There's plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. There's also plenty of parking on site. Thanks to this awesome staff for providing great service."

Liberty Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (1936) • $$

"We love Gilbert and the food scene! Liberty Market has been on our list and we finally came for breakfast on 7/13/24 for my birthday. They open at 8am so we surprised to see how busy they were at 8:05am when we arrived - about 80% full inside. The hostess said that there is often a line when they unlock the door. We understand why. There's a lot to like about the Liberty Market. It's historic, the atmosphere is fun, there is inside & outside seating, the onesy bathrooms are all decorated different, everyone is so friendly and customer service oriented and the food is great!We ordered the demi-breakfast - one with pancakes, sausage and fried eggs and the other with blueberry pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs. The eggs were yummy with a nice orange yoke. We are really fussy about pancakes and these are in our top three! We liked the sausage, but loved the bacon. Our server, James was terrific and we also really enjoyed talking to one of the managers named Harry. Harry was great to give us a little historical background on Liberty Market.We plan to come back on Tuesday for my husband's birthday breakfast! The cinnamon roll looks pretty good! We may have to try them!Our"

"Date: Sunday, July 2nd, 2023Time: around 12:30pmParty of: 2Meal: Brunch / Breakfast / LunchHow: OpenTable WaitlistWait: about 35 mins*Build Your Own Bloody Mary Bar ($14)*Smoked Brisket Hash ($19)*Cobb Salad ($15)The main reason to come here? The bloody mary bar. I'm not a huge fan of bloodys in general, but I adore making a bouquet of veggies, cheese, and meat. Plus, you gotta do it for the gram! (I'm not on IG, but you know what I mean.) The toppings offered are aplenty, so go and add as much as you'd like. (I think you are only allowed the one trip.) Honestly, this in itself is a meal. The bloody part I thought was okay. Could have been spicier and more boozy, but you come here for the toppings. Food wise, everything else was all right. Tho I found it interesting everything came with onion rings.Ambiance wise, I am waaay too old for this place. All these youngins with their loud music? Grandma emoji right here. Very clubby vibe. And I saw some girls in little black dresses with heels. A bit too much for me in the daylight.Service was great. The person helping us out with the bloody bar gave me the rundown. She was also very impressed with my cocktail which made me smile.For me, definitely a spot where I go, one and done. The bloody bar was fun and I'm glad I experienced it. But with the wait and loud music, I don't need to do it again.REVIEW #3460"

Cafe Monarch

★★★★★ 4.6 (1237) • $$$$

"THIS PLACE... 5 STAR 100%. Cafe Monarch is heaven. From the second we walked in, we were absolutely taken care of by the staff!! The service is over the top, absolutely perfect! The food is INCREDIBLE. It is gorgeous inside, the bar area is beautiful. If you sit at the bar it's the only place that you can order a la carte. Otherwise it's a fixed menu. We were told that the chef is in his late 20s ((insanely talented)) and everynight there is a fixed menu. Everything we ordered was delicious and truly perfect. I could not tell you what my favorite dish was, except all of them.Yes, it is pricey, but you are getting the very best of the best. If you are on a budget maybe this isn't the spot for you, this is definitely a place where you treat yourself ((or in my case my bestie brought me here for my birthday)). If you are looking for a 5 star meal AND experience I promise you, this place knows what they are doing which is taking care of their guests! I will not be back soon BUT I cannot wait for that day to come!"

Ocotillo

★★★★☆ 4.1 (1466) • $$$

"Met up with some friends for dinner at Ocotillo, I have been a few times and love coming back! For dinner we sat inside, but Ocotillo has an amazing outdoor eating area on a beautiful lighted patio/backyard area, even a bar outside.I started my meal with a cocktail and for my main I had a homemade pasta dish with a meaty sauce. The cocktail was the perfect way to begin this meal. The pasta dish was filling and full of flavor, it also came with toasted Noble bread. I also got to try one of the ribs my friend order and man those were so dang good. Although I was perfectly pleased with my meal, I had plate envy haha. If looking for a great place a date night or night out go give Ocotillo a try!"

