- SSuevipPhoenix / Arizona •204 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe enjoyed an excellent dinner at Ocean 44 celebrating my husband's birthday. Our waiter had recently moved from one of their Houston restaurants and he provided outstanding service. We were seated in the area with the glass partitions which is fairly quiet and less hectic than some parts of the restaurant which made the dining experience even better. Ocean 44 is a nice choice for a special occasion.More infoOcean 44Price: Moderate• undefined• Central Scottsdale•4.9
- MKMichelleKLas Vegas •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoEverything was wonderful. The only concern I had was that we were charged half price for my one year old granddaughters meal, which we were told in advance. However, the food was amazing, but definitely not right for a toddler. She only took a bite of one of the pancake tacos. She did have a few more items that I think she might have tried later, but were weren’t allowed to take anything home from her plate. Again, that was told to us beforehand. It was amazing, however next time we won’t bring the one year old. Other than that, the experience could not be beat.More infoSumoMaya Mexican-Asian KitchenPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Central Scottsdale•4.7
