New American Restaurants in Scottsdale, AZ

“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.“

“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!“

“Great scenery and 29° Beer on tap“

“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!“

“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“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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“

“A few friends and myself came through for cocktails to check out the new concept. Cocktail menu was solid. Mariah did an excellent job of walking us through the menu and suggesting pairings with the food as well. The quality of product along with her expediency gives this place a lot of potential.
Can’t wait to come back.“

“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.“

“Very eclectic menu that blends Asian, Mexican, and American. Plenty of small plate options and good selection of mains. You can definitely find spice if you want but you will find options without. The cashew spicy chicken wings, pork belly pastrami and bacon fat popcorn on the bites and starters are favvorites. Guajillo Chicken and Fair Trade Short Ribs are a couple favorites from the mains.“

“Great sports bar with a good selection of food. There are tons of TVs, making it an excellent place to watch sports. Both the indoor and outdoor seating areas offer plenty of space, so it never feels too crowded. Overall, a fun spot to grab a meal, enjoy a drink, and catch the game.“

“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.“

“10/10 service and food. Born and bred hosted our large table and they created memories for us to last a lifetime. Food was incredible, the drinks were amazing; the table set up was perfect for our group. The service alone from the manager to the servers and bartenders. We had the salads, brussel sprouts, meatballs, Mac n cheese and shrimp. It was all delicious. For dinner I had the Caesar wrap which was so so so good it is well worth the hype. My kids had more salad and the buffalo wrap and my mom had the pizza. There was not a single item that was not delicious.“

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

“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.“

“My bride and I had a wonderful lunch at Moxies. The service was first class. I had the fried chicken sandwich. Delicious. My bride had the calamari and some of the delicious fries. This was our third visit, so that says a lot. A friend of ours came to town and wanted to eat at Moxies a few month ago. The restaurant is surrounded by some of the best shopping in the country, so bring some extra money.“

“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.“

“Phenomenal food, service and atmosphere“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“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.“

“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.“

“Mother’s Day brunch was a huge hit. Intimate cool restaurant. Our meals (chilaquiles, French toast and focaccia and banana bread) were absolutely delicious!!!! Fantastic cocktails too. Great location in old town if you want to shop around. We will 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.“

“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.“

“great food. will be back soon“

“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 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!“

“You gotta check this place out when you're in Scottsdale – the vibe, the food, the service, it's all great. If you're lucky, there'll even be a live band. Seriously, go for a drink or some food. Oh, and there's a secret speakeasy bar in the back! You really can't go wrong, we'll definitely be back.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“We love Coopers Hawk so much that we are apart of their wine club and have been for over a year. I love their spritzy sangrias (so yummy). Also any time I order the featured meal it is always so delicious. Oh and how can I forget the pretzel bread one of my favorite things!“

“Great visit at O.H.S.O.! Fries were hot and crispy, the seasonal salad was fresh, and the kids meal was a big hit. Trever was a good server and kept things running smoothly. Tried something new this visit: the grinder sandwich was OK - I’ve had better things on their menu.“

“Great food, service and a fun place.“

“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.“

“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 .“

“Took my girlfriend out to dinner here on a random Monday. We really enjoyed the food and service, and the restaurant has this awesome dark vibe. They feature plenty of bar space and a seating rail where you can enjoy drinks and small bites before you’re seated which made our short wait a fun experience. I told the bartender to recommend me a whiskey for a non-whiskey drinker and he was very accommodating.

We started with shrimp cocktail and focaccia bread with olives. The shrimp were large, clean, and meaty which I loved. The bread was a tad salty but delicious nonetheless. She had a Thai tuna salad and I had ribs for our main course which we enjoyed very much.

I highly recommend this spot for anything from a casual date to a special occasion! Smart casual attire but don’t be afraid to dress more formal either.“

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