Palo Verde

While staying at The Boulders we tried Palo Verde twice once for dinner and once for breakfast. My breakfast experience was ok. My latte and meal were good. The server was attentive and friendly. Dinner on the other hand was entirely different experience. Our food took forever to get, and they were not busy. The waiters seemed confused about were people's food went once it came out. We saw a family of five be seated, the father got up to get their own menus after a while. They eventually walked out. It was to cold to sit outside for us, but they say the views are nice on the patio. When we return the Boulders we may eat breakfast at Palo Verde but will skip dinner there.

Sitting on the South golf course at the Boulders Resort in Carefree is Palo Verde. It's a simply elegant yet casual restaurant serving up Southwestern inspired dishes for breakfast and dinner. Sit inside the rotunda style main room or put on the patio overlooking the course and pond. While my daughter sticks with pancakes, my son and I can't pass up a good order of biscuits and gravy. Unfortunately, we didn't try much of the menu as dad joined in as well with the same order this time. We all enjoyed the cheddar jalapeno biscuits topped with chorizo gravy. Jack went with his go-to spicy Bloody Mary, and I sipped on a bourbon and peach schnapps iced tea. It was a nice family breakfast in the desert, followed by visiting the pond below. The kids loved getting the turtles and koi to inch cl

5 stars: I ordered a braised beef on mole sauce and it was amazing. Also our waiter Michael was for sure a hospitality pro. I will definitely come back any time I come back to Phoenix.

I was blown away by how tasty the food was. And the service was excellent. First of all the complementary bread includes their take on corn bread which was delicious Started with the butternut squash soup that that was rich, velvety smooth and savory. Their signature Chilean sea bass is flown in. It was fresh, moist and delicious. Eat outside if you can. The view is serene and beautiful.

The best part about this place is the view. Its a nice restaurant with friendly staff and seating, indoors and out. Sitting outside, overlooking the course, the pond and the landscaping is beautiful. The food on the other hand. We only experienced breakfast but what we had was mediocre at best. The food quite honestly reminds me of a café that microwaves prepackaged items. For the price, I felt no pride or love coming out of this kitchen. This place definitely needs to elevate the food experience or bring down the prices of what they serve.
