What an amazing place!My husband and I had a very nice dinner with a view of the lake. First we were disappointed because the menu on their website didn't match what they actually had at the restaurant. However, we still had a vert pleasant experience.The food was delicious and the service was good. We will be back next time we are in town.

Living in McCormick Ranch has allowed us to find some hidden treasures. The Pinion Grill in the McCormick is a nice place to enjoy some of Scottsdale scenery. The patio has done of the must beautiful vistas overlooking the lake at McCormick Golf Club. The only negative is the lack of a happy hour. Homero event manager and Antonio the bartender filled us in on the event scene at the hotel and in the neighborhood. Come at sunset.After my review Homero brought out a sample of the lettuce wraps. Awesome! Thanks!

Beautiful location. Nice waterfront view. Excellent customer service! Very clean and comfortable. Mellow chill vibe. Visit every time I visit Phoenix.

The restaurant was awesome experience. Food and service was superb.The lake side view with fire pit was to die for.I loved it

Went to Piñon Grill for the first time today. The food was unreal. We had the Flat Iron Steak and the Braised Short Ribs. Both were fantastic. The Bruschetta was also a very good appetizer. Our server, Damon, was incredible. He makes very good recommendations and knows the menu very well. Also has great customer service. We'll be back soon! Oh ya and get the creme brûlée for dessert, whether you have room or not, you won't be disappointed.

Looking for a romantic dining experience with below average food? Here it is.We were excited to try this place because we'd heard about the patio seating overlooking a lake, romantic lighting, and even an outdoor fire pit. But as we were being seated, we noticed the restaurant was almost empty. Not a good sign. It took a while for a server to approach our table. When we asked to see the prix fixe menu, he seemed annoyed. We decided against ordering from the prix fixe menu anyway, because it was solely Irish food designed to commemorate St. Patrick's Day, even though we were there a week or so after the holiday. It took another long while to actually place our food order. I also asked for an ice tea refill, which never came. This is not the kind of service you'd expect for a "fine dining" experience.As for the food, after our salad course, we were presented with a complimentary amuse bouche which was a little bit of olive oil, cheese, and a cherry tomato, served stylishly in a shot glass (see pic). This seemed like a promising way to start our meal. My husband had the filet and he said it was good. I had the pork chop and it was awful. Most of it was grizzled fat, and when I could find a pocket of lean meat, it was dry and flavorless. I'm usually not one to complain, but the meat was so tough, I had difficulty cutting it, even with a big steak knife. I should have returned it, but I didn't want to make a scene in such a beautiful environment. I regret that decision.Yes, the patio setting is lovely, but given the poor service and sub-standard food, we won't be returning

My husband and I are regular's at the hotel & restaurant we love the food. We also eat there for convenience However on Thursday June 13, the waiter there "Terry" was extremely rude we will no longer be eating there ever again! So sad that a place like that has employees that can ruin your experience!

Food adequate, TERRIBLE service! An hour to main course, then they were both wrong. "New computer system'". Yeah, right. Check the good reviews - at least 3 years old. AMF.

The steak tacos here are the best in the valley. Pair them with a cold beer and a warm evening out on the patio along the waterfront and you have found yourself in an unexpected heaven right here in Scottsdale. Always friendly and helpful staff.
