Let's start this review with the statement "I wasn't even hungry." Which, I wasn't.  Raz was the hungry one and he insisted we do dinner when I was ready to curl up and just be out cold by 8pm after a really significant train and hiking adventure. But, I'm a sucker for his puppy-dog-eyes, so there we all were, walking into a hotel on the far side of Wilson, AZ well after nightfall.

I was duly impressed by the decor, which will become my new definition of modern western elegance. I was less impressed by the live music entertainment, but there was a live, local entertainer who was actually quite a skilled singer even if his style wasnt to my taste.

Our server was fast, efficient, and friendly, truly exactly what you want in a server at a good steakhouse. I stuck to just an order of French Onion Soup, and helped with the Garlic Brie appetizer. Raz went for the 16 oz. Porterhouse, and his daughter had the Chicken Fajitas.

My soup was good, I mean it's hard not to like one of my favorite dishes. It wasnt the best I've ever tasted, but it was solid execution. The still-sizzling Garlic Brie was melty and flavorful, better by far than the soup. Raz's steak was my idea of a perfect medium-rare, which simply reminded me that I should have read the cooking descriptions, since Raz ordered "medium." 

The fajitas were actually straight-up good, some of the best I've sampled, actually, which makes them worth their heafty price tag. All-in-all, though, the hundred-dollar price tag on dinner for three does seem a bit steep, and that's what keeps this review out of the 5-star range.
