We ate here to celebrate our engagement during a weekend getaway to AZ. My fiance had coordinated with the restaurant beforehand to have rose petals and 2 glasses of champagne set for us before we arrived. The rose petals were fresh and a mix of red, yellow, and pink... beautiful colors! I ordered one of their fish dishes that came is a REALLY hot skillet, and I accidently burned my hand on the skillet. We saw one of the employees walking by, so we asked if he had anything for the burn, and he ran off looking for burn spray and bandaids. He was back in no time with everything I needed to treat the burn - amazing service! I THINK his name was Nick, but I can't remember. Good job, T Cooks! read more

Impeccable, memorable, 5 star service was our experience from every employee. Staff were warm and attentive; you imagine your at a friend's Estate and all the staff have been instructed to treat you royally, and we were. Food at T. Cook's honestly was for the price and everything considered a 3.5 which ends at a 4 star average because of the service. We did the $99 summer 3 course meal: I ordered a Cherry blossom cocktail $12. I was imagining this to come out in some hip glassware with some kind of cool cherry blossom fruit/flower flair, but no just a normal glass, kind of like you would get any average place. Wow the description of the cocktail had me thinking up something divine. Ok back on point,,, Bread: Served Warm, toasty (it better be, this is one of my pet-peeves, it must always be W/T. It was. Served with delicious, outstanding pesto. I ordered the crab cake for my 1st course and it was good;but it is contending with Crab cakes I've had in Maui at Mama's Fish house. Beach Vs Desert crabcake? It isn't a fair match but a definite honorable mention for desert contender. Regardless I've still got my Cheshire cat happy face on. 2nd course : Neiman Ranch Pork CHop with balsamic glaze. Excellent cut of meat ,tasted like steak, but for me the glaze was a little salty. This was accompanied by baby carrots & Potatoes Anna, my carrots were kind of hard I really had to pin them down to get a bite prepared. I was wishing I had Lorraine not Anna on the potato front; mine were kind of bland. Dessert : Chocolate truffle ganache cake,HOME RUN!! OUTSTANDING!!!!! Total Bill w tip included $175. Summary, Considering the overall value and we went here on a gift certificate I might feel compelled to remove a star if on our own dime/ dollar. but again customer service was outstanding so I think overall you pay for that and it did make for a special occasion, so verdict remains! I would love to come back for dessert anytime ] . The grounds are pristine!! It is a gem of a resort. read more

I had high hopes but the food fell short. The ambiance was really nice and romantic and the service was excellent with just the right level of attentiveness and well-paced courses. The food was lacking, however. A medium rare filet came out verging on well done. The recook was rare. A restaurant of this supposed caliber should have no problem with something as elementary as cooking a steak to the proper temperature. Outback "Steakhouse" can do this. Regardless of the issues with temperature, the food was fairly lackluster. The charcuterie slate was nothing more than grocery store level prosciutto and the food was generally underseasoned. For a $200 dinner, the meal should have been exceptional. It wasn't even close. read more

I loved everything about our evening here. My Hubby brought me as a Mother's day gift. Everything was amazing. The beautiful resort really made it special. The food was outstanding. The service was perfect. We ordered the bison tar tar, and I really loved it. The portion was huge, we couldn't finish it. I had a martinez, it was made great! I had the short ribs with bone marrow and my Hubby had the chicken with sausage. I loved my meal, it had so many flavors, the vanilla onions took it to another level, and the marrow, wow! I tasted my Hubby's meal and it was very good. I would say we would chose something else next time, but it was still great. The sausage was not that good. We also had the chocolate dessert, I would pass on this next time. The cake was not my thing and part of the flavor wasn't what I dream of when I dream chocolate dreams :) I would love to try the apple fritters maybe. I am excited to go back also because they give you a surprise gift you open on your next visit... I can't wait to come back and just happy hour it, the bar was beautiful and the music was so impressive. read more

I have to say I was really disappointed with my first experience at this restaurant. We went on Valentines day so it was a fixed menu. I am gluten and dairy free so I know my choices can be limited but I go out to eat all the time and am not usually so disappointed. For spending $500 I feel like some accommodations could have been made. The first tasting was something wrapped in cheese so I couldn't have it. Then I ordered the octopus. It didnt taste right and was so dry and overcooked I asked to have a salad instead and specified without cheese. It came with cheese. Our main dishes weren't good and then there were no options for us for dessert. For scallops and a salad it was $125. The wine list was really unimpressive as well. There were multiple miscommunications and I feel the staff did not take my allergies seriously. I do feel I actually was given food with something I was allergic to because I was sick the whole next day. Definitely not worth it. This was especially disappointing for being Valentine's Day. We just wanted to leave. They could've served us strawberries even for desert but nothing was offered. The ambiance is really nice but I would not eat there again. read more

