    The room is beautifully rustic. Looking forward to dining some winter night when the fireplace is roaring!! However, although the food was very good, enough to bring us back, the menu was perplexing. Organizationally, it was not set up as would be expected as a dinner menu: no appetizers, no soup, only 3 dinner entres, otherwise sandwiches, tacos. for appetizers, we chose from their bar tapas, The old menu (which was delicious) was much more suited for the environment of fine dining. How they consider going back to the old menu

    Overall the food was very tasty but below a high end menu due to the construction of the bar next door. Hopefully next time a different menu will be offered. We were celebrating an anniversary and nothing was even mentioned.

    Great evening. We were excited about our dinner reservation and AZ Inn did not disappoint. What a lovely property! Service and food were splendid. But the ambience and the history are 10/10.
