- SSabrinaPhoenix / Arizona •5 reviews5.0Dined todayWhen you walk through the gates you feel like you’re in Europe. We were immediately greeted upon walking in. Once seated we were quickly given menus and met our servers. They went through the menus (wine, cocktail, caviar, and the different courses) with great detail. We chose 2 cocktails and the four courses. My partner and I ordered all the courses so we could try everything. I chose the rack of lamb and he chose the surf and turf as the final course. Everything was fantastic. The dishes were cooked to perfection and packed with unique flavors. We finished off with the pear creme brûlée for dessert, which was very good, but the four course meal was definitely the star of the show. We had a wonderful evening, and we would highly recommend for a special occasion to treat yourself at Cafe Monarch.More infoCafe MonarchPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Old Town Scottsdale•4.9

- DDianaPhoenix / Arizona •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoLovely breakfast catching up with a friend. The short rib hash could have been a lot more tender- was more like tough stew meat. Arcadia was great, recognizing it was not the best meal they had served, and removed it from my final bill. Everything else was wonderful.More infoArcadia Farms CaféPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Central Scottsdale•4.7
- GGlendaPhoenix / Arizona •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoDelightful choices, perfect for late afternoon/early dinner dining in a beautiful garden setting. Seasonal vegetables and meats put together in fresh creative ways. Hummus appetizer with homemade blue corn chips a must. Also the desert fruit tamale with guava sorbet and coconut a surprisingly delicious ending.More infoGertrude's - PhoenixPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Central Phoenix•4.7
- EElizabethPhoenix / Arizona •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoGreat food and a spectacular view of the valley. We decided to book reservations for Christmas 2024 Brunch and we were very impressed with the service & food. Unfortunately our reservations were booked the week of Christmas so the only option available was for outdoor seating. Winter in Phoenix can be a bit cold when dining outdoors so they were nice enough to provide blankets to guests seated outdoors, which we thought was excellent. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely dine sometime again.More infoTop of the Rock Restaurant at the Marriott Buttes ResortPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Tempe•4.5
