“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.“

“I have been a vegetarian for over 50 years, thanks to wonderful restaurants like this, vegans can enjoy a fantastic meal out!! Having eaten there several times now, I have brought a few meat eaters along. When they say the food was life changing, you know you are on to something right ! Keep up the good work and open one on Mesa please !“

“A wonderful dining experience! Went for Eddie's hour and the food was FANTASTIC! Our server was very attentive and our meal was paced very well! We were celebrating a birthday and the complimentary desert provided was delicious! We will definitely return!“

“Jacque gave us an amazing service! She’s very attentive and super helpful. The service was amazing, fast and we will definitely visit again. Thankyou jacque!“

“Supposedly a high end steak house, the only thing high end are the prices and egos of their management team. Many better dining alternatives.“

“I just spent my first time going to Ocean 44 and I must say, this is one of the best restaurants I had ever been to. When I took my wife there they really took care of us. Any questions we had about the menu they made sure they walked us through the whole menu so knew how everything works. They took care of us just as good as being at a life loan Doctors office. I definitely recommend this place and especially to take your date to.“

“First time visiting YC’s in Tempe. The Food was great with a large selection of veggies and sauce. The employees were very friendly and went above and beyond helping us. The manager was very friendly also and spent some time talking with us about our home state of Alaska. We now live just outside Casa Grande and would love a YC’s Mongolian bbq in Casa Grande area. There is nothing like this in our area.“

“Crazy busy on a Saturday night at 7pm. Seemed a bit understaffed.
You order heat level 1-5. My wife said “mild “ and it came out zero heat. She had pad Thai . I ordered spicy basil level 2 and it was quite hot ( more 3+)
Simple wide open space dining . Clean
Food served in timely fashion
I had an inordinate amount of Chicken which was great
Quality very good
Recommendable“

“This was my first time ever being to a Medieval Times and I had an amazing time. The environment was exciting, and just entrapped you. My voice is hoarse from all the yelling I did. Beyond that, the food was really good, with one of the best things being the tomato bisque in my opinion. The drinks were very delicious as well, and I enjoyed the First Knight.

I also want to shout out Krysten, they were super enthusiastic about their job, and incredibly charismatic. I think she did an amazing job, was really knowledgeable about the products being sold, and easily sold us on several things, like the Merlin dagger my friend got, and the dragon plushie I got. She honestly was a highlight of the visit“

“The atmosphere was great and the service and food exceptional !!!! Highly recommend!!!!!“

“Staff are quite friendly. They checked on us after serving every dish. Ambience is very welcoming. Love the freshener sticks they used in restrooms. However, the food is not so great. Paneer masala, Mango lassi and Indian salad were decent.“

“Just decided to try this restaurant on a whim! Ordered the Chicken Tawook Plate with sides of Lentil soup & salad, all of which was delicious! I will be back!“

“Visiting friends from out of town, we had great food, wine and service! We had a great experience. Chris made it extra special. Thank you again!“

“Amazing food, excellent service authentic French cuisine!!!!“

“This place is amazing. Very good food , very very friendly staff, good music and the right level. The lighting was even perfect. The late night Seen is the best seven to close. Very easy-going very chill Tuesday night. The food is very good. The staff is super polite and it’s tucked away off the beaten path. How good the food is mixed in with the atmosphere. Hands-down, one of the best hidden little gems in Scottsdale. I don’t write these that much. I’m not drunk either. ;) but very good food and very nice people with a solid atmosphere!“

“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.“

“We visited Blu Burger with our two kids last weekend, and it was delicious! We started out with the Crispy Brussels Sprouts- those were the best and even our 3yo loved them! I had the Metropolitan Burger and my husband had the Steakhouse Wagyu Burger, both so packed with flavor and each element complimented the next. Our kids each enjoyed a build your own kids burger and they loved the sweet potato fries. The service was excellent- we were well taken care of our whole visit. We will definitely be back soon!“

“We received a box of croissants as a gift from Andreoli Italian Grocer. The box itself was a masterpiece featuring the acclaimed Chef Giovanni Scorzo, showcasing the delectable items inside. These croissants melt in your mouth like a sweet delight when prepared correctly. If you’re looking for something extraordinary, I highly recommend this as a gift.“

“The spring rolls were so fresh and the sauce...their homemade sweet &sour sauce sprinkled with peanuts, was amazing. Got the Gai Kua, waiter’s recommendation, over my usual Pad Se Ew and so glad I went with this. The flavors are like a party in your mouth. Also tasted the Shrimp and asparagus special, equally as good. And the portions...very generous! Wish I would have had room to try the mango and sticky rice...next time!“

