With all the fancy new restaurants in the area it is easy to forget about a classic like T-Cook's at the Royal Palms Resort. The ambiance, service and food are as good as ever.
The chef, Lee Hillson, is very talented. He has been a contestant on Iron Chef America and really turns out a great product. His fresh spin on the classic dishes are delicious.
I was here in April for a multi-course meal as part of the Scottsdale Culinary Festival. Chef Hillson pulled out all the stops and in particular his lamb course was fantastic.
Yesterday I stopped in for lunch with one of my clients. We had the Fruit de Mar which was a fried calamari, shrimp, scallop dish. The seafood was good but the breading was a little much for my taste. I had the Turkey club sandwich which was very good. Heaped high with thinly sliced roasted turkey there was enough to take home for leftovers.
This is such a nice place. I always enjoy dining at T-Cook's.
