- JJonathanvipAtlanta Metro •48 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoNobu Scottsdale lives up to the Nobu standard. Outstanding and artistic sushi, sashimi and creative cuisine. Our server was very helpful in designing an array of courses, both hot and cold, that were enjoyed by everyone. Price point was high, as always at Nobu, but worth it.More infoNobu ScottsdalePrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Old Town Scottsdale•4.7
- LLeilaPhoenix / Arizona •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoPricey but well worth it. Food is excellent, service is excellent, and they pay attention to the little details. My family went here for my sister’s birthday. They had a birthday card for her and gave her a complimentary dessert of her choosing with a happy birthday message written in chocolate and a candle. They called the next day to ask us how our meal was. The east coast oysters were fantastic - so fresh - and the assortment of sauces were delicious. The scallops were tasty and grilled to perfection. The sorbets were generous, tasty and satisfying. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a quality meal with fantastic food, service, and ambience.More infoOcean 44Price: Moderate• undefined• Central Scottsdale•4.9

- FDFineDinervipPhoenix / Arizona •8 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoGreat lunch! Our server was so good and so pleasant! Food was excellent, great portion and the fact that they were willing to make modifications to our menu items was a bonus. The only negative for me was the full lunch menu wasn’t being served. I guess because it was Labor Day they offered a combination of lunch/brunch items. It’s a little on the pricey side but food and service are great!More infoMoxies - ScottsdalePrice: Moderate• American• Old Town Scottsdale•4.6
