Best French Restaurants in Desert Ridge

We had the best experience here for our anniversary date night. From the hostess greeting us upon arrival ,the ambiance was amazing. The vibes/background music was top notch. Our server Taylor was the best. She was charismatic and explained everything very well and was very engaging. This was one of the best customer services I've received in a long time. The food was delicious as so was the dessert. I would definitely recommend this place for your next date night if you're in the mood for Southern France inspired cuisine. They also have a bar area where you can also just sit and hang out while having a drink.

We love visiting Local Bistro when we are in Scottsdale. The bolognese was superb! Always a favorite of ours. Pork chop was delicious and chicken parm was lights out!! Service was on point! Thank you for a lovely evening with family and friends!

It was parents night out and chose a new to us spot. Zinc, upon arriving it was lively and the hostess were nice. We had a reservation, which we were on time for and sat shortly after. Once sat we received water and bread promptly but then got lost for a little. It was very busy and as soon as we were noticed by Ann we were in great hands. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care over even taking care of our first round and some appetizers. The food was very good. I recommend the bone marrow, diver scallops and steak tartare. If you’re looking for a cute french spot for date night check this place out. 

We had dined here 2 or 3 years ago and it was good. Now it is OUTSTANDING! Between 4 of us we had 8 small pates. The special duck salad of the day was so good. The focaccia unique dips, , the mushrooms had a fabulous earthy flavor to them. The crab stack creative and the dressing on the cherry tomatoes in the stack was very good. Duck fat roasted potatoes and Beef tartare were very tasty. It's hard to compare everything to what you already have tasted, so our last 2 items were our least favorite, but perhaps we were full by then? the Ribs & flatbread . Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the food and maybe a bit too explanatory about the wine. ( But better too much info than too little.) It's interesting that we had such a wonderful evening because our first impression was very negative. I had requested indoor seating on the app. When we arrived, the hostess tired to push us onto a patio table (it was cold out, even with heaters). When I said 'no, we requested inside' she made a big huff, took us to our table (3others available inside too) and dropped (threw) our menus down. Not a word about 'enjoy your meal or anything, no eye contact or smile. . She is not doing this place any favors being the first encounter your guests get.

Such a lovely restaurant, so glad that I found it! I’m in Scottsdale visiting a friend and I was telling her how much how I dining in Europe. She had a heard about Pinard and we decided to give it a try. It was fantastic! It was beautiful inside with great music and a great atmosphere. The service was speedy and I absolutely loved the food! My friend and I got a Cosmopolitan and a Hugo Spritz. We got a European cheese platter and both ordered the beef bourguignon. It was so flavorful and was honestly better than some of the times I had it in France. Overall I had a great time and would return often if I lived in the area!
