The restaurant at the Phoenix Art Museum closed about a year ago and a new restaurant was opened in its place just a few weeks ago. When I visited the art museum two weeks ago, I decided to give it a try. I thought that large group table in the corner by the windows made for a pretty dining scene. The windows look out on the sculpture garden and the Phoenix Theatre next door.
It was about 1:45 when I arrived so the lunch crowds had thinned out considerably. That made it easy for me to grab a few photos of the new decor from where I was sitting.
I ordered the butter-leaf salad which contained crispy prosciutto, pecans, tomato, pears and blue cheese topped with a creamy dressing. Let me tell you, that salad was delicious. I all but licked the bowl.
The new place is called "Alden" and is named in honor of Alden B Dow, the architect of the original museum building that opened to the public in 1959.
I'll make a point of visiting the restaurant again.
I could go for that salad right now, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful, and that is a great museum.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful. Your salad looks and sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice place, and that salad looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteThat large corner table by the windows must have the perfect view of the sculpture garden. And honestly, that butter-leaf salad with the crispy prosciutto and pecans looks divine. I completely get why you almost licked the bowl. I hope you enjoy your next visit. www.melodyjacob.com
