Taste Test
This upscale Southwestern is one of our favorite restaurants in the area. The food is fresh and seasonal, the desserts are great, and the bar turns out margaritas (try the Grand Canyon made with Grand Marnier) and other tropical cocktails made with fresh fruit juice. All that and reasonable prices too. Fave dishes include the spicy spinach and arugula salad, the zesty fish tacos, the huge spice rubbed steak and seasoned fries, and the vegetarian chile relleno stuffed with goat cheese and served over black beans and mushrooms. The homemade flour tortilla chips and smoky salsa are not to be missed either. Reservations are strongly recommended at peak times but waits have just been made easier with the opening of a lounge in the adjoining Blue Bay Inn.
