The Manzanita has been serving the Verde Valley since 1991.  Originally under the ownership of Swiss born, 5 Star Chef, Albert Kramer, who introduced the German Cuisine.  In 2006 Randy, whose dream was to own a restaurant and Susan, whose dream was to not own a restaurant made it possible for Albert to retire by purchasing The Manzanita.  The tradition of using only the finest meats, seafood, and produce and serving local and organic ingredients whenever possible has been maintained as well as preparing dishes and sauces from scratch.  Randy brings his creative touch to many new dishes including; Cherry Cabernet Chicken, Seafood Pasta Dishes, Salmon Crepes, Crab Cakes, and our popular Braised Pork Shank. He is however, best known for his flare with Wild Game and features items such as; Bison, Wild Boar, Antelope, Kangaroo, Python and much more.
