Deseo - meaning desire in Spanish - offers a passionate and lively dining experience like no other in Arizona. Showcasing imaginative Latin-influenced cuisine, deseo’s menu features a distinctive and skillfully blended combination of flavors to create dishes that are bold and intriguing. While floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning views of the golf course and neighboring mountains, the best seat in the house is at The Rail – the counter surrounding the exhibition kitchen - where diners can watch chefs expertly prepare Ceviches. This communal approach to dining also enables guests to interact with the chefs and discuss the colorful items that are being prepared in front of them. The innovation continues at the Muddle Bar where exotic cocktails are created by smashing together the freshest of fruits and herbs by using a wooden mallet called a ‘muddle’ to release their intense flavors. Gracing the walls of deseo is bold and colorful artwork by world renowned Cuban artist and Westin Kierland Resort & Spa associate, Nelson Garcia-Miranda. Meet the artist in person in the lounge area where he creates art Wednesday through Sunday starting at 6 pm. Behind deseo’s inventive concept and menu development is James Beard Award-winning Chef Douglas Rodriguez, widely regarded as the inventor of Nuevo Latino Cuisine.
