“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.“

“Best vegan burger I've EVER had! Also had the loaded fried and chicken strips - all delicious. We would eat here all the time if we lived here.“

“The food was good, waitress very plesent. The place is super clean and welcoming. I ordered Spicy Basil Chicken 5 out of 5 spicy, it was delicious but not spicy, however, the chili spice on the table was spicy enough. Great place! Thank You!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Dined here tonight for my mothers 93rd Birthday. Our server Tony made it off the charts special. My mother is SUPER DIFFICULT he made everything seem seamless and my father with dementia was treated very very well. Thank you Tony so much for making my mothers Birthday special and all the extra's you did for us. I will always request you when I come next you went above and beyond truly. Thanks for making it memorable! He's the Best! :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This Place Was Fantastic! Great Food & Quality Service!!!“

“First time to the castle and my mother and I had a fantastic time. We saw the show today 8/30, sat in the red/yellow section, table 3 and our server was excellent. The food was delicious and hot, just the right amount of seasoning.
The show is a great combination of skill, beauty and WWE. The entire event was great, they kept things moving, and kept us engaged waving our flags and cheering for our knight. There isn’t a bad seat in the arena so if you don’t want to break the bank then go for the general admission ticket and enjoy the show and food.
I would definitely go back for another show. Bravo to the entire team at the castle.“

“First time dining at Uchi. Wow! Amazing food and beautifully prepared. Every bite was a delicious morsel.“

“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!“

“Everything is so delicious. However, I ONLY get the DXB chicken tawook sandwich. The owner, Marwan, is such a great guy and you can taste the love and dedication he has put into the food. I also love the new location’s pick-up order cubbies. Makes everything very quick and easy when you’re in a rush.“

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

“I spent a year going all over Phoenix in search of the best burger. Blue Burger Grille is the clear winner. Always a consistent burger with great service by dedicated employees and an owner generally onsite. The Habanero Burger is my favorite. I hope you try them and pick yours. You won't be disappointed!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Wonderful food and the presentation was amazing! Servers were very friendly and make sure you have what you need, even boxed our food for us! Ps save room for dessert the cannolis and the pumpkin cheesecake were delicioussss“

“Cory and Saul made sure are dining experience was perfect!!! The lobster tails were sweet and cooked perfectly... Old school charm that reminds you on how a restaurant and staff can truly be. We are definitely going to be regular patrons...“

“We just opened a shop down the street from this restaurant. We decided to try it one day, and now we're hooked! We go once a week. Their surf and turf fajitas, nachos, and quesadillas are amazing!“

“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.“

“Felt really comfortable there and the food was amazing. I love a big breakfast on my Sunday’s after church. Staff were very friendly!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“We went tonight for the first time and the food was amazing. The service was phenomenal. Jocelyn was great. The food came out fast was hot and delicious.“

“10/10. This place is legit - not like other establishments that count on people not knowing what real food is supposed to taste like. Everything we got was impressive, even the fries, and *especially* the toffee brownie (whomever made the ice cream knew what they were doing).“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing authentic food and great service. 6 out of 5 stars!“

“found out about The Stand about a month before my trip to Tempe and I've been thinking about it nearly everyday since. Made it there minutes before they closed today. I was expecting to be let down - nothing can live up to those expectations! But they exceeded it by miles! Bad thing is I only get to this area once a year!“

“Our favorite place since moving to Scottsdale! Authentic, charming interior, classy and the food is amazingly delicious! The Management and staff set the tone for the experience of dining here. Rentu (spelling ?) the General Manager delightful and personable and Cody our server for Christmas Eve dinner, superb. 5 stars all the way!“