What an average dinner. T Cooks is in a beautiful hotel and has a great atmosphere. Not much else to offer. As a disclaimer, I had fairly high expectations considering the caliber of restaurant. The salads were mediocre at best. For the meal, I had the filet which had to be one of the worst filets I've ever had. My coworkers had the bison ribeye, and said it was good, probably would recommend that if you do go to the restaurant. One bright spot - the marscapone mashed potatoes, some of the best mashed potatoes I have ever had. The dessert was seriously lacking. I had a layer cake with peanut butter in it, I seriously thought that it came out of a Hostess box (no offense to Twinkies), it was the most bland and uninspiring dessert I have had in a long time. One coworker had a banana dessert that looked great, but no guarantees.... Lastly, they just redid their wine list, eliminating many of the upper end wines. Not that I'm a frequenter of the Reserve List, but if you're going for a special occasion or on a business dinner, you'll be out of luck. If you are staying at the Royal Palms, it is convenient. But I wouldn't venture more than a mile to eat here. read more

My friends and I had a fabulous spa day here at the Royal Palms, and lunch at T. Cooks was just the cherry on top! We wandered over from the spa at around noon and were seated immediately on their gorgeous shaded patio. With the Mediterranean decor and heaps of flowers in bloom, you'd never know we were in the middle of the desert. I started with a glass of their delicious red sangria, and the pour was VERY generous. I loved the veggies that came with the roasted garlic hummus, the watermelon radish, and the presentation was beautiful! We also split a salad that had huge globs of fresh burrata - heaven! The Spanish octopus was prepared well, though you basically get one giant tentacle perched on a blistered pepper. It was good, but definitely doesn't hold a candle to the octopus dish at Virtu and Nico. The paella was probably my least favorite because it was a little on the salty side, but the rice was cooked well and they were generous with the seafood. For dessert we shared the amaretto cake, which was absolute perfection. The portion sizes were perfect for us, especially as we were sharing a few things, but I think those with appetites might still find themselves a little hungry. Service and ambiance were top notch - we'll definitely be back next spa day! read more

The atmosphere is warm and pleasant. Nice patio with heaters if it's even a little cool. Lots of plants outside and a nice fireplace in the main dining room. The crowd tends to be on the mature side. The service is good and friendly, 7 out of 10. The food is pricey. The wine list is extensive, but possibly the most overpriced. Try the $20 wine sampler - 3 half glassesof your choice. The lobster bisque was a little bitter for my taste but my petite wife loved hers and finished mine. The $45 new york strip was ordered medium rare and came out medium, same is true for my wife's beef tenderloin. The presentation was very nice. Despite it being overcooked, it was delicious with a good medley of flavors. Overall, it was good but I'd go elsewhere for the money. read more

Had brunch there this past Sunday Dec. 5th. Great food, ambience and service. Shoutout to JAL who is a Rock Star and showed us personally around the property. Nice boutique experience all around. Highly Recommended! read more

Although I have eaten at T Cooks, the restaurant, I haven't eaten at the bar as much. But, after my visit tonight I can say that the bar is just as good and a great economic option when you want T Cooks but without the dining room experience. With live music in the background and a fire warming up the setting, it was a nice atmosphere along with good food! Plus, I love that the Royal Palms hosts events like a live music artist who creates art based on the music playing. read more

My wife and I ate here last night. They had a special going; a 3 course dinner for 50$, and we both opted for it. The place is very well designed, and very tranquil with fountains, and flowers. Its like you stepped into another world once you get there. The staff are very friendly. Our wait staff was on the spot consistently filling our water glasses, or replinishing our wine in our glass. From start to finish I was impressed with the quality and taste of the food. You can taste all the flavors. I had a special from the wood burning oven, brosin stuffed chicken, with risotto, fresh greenbeans and a butternut squash reduction. It was extremely good, I have never had chicken cooked so perfectly before, so moist and tender, so good! We definately will be visiting this place again. I think a few work dinners might be in order here too! We didnt visit the bar/lounge area. We went straight to the dining room. It got quite busy for a thursday night right around 7pm. It was good to see so business flourishing at such a nice restaurant. read more

