This is a contemporary restaurant that serves an ever changing innovated menu of vegetable and farm focused globally inspired foods.

FnB also offers a well thought out wine list that happens to showcase many of Arizona’s Finest Wines. For the last several years the Chef has been nominated for the James Beard Award of South West Best Chef so let me tell you the food is so let me tell you that the food is really Forking Special Here!
FnB offers formal but casual indoor seating and a small but cozy patio.
They start us off with Locally Made Good quality bread and Olive Oil.
It’s always difficult to decide on what to order because they offer SO MANY small plates that all sound Amazing! Our host the Co-owner is always remembers us and is very welcoming and helpful. He explains the more unusual menu selections.
We decide to start with the Langos (Hungarian fried bread made with potatoes)
Oh My! This is the Most Elevated Potato Chip Sandwich I could have ever dreamed of. The bread is tasty, crisp and seems light as a feather. It’s topped with a garlic-ee aioli. On top of that is shaved fennel, fresh made potato chips, heirloom radishes and grated cured egg. Wow…it’s really great!
We also try the Butterkin Squash Plate.
The Butterkin (a Butternut crossed with Pumpkin Squash) taste amazing with pippin rojo, (a sort of Dried Chili, sesame and pumpkin seed mole) A little quinoa and pepitas garnish the plate.
The dinners are usually very large in portion size. Usually I get my own and bring half home. This time we split the Pink Grouper for dinner.
Grouper is a harder unforgiving fish to prepare and this one here is perfect. The wood grill adds a wonderful flavor to the moist fish. Bok Choy, Chanterrelles and very sweet firm corn go together like magic in a onion(i’itoi) ginger sauce.
I’m really full and need to stop eating but we go for dessert because it’s always great here.
Got the Apple Sharlotka.
It’s basically like an apple cake.That is suppose to be made with tart apples and sugar, flour and eggs. It’s a cake that lacks milk and butter. It’s very natural tasting and almost taste sugar free. The apples are sort of tart but the powdered sugar add just enough sweetness.
FnB is Worth a Fork!