Farm & Craft

★★★★☆ 3.9 (1586) • $$

"This is a wonderful brunch spot in Scottsdale! Surprisingly there wasn't a wait when I visited, despite the restaurant being very busy. You can order at the counter and there is plenty of staff to check on you and bring out orders. I had the farmhouse which consisted of eggs (your choice), sautéed veggies and toast. It also comes with protein and they're able to substitute tofu. Everything was delicious and I especially loved the house jam The restaurant is very open with lots of natural light and great ambiance. I would definitely come here again!"

"I stopped in here for lunch today and really great experience!I chose to sit at the bar and it was pretty empty when I came in here at noon. Bartender was nice and service was spot on.Noodle salad with seared ahi tuna was delicious. Lunch total with beer, salad and upcharge for ahi tuna, tax and tip came to close to $50. Not exactly a cheap lunch.They did throw in a free appetizer coupon on next visit, which is good for 2 weeks.Nice spot and would consider coming back when I feel like treating myself to a nice lunch every once in awhile.Just the seared ahi tuna is worth it!Nice date spot too to impress that special someone!"

Bluewater Grill - Phoenix

★★★★☆ 4.2 (1301) • $$

"Came here on Easter Sunday and we had a wonderful time! To start off, the complimentary sourdough bread with butter was amazing. We even received some extra to take home! I had the pasta with shrimp and scallops and it was delicious. Others in our party had the chicken and salmon, they all devoured their food! We were also celebrating a birthday and were given complimentary dessert. I don't usually like creme brulee but theirs is top notch!! Overall, the service and food were amazing. The restaurant is clean and relaxing. We had a great family dinner."

JOJO Coffeehouse Breakfast & Brunch

★★★★☆ 4.1 (1175) • $$

"Cute, solid breakfast/brunch spot in Old Town. There are 3-4 street parking spots in front of the restaurant, and plenty of free street parking around. We came on a Sunday around 12:30pm and waited 20 minutes after we got on the waitlist. Not bad! It was definitely very lively and there was a musician playing, although, I couldn't hear him over the chatter and buzz. I could barely hear my friend sitting across from me! The seating is cozy, particularly where we were sitting, alongside the wall to the bathroom. Service was prompt, which is great! Although it seems trivial, I was turned off by the plastic cups they served water in. For a nice Scottsdale restaurant, I can't get a glass? Also not eco-friendly/cost effective.We ordered the summer special, Pina colada pancakes ($17) and the cinnamon roll pancakes ($17). We paired them with the cranberry-lime mimosa ($12) and screwdriver ($12). Our order came out within 15 minutes. The pancakes were smaller in diameter than the average Ihop pancake. The pina colada pancakes definitely tasted like a pina colada and I appreciated the toasted coconut on each pancake. No complaints as to the cinnamon roll pancake either."

Perfect Pear Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.4 (945) • $$

"We found this place on Yelp after finishing a tour of the nearby Lavender Farms. It was busy around lunch on a Friday but we asked to sit outside and were immediately sat. Shawna greeted us within minutes with ice water and a smile. I ordered the BLTA with seasoned sweet potato fries on focaccia bread. It was huge & delicious but I would have preferred strips of bacon vs. chopped. It was hard to eat because it all kept falling out. My mom ordered the Mediterranean salad with falafel and said it was FANTASTIC."

"Good spot for breakfast. Latte was just ok. My friend got a cold brew and didn't like it. I went with the sweet potato bowl and it was very good. The hash mix is pre made so I couldn't take the leeks out but it was still ok. I would have liked an additional egg it only comes with one. My friend had the breakfast sandwich and said it was amazing. We split the French toast and it was just ok. It was a bit dry. The topping was good though. Service was good. Place is cute. Would recommend"

"Everything we ate at Firebirds was amazing!We came during Restaurant week.I loved my creamy chicken Tortilla Soup. Mom always said we eat with our eyes. This soup looked amazing dressed with colored tortilla strips on top. My husband had the BLT salad and it was amazing!!!I had the New York Strip. It was yummy, but the Parmesan encrusted pork chop was pure artistry. I didn't care for the reduction sauce, but the chop was Wow!Our cheesecake was amazing! I cannot wait to come back."

