Prescott Dining Adventures

Prescott Dining Adventures are finally wonderful. Moving from the San Francisco Bay Area to Prescott, I was very spoiled in having top quality restaurants. In fact, for 10 years I was paid to take people to restaurants and paid to eat in restaurants. Thus returning to my computer to write and critique the experience. I ate the best food in the best settings. Anyone who visits the Bay Area knows how wonderful the food is. Moving here in 1996 left me with almost no place to eat. I would special order foods and my husband and I would cook and light candles and get out the silver and pretend we were in a fine restaurant.

Fifteen years have passed since I arrived in the wild west of Prescott, Arizona. Prescott has blossomed beyond steakhouses and fried food. We now have bistros, four star restaurants, and wonderful ethnic cuisines. We have secret coffee shops, organic diners, and wine bars.

We have one restaurant that I have passed by for as long as I can remember. A few weeks ago my client sugested we eat at The Aloha Grille  for lunch. She said it had become her favorite spot. As I said “sure that will be great” I thought why had I never gone there? It is just 5 minutes from my office, out of the busy part of town, and obviously a great hideaway location to take a client. I guess I just never thought of saying “Aloha” in Arizona????

We met and I had the Wednesday special, Pulled Pork Salad. Oh my………………. did I fall in love. It was heaven. I did not have a half salad, I had the whole thing and ate the whole thing! So, today I went back. But still trying to figure how odd it was to eat in an “Aloha” restaurant, I decided I better have a new item on the menu. Today I had the Chicken Curry Salad. What a healthy taste sensation! I loved the curry dressing and the craisins, macadamia nuts and grilled chicken. What a great lunch.

I think the atmosphere and the menu is just what I would recommend to someone looking for great local fare with a healthy twist. I can’t wait to go back!
