Arcadia Farms is a misnomer since it's technically in Scottsdale, not Arcadia but let's not split "tea sandwiches" over location. Look, I want a burger or some tacos most everyday, most every meal but sometimes I gotta pull it back or I'd be 600 pounds! This said, AF is a great mid day choice year round. It's a little less "ladies" lunch since they removed the gingham couches (I miss them so...sigh). There was one other "man" party of two there today other than Steve and I but, anytime two men...of a certain age...drive up to an ultra feminine lunch spot...in their fancy red sports cars aspersions WILL be cast...se la vie.
***pro tip. Guys, if you're in a place where everyone is eating salads, YOU will likely crave salad too! Also, I love a good IPA but a crisp glass of Chardonay has about HALF the calories (so you can drink twice as much...you're welcome)!
Lunch today was a shared Crab & Avocado Tower to start (two forks...don't be creepy). Steve went with Salmon Salad and I went with a Strawberry Chicken Salad (I can hear you snickering). We washed it all down with an elegant White Burg. Sandwiches here are pretty good too.
The food is not earth shatteringly good but it's good and the setting is truly unique for the valley. Definitely worth a visit if you have not been.
***pro tip: make a reservation! this place can be PACKED at lunch mid week. if you don't mind heat you can almost always get a table on the back patio (covered entirely with umbrellas).
***pro tip 2: great for bridal showers, and birthday lunches and name days (pictured below from last year...it's a Bulgarian thang...you wouldn't understand!!)
Thanks for reading!
