    We have been to Culinary Dropout before but not to this location. Traffic very busy around here as the Scottsdale Fashion mall right across the street. Service was excellent, food was as well. Of course all restaurant meals are too expensive these days but it was reasonable and portions were good. Would definitely return.

    Food was great and ambiance wonderful. Need to slow down and not rush courses so much and don't ask to take plates away when one person is still eating. Young staff not so well trained, but overall an excellent restaurant.

    Excellent, from start to finish, wonderful experience. A culinary delight. On arrival Caleb greeted us, escorted us to our table, He was very personable, friendly and professional. We had a lovely waitress, Kristin , she was ever so helpful with our selections. Starting off with a delectable starter for first timers. Delivered by the GM Heather, she also took time to check back with us. Making sure everything was to our satisfaction. It’s obvious the CHEF takes great satisfaction in the food at this restaurant. And he delivers, everything was delicious, beyond my expectations. I will definitely return. Thank you Rusconi’s

    The restaurant was FREEZING! When I arrived I asked if happy hour was only at the bar. The host told us happy hour was in the whole restaurant and brought us a happy hour menu to our table but then our server said it’s only in the bar. She was going to check with the manager, but then never said anything so I figured they would honor it. When I got the bill everything from the happy hour menu was full price. I would’ve sat at the bar had I known they wouldn’t honor it. Food was all right, but nothing special. The only thing I highly recommend is the hummus.