T Cook's - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Went here for our anniversary. Was highly disappointed in so many things. Braised short ribs were bland actually tasted like boiled meat with reduced beef broth over it. I have had better chicken at pollo loco. The taste was like char and the skin was like rubber. The wine was way overpriced for instance I could get that bottle for 12.99 at wine and more but they sold it for $65 dollars. The atmosphere was very nice and service impeccable. The creme brûlée was good but not spectacular. I am giving 1 star for the atmosphere and 1 star for service. read more

Stayed at the Royal Palms (great resort!) so had the opportunity to try a few meals. Dinner: I had the agnolotti, which was great, nice big chunks of lobster, and also the scallops. Priced as it was, I couldn't believe I only got four scallops, on a bed of mushrooms and corn. They were cooked well, but still, that's practically $10/scallop. We had the panna cotta for dessert, which wasn't a real panna cotta, but instead a bowl full of creamy dessert and some berries. Good, but not quite what I was expecting. Breakfast: Amazing! Tried the granola, bread, smoked salmon bagel, eggs Benedict, fruit...A+++ Sunday Brunch: We had some amazing breakfasts at T. Cook's, so I was really, really, really disappointed with the brunch. I know brunch is usually a drop in class for any restaurant, but this was a precipitous drop. I opted for the buffet, nothing off the menu. Shrimp and crab claws that were just ok, stale olive bread, salmon that had been out for a little too long, and unappealing desserts--brownie and two little cakes were all sugar and I couldn't even finish them. Truly, the only food I actually enjoyed was the "parfait" (really just banana custard) and the jam, I think it was raspberry. I ate it plain because I did not want to chance another inferior bread item. Also, because of the busyness, service dropped off at brunch as well, so we were left sitting awhile for the check. $26 for this...not pleased. Average of the reviews: 4 stars. read more

This restaurant knows exactly how to make your tastebuds dance. The food was top notch and the service, impeccible. The duck and foie gras...to die for. Our server was so great and offered the perfect suggestions. We had polished off our bottle of wine before dessert and I hesitantly declined an after dinner drink. The waiter must of sensed this because upon my return from the ladies room to our table my husband informed me that our server brought me a complimenary drink. The ambience was romantic and I hope to return soon. read more

Overall 3.5 stars Highs - Desserts, cheesecake and ice cream Menu was surprisingly limited. Two fish, two beefs and lamb. Where was the fowl? Veggie? The octopus was excellent and the scallops with pork belly was good too. So why the 3 star? Mostly service expectations not met. My host was told over the phone they offered corkage, we arrive with bottles to be told no. We had an early reservation, 5:30p and the service was unusually rushed. Likely as they were try to turn the table three times that night? My partners flank steak was awesome, especially the duck fat chips. Dessert was the highlight, while the flourless chocolate was nice, it was very rich and heavy. The salted Carmel ice cream was fantastic. I feel like this restaurant is trying to accommodate more tables than it can really handle. If so they should lower their prices to raise the rating in my book. Not bad mind you, but I've had better in Phoenix. read more

My guest ordered the beef tenderloin and I ordered the skate (yes, the 'kinda sting-ray' fish). The tenderloin was perfectly cooked as ordered (between medium-rare and rare) ... a delicious prime cut. The skate was buttery-smooth and tender ... it practically melted in my mouth! However, our enjoyment came to a screeching halt when we ordered the "Molten Lava Cake". The presentation was fantastic ... a small pyramid-shaped cake next to a scoop of chocolate ice cream within a C-shaped curl of milk-chocolate. But the cake was cool to the touch, and the 'molten' chocolate interior was firm and cold. Even worse was the mini-scoop of chocolate ice cream; my guest and I both thought it tasted like chlorine! T Cook's stepped up and brought us another lava cake (with vanilla ice cream). No chlorine taste was detected in the ice cream (whew!), but the lava cake was only marginally warmer .. .and the center was still solid ... definitely not molten. The waitress explained that the kitchen couldn't heat it up any more or the chocolate core would melt and leak out of the cake onto the plate. I've had molten lava cake at other restaurants with melted chocolate centers; if they can do it, why can't T Cook's do the same? read more

