Best Romantic Restaurants in Cave Creek

Talavera is a special place for special occasions ! We were celebrating a first wedding anniversary and were seated overlooking the wonderful view of the setting sun. The menu was an interesting mix of Spanish and steakhouse and we chose two appetizers to share -steak tartare and pan con tomate. While we waited with our drinks we were brought an amazing amuse bouche and without requesting a lactose free one for me- such a thoughtful gesture. The amuse bouche and the appetizers all were mouthwatering and prepared us for the high level of cuisine to come. Afterwards three of us chose the paella and one the trout. The individual pan paellas came chock full of seafood with the requisite crispy rice at the bottom of the pan! The saffron broth over the trout was so flavorful and the fish well prepared , as were the innovative sides of grilled asparagus and patatas bravas. We felt like honored guests, as the service was attentive and respectful. As we were deciding whether to go on with dessert, they brought a charming special dessert treat of chocolate and cherry filled hearts for the happy couple. What a wonderful end to our special celebration. The gorgeous Spanish guitar music only added to the romance of the evening. We will be back for our next special occasion.

The grill dining room is always top notch from service (Erikka), food, atmosphere! Thank you all.

Wonderfully delicious. Our local gem a must go to
