First things first - staff is all impeccable. The attention to detail and availability for any questions or concerns is 10/10. That makes a huge difference to any dining experience. The food itself was very good too. I did find the Gigli a little undercooked but it was taken care of and we didn’t leave disappointed. The mussels were very tasty and actually pretty filling. The burrata was also very good. I especially liked the chocolate moose and coffee at the end which worked really well together. Miles was taking care of us and he is 20/10 in every respect. Made us feel so welcomed and at home. Cameron helped us a few times and we got talking to him - very good guy who is friendly and clearly enjoys his job. All in all, very happy and we look forward to visiting again soon.
We had an incredible dinner at the Fat Ox. Everything we tried was exceptional. Friendly service. Very knowledgeable about the menu. So many things can be made gluten free.
The homemade focaccia bread comes with a whipped ricotta cheese that is divine. I couldn't have the bread (since I'm GF) but I asked for my own cheese and ate it all. The GF pasta dish was good, the pasta cooked perfectly, though it's not the best pasta brand I've tried. Sauce was excellent though. Both secondi entrees were delicious and full of flavor. Wonderful ambience in a cozy setting. Highly recommend.
It was an average experience. The service honestly wasn't the best and we were barely checked on during our time here. The presentation of the food is immaculate but some of the dishes were missing something flavor wise. The cauliflower and mussels were great but the octopus was chewy and overcooked. The pastas were ok. Obviously come here and make your own judgement. It's definitely a hotspot around town and it looks the part so for sure stop in. Don't forget to make a reservation!
Fantastic meal! Absolutely will be coming back. Get the tableside Caesar salad because it was honestly the best that we've ever had. The Brick Chicken is also amazing. It's like a deconstructed chicken taco that you put together, and wow, the sauce and chicken with tortilla and arugula is absolutely amazing. As Rocky says in Project Hail Mary, it was "amaze amaze amaze!" The polenta comes with the meal as a side, and absolutely cheesy and cooked to perfection. Can you tell that I thoroughly enjoyed my meal?
Service was also excellent. Our server was patient and really talked about the dishes with passion. Hands up a fantastic foodie experience.
Must-visit in Scottsdale! Food is unique and absolutely delicious. Cocktails are well made. Focaccia bread is one of the best I have had so far.
Our overall experience was enhanced by our server Kellan. He was so delightful throughout.. helped us with the menu choices, had a nice chit chat and made us feel so comfortable. Sorbet touch for
our anniversary celebration 🎉 was very special.
