Confluence is a small but upscale high quality restaurant located in Carefree Arizona that is just above North Scottsdale. This restaurant is usually only a husband and wife team. That MEANS one of the most talented Top Chefs of Metro Phoenix is actually doing the masterful cooking for you…..(that seldom happens anywhere).
They offer changing seasonal menus of hot and cold appetizers, fresh fish dishes, meat dishes, desserts or cheese. You can order your meal a la carte or you can take advantage of a tasting option.
Tonight we took advantage of the tasting menu and went for the four courses for $75. (subject to change)
Whatever you order they usually start you off with bread and oil embellished with white balsamic.
Next we got two rounds of appetizers.
Soft scrambled goose egg – mascarpone, kennebec potato, cocks comb, shishito pepper, iitoi onion
Mixed greens salad – beets, radish, mozzarella, brioche croutons, red onion, herbs, oil & balsamic
Guinea hen ragout – braised leg, polenta, turnip
White mushroom soup – oyster mushroom, celery, cauliflower, hazelnuts
Entrees were-
Venison loin – red wine risotto, cauliflower, broccolini, pine nuts, parmesan
Halibut – great northern beans, spinach, sweet pepper, olive, Calabrian chili
Possibly the most complex Desserts in the valley.
Aged gouda and caramelized onion tart – Iberico Chorizo, horseradish, sunflower seeds, arugula, pomegranate molasses, freeze dried honey
Smoked Butterscotch tapioca pudding – blueberry, pepitas, candied butternut squash, smoked vanila creme fraiche
When the weather is nice patio seating is available with partial mountain views.
Confluence is Worth a Fork! and the $75. 4-Course tasting is a Screaming Hot Deal! (subject to change)

Some Images are showing as question marks. Like the name confluence. Reminds me of rivers In GCSE geography
Thank You for taking the time to let me know. It’s a server issue I was told. Some people get the photos and others don’t. One person told me if they type in my web address and go in that way then they get the pictures. The Jetpack people told me that with just “basic” this is what I get and I need to upgrade past “basic” for $240 a year more and then my “like” button will work too…..decisions decisions …????
Exactly. Thanks for coming back to me and glad you are aware of it. I am on premium if that helps and an apple device
Thanks for letting me know. I’m on Apple too! I had no idea that this wouldn’t work on other Apple devices. I should look into premium.
Definitely 🙂
