About:

Originally built in 1923 as the Rialto Theater, it was the longest running single-screen theater in the United States until December 1998, when a fire completely gutted the building. Reopened in December of 2005 as The Tavern Grille, you will see the charred concrete walls that frame the dining room today. The building next door, built in 1925 as a grocery store, was converted into the upscale Tavern Hotel in 2011 and guests enjoy welcome cocktails at the Tavern Grille Bar after checking in. Upstairs from the Grille is a luxury penthouse that is part of the Tavern Hotel experience.

Review:

This was our second visit to The Tavern Grille, you can read the first review (here). For starters we ordered the Santa Fe Spring Rolls, they were very flavorful and ancho ranch sauce melded well.

To drink I wanted the Lumberyard Red Ale from Flagstaff but they were out so I went with the RoadRash IPA from That Brewery in Cottonwood. I had the RoadRash during our last visit and really enjoyed it and I enjoyed it again this time. For my main selection after being undecided I finally went with the Baja Fish Sandwich. I wasn’t disappointed with my choice, the brioche bun was super soft and between it was a large fried beer battered Alaskan cod filet topped with pepper jack cheese, shredded cabbage and a Baja sauce. The fish was crispy, moist and flaky and the Baja sauce had great flavor and brought the sandwich together.

This was our second visit to The Tavern Grille in Cottonwood and we will be back again next year when we spend the spring in the Verde Valley. If you are in the Verde Valley, check out The Tavern Grille.

Cheers,

Chris

About Christopher Maitland

Cooking (and eating) great food is my passion. I am a self-taught home cook on a culinary journey where I am constantly discovering new tastes from recipes whilst teaching myself to cook and most recently bake. I created foodiemadesimple.com blog, after encouragement from my friend and web master Jerald, as a means to document and share all my culinary experiences and recipes with everyone. I strive to constantly create great food, simply and provide pleasant memories for friends and family who benefit from this culinary endeavor. Well in early 2017 my wife and I decided to sell our sticks and bricks house and rent one in a neighborhood we thought we wanted to move to to determine if we wanted to purchase a fixer-uper, remodel and make it our own. Several months later my wife said I don’t to set up another house just to pack it up and move again. What do you think about getting an RV and then when we decide where to buy we will have a place to stay while we remodel the new house and not have rent and a mortgage. I thought this was a brilliant idea and thus began the process of looking for the right RV. I found the right RV after months and months of research and looking, a 2018 Open Range Roamer 371MBH. This model has a mid-bunk that I use would use as an office with a door that will shut, wife requirement so she will not have to listen to me on the phone. Then the next challenge my current truck a GMC 2500HD will not tow the new 5er. So a truck shopping I went. Problem solved a 2017 RAM 3500HD Laramie 4X4 Dully with a Cummins Diesel. So bought the truck and 5er, put the house on the market and stated the task of downsizing from a 3600 sqft house to a 410 soft 5er and 2 10X15 climate controlled storage units. The house sold in November 2017 and after running foodiemadesimple.com for 3 1/2 years, Jerald and I decided to start rvcookingmadesimple.com where I will take what I created in a rather large 200 sqft kitchen in my sticks and bricks and recreate it in an RV kitchen breaking it down and making it simple. I hope you enjoy.
