Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Arcadia

Everything about our service was impeccable! Came here with our family for my husband's birthday. Everything about this dinner was a true experience! Waiter was friendly and engaging, food incredibly delicious and cooked to perfection, drinks were generous, ambiance was incredible. Highly recommend the seafood tower and Wagyu A5! This is definitely our favorite spot for special occasions.

My wife has been wanting to try for some time so we booked with our BIL & SIL for Valentine's Day. We got there about 35 min early to enjoy a drink prior to dinner but they had one bartender, one, on a Friday on Valentine's Day. We waited in line for 15 minutes and didn't end up getting a drink because our table was ready a bit early. I wasn't very pleased but the hostess just sort of shrugged it off when I mentioned it. Other than that one hiccup, we had a great experience. Our server was friendly and patient with us as we ordered a round of drinks and chatted a bit before ordering because we didn't get to prior to dinner. Our table ordered the two orders of Chicken Sausage Pasta, Beef Tenderloin and a Ribeye along with a couple shareable sides. Every person in our group had nothing but positive things to say about their food. The atmosphere was a nice quiet environment with great views of Camelback and the sunset. We felt that the prices were alright. $77 for a Ribeye and $66 for an 8oz tenderloin seems a bit high but overall we were ok with the total. I think it's somewhere that we would definitely return to though.

We had a wonderful meal on a Thursday evening. Just two of us. It was bustling as they have a solid happy hour daily 3:30-6:30. Started with beef tartare and octopus. Loved the endive vessel for the tartare instead of typical bread. Next course, gigli pasta - so simple yet full of flavor. I enjoyed the portion size for two people (smallish), allowing us to try a number of dishes. We are not big eaters but enjoy a variety. Lastly, as an entree we shared the branzino. Perfectly prepared, filleted, no head, no bones. The sauce was a compliment but did not take away the taste of the fish. Highly recommended! Service was spectacular too.

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.

Great fresh food with an interesting menu. Love the guacamole that is made fresh at your table. It’s spendy but on par with most restaurant prices in the area. Friendly staff.
