New American Restaurants in Scottsdale, AZ

“A beautiful property with majestic views.“

“We always love meeting our friends and taking our guests here. I always get the pork belly and grits because I just don't find that everywhere. We had a relative with lots of food restrictions this time and they accommodated every need and she was very happy with her meal. The waitstaff is always top notch!“

“We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at the chef’s tasting table. Each course was amazing, service was exceptional and the overall experience was A+. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something a little different in a beautiful setting.“

“We hosted a fabulous 30 person birthday dinner at the Oliver and everything about the evening was perfect! First and most importantly, everyone’s food was delicious and our guests couldn’t stop talking about the evening…how wonderful the service was, the great vibe and the fabulous food. I cannot recommend the Oliver enough for a night out and/or a private event. We’ve done both now and each visit has been over the top great. Highly recommend!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We recently had the pleasure of dining at The Ends and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Here are some highlights of my visit: Ambiance: The restaurant boasts a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly balances elegance and comfort. The tasteful décor, soft lighting, and pleasant background music created an environment that was both relaxing and sophisticated. Service: The service was impeccable. From the moment we walked in, the staff was attentive, friendly, and professional. We were seating at the bar and our bartender was knowledgeable about the menu, provided excellent recommendations, and ensured that our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. The timing of each course was perfect, and we never felt rushed Food: The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the food. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We started with a few appetizers which was a delightful blend of fresh ingredients. Overall Experience: The Ends exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of excellent food, outstanding service, and a delightful ambiance made for a memorable dining experience. Thank you and we can’t wait for our next visit“

“Phenomenal experience. Location, ambiance, food and service were nothing less than spectacular. Everything was outstanding. The food was exquisite and the service was incredible. The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely and would make anyone’s dining experience even more enjoyable. This is by far one of the best dining experiences we have ever had.“

“This place is amazing!! Richie is hands down the best bartender. The food is insane. The cocktails are out of this world. Not only are they good but it’s so cool to see people who are so passionate about making cocktails! This will 100% be my spot. They’ve made a regular out of me.“

“Great scenery and 29° Beer on tap“

“Exceptional food, unforgettable service

I had the chicken Caesar wrap, and I honestly can’t stop thinking about it. The wrap was absolutely showered in Parmesan cheese, not skimpy, not subtle, but perfectly indulgent in the most delicious way. The grilled chicken was charred to perfection, juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite was better than the last.

The wrap came with a side of Italian pasta, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch. It complemented the meal beautifully and elevated the entire experience, it wasn’t just a side, it felt intentional and comforting.

But what truly made this visit stand out was Gigi, who I believe is the restaurant manager. She was absolutely amazing kind, attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. Her presence alone elevated the entire experience. You can tell she truly cares about the guests and the team, and she represents Born & Bred exceptionally well. She is an incredible hire and a true asset to the restaurant.

Great food brings people in, but great people make them come back and Gigi is exactly that. Born & Bred has something special here, and I’ll definitely be returning.

Highly recommend.“

“Jeff immediately welcomed us with a smile and warm reception then provided amazing service and wine recommendations. He served us a Pinot noir that was super deep and bold, and I honestly thought he poured the wrong varietal. He was so gracious and brought out the bottle (for our examination ) and poured a small sample next to our glass of wine to compare. Indeed it was a big bold Pinot noir by Meiomi Vineyards. The salmon BLT was big enough to split between my wife and I and was absolutely delicious and grilled to perfection. What a surprising dinner venue and great service provided by Jeff. Highly recommend.“

“we came down to the dirt expo and ended up in downtown Scottsdale. This place is an absolute must stop. Staff is awesome. Hands-down one of the best burgers I've ever eaten and their mango margarita was top notch.“

“Shelby and Nate were our servers and they did an excellent job. They were friendly, professional and knew the menu extremely well and they made great suggestions. Quality of food and presentation were outstanding and I will definitely visit this neighborhood gem again!“

“My family and I have been going to Randy’s for over 20 years. It was one of our favorites from our first visit, but the new owners have made it even better! We live out of state now, but Randy’s is still a must any time we’re in Scottsdale.“

“The service was great even when it was busy . The food was okay, we had the Cajun shrimp and it was a bit watery/soupy and spicy with a lack of flavor. The shots were a bit over priced. It was still a fun place and the patio looked like a nice spot to enjoy.“

“Food is always excellent and new items arrive throughout the year. It’s my ‘go to comfort food’!“

