Café Monarch, in Old Town Scottsdale, is a family-owned and operated restaurant offering an ultra-romantic setting for your birthday, anniversary, special occasion, or extravagant night out. The four-course menu is altered weekly and features local, organic, sustainable and premium ingredients. In addition to the consistent quality of food and service, Café Monarch continuously evolves the menu, dining room, and service standards. All with the objective of maintaining a vibrant and beloved guest experience. All servers are trained through the Court of Master Sommeliers program, all having extensive food and wine knowledge.
Cafe Monarch was voted the number 1 Romantic Restaurant in America by someone. It really is very romantic, whatever the rating. But I go for the Experience of Fine Dining, and the evening was just that. They serve only four course fixed price dinners, with options for each course. The four of us had different choices, and without exception, truly enjoyed all the courses. Our waiter was most attentive, and his wait staff was very considerate of us when they served each course. The prices are not cheap, but you pay for the total dining experience, and for all that you get, the price is quite fair.
We go to Scottsdale every year, and will definitely come back again.

We had dinner at Elements and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We had a lovely private table for two with a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains. Our enjoyment of the atmosphere was only eclipsed by the exceptional cuisine and service. The menu was creative with a slight Asian flair. The portions were surprisingly ample as well. I would highly recommend Elements for a romantic dinner.

WOW!!! Now this is what I call a great breakfast restaurant! Extensive menu of tasty breakfast selections from eggs, pancakes, waffles, French toast, and omelettes. Salads, soups, and sandwiches for lunch too. Quick and efficient service. Lots of complimentary convenient off street parking. This restaurant is very popular and can be busy at certain times, so plan accordingly. Highly recommended!

Authentic Italian Cusine straight from Florence Italy! Franco had been in the valley for almost 30 years, don't miss out! Reservations only!!
Delicious, delicious, delicious!!! From pasta to veal to fish to chicken to steak. How do describe perfection in every area except to say EVERYTHING is done with perfection at this very Italian restuarant. Franco has been around a long time and so has the chef he has been working with for years and you just don’t find real Italian much anymore. If you love Olive Garden then this restuarant is way out of your league!!

As east coasters we needed real Maine lobster. We were not disappointed. We had lobster bisque to start, it had huge chunks of lobster and the broth was thick and rich. Delicious!! The lobster roll was full of lobster meat with minimal celery, tarragon and mayo. The roll was buttery and perfect. Great lunch.

Hey, break away from Old Town and get over to Main Street in Scottsdale for this great place. We stumbled on to this place because we had dinner next door at the Old Town Tortilla Factory (a separate review). This place has a great craft beer and wine selection, including several beers made by Craft 64. The pizza is wood fire oven baked and delicious. In season the place is open-air with a small patio out back. The service was exceptional. Just the right amount and friendly. I'm so glad we found this place. When I'm back in the Phoenix area I will be going back here for sure.

I came here to celebrate my anniversary. We started off with cocktail while looking over the menu. We started off with 3 Colossal Shrimp Cocktail and 1/2 Oysters. Entrees were the New Bedford Sea Scallop (lemon butter, sea salt, chardonnay) and 16 oz. NY Strip. We ended the evening with an Anniversary Chocolate Dessert.
Evening was perfect! Atmosphere, Food and Service! Thank you!

Lovely diner short drive from our hotel. Staff are so friendly and attentive and the menu has plenty to choose from , from healthy to not so healthy. I had gluten free pancakes which were delicious .... great coffee and service from our waitress. The diner is well laid out with tables a good distance from each other and it was spotlessly clean ... would totally recommend, you won’t be disappointed.
