Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Carefree

Elements is and has always been one of our favorite restaurants for a special dinner out, always for our anniversary and for dinner with special friends. Also for lunch with girlfriends or a happy hour in the bar. Our meal last night was wonderful as always. Two of us had the salmon, grilled to perfection with squash puree and Brussels sprouts and bacon. The guys had the ribeye, perfect as ordered. We also enjoyed jumbo shrimp cocktail and burrata appetizer and a couple of decadent desserts. However, the pork chop, which was fabulous, is greatly missed on the menu, the favorite for someone who doesn't want the limited steak options. Also the missing mac and cheese that was a favorite. The menu is now quite pared down from previous. That being said, it is still a great restaurant. Bring back some of the best selling favorites please.

Ted was our server and gave us a fine dining experience! He was attentive to us, personable and made sure we were happy with everything. We’d love to see more servers like him!

The entire experience so completely captured Bourdain’s spirit. His chaos and his genius along with his passion for exceptional flavors. What an incredible testament to the life of an amazing chef. Definitely will be back.

Less is more. I was nervous about ordering the salmon due to the mixed reviews so I opted for something familiar and simple - a burger. And I’m so glad that I did. The patty itself wasn’t as tender as I would’ve liked but the combination of flavors with the bacon, cheese and arugula was amazing. I also opted for the truffle fries which came with a spicy mayo that was really good as well. Less is more. When in doubt, get the burger!

Another excellent dinner at The Genuine! We enjoyed outstanding cocktails crafted by Andrew-a Martini for me and the Blood Orange Paper Plane for my wife. We split the calamari, a delicious cheeseburger and a pizza with a couple of slices to go. The servers were lovely and attentive and made us feel very welcome. Jessica, the GM, spent some time chatting with us and she is an absolute pleasure to engage with. Whether you sit at the bar, or at a table, you will have an outstanding time. We’re going back for brunch next weekend. Go!
