The Art of Dining in Scottsdale

For those who own one of the many beautiful Scottsdale homes, restaurant dining is a fine art. From classical to romantic to contemporary and fusion, there’s a pallet-full of distinctive dining choices guaranteed to tantalize pretty much anyone’s palette.  



Scottsdale houses restaurants with irresistible names like Salty Senorita and Cowboy Ciao have equally imaginative menus that offer multi-ethnic flavors that reawaken your taste buds. In addition, many of Scottsdale’s upscale resorts have critically-acclaimed signature restaurants that are definitely worth the visit.  

Scottsdale is fortunate to be a premier location for local restaurateur Sam Fox’s growing collection of boutique restaurants, but if your taste is more traditional, Scottsdale also has an array of seafood houses and steakhouses, from one-of-a-kind hot-spots to well-known favorites such as Fleming’s, Mastro’s and Ruth’s Chris.  

If you’re looking for something a little bit more funky, you can chow down on some Western grub at Handlebar J Restaurant & Saloon, Pinnacle Peak Patio Steakhouse or at Old Scottsdale’s Rusty Spur Saloon.  

For truly authentic Mexican food prepared by a truly authentic Scottsdale pioneer family, don’t miss Los Olivos Patio Restaurant, named for the olive trees that used to line the street where the restaurant is located (on the corner of Second Street and Wells Fargo). Tomas Corral and his family were amongst the first Mexican families to arrive in Scottsdale in 1917 to help in the cotton fields that farmers were expanding to supply cotton for World War I. Mr. Corral opened an adobe brickyard near where Scottsdale Center for the Arts now stands and during the Depression, Mrs. Corral sold tamales door to door.  

For lighter meals and tasty treats be sure to try one of Scottsdale’s numerous pubs, grills, sports bars, pizza joints, coffee houses, or scrumptious ice cream and frozen yogurt parlors. Meanwhile, Grimaldi’s coal-fired brick oven, New York-style thin crust pizza is a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists. rl0z1
