A regal Spanish beauty, T. Cook's is frequently described as one of the Valley's best and most romantic restaurants, even as one of the top tables in the U.S. Architecturally, it's bold and beautiful. A high ceiling overlooks 40-foot draperies and suspends huge wrought-iron chandeliers over massive wooden tables. The dining room, with natural stone floors, overlooks colorful gardens and fountains in the lovingly restored Royal Palms Resort. Like the decor, the food has a Mediterranean flair. The signature mussels in a creamy, rich Chardonnay thyme broth is a signature appetizer, large enough for two or three people. Duck breast foie gras and apricot glaze is a popular main dish, as is the chef's Mediterranean paella, a traditional seafood stew. Cook's is widely known for serving fresh, organic vegetables, whenever possible from local farmers. Though they're not always on the menu, vegetarian dishes are a highlight. The menu changes with the seasons, and they'll create special selections for you. Sundays are reserved for the famous brunch. The prix fixe menu features a la carte Mediterranean-inspired classics, served tableside. There's also a cold buffet of fresh seafood, smoked salmon, gourmet salads, fruits, cheeses, breads, pastries and more. You can also substitute from T. Cook's regular breakfast and lunch menu.
