Best Wine Bars in Carefree

We ate in the lounge and our server Crystal was wonderful. She is so nice and engaging, made things very enjoyable. My appetizer was the Involti eggplant and it was so good. My wife had a Greek salad and really liked it. She ordered the Carni pizza, it was delicious. I had the Halibut puttanesca and requested the sweet corn risotto which they fixed for me. It was fabulous and I would definitely get it again The gentleman playing music in the lounge was very good and engaged the crowd, we had some good laughs.

Hidden gem … we dined on the patio. It was a beautiful day so no heat lamps or blankets were needed but they were well equipped and offered if needed. Great drink, appetizer and meal offerings. Service was excellent.

Love this place. Everything is delicious.. We ordered the sweet potato ravioli, which melted in your mouth, as well as a Kobe burger that my parents loved, and then we shared the butternut squash and brussels sprouts, which were very flavorful.. I think our waitress at lunch had a lot of tables so it took a while for us to get a drink and the food but she was very sweet and professional. I wish there was a location in the West Valley in Glendale or Peoria. We love this restaurant..

We reserved a corner quiet table for a business dinner and was placed in a corner with a long table having their own party. We ended up having to move to a different area with an empty table, away from the big group so we can carry a conversation. We ended up having a wonderful evening, was able to carry meaningful conversation. Food was great except the lobster bisque was ok

Talavera is a special place for special occasions ! We were celebrating a first wedding anniversary and were seated overlooking the wonderful view of the setting sun. The menu was an interesting mix of Spanish and steakhouse and we chose two appetizers to share -steak tartare and pan con tomate. While we waited with our drinks we were brought an amazing amuse bouche and without requesting a lactose free one for me- such a thoughtful gesture. The amuse bouche and the appetizers all were mouthwatering and prepared us for the high level of cuisine to come. Afterwards three of us chose the paella and one the trout. The individual pan paellas came chock full of seafood with the requisite crispy rice at the bottom of the pan! The saffron broth over the trout was so flavorful and the fish well prepared , as were the innovative sides of grilled asparagus and patatas bravas. We felt like honored guests, as the service was attentive and respectful. As we were deciding whether to go on with dessert, they brought a charming special dessert treat of chocolate and cherry filled hearts for the happy couple. What a wonderful end to our special celebration. The gorgeous Spanish guitar music only added to the romance of the evening. We will be back for our next special occasion.
