Wright's in the Arizona Biltmore, one of our all time favorites. The service is superior. For some reason you feel very elegant in this Frank Lloyd Wright dining room, the photo at left was taken during the daylight hours so you can see some of the architectural interest in the room. There is also a romantic outdoor patio. The food is contemporary American cuisine with such items as Black Angus filet mignon, peppered salmon filet with a champagne ginger sauce and many other great dishes to tempt you. Open for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. Expensive and worth it!. Wright's is well worth the trip! and  if you're in-house, enjoy, enjoy!

My main point in going are the Stone Crabs, such a delicacy that we miss so much from the Florida coast. You can find them here in season (that old saw about months with an "r" in them). One of the greatest meals you can eat and served with that delectable mustard sauce. Of course, the ambiance and the steaks are great too. I'm just so set in my ways! Call 602-264-5967