"Oh how I love this restaurant! My friend Angie chose this place for us to meet up. I don't know how I had never even heard of it before she made our reservations. I am so incredibly glad that she brought me here because this place is amazing. The atmosphere is is what I would call upscale French country. They are beautiful arrangements of porcelain wear champagne bottles and even figurines of chickens. There are fleur-de-lis painted on the ceiling and the plates are all provincial China. There is a lovely garden patio, halloween sat inside. When we were seated, we received bread with pesto, some olives, and some marcona olives. We began our order with the baked chevre with crostini and the bacon, gruyere and leek tartlet. The tartlet had a crust that was so light and flaky and buttery that it literally melted in your mouth. So delicious! We move out your entrees. The beef bourguignon's burgundy gravy was so rich and flavorful and delicious and the meat was so tender. The scallops in white wine sauce and gruyere with wild mushrooms was superb. The scallops were huge - - I only ate 1 and 1/2 so I could have room for dessert. Dessert was fabulous! We had the chocolate raspberry cake with fresh raspberries, buttercream, and chocolate mousse. It was a wonderful dark chocolate. We also had the tuxedo cake--yellow cake layered with chocolate ganache, chocolate mousse, and white chocolate buttercream. It was heavenly!Our server was great. She gave us plenty of time and did not rush us at all. We were a bit surprised when she brought us plastic to go boxes, instead of taking our plates back in boxing them as you would expect in a place like this. That said, they've only just started dinner service, it may not be in the groove yet. This place is wonderful. The atmosphere is absolutely lovely, as was our server, and everything we ate was an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. Be prepared--I have a lot of pictures!"

"Perfect Pear Bistro is always one of my favorite places to stop for lunch. My coworkers and I stopped by for lunch and absolutely loved our meal. It was a party of 6 of us and they were able to seat us within 10 minutes, even during the busy time. Our waitress was great, and brought out extra Arnold palmer for us to refill throughout our meal. My sandwich was divine, per usual. I love the melty cheese and sauce on it. It is so light and refreshing in a hot day. I got sweet potato fries this time as my side, which were perfectly crispy. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather and misters on the patio while we ate. We had such a great time!"

ZuZu

★★★★☆ 4 (809) • $$

"We stayed at the Valley Ho to attend the wedding of some great friends of ours. Because I am lazy and we didn't rent a car, I am always cool hanging out at the hotel bar and restaurant for the most par. Most times I don't expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised by the service and food at ZuZu, so much that this was the only place The Doctor and I ate at while in town.As some of the other reviewers have mentioned, ZuZu is an extension of the Valley Ho's Mid-Century look. The indoor décor is lovely as well as the outdoor area...absolutely wonderful, with plenty of umbrellas to keep the sun off of us, even though it was not that warm.For the most part, every meal we had there was great, and the service was excellent. There were not many times where I got to fill my own flute with bubbles, which I am used to doing. I can speak with authority that breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all worthwhile. Some of the dishes for dinner are very eclectic, going from Mexican to Iceland to Asia.I am sure that there are other places to eat in Scottsdale, but as this was my first time here, this would be my go to place if we travel back here."

The Greene House

"I had an absolutely amazing lunch here with my team. The service was timely and professional - and executed with amazing expertise. We were sat quickly, the team that served us was sufficient, we had our food delivered promptly, everything was delicious - and we were able to be in and out in under an hour for the six of us. The place's esthetic was very clean and business casual. It's a great place to stop by for a business meeting, special lunch, or a stop after a fitness class. I had the ahi tuna poke lunch meal and it was incredible. Excited to go back!"

