    Kestrel | A Richard Blais Kitchen + Lounge exceeded all expectations with its stunning scenery and impeccable dining experience. Nestled amid scenic views of lush golf courses and majestic mountains, the ambiance was serene and captivating—a perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. The wine and drink selection was fantastic, with each sip expertly crafted to complement the setting. Our appetizers set the tone for the evening: the shrimp and pork rolls were bursting with flavor, and the truffle fries were irresistibly indulgent. For the main courses, we opted to share a variety of dishes, each one better than the last. The shrimp cocktail and flatbreads were light yet satisfying, while the taco salad bowl with chicken offered a refreshing, hearty option. The prime sandwich and burger were both perfectly executed, delivering rich, savory flavors in every bite. The attention to detail in every aspect of the experience, from the food to the views, was extraordinary. Kestrel is a must-visit for anyone seeking a culinary delight paired with breathtaking scenery. We can’t wait to return!

    Our first time to Lavender’s, and we throughly enjoyed our evening experience. We were greeted by managers as we entered, took us to the patio and thanked us for being there, that’s a surprise these days! Great service by all the staff, nice live music and the atmosphere was comfortable. Nice menu, served as we requested and didn’t feel rushed. It was a birthday dinner for my wife and they had a nice card and little gift at our table. We plan to make Lavender’s part of our ‘rotation’ for dinner spots……

    As always a real winner. Favorite restaurant in the desert. suburb food. All four of us had excellent cuisine from appetizers, dinners through deserts. We eat out frequently. Our waiter was excellent. Down to even clearing our wine glasses during our appetizer course so we’d have more room. The background music enhanced the evening not like some other restaurants where the musician thinks they are doing a concert. We come back again and again. Wish they had a loyal diner program. Thanks for always exceeding expectations.

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience dining Christmas Eve at Vicky’s! The Chilean Sea Bass and Rack of Lamb our group ordered were cooked to perfection, as were all side dishes. The ambiance was so festive with live entertainment in the background - it really made this the perfect choice for our special evening … Vicky’s is one of our favorite places to dine in the desert and has been for over 30 years now… we recommend it any time of the year!
