    Met some friends for dinner. We enjoyed a cocktail at the Bar before we were seated. The service was excellent. Once seated our server Evan was amazing. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and was attentive. The food was really great. I had the Shortrib with a side of Polenta. Absolutely delicious. They had an extensive Wine list with some of our favorite Italian wines. We're definitely returning and requesting him as our server.

    We were impressed with the wonderful service from start to finish of our delicious meal. According to our son, who is a fan of fresh fish- “The fish was cooked to perfection and is the best seafood I’ve had in Arizona”. My husband and I shared the wedge salad, 22 oz 45 day aged prime rib & we indulged in the family style sides: sautéed mushrooms, creme brûlée corn, stuffed hash browns & Mac n cheese. We had a lot of food for the 3 of us , and no regrets. We shared a bite of the key lime pie at the restaurant- which in our opinion beats the many key lime pies we have tried in Florida. We took home a coconut cream pie- it was incredible. We now have to get back on our diets after enjoying this feast. What a great experience. We would highly recommend Oceans 44.

    We had the most wonderful dinner ever at Fugo in Scottsdale. The General Manager Mimi, has made our dining experience & this restaurant into a gem. Because of her dedication & professionalism, she has the staff delivering such fabulous service that anyone dining here would want to return as we do. The other staff I would like to mention is Rachael who helps her manage the restaurant & both work together making everything such a wonderful place to dine. The best Gaucho server is Guzman, who brings our filet mignon & other meats made to our perfection & was just fabulous. He also had every meat we wanted. I highly recommend this place for the best dining experience anyone could ask for. We will continue to return & recommend this restaurant because of Mimi & Rachael & Guzman & so many other staff members that deliver dedication & excellent dining experiences.
