THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Armitage Wine Lounge & Cafe Restaurant Review:

Armitage Wine Lounge & Cafe is tucked away in a quiet corner of the posh La Encantada Shopping Center. Wine is the focus, but the menu reads more like something found at a gastropub. But difference is that the food is elevated. Sliders, for example, are created with tender prime rib and come with a spiky tomato/horseradish sauce and au jus for dipping. At dinner, the tenderloin medallions are grass-fed beef, served with kale and a mushroom and tarragon beurre noisette. The weekend brunch specialty, Armitage Benedict, uses Asiago toast instead of an English muffin, prosciutto as opposed to Canadian bacon, asparagus and a slightly spicy hollandaise that is the color of the sunrise. Here, too, you’ll find cheese boards, antipasto boards and bruschetta boards. Enjoy one of the several flights of wine, or better yet, the Ultimate Bloody Mary with quality vodka, pickles, Havarti, salami, asparagus, olives and shrimp.