“I would recommend everything about this restaurant. Your experience starts with the staff at the front, everyone is on point and attentive. I didn’t see a single time that the wait and floor staff left the area without seeking eye contact from other diners. Then ….. the kitchen. Watching during a mid-service rush, you will see the calm energy that only comes from a great team culture. Everyone focused on each and every detail. Nothing goes out that doesn’t meet the team’s high standards. This kind of brigade can only come from one thing. The Chef….. Cory Oppold has always led by example. He showed everyone how deep his character was during the “Sack Lunch” and In-Home dining year. I don’t think there is anyone I would rather work beside in a kitchen than Chef Cory. The Food…… Every component adding to the story… some whispers, some screams…… taunting, flirting, enticing the culinary listener to turn the page in anticipation. Beautiful food that is as exciting to taste as it is to look at…… winner winner Squab, John Dory, and Steak dinner!! You owe it to yourself to go experience Team Oppold in action, you will never be the same again“

“Phenomenal food, service and atmosphere“

“I had the steak tenderloin and my husband had the salmon. Everything was delicious and served by a friendly waitress. The restaurant was nicely decorated for Valentine's Day and we enjoyed the Photo Booth. We had a lovely evening out and will return.“

“Even without sampling the food on this latest visit, it’s clear why this place remains one of the area’s most consistently buzzing destinations. The energy alone tells the story—tables filled, glasses clinking, and a steady rhythm of conversation that signals a spot beloved by locals and visitors alike. The drinks program continues to impress. Wines are well-selected, offering both dependable varietals and intriguing pours for those who enjoy exploring beyond the usual. Cocktails are balanced and thoughtfully executed—nothing overwrought, just smartly made and enjoyable. Service matches the standard: efficient, friendly, and tuned in without hovering. The only recurring frustration lies in the seating—finding a comfortable spot, especially with a party larger than two, can feel like winning a small lottery. Still, once seated, it’s easy to see why so many linger well into the evening. Bottom Line: A go-to destination for happy hour and casual wine gatherings. Excellent drinks, a convivial crowd, and lively ambiance—just be prepared to wait a bit for that perfect table. Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) – Exceptional drinks and atmosphere; minor seating woes keep it from perfection.“

“Outstanding burger, sweet potato fries, and blackened mahi-mahi tacos. Great beer election too.“

“Indulge in one of their amazing cocktails, choose the octopus for the first course, and enter dreamland from there. Last night was the latest A++ dinner where everything was done perfectly, and danced on our tastebuds like magic. A very special place, and there’s a reason why people are inspired to exclaim ‘best meal ever’. Life is short, go this week, Highly recommended.“

“Friendly staff, love the patio area. Salad was fresh and delicious. Some of the best lemonade that I have tasted. Will definitely return.“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year.

“Alec was an outstanding server great food Thankyou and a birthday card class act“

“We did the 7 course chef’s tasting menu and it was amazing. Robby took care of us that night and he was great! He was very knowledgeable, professional and took our preferences into account. It’s a small intimate setting, with a few indoor tables and outdoor tables. Overall, great service and multi course fine dining experience.“

“The atmosphere is great. They got a great staff, the food oh my God is so delicious I highly recommend this restaurant if you are traveling from Texas to Arizona. You need to stop here I highly recommend it. I give it 5 star.“

“Lunch at Beginner’s Luck in Old Town Scottsdale was amazing. The vibe is fun and laid back, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a midday meal while exploring the area.

The food was outstanding and was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Everything we tried was delicious and well portioned, and it easily stands out from typical lunch spots in the area.

If you’re in Old Town Scottsdale and looking for a great lunch, Beginner’s Luck is a must stop. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“Friendly staff, love the patio area. Salad was fresh and delicious. Some of the best lemonade that I have tasted. Will definitely return.“

“Great/innovative food, nice service, too bad expresso is un-drinkable.“

“Service was outstanding considering a Friday nite and fully packed restaurant ! Quick and efficient service. Ribeye and fries fantastic. Ribs a bit undercooked but with sauce, it was nice. Hoping to have a glass of frangelica liqueur but not available. Shall return soon.“

“This is the best restaurant I’ve ever been to ! Trish treated us like family and was very accommodating!! The food and drinks were delicious!! Please come to Peoria ! We need you closer to Deedra and I ! Sunday was a great day ! I’m so happy Deedra brought be to experience your hospitality and your food !! Thank you for being Amazing!! ❤️“

“The cuisine and craft cocktails. Excellent service too.“

“My husband and I visited twice. Both nights we had a lovely server named Emilee. She made very good suggestions for us. Our first night we had Key lime pie which was awesome! And on our second night she suggested the Tacos that were also amazing! It’s always good to have a cheerful engaging server who adds to out of the area visitors. We were visiting for 3 days from NJ and spent 2 nights dining at Fate Brewery.“

