• • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "Dinner entrees are reliable, though not quite as imaginative as the appetizers (I like to skip the entrees and just make a meal of appetizers). The bar is cozy and romantic"

• • Fodor's Choice: "In an adobe hacienda hand-built by cowboy artist Lon Megargee, this romantic spot has sweeping vistas of Camelback Mountain and the perfect patio for after-dinner drinks under the stars."
