Great atmosphere and views. Victoria was very attentive. I had the shrimp dish$31 Forgot that the ocean is far from here. I would definitely go back.

The duo (husband and wife I believe?) who run this eatery are rockstars. While it's on the expensive side, typical for the type of cuisine, it's always top notch and we love the seasonal menu changes. If you go expect to be there at least a few hours though if you opt for the multi courses! Also great wine and bourbon selection.

This place is amazing. Started off with an old fashioned and it was the best I have ever had. Perfect recommendation! 3 of us had the flirt and my wife had the Black Cod. The black Cod was perfectly cooked and the veggies were amazing. The salad we had was so fresh and tasty and were on par with veggies from any Napa Valley restaurant!! The steak was cooked PERFECTLY, med rare and so tender. Pricey.... Yes, but worth every Penny. Wine selection was superb. Not a bad one on the list. We had a Chardonnay and a Cabernet. Great atmosphere, quiet and perfect service. Chef was friendly and amazing. Server was his wife and made us feel at home. She also knows her bourbons. Her favorite is ours and not many people know this small distillery. All in all one of the best meals and service we have had in the whole country!!! We will be back. Lunch is supposed to be great too. I can't believe the negative review!! This place I wish was in Nashville, where we live.

First impressions: We almost did not dine here. We had a reservation for 7:00 pm and when we came to the restaurant... it was totally empty. Nonetheless, we drove 35 minutes for this place and decided to give it a shot. We tried the 5 course tasting menu on our trip to Confluence. Overall, the food was very good. A bit of variance with the cooked temperature of the meat within our party, but everything tasted how you would expect at a tasting restaurant. Lots of vibrant flavors and an interesting combination of dishes. I would say its a nice restaurant to try. Not the best tasting menu I've had (Michelin), but it puts up a fight. 4.5/5

Well, we made it back to try the five course dinner, and it did not disappoint. Victoria and Brandon, husband, and wife, and also the owners of this establishment. I have to admit I haven't seen a better oiled machine, than the two of them at this restaurant. Super clean organized unbelievable, the whit mushroom soup was delicious. We honestly cannot wait to go back and partake in the chef experience again. I WOULD RECOMMEND

Fantastic little spot serving what is probably the best food in the area. And just the friendliest neighborhood-spot kind of service. You can tell they put a lot of thought and work into all the dishes and really want everyone to leave happy. Even something simple like a roasted parsnip soup was super flavorful and creamy and filling. The wine options are also super cool and thoughtful: I've never even seen a sparkling Gruner Veltlinger for example, but I love the still versions, so was not disappointed! (And only $50 for the bottle too). Yes, the entrees may seem a little pricy -- but come on, it's a small little place using some really great local ingredients (the margins on that aren't great).

Confluence is a small, casual, but high quality restaurant and bar in Carefree that offers painstakingly made, seasonal, elevated modern masterfully prepared cuisine. Ala carte and tasting menus are offered. You can dine with mountain views at lunch or for dinner indoors or on the patio. Chef Brandon and his wife Victoria do most of the work in the restaurant themselves. They have many years of fine dining experience behind them (such as Binkley's for example) and it shows in what you receive. Confluence is also a great value for fine dining. Several other fine dining restaurants in the valley charge much more for similar quality food. You will pay far less here for the highest quality, detailed food that is complex and delicious with a multitude of flavors that can be paired with wine. Parking is also easy and close. Reservations are recommended . Your meal from Confluence will probably exceed your expectations!
