Dining room at T. Cook's, Phoenix, AZHoused in the historic, classy Royal Palms Resort & Spa, the restaurant's surroundings, grounds and décor are elegantly old-world and rather romantic. High-vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, live palm trees and intimate dining nooks have made this longtime establishment a favorite for locals celebrating special occasions. Start off with one of the signature appetizers such as the lobster and fennel bisque or Burgundian escargot with red onion, roasted garlic and pancetta. Executive chef Lee Hillson's seasonally-changing cuisine takes diners on a tour of the Mediterranean with dishes like paella, pan seared monkfish with Moroccan style shrimp stew, and osso buco with apple gnocchi, rapini and whole grain mustard reduction. Guests can also design their own three-course prix-fixe menu on Sunday through Thursday evenings or opt for the Farm to Table three-course tasting menu that focuses on locally grown and organic ingredients. Save room for top-flight desserts or the chef's impressive cheese plate with house made accompaniments. The notable wine list includes selections of verticals from wineries such as Beaulieu Vineyard in Napa Valley.
