 Trumpetsat Sun City Anthem, inside the club house. This is in a really beautiful lay-out. The building looks somewhat like a prairie style building (Frank L. Wright), but it isn't. It is low slung with tentacle-like wings. The restaurant style is, for me, undefinable. Is it 30's? Is it post modern? Is it art deco? I can't tell. The menu is extensive and for this type of restaurant, moderately priced. Entrees run from $17 to $23 a la carte. Daily specials are about $24 for the complete dinner. Wines are from $19 to $76 etc. etc. you get the idea. Sun City Anthem members get substantial discounts on certain items at certain times. Service is quick and the servers (mostly young kids) are trained and knowledgeable. I had the salad Nicoise with tuna ($10.95). I had some trouble with that. The menu did state crisp baby greens and haricot verts. Traditionally a salad Nicoise has no lettuce greens but simply potatoes and French beans (des haricots), mixed with anchovies, capers, chervil, tarragon, tomatoes and olives, a bit of olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. In other words: it is a very simple dish. No use throwing sliced, hard boiled egg on it. Or too many crisp baby greens. I know chefs have some leeway but this is too much. My friend had the stuffed raviolis in a cheese sauce which she liked a lot. That was OK by me, (she paid for the dinner). They did have a watermelon soup that was simply outstanding, very refreshing with a touch of Pernaud. There was also a spinach salad with spicy pistachios and buffalo cheese. It too was really great. For dessert a chocolate cake. The chocolate top had a fingerprint in it. Probably the person that had cut and served the cake. All in all a very good dinner for the price and excellent service. I shall return.  |
