Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Laveen

Amazing Valentines Day Dinner. Got there early to explore and enjoy the views. Had two rounds of drinks at the wine bar and then got the most amazing table with views for dinner. 4 course menu delicious and the somm helped us get an awesome bottle of Chianti.

Excellent experience every time i come. food is delicious and cooked to perfection. service was attentive and friendly. a little loud but i was sitting outside, nothing that the restaurant can control. beautiful ambiance otherwise. loved the valentine’s day menu. coffee cake was incredible. overall great experience, no notes.

This restaurant is a real gym! They have a beautiful patio with lots of flowers, umbrellas, and space heaters for the chilly nights. We ate indoors in the adobe main building because of the morning rain storm that passed through earlier. It reminded me of many of the buildings in New Mexico, where I’m from. The furnishings and artwork inside were gorgeous. We ordered off the brunch menu and found some very creative selections. The service was outstanding and we are planning to return in about three weeks. :-)

Another 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.

Great fresh food with an interesting menu. Love the guacamole that is made fresh at your table. It’s spendy but on par with most restaurant prices in the area. Friendly staff.