Virtù Honest Craft

★★★★☆ 4.3 (662) • $$$$

"Virtu was on my list for so long that I had no idea what to expect when we finally went this past weekend. Unlike the rest of Old Town, parking was easy and we got a spot right in front of the restaurant.We were seated on the patio and I think this is the way to go here. I never went inside but every time a door opened, it seemed very loud. Plus, the patio is adorable and romantic.We did the prix fixe tasting menu and I definitely recommend it. The amuse was a cannellini bean soup that was an impressive start. My salmon crudo was fantastic and a bigger portion than I was expecting. The lemon sorbet palate cleaner was just perfect. My sea bass was perfectly prepared and expertly seasoned. Husband was equally pleased with his duck. We ordered the mesquite noodles outside of our tasting menu choices because we were curious and I'm glad we did - it was interesting and yummy. Desserts were also a standout.Service was pretty relaxed and we started to get worried about getting out in time to make an 8 pm show but we let our server know and they made sure to get us out of there on time.We will definitely return."

Morning Squeeze

"I love this place, I always meet the nicest people sitting at the bar, sipping on my iced coffee on a weekend morning while enjoying conversations with people. They just merged with the owners of Eggstasy so their menu has been expanded and improved. The food selection is varied and good but honestly my favorite part about this place is location and atmosphere. A lot of great memories and connections have been made here and my service by Cody this morning was fabulous!"

Culinary Dropout

★★★★☆ 4.1 (637) • $$

"This place is a gem. The service is on another level compared to the average spot. The servers are well-trained and attentive.The food is outstanding. I've tried the beef dip here--excellent. The Detroit pizza? Surprisingly top-notch, especially for a place that doesn't specialize in pizza.The rooms are good looking, and the overall atmosphere is pure pleasure. Everything is beautiful and well-maintained. It's a relaxing yet refined environment that strikes the perfect balance--not too formal, but not a free-for-all either. They thread the needle perfectly.While not cheap, it's also not 'high-end' expensive. You definitely get your money's worth. It's a great place to enjoy a dinner out with friends. And if you're a fan of pretzels with cheese, their appetizer is a must-try."

The Collins Small Batch Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (540) • $$

"First time at the Collins at this location. Stopped by for happy hour but decided to have a quick pre-concert dinner. Bar was pretty noisy but dinning area was pleasant. Service was excellent. Shared a Bacon & Brussel Sprout appetizer. Grilled Chicken and Brie Sandwich with Fries was the dinner entree. Have never been disappointed at the Collins."

Caffe Boa

★★★★☆ 3.5 (846) • $$

"We came here before going to a show at Gammage Auditorium. This must be a frequent stop for people on their way to Gammage, because as soon as we entered and got seated, the server asked if we were headed to a show there. We said yes, and she promised to get us out in time. Caffe Boa has a great atmosphere with lots of dark wood and exposed brick. We sat in the little sunroom separated from the dining room with our doorways. It's brighter in there. There's a separate bar and a glassed off room for more private dining. One of the best things about this place is the great art posters, all having to do with wine.The food here is fantastic. Hubby had the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were delicious, although I admit I love all meatballs. I did like the red sauce, which I can be a little picky about, and would definitely order anything with the red sauce. I had the steak salad, which was very large. It was dressed greens with sliced steak on the side, and I could hardly finish it. I did, because it was soooo good, but I left feeling stuffed.Caffe Boa is a really great place in general, but especially Great for a pre-event dinner in Tempe."

Tryst Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (635) • $$

"My buddy and I wanted someplace healthy shortly after lunch on a Sunday. It was busy but not so busy that we had to wait for a table. The server was patient and attentive. He had some strong recommendations, which is always appreciated, as I rarely order by looking at the menu.I had the Ahi Tuna Melt and it was pretty good. I personally would have appreciated some jalapeños, or hot peppers.They had a relatively large selection of healthy-type foods. I say "healthy-type" because they looked healthy-ish but I haven't tried them, yet, so I don't know.I could definitely see going back!!"

