Tanzy Brings the Tantalizing Taste of Modern Mediterranean to Scottsdale Quarter
New restaurant is an extraordinary culinary experience with a view
PHOENIX, Jan. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Phoenix residents can now enjoy the refined yet laid-back bar and dining experience from Tanzy, a full-service restaurant conveniently located next to iPic Theaters upstairs in the Scottsdale Quarter. Tanzy, featuring a unique menu of modern Mediterranean signature dishes, lies within visually-appealing features and beautiful scenic views of Scottsdale's skyline that will captivate the senses.
The 8,000 square foot restaurant surrounds guests with exquisite architecture and design, featuring dramatic copper ceilings of silky wave formations, grand window walls and organic materials which capture the very nature of Arizona's essence. Rich textured woods, wrought iron metal details, fire pits and naturally-weathered stone are all carefully composed to stimulate the senses and create a warm yet surreal environment.
"Tanzy delivers the ultimate dining experience where guests will enjoy the bold flavors of our new age-approach, signature dishes within a stylish and serene ambiance," said Tony Brunetti, General Manager, Tanzy. "Tanzy is a very chef-driven, flavor-infused experience with a menu full of fresh, seasonal daily choices fit for any palate, and every dish and sauce is made from scratch, using locally grown produce, greens and dairy."
Tanzy's array of menu items encompass the cuisine of countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea with a modern twist using fresh, natural products. With more than six years of culinary experience opening and overseeing daily operations at local restaurants, Phoenix-based Executive Chef Geoffrey Baumberger creates a gastronomic experience where the outdoors and indoors merge together as one.
"The kitchen takes great pride in the preparation and special dishes offered to our diners," said Chef Baumberger. "Tanzy is a refreshing dining experience -- nothing is pre-made; we do it all by hand, made to order. Tanzy is a fresh concept for Scottsdale, from the food that we serve to the way the drinks are made at the bar, with fresh produce and many flavor infusions."
Unique touches such as the house made mozzarella separate Tanzy from other dining options in the area. The mozzarella is made by hand when it is ordered, from softening and pulling the curd and serving it warm on a plate with crostinis, house made pesto and brick oven roasted tomatoes. Other menu highlights from Chef Baumberger include Mediterranean Baby Octopus Salad, cedar plank king salmon, 10 oz. filet of beef and vegetarian and gluten-free dishes to provide options for every taste. Desserts include house made tiramisu and orange creamsicle brulee.
Tanzy's fully-stocked bar features market fresh cocktails with homemade Maraschino cherries, hand-squeezed citrus and just-picked herbs, with hand-selected boutique wines. Drinks are sweetened with natural pure cane fruit purees, house made infusions and from-scratch syrups – meaning no corn syrup-packed, uninspired cocktails here. Choices range from passion fruit-pomegranate-blood orange margaritas, mango-ginger-habanero daiquiris and five-citrus cazuelas.
