The Asylum

Pros: Excellent food, superior wine list, funky decor, historic location, haunted building
Cons: Windows are too small to fully appreciate the view, but some outdoor dining is available

As our progress around Arizona drew to a close, my boyfriend, Russell, and I chose to have the last evening meal of our trip at the Asylum, located inside the J erome Grand Hotel. My goal for the evening was to have a ...

Pros: Elegant, quirky, friendly waitstaff & fast service... great wine
Cons: Parking can get congested-go early to beat the rush!

The Asylum is fabulous! Right when you walk in you get an elegant feel with quirky "insane house" knick-knacks to catch your eye. I was part of a large party with plenty of kids and the waitstaff was wonderfully accommodating and patient. The food was excellent... their menu has something for everyone, even little old vegan me! You will be blown away by their wine list. They have hundreds of wine choices and some excellent cocktails as well. I have nothing negative to say about The Asylum... try it out, you won't be sorry!

Pros: good food, reasonable prices, veggie friendly, quirky atmosphere
Cons: a little too dungeon-like for kids, some seedy clientele

i love the Asylum because it has great character and awesome food.
the basement floor is a dingy biker bar with a harley davidson pinball machine. they offer cheap happy hour beer and tacos. the clientele is diverse.
The upper floor is the restaurant; they serve brunch on the weekends. i have never had a bad meal there.
the best thing about the Asylum is the vegetarian chili. every time i visit, i get a container to go.
they offer a variety of vegetarian options. prices are reasonable. service is average.
