    The staff was very nice and connected with us. Food was very good. I had a steak, and my wife had a tenderloin both of them cooked exactly as ordered. The potato side dish seem to be a layered scalloped potato. It was quite excellent. It was our anniversary and they gave us an outstanding mini dessert to share for our anniversary. It was beautifully displayed and fantastic.

    A really wonderful experience. We started with the squash blossom appetizer. Would have preferred the dish not be deep-fried, But it was delicious. Forour main course we had the tagliatelle pasta, and it was superb.  Our server was also a delight. Will definitely return.

    Great food, great service, great ambiance. The only issue we encountered was an annoying couple next to us engaging in way too much PDA action. My 15-year old certainly could have done without it. Everything else was perfect including some of the best craft cocktails we’ve ever had. Highly recommend the Lavender Lady

    I've loved this place for years. Came here for my birthday celebration and it was wonderful. These days it's so hard to find a place that doesn't cut corners, but this is it. Amazing food, great service, and they cared so much about making sure we had a great time. HIGHLY recommend and I hope to be back soon. Thanks to all of you for (as always) being some of the best around. The little touches matter, and you're so great at them!

    We have been dining at T.Cooks for 20 years. We noticed the change last time we were visiting five years ago but last nights dinner was a total disappointment on every level. The food quality was terrible. The service was fair and the ambience was nothing like it used to be. We dined outside and they had the lights way too bright for an intimate dinner. As if that wasn’t enough, they brought a stale piece of chocolate cake for dessert! We are making these comments in the hopes that it will constructively encourage them to improve. T. cooks used to be our favorite restaurant and we would look forward to coming to Scottsdale specifically to dine there.