“First time in. WOW! It was amazing. Beautiful spot with a great patio. Had Scallop Crudo, Foie Gras, Octopus and Strawberry-Marzipan Shortbread. All beautifully plated and delicious! Nice bar and excellent wine program; I had an excellent glass of Grand Cru Riesling from Alsace France. Service was excellent; professional and friendly. Owner May even stopped by. Impressive! Can't wait to visit next time in AZ!“

“great food. will be back soon“

“Great breakfasts although most servers don’t tell you that 1/2 orders are available on some items! I have been a frequent guest over the past 6 years but can no longer go on weekends as for some god awful reason they have decided to have DJ’s. The music is incredibly loud and you can carry on a conversation!“

“The restaurant's name perfectly describes the vibe. Laid back casual, with class. Outdoor sofas, all seating in fact, are so darn comfy, I never wanted to leave. Food is good, service is excellent--- fast, friendly & helpful. No pretentious attitudes here. Best of all, dogs are welcome in the huge outdoor patio area.“

“Tried the new dish, Butternut Squash Lasagna - Delicious.“

“The best dining experience I’ve began a year with. The food is high quality and I will be returning soon for more cauliflower“

“Always an amazing experience! I recently retired and hosted a lunch for my family and closest friends at Cooper's Hawk. The menus were titled with my name. My server was beyond the epitome of excellence. (Cherise?) I was able to use my wine club bottles for my guests. The food as always was delectable, cooked to perfection and presented picture perfect. Later, I was made aware Chef Will at the Scottsdale location ensured our experience was impeccable.
On another occasion Chef Will ensured my red snapper was presented with the fish being moist, flavorful and in line with my expectations. Chef Will is the reason I elected to have my retirement lunch at Cooper's Hawk. The consistency in receiving phenomenal food that is memorable in flavor was the determining factor of having my event.
Thank you Scottsdale Cooper's Hawk.“

“first class wine pairing dinner. Gordon Ramsey would have been proud!“

“I am blown away by the welcoming atmosphere I was invited in with tonight! I am in the area for business and popped in at total random by myself, and was so genuinely focused on and taken care of my entire time there. I shared great laughs and kindness from the host, waitress and, what I assume was, also the shift manager! Drinks recommended for me to try were amazing and my food was drool worthy! Thank you so much for the pleasant experience and I will totally be back next business trip out here!! Much love.“

“Yes!! Awesome Happy Hour food and drinks!! Staff is great 👍“

“Very delicious! I ordered delivery and everything was packaged so well. I got the Korean taco and two shrimp tacos. I only have 1 “critique” and it’s not even their fault- the option to add a boozy libation to the taco combo is not working on their website, caviar or DoorDash. But that’s a tech issue and not at all reflective of them because even when I called, I think his name was Justin- he tried so hard to help me. But it’s okay cause I will be dining in person to get my drink in the future 😊 Great food and customer service, you can tell they really care about the people!“

“Had an amazing time at Dodo Bird! The service was top-notch, the food was delicious, and the games made it so much fun—we didn’t want to leave! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Great food, service and a fun place.“

“Did a distillery tour a couple of weeks ago with Mark. He is so passionate and knowledgeable about their products and distilling. And all the spirits we tried during the tour were delicious! Stayed for dinner and drinks which were really good. Also took a couple of bottles home.“

“First time -,great food and service. Had the shrimp cocktail and the St.Louis ribs. Shrimp large and perfectly cold and flavorful . Ribs fall off the bone. Also Cobb salad perfect. First time having an 9 minute egg in my salad .“

“Brittlenush has the best view in Scottsdale, we went for a late lunch and sat on the patio overlooking the golf course. Kim was our server and she gave us great service and was pleasant, glad to see her again. The pesto chicken was very good I would order it again. My husband had the pastrami on rye and agreed it was also a good choice. We always stop in when we are in the area. They are able to accommodate GF needs for me too.“

“Houston’s has been one of our favorite restaurants for nearly 40 years! We’ve been to the restaurants in different cities and have never been disappointed until now. While the service was good, the pork chop I ordered was so bland! It was not seasoned at all! Such a disappointment! My husband ordered the chicken which used to be called Apricot chicken, but now they have removed the fruit from the menu so we inquired and were told it was the same. It was not the same! The apricot flavored sauce served separately, was watery and barely tasted of apricot. The chicken was so bland and unseasoned that it was just meat! The vegetables served with both meals were good, as always. We ordered a diet coke for the beverage and received an 8 oz bottle of Diet Coke for $3.00 with no refills! My goodness! The only dessert on the menu was Key Lime Pie. We inquired and were informed that there were more desserts that were not on the menu. Well, why not put them on the menu? My favorite apple walnut with ice cream has been served at Houston’s since forever! Why not put it on the menu?
Mostly we were very disappointed with the 2 entrees (the meats) and will not be inclined to return to this location again.
We actually left most of it on the plates, and took none with us.“
