    Our friends visiting from California loved it. We sat outside in perfect weather and very much enjoyed our meal. The shrimp pepper pot is always delicious and the cinnamon buns to start are a real treat. Excellent food, nice view of Camelback Mountain, wonderful ambience, plentiful parking. What more could you want?

    This was a great choice for our anniversary celebration. The ambience and grounds were spectacular. All the entrees we ordered were very tasty, a bit on the pricier side but didn't feel cheated given the excellent service and ambience. We had a shrimp appetizer that was exquisite. Their complimentary sticky buns were tasty.We also had their lobster entree, their salmon and chicken pot pie. My family loved the food , it was freshly made. Would highly recommend for a special occasion. We loved the camelback Mountain View
