Best restaurants near me in Paradise Valley, AZ

From the moment we arrived, everyone welcomed us in! The food was phenomenal, and the staff were like a well oiled machine. Everyone helped everyone, and we were never left wondering where someone was. Our waiter, Patrick, was nothing short of spectacular. He gave menu recommendations, talked with us throughout the evening, and made us feel like we were his only table, even though we saw he had others. We took the recommendations from others to reserve a private booth in the back, and I highly recommend this, not only for the privacy and quiet, but even more so because the view of the kitchen made our evening! This restaurant is one of the best we have ever been to, and we will definitely be back again!! A must try for anyone who has never been!

Waitress and wait staff were wonderful. The hostesses could be a lot more welcoming. No smiles and never greeted. They seemed overwhelmed and avoided eye contact. Food was outstanding! It was truly a culinary experience and that made up for where the front end fell short.

We arrived early for our reservation and while we were waiting we found 2 seats at the bar. Since it was comfortable and the same menu was available we decided to eat at the bar. Good choice as Joe was our bartender and was very attentive. We started with the mussels and then I had Gnocchi, which was excellent and my wife had Gigli, also very good. We finished with Tiramisu, which was killer good. Overall a very enjoyable Christmas Day dinner.

Mahi Mahi tacos were absolutely delicious, probably our favorite of the night. We also really enjoyed the eggplant, steak, happy ending sushi roll, guacamole, Margherita's, Mojito and for dessert we had the sticky toffee cake, so much yumminess in one night we practically had to be rolled out of there!

We celebrated my husband’s birthday on Christmas Eve. Everything was wonderful. We had the branzino fish. It was prepared exceptional. Our waitress was very efficient and endearing. The last thing I would mention is the noise level. So many restaurants in Scottsdale play very loud music which brings up the level of sound to make it unable to talk to someone sitting right next to you. Ocean 44 was perfect. We could slightly hear the music but enjoyed talking to each other