I had the best experience with breakfast. The ambiance- excellent- the reason I am coming back and can have a 5 hour dinner. The service- pretty good The food- from "ok" to "really good" (but not the best) I recently had an over saltet paella. Great for happy hour, not sure about the quality.. if you want something light - there are not many options. Not good if you are on gluten free, grain free diet. Dinner/ full menu has more options for something light. Secluded and luxurious - a great hideaway from a crazy, busy world :) read more

Ruined my Christmas dinner, This was a lousy meal and poor service , the preset price for a 3 course dinner was far too expensive for what we got, the artichoke soup was inedible with hardened pieces of artichoke , the crab cake was 2 bites of crab in a soggy crust, the dessert was chocolate pudding, not panetonne as advertised on the menu. I could have mixed up instant pudding myself. Overpriced, at $95 per person without drinks or tip. The server was in a very bad mood. There was only one other table of guests when we arrived. I understand why it wasn't busy. Thumbs down to Chef Lee , this was a big waste of money for my family. read more

I really enjoy T cooks. The food is always great and seasonal. The decor is beautiful. The staff is all very attentive even in the bar next door. The Spanish octopus is by far the best I've had anywhere. The bottle prices are decent as well. read more

We had lunch at T Cooks twice this weekend. I wanted to visit the second time simply to confirm that it was as good as the first time. Beautiful ambience, excellent food and service, this place has it all. I had the winter pear salad and the crispy salmon. We also ordered the lobster bisque and the chicken salad sandwich. We each ordered a flight of wines, which is a bargain at $25 and highly recommended. We shared the dessert tasting (your choice of three small desserts for $8). They also have a cozy little chef's table for two. T Cook's was the highlight of our weekend in Phoenix! read more

A friend and I went to T Cook's last night for restaurant week. We had been wanting to try this place for a long time and were excited to go. This restaurant is valet only (which, if you know me, you know I have a problem with), so we dropped the car with the friendly valet and headed in. The grounds of this hotel/restaurant are beautiful and very well maintained. We were seated at this table with odd high back chairs that make you feel somewhat secluded from the rest of the restaurant. This would be nice except it seemed that it also secluded us from timely service. We were seated and given the regular menu and left for a long time. We had to ask for the restaurant week menu when the waiter (finally) came back. Not sure why they didn't bring out the menu originally... did they think if they didn't provide the restaurant week menu more people would order off the regular menu (when most of the people were probably there for RW). Anyway, our meal took a looooooong time, with many long pauses between ordering and courses. Otherwise, the waiter was pleasant enough. I started the meal with the corn bisque, which was very rich, creamy and tasty. It was easily the best part of the meal. My friend had the greens with the strawberries, and this was tasty as well. The mains were far less impressive. I had the saffron pappardelle and my friend had the chicken. The pappardelle was alright, but tasted sort of plain considering the ingredients. The lamb was not showcased, the mint it had on it was so minimal you couldn't taste it, and overall it tasted like something you could easily make at home. It also came out luke warm and the ricotta they put on it was ice cold. The chicken looked amazing, but also came out luke warm and had an odd flavor... sort of like a cleanser scent... it was odd. The chicken was sliced and lost any juiciness it may have had when cooked. Though neither dish was terrible, neither tasted like it came from a high end, expensive restaurant. I'm not sure why they chose to showcase these items on their RW menu, but I hope this isn't the best they have to offer, because it wasn't very impressive. The dessert presentation was beautiful... this place really excels in presentation.... but again, it didn't have that 'yummy' factor that is so important in a dessert. I had the chocolate torte, which was fun and had some great garnishes (the pretzel ice cream was surprisingly savory and tasty... the popcorn brittle stuff was awesome), but the torte itself wasn't that great. It was a milk chocolate and would have tasted much better if it were a dark chocolate... it didn't have that rich chocolatey flavor that you envision when you order a torte. My friend had the cheesecake, which was good, but again, nothing special. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back here considering the mediocre nature of the food and the price. PS when I was leaving, the valet went to get my car and brought someone else's car out.... that's a pretty big mistake... what's the point of valet if they're going to give your car to other people.... eeek. They did apologize and were nice, but I would be pretty upset if someone drove off in my car. read more

