The SWB Bistro (A southwest bistro) is located in Hyatt Regency in Scottsdale Arizona. It’s kind of a blend of fine dining in a casual resort atmosphere. It looks like this when you enter.

It’s just a few steps down or you can use an elevator.

Here is the other end of the restaurant.

Tonight it was around 100 degrees F but the outside was nice cool and refreshing with the misters so we sat outside tonight and saw a friendly duck or two splashing around in a water feature.

It was restaurant week so not all but most of the goodies aren’t normally on the menu like the nicely detailed Dungeness crab and octopus with piquillo cream, red onion, huitlacoche and preserved lemon.

Everything was tender moist and delicious.

We both thought the cream of corn and poblano soup was amazing. My husband gave me the most wonderful compliment and said, This taste like something you would make.”

The flavors were amazing…..You do taste the poblano and it finishes with sweet creamy corn. The soup is rich and has delicious accents of queso fresco…pops of medium spicy chile de arbol and cilantro…Just amazing! This soup is on the lunch and dinner menu so you can enjoy it just as we did.

It was hard to decide on what dinner to pick but I went with the free range stuffed chicken.

It was the moistest, most tender, most flavorful, chicken that you can ever hope for. It seemed like it was in a marinade that broke it down and then was sous vide and finished somehow to crisp the skin up….The chicken was truly astounding and was placed in this marvelously great green mole sauce sauce accented with crispy cancha corn. On top of that a mound of ricotta, a crisp squash blossom and some micro greens adorned the plate.

The sous vide venison was just as incredible.

This came with yuca, English peas, pistachio and chimichurri rojo.

TWO desserts (and two glasses of wine) were included with restaurant week. Both of the desserts were WORTH EVERY CALORIE!

Cherry cheesecake empanadas with the most delicious chocolate sauce ever.

Tres leches cake with caramel croquant, strawberry and Chantilly cream.

It was a FANTABULOUS dinner!

Parking does cost here. Tonight it ran $8. an hour for self park and the valet cost $10. plus tip.

Worth a Fork!
