Best Waterfront Restaurants in North Scottsdale

In town for a couple weeks and kept seeing how busy this place was, reviews looked up our alley, so we made a reservation for 8. We arrived early, 4 of us had drinks at the bar, live music was on point, and bar service was quick and well made cocktails. We were sat outside, with the heaters on low it was perfect, but a little loud (the live music was being fed via speakers), we asked and they adjusted them. The waitress was on her game, did fantastic. We had the pretzel / fondue app, and we devoured 2 sets of them. All of us were happy about our food, extremely tasty and well proportioned, except one that just wasn’t good, like maybe hit the heat lamps a bit. A couple of us tried his steak/frittes annd agreed it was not it…. So he started eating off everyone else since it was all good. The waitress offered to remake it fresh when she noticed and we said nah, he had food from everyone and was good. So she offered to take it off the meal (there was maybe 1 - 1 1/2 slices of steak gone and nearly no fries gone). We said that would be appreciated and thanks, and no worries everyone was good. The chef came out then and said he’d fire a new one and we could take it home even if he was fed now, we told him it was really not required/ needed. He then offered dessert, so we took him up on the desert and of course we all ate that up something fierce!!! When the bill came he had removed the steak meal, gave us free desserts and comp’d the apps. That was WAY more then I expected and service showing me how much some people want things to go right. Definitely made me say I’ll be back, and made for a 5 star review.

Love the food and a great place to gather with friends!

The first thing that stood out to us was the ambience - the lighting, the open airflow, the Spanish music, the entire vibe was just perfect. We enjoyed our dinners (the fajitas did not disappoint!), and appreciated that there was a kids menu so our three children could find a meal to suit them as well. We would definitely come back here again next time we visit Scottsdale.

Food is good but it’s loud if you sit inside so if you want to carry on conversations maybe sit outside

Always a great time. We love this place, but it was our first time at this location. We loved an idea of sitting in the booth for example that is not available at our favorite location in Tempe. As always and no matter what location you are in - salmon is cooked to perfection and everything else is delicious.
