Beautiful spot. Very loud with the amazing live entertainment. Drinks were great. It is pricey but worth the money. Only downs were that the chicken order felt like Costco frozen nuggets, nothing elegant about them to match the vibes of the restaurant. Also, didn’t realize that our reservation had a time limit but that might’ve been my fault and didn’t read it. Overall a 5 star place, very excited to go back!

This is one of the loveliest and most elegant -- yet hip restaurants we go to when we visit Scottsdale. We had a wonderful server and the manager stopped by during our meal to say hello. The bar is beautiful and we sat at a high top table for 4.The steak was prepared perfectly to our request. It was delicious and served on the wicked hot plates was amazing. It is expensive but well worth it when taking time to enjoy a bit of luxury! We'll be back!!!!!

Marigold Maison is a local favorite. Great location for outstanding Indian food. We shared the Gobi Manchurian as a starter, and two kinds of tikka masala and eggplant as mains. Both came with plenty of yummy rice and mains were super-flavorful. The decor is modest and appropriate, and the staff is amazingly welcoming and kind. Wish there was a better wine list of a BYOB option.
