    O was a great server. Very friendly, attentive and did her check backs to see if we needed anything or if we were satisfied with our meal. Food was well prepared and did not require additional seasoning. I will be back for more the next time I visit Scottsdale.

    We celebrated our anniversary dinner last night at Ember and honestly …. each time we dine here it just gets better. Our dining experience was excellent and the food was great as always. Our steaks (Fillet Mignon and NY) were cooked perfectly and sides were exceptional. Ember is our go-to when we dine and entertain our friends/clients close to home. My wife and I absolutely love dining here!

    We had a wonderful experience at Cielo! The food was top-notch, delicious, and came out with impeccable timing. We started with the delicious burrata , brussels sprouts and their fresh house made bread. There were four of us in the party, and we each had a different entrée. Everything was cooked perfectly, the braised short ribs, the pork chop, the salmon, and the steak. The waitstaff was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. And, the restaurant and its location are incomparable! We sat on the patio, shielded from the elements yet with breathtaking, unobstructed views! Highly recommend!
