One of our favorites is
El Chorro Lodge in Paradise Valley
Super service, world renowned sticky buns and a nice menu with something for everyone. Ummmmm! At this moment, I am sitting in Plano, TX but believe that I will call now and make reservations at El Chorro for tonight.
Here is a blatent pitch for several home town "goodies";
Fountain Hills is next to Scottsdale and hosts two nice art fairs. You're missing the Winter fair by one day.
Caroline's at the Fountain
Alchemy at Copperwynd
EuroPizza Cafe' (Great Italian food, not just pizza!)