"11-25-22Reservations Open TableI credit this exceptional find of a restaurant to my Mother in Law. In planning for our trip to Phoenix I wanted to make reservations to take them out. She chose this place and I reserved an early dinner for four. Parking was convenient as it is next to a golf course so beautiful views. We sat outside with heaters on which was really nice. As we are on holiday and to celebrate my husband's early birthday we started with cocktails. I had a spicy blood orange Margarita it was delicious. The table shared a order of fried buttermilk calamari. For the main course I had scallops. Dessert we had a birthday celebration for hubby as well as a crème brûlée that we shared. When the check came I almost fainted as it was half the price the same experience would cost in Miami. Definitely would return the service, food and atmosphere were super."

Hush Public House

★★★★★ 4.5 (456) • $$

"I looked up top restaurants in Phoenix area and Hush was highly recommended!The place is pretty discreet in a shopping center- you wouldn't suspect there is a bustling restaurant inside!We were a party of 6 and we all enjoyed our dishes. Standout for me was the french fries! Yep! They mash the potatoes up and then make them into fries, it is so pillowy and delicious inside because of that!! Still dreaming of them. The crab hush puppies were delish and crispy- a must share with a group. Also, that date cake is to die for. I am not huge into desserts but this was a winner across everyone at the dining table. Don't skimp on getting dessert!Overall, a great place to come if you are in the area and want a more upscale place to dine."

The Parlay Kitchen + Cocktails

★★★★☆ 3.9 (602) • $$

"Hubby and I did a "staycation" at a hotel in Chandler this past weekend for two nights. The second night we decided to check out The Parlay restaurant down the street a couple blocks away. I had seen it be built and fitted a few years back, since my office building is also nearby. A friend from church also said it was good. I went online to see the menu and it had a reservation option so I went ahead and did that. When we arrived it was quite loud because there was a singer with a guitar, so it was hard to talk to the seater. But having live music was nice, and at the very end of our visit the guy played "Blister in the Sun" by the Violent Femmes, one of my all-time favorite songs from high/school college era (1980s). Mostly he had been going 90s grunge and 70s rock so this was quite a pleasant surprise! Definitely the highlight for me!But the food was amazing too! Hubby was feeling a bit lightheaded from not having had lunch so we ordered an appetizer, the portobello mushrooms with veggie and cheese filling. It was out of this world! I also ordered the French onion soup, which is their standard soup. It was way more than standard though, with a lovely swiss cheese "lid" baked on top and extremely savory broth filled with lots of onions and bread pieces. Yum-O!I really couldn't eat it all though because then our entrees arrived. I had the Southwest Mac and Cheese -- to die for! -- and hubby had a Gardenburger with fries. The fries were crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle with great flavor, which is very unusual to find. I couldn't come close to eating all my pasta dish so took about half of it home.I also had a blackberry margarita which was as good as it was beautiful. Hubby just had Diet Coke but they were very attentive about refilling that and our waters. The waitstaff was just awesome in general.I also used the facilities while there, and the bathrooms were beautiful! It was a layout I had never seen before, where the men's and women's rooms did not have sinks; they had a collective sink wall outside the restrooms that was beautiful too!I forgot to mention that the whole building is glass walls to the outside, which made it really fun to people watch and look at the views. There was a patio/courtyard in the middle and then the "bar" on the other side. They had sports on big-screen TVs but the sound was off so you could visit.Very nice! Definitely will go back! Not cheap, but super duper delicious!"

Burgers & Brews

★★★★★ 4.5 (452) • $$

"Really Tasty BurgersThis was our first time visit to Burgers and Brew but it wont be our last. The food is great, the restaurant is very clean, televions every where, and the service is spot on. Definitely will be coming back again.On this visit we shared 3 burgers (Pheonix Burger, Cali Burger and the Mac-n-Cheese burger), fries, tater tots, and onion rings. All the burgers were perfectly cooked and seasoned, served on a buttery bun, they were absolutely delicious, probably one of the best burgers I've had in a while and the french fries, tatertots and onion rings were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served pipping hot. I think next to the burger the onion rings were my favorite.If you're looking fir a great tasting burger, made fresh, served hot, that is full of flavor, stop by. The service is spot on and the food is delicious."
