"The basil pesto was not as good as I remember. The vegetables were extremely salty on the chicken dish. The fondant potato on the duck dish was hard with an "unpleasant" flavor."

"New Yorker Delos Cooke built his western home in Phoenix on 65 or so acres in the late 1920s. The home has been updated significantly and is now the Royal Palms Resort sitting on about 9 acres of the original acreage. The setting is exquisitely done with terrace seating (recommended), as well as indoor seating. Service is attentive without being overbearing. The menu has a wonderful selection of dishes and specials and the wine list has an impressive core of mid-priced varietals that will please almost any budget. Great restaurant for a romantic dinner or other special occaison or if you just want to treat yourself. I would absolutlely return, maybe even to stay at the resort!"

"We had a wonderful birthday dinner.......it was my husbands first visit to T.Cook's and he's not big on eating out, and he loved it .....is still talking about it. The foliage and flowers make it seem like a island resort.....still the architecture is very much Southwest. We loved it!!"

"pros- beautiful setting and great menu with lots of interesting options for any foodie. Everything our table of 4 had was delicious.
cons - service felt rushed and unprofessional for such a nice restaurant. Some courses came before others were finished and no time to finish our cocktails."
