- JJeffTampa / Central Florida West •6 reviews5.0Dined todayKeeler’s is a wonderful place to dine. If you haven’t been yet, give it a try. The menu offers a nice assortment of items including several different (and delicious) cuts of beef, some excellent seafood options, and a host of options. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is what you would expect from a longstanding western steakhouse.More infoKeeler's Neighborhood SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Carefree•4.7
- BBobbyePhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined todayThe service was great and the food was yummy. They have a GF menu. If you order the BBQ salmon, get the BBQ sauce on the side. :) Don't forget dessert! They make homemade almond milk ice cream if you are dairy free. Yay!More infoTonto Bar & Grill (Lunch reservations not required, excluding holidays)Price: Moderate• American• Cave Creek•4.8
- LlindseyDenver / Colorado •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThis is one of the loveliest and most elegant -- yet hip restaurants we go to when we visit Scottsdale. We had a wonderful server and the manager stopped by during our meal to say hello. The bar is beautiful and we sat at a high top table for 4.The steak was prepared perfectly to our request. It was delicious and served on the wicked hot plates was amazing. It is expensive but well worth it when taking time to enjoy a bit of luxury! We'll be back!!!!!More infoDominick's SteakhousePrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Scottsdale Quarter/Kierland Commons•4.9

- CCoreyVIPPhoenix / Arizona •10 reviews4.0Dined on Jan 2, 2025The wait staff, (including even the busboy!) was some of the best service Ive seen at a restaurant up in Cave Creek/Carefree. Place is always one of our favorites because of the unique menu items but also because it feels like you are in a very family oriented environment. From the bus boy to the bartender to the server, you are very well taken care of. The cheesy garlic bread was a bit bland this time, the mozz sticks are nothing special, but the sauce and the Pizzacata pizza and the Amatriciana more than made up for it.More infoPizzicataPrice: Moderate• Pizzeria• Carefree•4.7
