| - The Thanksgiving prix fixe 4 course meal was one of the best meals I have ever had anywhere. And I moved to Scottsdale 2+ years ago from one of those foodie Meccas, Austin, TX, home of Top Chef Paul Qui. The first course, a Brussel sprout and hazelnut slaw, was outstanding. The second course, a spicy shrimp and red quinoa dish that I thought had a touch of orange flavor, was also fabulous. I liked that these first two courses were both super nutritious and insanely delicious. The third course was prime rib or turkey. The boys went with the prime rib with a mushroom grazy, mashed potatoes, and sautéed kale. I went for the more traditional turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and cranberry sauce. The sugar snap peas were cooked to perfection, as were the other vegetables. It was more than I could eat, but my son was happy to take the leftovers back to his dorm at ASU. The dessert choices were limited and a trifle disappointing, but not enough to dampen my enthusiasm for all that had come in courses one through three. We hope to make this a new family tradition and eat there every Thanksgiving. I plan to eat there as often as I can. While pricey, we basically got the meal of our lives for three adults for the same price one steak and a couple of sides would cost at qui in Austin. The decor, ambiance, breathtaking views, and service were all that one could hope for. Whoever their chef is, I think someone referred to him as Chef Ron; hang on to that guy! We don't drink alcohol, so we cannot comment on the bar situation. But we did eat at the bar and the service we received at the bar was outstanding.
