- LLilyChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoEverything we got was delicious and our waitress was so kind and helpful with recommendations! I will say the tables around the room felt cramped because we were sat right next to people on either side of us and it was very tight. Other than that, service was great. We enjoyed the whipped eggplant, ceasar salad, soprassata pizza, Bianca pizza, vodka pasta, and the pavlova. The pavlova was unexpected- slightly sweet and sour with different textures. Definitely will be back.More infoÉlephante ScottsdalePrice: Moderate• Italian• North Scottsdale•4.7
- EElizabethPhoenix / Arizona •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI recently visited The Ends, and I was not disappointed! The experience was wonderful, with a romantic ambiance that sets the perfect mood for a night out. The drinks? Absolutely phenomenal—creative, balanced, and downright memorable. However, let’s talk about the fries. Our waitress enthusiastically recommended them, so we gave them a shot, but… don’t. They’re your standard frozen fries served with ketchup—nothing special. Honestly, we weren’t even considering them until her pitch swayed us. Lesson learned. All in all, The Ends is a fantastic spot. Just steer clear of the fries, and you’ll be in for a great time!More infoThe EndsPrice: Expensive• American• Old Town Scottsdale•4.5
- KKathyVIPAtlanta Metro •134 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoFantastic meal, service and vibe! Entire staff was friendly - not just our servers. No complaints about a single thing. Our main server, Jeffrey was very nice to chat with and he was so attentive, it seemed he was always at our table when we needed anything. Don't skip the guacamole or grits! We all had beef entrees which were cooked perfectly and couldn't have tasted any better. Our birthday dessert was a pumpkin bread pudding and it was so delicious I might even like bread pudding now!More infoThe Mission – Old Town ScottsdalePrice: Moderate• Latin American• Old Town Scottsdale•4.6
