Palo Verde offers a delightful breakfast experience with excellent eggs Benedict on gluten-free bread and tasty French toast. The fruit options are fresh, especially the pineapple. Friendly staff and a cozy ambiance make for a pleasant visit. The restaurant is situated on the South golf course at the Boulders Resort in Carefree, serving Southwestern inspired dishes for breakfast and dinner. Guests can sit inside in a rotunda-style main room or enjoy the patio overlooking the course and pond. The setting provides a nice family atmosphere, perfect for a desert morning, followed by a visit to the pond where children can watch turtles and koi inch closer. The food is consistently excellent, with favorites like biscuits and gravy topped with chorizo gravy, cheddar jalapeno biscuits, and a spicy Bloody Mary or bourbon and peach schnapps iced tea. Among the standout dishes, the sea bass is regarded as the best ever, and the vegetarian options are flavorful and well-textured. Although the Easter Brunch in a ballroom was disappointing with small portions and no carving stations, the overall experience at Palo Verde remains highly positive. Friendly service and a nice wine selection complement the quality food, making it a place to look forward to visiting again. However, the setting can be less ideal on rainy days, with wet stone steps to navigate.
