One of the Valley's premier restaurants, set in one of the Valley's prettiest resorts. The chef celebrates the flavorful bounty of baby vegetables, lighter meat dishes, and abundant fish from the Pacific Northwest. Mussels in a thyme-tinged Chardonnay broth, spit-roasted chicken paired with Swiss chard and chive whipped potatoes, and John Dory with baby beets, fennel and white-truffle celery jus are highlights. The decadent Collage de Chocolate, a chocolate sampler for two, provides a rousing finale. Great dress-up, special-occasion fun.

    Whenever we need a reminder of just how good we have it here in the Valley of the Sun, we have to head to T. Cook's spectacular Sunday brunch to put ourselves in the right frame of mind. Just setting foot on the Royal Palms property is enough to lighten our hearts — certainly one doesn't need to be a guest at the resort to appreciate its lush landscaping, stunning views of Camelback Mountain, and romantic Mediterranean courtyards. And inside T. Cook's, the energy is soothing and sophisticated, with sunlight brightening the elegant dining room as a classical guitar player serenades guests. The buffet is as gorgeous as it gets, a decadent, all-you-can-eat spread, with artfully arranged platters of smoked salmon, egg dishes, roasted and grilled vegetables, shrimp cocktail in martini glasses, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and several kinds of soft rolls and bread. Just as delightful (or maybe more so, if you have a sweet tooth) are pastry chef Pierino Jermonti's exquisite tarts, cakes, cookies, and bonbons, which take up a few tables of their own. Thanks to T. Cook's, Sunday's our favorite day of the week.
