Is your desire something spunky but not impudent? Or are you less of a connoisseur, simply hoping to savor a bottle filled with something that doesn’t resemble the byproduct of livestock? Then a selection from the revolving fine-wine list at My Wine Cellar is the rewarding decision. Draft and bottled beers, including many craft varieties brewed in Arizona, also are available. Pair them with a charcuterie board, bruschetta or shareable small plates. A spacious patio overlooking majestic sunsets behind the South Mountains completes the experience.
This family-owned and operated delight serves authentic Thai dishes that keeps bringing customers back for lunch and dinner. The kitchen is adept at everything from curries to pad Thai, served in a quaint space that features traditional art. The green curry is a particular favorite of repeat customers. The food is prepared to accommodate each customer’s taste in spice and flavor while maintaining the true original taste of Thai food. This includes vegetarian and vegan options. Takeout is available.
