at FnB however, is the dizzying array of vegetable dishes that Chef Charlene would create - the Leeks and Grilled Broccoli standing out immediately in my mind.
Pavle is undoubtedly the most charming host you'll ever meet - if he ends up serving your table, you'll see what I mean.
We miss this place so much... When we next are in the PHX area, we'll have another visit to FnB inked into our schedule.
