North Scottsdale Dinner

Southwest Phoenix Arizona Scottsdale Dinner

Hi,

I will be visiting my parents over memorial day. They live in North Scottsdale near Via Linda and Frank Lloyd Wright. It is my birthday, so they asked me to choose a place but it can't be too far and can't be solely Asian.

Since that is a very subjective statement, to give you an idea on distance, we have been to Maestro's, Eddie V's and Zinc in Kierland, Twisted Grove near McCormick Ranch, most of the restaurants at The Hyatt at Gainey Ranch, and they go over to Fountain Hills a lot.

Essentially, old town is not an option and Cave Creek is too far. Is there anything interesting you would recommend for a birthday dinner?

In regards to price point, I don't want to kill them on the dinner. Obviously some of the restaurants above are not cheap, but I looked at Bourbon Steak at The Princess and that is too expensive.

My other thoughts were The Herb Box in DC Ranch, Toro at The Princess, Inde Fusion(even though it has a heavy Asian influence), & The Greene House.

Thanks in advance for your help.

    I just came to the site to write a review for the restaurant at the Royal Palms Hotel, T Cooks. It is not in North Scottsdale but look at the menu and distance. If you want something more casual and closer, consider the restaurant at Tommy Bahama on Camelback Road.

      Thanks, we have been to T.Cooks and we loved it but that is too far. We have also been to Tommy Bahamas, but the one up in Kierland. I was surprised at how good our lunch was.

      My mom has a reservation at Drexyl, but I am not sure if that is more style over substance.

      I am also meeting up with a friend in Old Town, but we can't eat until 2. I have a reservation at SumoMaya. This lunch is open to all price points and cuisine. If anything, my friend prefers more Asian influenced food, hence SumoMaya. We have both been to The Mission and FnB closes at 2, so those are out. Should I keep this reservation or is there some place else I should check out?

      Thanks again for any help.
