"We have eaten at Roka Scottsdale for seven years. Without exception, last night’s dinner was the best ever. The sushi was exceptional. The craft cocktails were exceptional. The grilled lamb chops were exceptional. The crispy eggplant and Yukon Gold mashed potatoes were exceptional. The service was exceptional. Scottsdale/Phoenix is lucky to have such a fine culinary team in the valley. Bravo!"

"First time there. Server was good and appetizer was promptly delivered. However, there was a large party outside and clearly all other food service was delayed as a result. We waited nearly an hour for our two entrées to be served, and I was not pleased. They did offer a free dessert and took some of the tab off of the total cost as a result, very disappointing because I really was looking forward to my experience at roaring Fork management should’ve done a much better job to ensure that the food delay was not only avoided to some level but at least communicated better. Server was very apologetic but manager never did come to speak with me in person or apologize."

Pizzeria Virtu

"This was our first visit here. We are fans of Virtu, so we had high hopes for this place. We also were former patrons of Grazzie, so we appreciated someone taking over the space, and hoped it souls restore some of what Grazzie once was in it's earlier years. We were not disappointed in any way. We had an appropriately spaced outdoor table, and the cleaned up patio was lovely the interior looks much better, too. The pizzas were excellent and creative. I especially want to note the crust, as it is exceptional in texture and taste. We shared a kale salad which was great, and the wine selections, although limited, offered a sufficient variety of Italian offerings that should satisfy any diner. We will make this one of our regular restaurants"

Gyro 101

"This place is tucked between a drive-thru liquor store and a narrow alleyway. It was my first visit and I got the chicken shawarma sandwich, though I considered the Philly gyro and thought about buying one of each dessert, including a good variety of baklava. The shawarma was different than what you find at the standard Greek restaurant, and I am always intriguedby something new. I will be back to buy one of everything."
