"Cafe Monarch is a beautiful gem. From the second you walk through the front door you are treated as a special welcome guest. The service throughout the evening was wonderful, not a false note. It is an incredibly romantic setting, with soft candlelight, beautiful table settings, and lovely music. Diners have the option of a four course prix fixe menu or an elaborate eight course menu. There is a very extensive wine menu and also champagne and caviar options. The meal starts with a complimentary glass of Prosecco and then a lovely amuse-bouche. We opted for the four course meal, which is three starters and then the main course. There were two options for each starter and several meat fish options for the main. My husband has shell fish issues and they adjusted items accordingly. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. All of this comes at a pretty steep price but it was well worth it. I know that for us this is a new go to for special occasions!"

"six of us sang on 1/12 in pizzeria virtu. we sat outside and had a nice evening! the burrata was excellent and highly recommended. we tried a lot of pizzas that were all perfectly prepared. the diamanté, milano and bologna were enjoyed by all. Actually, they can't go wrong with one of the pizzas. the wine list is believed with many interesting weeps by the glass to add the menu. the budino and the tiramisu were delicious and the perfect end of our meal. last but certainly not least, shelby was phenomenal and so very helpful and patient with our party. she went beyond and beyond to make sure that our culinary experience was a. highly recommended that they taste this restaurant when they get the chance!"

"I had been wanting to dine here for a while, but finding a table was quite a challenge. The only available slots were either for an early dinner at 5-6 PM or late at 10 PM. If you plan to visit on a Friday or Saturday night, I highly recommend making reservations weeks in advance. The menu offers a unique selection that stands out from typical options, featuring dry-aged steaks, seafood, a raw bar, a variety of appetizers, and an impressive drink menu. The service is friendly and exceptional. Their drinks are top-notch, with a well-curated wine list and creative signature cocktails. The atmosphere is stunning, adorned with beautiful furnishings, cozy fireplaces, and a transparent kitchen. It’s an ideal setting for romantic outings. Prices are on par with other high-end restaurants in Scottsdale, so be prepared to spend a bit more. Overall, I would rank this restaurant among the top three dining experiences in Scottsdale. It truly offers an unforgettable experience with outstanding food."

"I love Berdenas, it was the first place in the valley I have ever visited for special coffee and still has a very special place in my heart. The atmosphere is cozy and quiet, the baristas are always super friendly and welcoming, and of course the coffee is also incredible! I love the cardamom pink. I'm telling everyone I can also get from their Avo toast because it's really the best! Totally obsessed with this charming coffee shop."
