- FFranciscoPhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoLook 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 guysMore infoOcean 44Price: Moderate• Unspecified• Central Scottsdale•4.9
- TTimPhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoExcellent 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.More infoCala ScottsdalePrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Central Scottsdale•4.3
- GGavinLas Vegas •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe 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!

- GGuyIdaho •12 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoAnother 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.More infoOlive & Ivy Restaurant & MarketplacePrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Old Town Scottsdale•4.7
