Estate House Restaurant Scottsdale –  The second stop on our seven night tour of Arizona Restaurant Week 2010 was the Estate House to savor the cuisine of Executive Chef Gio Osso.

Chef Gio Osso brings new American cuisine to the Valley with unique mixtures of sophisticated flavors and modern style.

The restaurant features a warm decor and sits right in the bustling heart of downtown Scottsdale where you are certain to find wonderful adventures after dinner.

Our friend Victoria (pictured above) was sitting home alone, as her husband was out of town, so we figured she should come join in on our gastronomical adventure.

Tonight’s $29 Arizona Restaurant Week 2010 menu began with Rock Shrimp Ceviche (Avocado and Grilled Lime).  The Roaming Boomers LOVE ceviche!

The second of our three courses brought Grilled Swordfish (Lemon Fingerlings, Roasted Campari Tomatoes). Nice!  Very Nice!

And then, for the sweet tooth that Mr. Roaming Boomer possesses, we greatly enjoyed Poached Pear Napoleon (Cinnamon Créme Fraiche).  YUM!  Look at that!

Arizona Restaurant Week 2010 was responsible for introducing us to Estate House and what a wonderful find it was.

General Manager Zoran Klisara was graciously attentive to assure a wonderful experience and the staff couldn’t have possibly been more friendly.  In fact, we must have appeared as though we required additional nourishment as they brought us two more wonderful desserts to sample.

Oh!  I was in dessert euphoria.

We look forward to a return visit to Estate House in the near future.

Disclosure:  this wonderful dining experience was provided by the fine folks at Estate House.  Thanks!
