How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
My wife surprised me for father's day with a trip to Talking Stick and a dinner at this stunning restaurant. This place celebrates the desert and all things Arizona- the view is incredible in every direction, and the ambiance of the interior is just as stunning. When we arrived there was a lounge singer near the waiting area with a drummer and pianist accompanying her- we were taken back to our table and the menu was explained in great detail by our friendly server, Lisa. Once we ordered, we were encouraged to spend our wait for the food sipping our drinks on the 15th story patio that overlooks the golf course. I killed my smartphones batteries taking pictures of the wild horses wandering the outskirts of the property. My wife ordered the pork chop- I had the Australian lamb. They were both very good- as were the sides, drinks and dessert (smore creme brulee). All in all, we spent two hours there and never felt rushed. The bill was expectedly high ($170 after tip- roughly the amount we paid for the room that night), but for me, eating here is a one-time thing anyway, so the expense isn't one I have to plan for in the future. Not really a place I'd drag my toddlers. I highly recommend Orange Sky if time and money are no object....pick from the following. 1). negative; 2). positive; I think the answer is
