Old Town’s steakhouses compete on noise. Talavera, the Four Seasons Troon North’s signature room, competes with a dining room that faces Pinnacle Peak at sunset, which is an unfair fight. The menu is steakhouse classics nudged by Spanish and Southwestern flavors, and it has anchored fine dining in the far north since 2009.
Order a prime cut and a serious red, and time it so the saguaros go to silhouette somewhere around the first course.
When to go: dinner runs Wednesday through Sunday and the sunset tables go first, so book ahead. The weekend afternoon tea is the sleeper option.