“We had the most amazing experience on Valentine’s Day. John L one of the managers went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. We sat out on the patio to have a drink as we were early for our reservation. The bartender even popped her head out and checked to see if we needed another round. It was the best experience and we have been to many capitol grills around the country.“

“The atmosphere was great and the service and food exceptional !!!! Highly recommend!!!!!“

“Always liked the VT. Food and service is the best.“

“Highly recommend this place. The food has never disappointed—this is my fourth visit as of writing this review, and it’s been consistently excellent every time. Compared to Amelia’s, Grass Roots is in a completely different league. I actually had a burger at Amelia’s last night and left a two-star review; side-by-side, it’s not even close. At Grass Roots, you get more food, better quality, and far better value. The burger here was outstanding, and I’ll absolutely be coming back.“

“Brought my business team here for an annual event and we had an amazing time! Our server Alyssa was phenomenal and helped us with food selection for a family style, multi-course meal and drink selections. Easily the best food I've had in a couple of years and arguably the best sushi I've ever had. While this is a premium location to eat at, you will be investing in delicious memories and an unforgettable experience!
For special occasions and treating yourself, you can't go wrong here. And shout out to Alyssa again for the friendly, professional, and humorous evening!“

“Rosati’s Pizza is easily the best tasting in Phoenix…Have ordered from them for last 20 years and have never been disappointed. Just wish the restaurant was closer… currently a one hour round trip drive…. but SO worth it.“

“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.“

“We have been eating at Ajo Al's for years. The food is consistently good and served promptly. We typically sit at the bar and the service from Oscar R has been outstanding. He is engaging and makes the dining experience excellent.“

“Love this place! Nice Local, great food and great staff!!“

“Tasty food and love the big portions.“

“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.“

“I’m team Green Chili popover!!“

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

“I come to Arizona once a year and Taco Papi is absolutely the best place for great Mexican food!“

“LAMP is simply the best wood fired pizza in the valley. It’s exceptional.“

“Anytime me and my husband come to town we make it a point to visit Postino (Highland) as often as possible! They have amazing gluten free bruschetta boards and paninis! Great food for a great deal. The servers have always been incredibly friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to come back the next time we are in town.“

“Delicious food, and desserts.“

“Having dined here several times, I can confidently say this restaurant continues to impress where it matters most — the food. Each visit reaffirms its standing as a place that knows how to deliver bold, authentic flavors and a well-balanced dining experience. On my most recent visit, every dish from our table was spot-on, beautifully prepared, and deeply satisfying. The kitchen remains the restaurant’s strongest asset — consistently turning out vibrant, flavorful plates that celebrate Italian cuisine without pretense. The cocktails arrived promptly and were well-crafted, setting the tone for an enjoyable meal. The wine list deserves a special nod: it offers a thoughtful selection of Italian wines that are both excellent and reasonably priced — a rarity that regulars will appreciate. Ambiance can vary depending on the night. At times, the tables feel a bit tightly packed, and the noise level can climb higher than comfortable. This visit, however, was more balanced — the addition of live music created a warm, convivial atmosphere, and conversation flowed easily. Service, unfortunately, remains the restaurant’s weakest link. Our server spoke so quickly that explanations about the menu were rushed and unclear, and attention throughout the meal was uneven. While this lack of polish doesn’t overshadow the exceptional kitchen, it does detract from what could otherwise be a near-perfect dining experience. In short, come for the food — it’s worth it. The culinary team continues to deliver excellence on the plate, making this a restaurant that earns repeat visits. But with a bit more focus on service refinement, it could elevate from “very good” to truly outstanding. Bottom Line: ⭐ Food: 9/10 – Consistently excellent, authentic, and flavorful 🍷 Drinks: 8.5/10 – Strong cocktails and a well-priced Italian wine list 🎶 Ambiance: 8/10 – Lively, sometimes loud, but charming with live music 💁 Service: 6.5/10 – Rushed and inattentive; room for improvement 💰 Overall Value: 8.5/10 – Excellent food at fair prices Verdict: Go for the cuisine — and hope the service soon matches the kitchen’s brilliance.“

“A charming cafe with delicious food and pleasant service.“

“My go-to for lunch at work. Fresh and flavorful, lots of options.“

“Az 88 is a sleeper when it comes to amazing food and service. The atmosphere is awesome tons of fun and great ambience. Of course, everybody knows about their world, famous cocktails, which live up to all the hype. What you may not know is how incredible their food is would highly recommend 10 out of 10.“

“they messed with my paycheck and loved bullying me for a year and half“
