Feast Finds INTERNATIONAL Feast is not only a casual sit-down restaurant, but
also a gourmet to-go place, which makes it the perfect spot to pick up food for a sunset
picnic dinner at Sabino Canyon Recreation Area or Saguaro National Park. The menu
changes regularly, but you may find a seared salmon sandwich made with kalamata olive
tapenade; saddle of rabbit stuffed with chicken livers, pancetta, artichoke hearts, and leeks;
or pork tenderloin served with a warm salad of sunchokes, pancetta, and Brussels sprouts.
4122 E. Speedway Blvd. & 520/326-9363 or 520/326-6500. www.eatatfeast.com. Reservations not
accepted. Main courses $8.50-$22. AE, DC, DISC, MC, V. Tues-Sun 11am-9pm.
Little Anthony's Diner Kids AMERICAN This place is primarily for kids, although
lots of big kids enjoy the 1950s music and decor. The menu includes such offerings as a
Jailhouse Rock burger and Chubby Checker triple-decker club sandwich. Daily specials
and bottomless soft drinks make feeding the family fairly inexpensive, and a video-game
room will keep your kids entertained while you finish your milkshake. If you want to
make a night of it (and you make a reservation far enough in advance), you can take in
an old-fashioned melodrama next door at the Gaslight Theatre. Together, these two
places make for a fun night out with the family.
7010 E. Broadway Blvd. (in back of the Gaslight Plaza). & 520/296-0456. www.littleanthonysdiner.com.

Anthony's in the Catalinas NEW AMERICAN/CONTINENTAL From
the moment you drive up and let the valet park your car, Anthony's, housed in a modern
Italianate building overlooking the city, exudes Southwestern elegance. The waiters are
smartly attired in tuxedos, and guests (the cigar-and-single-malt foothills set) are nearly
as well dressed. In such a rarefied atmosphere, you'd expect only the finest meal and
service, and that's exactly what you get. The house-smoked salmon and scallops Rocke-
feller are both fitting beginnings, followed by the likes of Chateaubriand with béarnaise
sauce. Wine is not just an accompaniment, but also a reason for dining out at Anthony's;
with more than 1,700 wines, the wine list may be the most extensive in the city.
6440 N. Campbell Ave. & 520/299-1771. www.anthonyscatalinas.com. Reservations highly recom-
mended. Main courses $30-$49. AE, DC, DISC, MC, V. Daily 5:30-10pm.

The Grill REGIONAL AMERICAN Great food, historical Southwest character,
views, live jazz—this place has it all. Located in a 1920s hacienda-style building at a
former foothills guest ranch, the Grill is one of Tucson's best restaurants, so don't leave
town without having at least one meal here. The menu changes regularly and always
manages to keep up with the latest culinary trends. For a starter, you might be able to
have some house-cured gravlax (salmon) or an artichoke-and truffle soup. Despite the
price, the dry-aged New York strip steak is deservedly the most popular entree on the
menu and is big enough for two people to share. Sunday brunch here is a real treat. The
main patio overlooks the Catalinas and the fairways of the Westin La Paloma's golf
course. Thursday through Sunday, the restaurant's Terraza del Sol bar has live music.
At the Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch Resort, 5601 N. Hacienda del Sol Rd. & 520/529-3500. www.
haciendadelsol.com. Reservations recommended. Main courses $16-$34; Sun brunch $32. AE, DC, DISC,
MC, V. Daily 5:30-10pm; Sun brunch 10am-1:30pm.
