Restaurants near Desert Botanical Garden

From the hostess to our server, the service at Gertrude’s was phenomenal. We went for brunch to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and we were pleasantly surprised with a lovely birthday card from the staff and dessert. It was an appreciated touch that my husband was excited to put the card on the fridge, including the envelope which one of the staff members personally drew a special design on. The food was also delicious. I highly recommend the hot mess breakfast - the sauce was immaculate! If you’re making at stop at the garden, definitely add Gertrude’s to your food stop.

Look I never leave reviews or read reviews but I’m going to about this experience I’ve frequented Steak 44 multiple times and heard about Ocean 44 had to try it. 1st Staff amazing friendly attentive very helpful and just overall pleasant to be around. 2nd Ambience was great very elegant formal fine dining 3rd coming from a culinary background and has held titles such as sous,executive,and senior executive positions they didn’t not disappoint my only complaint which I really am not complaining my Spanish octopus wasn’t plated like the pictures I saw but the flavor would shut me up immediately … Well done to the Chefs and line cooks amazing job kitchen staff don’t get the appreciation they deserve all the time and you guys were amazing!!! 4th Our server Rian he was great very knowledgeable about the menu and his thoughts and opinions on dishes matched exactly so I definitely will be back and I hope to have the pleasure to have his service again great job guys

We had a great time. I had a small issue with my food. Both my server and the manager corrected my situation with ease. I appreciate the effort and customer service. Its rare these days and I will support Elephante simply because I know I will leave with the best experience. We overall enjoyed the ambiance. The menu is good. If I had one recommendation for improvement… they have many things that many Scottsdale restaurants already offer for less money… and on the same class of restaurant as Elephante. Seems like this could be a weak point personally. However, I think the restaurant is beautiful, and look forward to coming back and enjoying another great experience! Thanks for reading

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.
