Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Desert Ridge

We went for a Christmas celebration date night and we were not disappointed- we were seated right away in a romantic location with prompt and almost frightening friendly service. I did get a cocktail that was totally disgusting, but that was probably my fault for going out on a limb- everything else was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were perfect. We will make going here a holiday tradition!

We had a great visit! This was a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve with great drinks, delicious food, and amazing live entertainment!

We love Tommy Bahama but our sweet and super attentive server, Macie made our Christmas Eve family dinner super special! The food is always delicious-the portions got a little smaller, but same amazing quality. So the reason for this review is mainly Macie went above and beyond to be super sweet and informative. In all the years of eating at TB and loving the Pina Colada cake, we never knew it came in 2 sizes. She was awesome to share that with us, as the large is so big for most people. Can't wait to go back and ask for Macie as our server.

First time eating at Marinos and we’ll definitely be back. Everything we ordered was delicious and portions were generous. Our group shared two salads the Cesar and wedge. The entrées were chicken Alfredo, vodka chicken Parmesan, short ribs served on polenta (which were outstanding), and meat pizza. The crust was more like a hand tossed. The place has a cool vibe and great outdoor eating area. The bar is cool.

Amazing is all I can say. Zinc is authentic French food and is spectacular. The ambience is soothing and welcoming. My wife and I are frequent visitors to France and love French cuisine. Zinc is the real deal. This was our first visit but certainly not our last. We started with the carrot starter which was beautiful and it only got better from there. My wife had the Provencal Bouillabaisse and I had the Scallops. Both dishes were 5 star worthy. Chef created an amazing taste with both dishes. The service is worthy of 5 stars. Just the right amount of touch points and knowledge. Zinc Bistro is now on our favorite Scottsdale/Phoenix restaurant list. I highly recommend Zinc. You won’t be disappointed. One item missing is the chocolate mousse authentic to France. See photo.
