Best Family Style Restaurants in Central Scottsdale

Awesome service and food. We did the weekend brunch. We had a vegan, nut allergy and vegetarian in our group and everyone ate well and needs were catered to. We will be requesting Zac on our return trip. We had so many shared items that we were unable to finish our entree. You are not allowed to take out leftovers. This wasn't a deal breaker but considering food waste I would consider changing this policy. The ONLY negative was that the music was very loud but once we settled in we didn't notice it as much.

Every single staff member I interacted with was so personable and welcoming. It was such a nice experience, especially for being new. Thank you for hiring great people! The host made nice conversation walking us to the table, the server was a so nice and you could tell it was genuine. Her name was Elizabeth I would absolutely ask for her if you visit. The food came out at a nice pace, and the pricing was very reasonable! Absolutely had a wonderful experience and will be back

From the moment we arrived, everyone welcomed us in! The food was phenomenal, and the staff were like a well oiled machine. Everyone helped everyone, and we were never left wondering where someone was. Our waiter, Patrick, was nothing short of spectacular. He gave menu recommendations, talked with us throughout the evening, and made us feel like we were his only table, even though we saw he had others. We took the recommendations from others to reserve a private booth in the back, and I highly recommend this, not only for the privacy and quiet, but even more so because the view of the kitchen made our evening! This restaurant is one of the best we have ever been to, and we will definitely be back again!! A must try for anyone who has never been!

We arrived early for our reservation and while we were waiting we found 2 seats at the bar. Since it was comfortable and the same menu was available we decided to eat at the bar. Good choice as Joe was our bartender and was very attentive. We started with the mussels and then I had Gnocchi, which was excellent and my wife had Gigli, also very good. We finished with Tiramisu, which was killer good. Overall a very enjoyable Christmas Day dinner.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday on Christmas Eve. Everything was wonderful. We had the branzino fish. It was prepared exceptional. Our waitress was very efficient and endearing. The last thing I would mention is the noise level. So many restaurants in Scottsdale play very loud music which brings up the level of sound to make it unable to talk to someone sitting right next to you. Ocean 44 was perfect. We could slightly hear the music but enjoyed talking to each other
