Arcadia Restaurants

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.

Valentine's Day dinner. Incredible chef Julio pulled out all the stops. Special items on the menu tonight, lobster ravioli, special salad, and a wonderful tartufo like ice cream dessert! He is amazing how creative he is with the food pairings, the wonderful sourced ingredients, the incredible attention to detail and presentati Tash is our absolutely favorite top restaurant in Scottsdale! Beautiful room, ambience, very well staffed, very well executed in all aspects! The dining experience is over the top! Chef Julio, the BEST! Thanks again, and aloha from Nick and Lin!

Excellent food, fantastic service, beautiful ambience… ONLY complaint is that the servings sizes were SO SMALL that my husband and I had to order two entrees plus an app to have enough to eat. (And we don’t eat a lot, we’re not large people) Our server actually recommended that we did and we’re happy we ordered more. So because of the multiple entrees plus an app the bill was naturally higher than it could have been so I don’t believe the value was great.

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

It’s all in the details! Chef Joey does everything he does well and with style. The decor is on point, keep and eye on the murals - it’s fascinating. Everything we ate and drank was very good, if not great. Great wine list selection, I got the special - gnocchi and mushrooms - and too was excellent. This is definitely one we will return to when we are in town!
