Romantic Dining With An Historic Twist

Within a short drive of the Legacy Golf Resort, where we stayed, is one of Arizona’s first resorts, the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa, crowned the "Jewel of the Desert." The consulting architect for the resort was the famous Frank Lloyd Wright, who had collaborated with his student Albert Chase McArthur in designing this magnificent resort.

What better way to enjoy a romantic evening than to take a fascinating historic tour of the resort and top this off with dinner at their famous signature dining venue, Wright's.

As you meander through the halls and grounds of the resort you will notice its dramatic style that favors indigenous materials and influences. Take a look at the ceilings-yes, they are gold leaf!

Also to be noted is the superlative works of art reflecting the land and its people.

Every US president since the resort’s opening in 1929 has enjoyed a stay here. Irving Berlin wrote his famous song White Christmas while staying here in 1939. It has also touched the lives of many Hollywood celebrities--Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Liza Minelli, Bing Crosby, Clark Gable, Nancy Regan, Harpo Marx, Joan Crawford, and Marilyn Monroe.

After the tour that lasts about an hour, you are ready to enjoy dining fit for royalty. Wright’s is where you will indulge in a memorable culinary experience tasting creative New American cuisine with a delightful choice of wines from their magnificent wine list. It is here where guests understand why Wright’s has received many accolades including the "Best of Award of Excellence" from Wine Spectator magazine and the "DiRona Award" from Distinguished Restaurants of North America.

As a starter you may want to try the delicious pan-fried scallops followed by mixed baby greens, and then onto the main course--roasted veal porterhouse. Don’t forget to leave room for the mouth watering strawberry soufflé topped with strawberry sauce.
