Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Arcadia

Valentine’s Day tasting menu was great. Definitely a high volume day for restaurants but looking forward to trying their regular menu on a less crazy night. Our server Dylan was very nice and she was very quick with bringing out food/drinks despite her section being packed. We will be back :)

Excellent dining experience at Collins Brothers, as usual. My wife and I ate at Collins Brothers on Valentines Day evening, so the restaurant and bar areas were both very busy. Our server was excellent, very attentive to our food and cocktail needs. We both had the Lobster Bisque, followed by the Umami and Brown Rice salad. For our entree we shared the Butcher's Cut, a New York Strip steak with baked potato. We ordered the steak Medium Rare + and it was cooked perfectly. We eat at Collins Brothers frequently (often for Happy Hour) due to the quality of both the food and service. Our experience on Valentines Day was wonderful. Highly recommend!

It’s all in the details! Chef Joey does everything he does well and with style. The decor is on point, keep and eye on the murals - it’s fascinating. Everything we ate and drank was very good, if not great. Great wine list selection, I got the special - gnocchi and mushrooms - and too was excellent. This is definitely one we will return to when we are in town!

We had a wonderful meal on a Thursday evening. Just two of us. It was bustling as they have a solid happy hour daily 3:30-6:30. Started with beef tartare and octopus. Loved the endive vessel for the tartare instead of typical bread. Next course, gigli pasta - so simple yet full of flavor. I enjoyed the portion size for two people (smallish), allowing us to try a number of dishes. We are not big eaters but enjoy a variety. Lastly, as an entree we shared the branzino. Perfectly prepared, filleted, no head, no bones. The sauce was a compliment but did not take away the taste of the fish. Highly recommended! Service was spectacular too.

Another wonderful dinner at Olive & Ivy! We ordered the crispy brussels sprouts as and appetizer and it was an excellent start. We also split a beet salad, and it didn’t disappoint for those who love beets. My wife then ordered the chicken scallopini and she loved it. I dined on the filet and it was cooked perfectly. The sauce was delicious and the scalloped potatoes which accompanied the steak made it a totally enjoyable meal. Service was again outstanding. Certainly will be going back during our stay in the Scottsdale area.
