great tastes Carefree Station globally inspired cuisine in a carefree setting By martha-Page althaus ★ carefree Station 7212 East ho hum road carefree, aZ 480.488.8182 carefree station.com It feels worlds away, but the town of Carefree is just a short drive northeast of Phoenix. It’s a small town, where everyone seems to know your name. In the Spanish Village, Carefree Station reflects this friendly, laid-back vibe. This family-owned and operated restaurant has a diverse, international menu. Appetizers range from Voodoo Shrimp and Cowboy Sushi to Crab Bread Pudding. And dishes feature the highest quality ingredients such as all-natural prime beef, Berkshire Sea bass and (left) chai Tea Tiramisu 72 march 2013 usairwaysmag.com pork, and the freshest seafood, found in dishes like southern jambalaya and Jamaican paella. But this is Arizona, so you’ll also find entrees that emphasize bold Southwestern flavors, with a twist. Tender elk steak is marinated in Sonoran spices and served as sizzling fajitas; jumbo shrimp are sautéed in a habanero sauce and paired with chorizo grits. The food speaks for itself, and so does the setting — choosing a seat is as difficult as what to order. There’s the dining room with three fireplaces, the plant-filled atrium, and the lush garden courtyard that twinkles with lights. But the topper (literally!) is the roof deck with desert and mountain views. It’s the perfect place for a cocktail and sunset dinner. Speaking of cocktails, Carefree Station is renowned for its drinks menu. The beer list offers nearly 100 craft brews, and there are more than 300 wine choices including small-production and hard-to-find labels. Spirits aficionados can choose from more than 200 top-rated tequilas, scotches, gins, and other premium liquors. And if you’re too stuffed to think about dessert, think again. Treats like 24kt. Cheesecake and chili-flavored brownies are available as bite-size portions, so you can end the meal on a sweet note. http://www.carefreestation.com http://www.usairwaysmag.com