I love brunch. I love mimosas. So when I get both, I am happy. We had heard great things about T. Cooks and I had been years ago, so was excited when Travelzoo offered a brunch special. I snagged it and went with my husband and 3 year old son a few weeks ago. I am not a fan of buffets, but this is one buffet I will definitely be back to - and soon! It was fresh, plenty of selection, and I felt like I actually was able to eat my money's worth. Not only do they have fresh seafood, cheeses, meats, salad, fruit, waffles, eggs and pretty much anything you could want, but the desserts are so good!! Our son ate for free and I believe I read somewhere that kids under 12 eat free with a paying parent. That is amazing to me!! So many places over-charge for kids these days. Everyone was so kind. The service could be a bit slow, but I also like that at no point were we rushed. It gave us time to eat, relax, let one plate settle, and get another. I will be back and hopefully soon! read more

It was that time of year again, and I have to say that I'm still somewhat unimpressed. This place has such great potential, but its face just seems to keep writing a check that your stomach can't check. The devil is in the details, and for some reason, the details all fall short here. Its not that the food is bad...its quite good, actually. But for the price you pay, it should be perfect, not "quite good". Specifically, every bit of cooked meat that was offered was over-cooked and dry. Homemade chicken sausage looked delicious, but was nearly flavorless and seriously, I think I could get a more moist piece of chicken cooking it in the microwave. The fresh grill was lamb, which I love. Again, very very dry. That just sucks. And again, as with my last review from a year ago, if I'm spending the extra money on an entree, don't then give me an item on my plate that is readily available on the buffet that is included in the price. That makes me feel ripped off, and that your chefs are just plain lazy. So, for not fixing anything in the last year, I'm demoting this place by a star. I did, however like the new buffet and menu items. And, as always, the staff was friendly and attentive, professional and unobtrusive. Keep that up, but fix the stupid shit please! See you in a year. read more

I really wanted to love this place. It came highly recommended by Yelpers and a personal friend who used to live nearby, so we were excited to check it out. Set in the Royal Palms, you walk through a lovely garden to get to the restaurant. It was raining the day we went, so we coudln't sit outside, but I'm sure it's beautiful. We started with a couple glasses of wine, and the charcuterie plate. My bf loves cured meats, and we often order a similar appetizer at one of our favorite restaurants close to home. So we were terribly disappointed to be served a plate with only a couple slices of maybe 4 different meats, a small slice of pate, sliced pickles, a bit of mustard. That's it? For $13? The bread was served with some delicious pesto, but quite a bit of it, considering there were only 2 of us. For entrees, bf ordered the seared scallops, and I had the short rib. His tasted fine to me, but I only had 1 bite. Halfway through the meal, he thought it smelled like BO, and couldn't finish it. Mine was ok, really nothing to write home about. Maybe we didn't order the right things, but we just were not impressed. Service was great all the way through, thus the 3 stars. For me, the food wasn't bad, but nothing spectacular, as it should have been for the prices. Not sure what I was missing, but I just couldn't say this was a great experience. read more

T Cook's was awesome. My fiancé and I stayed at the Royal Palms with the Royal Romance package over last Christmas. And along with the package, we had 100 dollar credit toward T Cook's. We heard the restaurant was recently renovated and got a different menu and everything, so we were very excited to try. For appetizer, we got the foie gras which probably was one of the best dishes in our opinion. A tiny piece of foie gras sitting on a sizzling hot stone, combined with orange bread and sauce. It was perfection. We couldn't love it more. Though very pricey, but it's worth it. Then we got a garden apple salad, which the waiter told us the veggies were grown in T Cook's garden. Pretty cool huh? of course it was very fresh and delicious. For entrees, my fiancé got a steak. he shared a little bit with me and it was soooo tender and buttery, like melting in my mouth. the seasoning was so tasty and just perfect. I originally wanted the pork tenderloin, but they ran out. So I chose to get the duck dish instead. It was great, but duck itself is often too rich. Me being a 5'1 petite lady was almost full on the foie gras and salad, couldn't finish it. We didn't get any dessert because we were so full! But overall, we enjoyed the night very much. read more

Service A+. Food B-. There was beautiful seating outside next to the herb garden. I had the ribeye topped with Dungeness Crab on a bed of mushrooms and bacon. The steak was ok however; the mushrooms were amazing. My wife had the sea bass which was less than stellar. I gave the overall rating four stars, but the food honestly was about three stars. read more

