    This is not our first Rodeo going to Society. Absolutely love this place, and it just continues to get better and better each visit! Today I ordered the Mushroom pasta with blackened chicken after being stuck on Beef Vodka Pasta and Chicken Alfredo the last 3 visits. We always start out with the Feta whip appetizer, with bread and pita wedges. The Spicy Sandia drink is the best drink we've tasted East Coast to West Coast, hands down. The Guava drink is the next best 👌. We decided to take our son who loves Shirley Temples, and got a super tall one today with Chicken Alfredo. It was his first experience and he concurs it's the best. Brittney our waitress was attentive, personable and great! The ambiance is stellar, temp crisp but not too cold, and decor on point. Our favorite restaurant in AZ. We have brought out of town guests, celebrated our Anniversary, and now Valentines with Society, thank you for an awesome experience.

    Ryan our server was amazing and very accommodating. We didn’t expect them to have much for vegan options but he tried his best to make things work for us and also made sure we had a pleasurable and comfortable experience on a colder night. He was amazing and everything was great.

    We had a great time. I had a small issue with my food. Both my server and the manager corrected my situation with ease. I appreciate the effort and customer service. Its rare these days and I will support Elephante simply because I know I will leave with the best experience. We overall enjoyed the ambiance. The menu is good. If I had one recommendation for improvement… they have many things that many Scottsdale restaurants already offer for less money… and on the same class of restaurant as Elephante. Seems like this could be a weak point personally. However, I think the restaurant is beautiful, and look forward to coming back and enjoying another great experience! Thanks for reading

    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.
