    Trendy spot! Farm to table and local AZ wines! They have a ton of seasonal options and the portions are big, so be sure to share. I loved my black cod with chanterelles.

    Spent New Years Eve at FnB with our entire family. Couldn't have asked for a better night out. The food was simply the best in this town. We ordered everything on the menu and were happy we did.

    If you want a real inside look, ask for the Frank Sinatra table for 2. It's literally inside the kitchen so you can see them prepare the food. But be prepared: it gets a little warm in there!