T Cook's - Ribeye topped with Dungeness crab. - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is my first fancy restaurant in Arizona, and it certainly deserves to be one of the best; one I will return to for special occasions. My wife picked it as a romantic spot for her birthday, and it didn't disappoint. This place is awesome. You drive in, the palm-lined circular driveway instantly transports you elsewhere. The valet takes your car, and you pass through passageways of intricate lighting patterns. Warmly welcomed into the dining room, which is surrounded in brick, long drapes, and exposed beams to give a classy but comfortable feel. The chairs have nice comfortable cushions for a long stay. Waitstaff were all friendly and as fast or laid back as you want them to be. One thing that I really note is the bread course. Is the bread hot or cold? How is it served? Here, a small loaf of Italian bread with the signature dustings of flour, signifying an "artisan" bread, was served with a small bowl of fresh pesto sauce. The bread was hot, the crust crispy, the sauce deelish. It was a good omen. The food was all first-rate. While I had a vegetarian string: yummy Quorn empenadas, pear salad, and the delicately fried stuffed squash blossoms, my wife had the escargots napoleon (she loved it), the lobster bisque (which I tried--great flavor), and the Meditteranean Lamb. I also had a side dish of potato puree--creamy garlicky heaven! It is an expensive place, but I would say it is worthwhile, and definitely good for a special night. The food was delicious and servings reasonable: if you get all the courses, you can actually take some home! The dessert menu was quite extensive, too. I think enough to please everyone. I definitely would go back sometime--just make sure you have money in the bank, know what I mean? read more

I think this resort, and it's grounds, has to be the most romantic, sexy, and charming in all of AZ. I luv visiting as many of the resorts here in Scottsdale & Phoenix as much as possible, as all of them have so much to offer to delight all the senses. From the second you drive up to the lush & palatial grounds, you know you've come to the right place. Any stress or worries disappear immediately. I felt transported 9000 miles away in Europe. Make sure you slowly walk around and literally smell the flowers. The attention to detail is everywhere, including candles lit on the stairs - Awwwwwww ! The lounge is L-shaped, so it's perfect to find a quiet nook for 2, or join in & meet new people at the welcoming bar, or a sofa. The martinis were shaken and poured in the most excellent manner - and man, am i seriously picky about ingredients, the mix, the shaking, presentation, and the pour (please have little ice floating, please be ICE cold, frozen tini glass earns extra points!). Since we had eaten a very late lunch, we seriously wanted to try the nosh items, but only had room for the utterly amazing Chick Peas - I think they were flash fried? But the were so addicting! WOW. Since they were offering a really good special on a 2000 bottle of Perrier Jouet of Champangne, that topped off the night, while flute in hand, we strolled the gorgeous grounds, OK, seriously? I am going back before the end of the week. (And strongly hinting we should go all out & book next month before their summer specials end.....) read more

The food, the atmoshere, the service... it was all just top notch. Everything was excellent, but I especially enjoyed the paella. It was outstanding, the best paella I've had. Just be aware, it's a little different (in a great way) than most paellas in that the rice is fully cooked, but remains just very slightly al dente. Too many paellas have soggy rice, but the texture of the rice here really brings the dish to a higher level. Everything was excellent. read more

Came here a few years ago and the food was great. Now we are back and the renovation is awesome and the food is still just as good! I recommend the risotto and the short braised ribs.

Great dining experience. We came here for dinner during restaurant week and had their abbreviated menu. We sat outside on the patio, looking out at the courtyard. - Generous charcuterie platter - Lobster bisque was a revelation - Venison tartare was a bit underseasoned, but it was good - Beef tenderloin was cooked well, but not exactly memorable - Black cod was the best dish I've had in a while. It was served on a mix of fresh shucked corn kernels and lovely little clams. Great romantic dinner spot. Would definitely come here again. read more

For a special night, this is a great place. Great seating, inside an out, very romantic. I have to be honest, food was better than good, but not great, but you wont be disappointed. The vibe and service makes it stand as a super choice to make yourself feel good. read more

Hard to say exactly what you should order, but i've eaten here 5+ times, all three meals. the service has always been superb. We typically eat here when we stay at Royal Palms, so having a $50 meal credit softens the blow. Dinner IS pricey... Presentation is obviously big here. Portion sizes are just right. you won't be stuffed...you will have room for 3 courses. I generally order something unique here. not your typical "filet"...go to Donovan's or Dominick's for that. I think entree's are best. Apps/soups are #2. Dessert usually isn't the best part of the meal here. they almost try too hard with the desserts. they need to find a couple staples for dessert and make them home runs...i just haven't found that (yet). Beet salad. butternut squash soup. antelope. lamb. scallops. all winners. enjoy read more
