Restaurants near Camelback Walk

We arrived early for our reservation and while we were waiting we found 2 seats at the bar. Since it was comfortable and the same menu was available we decided to eat at the bar. Good choice as Joe was our bartender and was very attentive. We started with the mussels and then I had Gnocchi, which was excellent and my wife had Gigli, also very good. We finished with Tiramisu, which was killer good. Overall a very enjoyable Christmas Day dinner.

Another successful dining experience at the Italiano. We opted for the Festival of the Fishes which was a special 5 course meal. Loaded with seafood, and other dishes..the only dish you pick is the entree. I ordered the Swordfish even to the server said it wasn’t her favorite, but out of the other 3 choices it sounded good. The description didn’t match what I received tho.. It looked like 3 rolled up breadsticks. The actual swordfish was very thin and wrapped around some ground Saleme…it didn’t look appealing at all. Would not suggest or tbe menu needs to be more clear. Everything else was very good, except the weird sticky cookie type crackers they served with the Rainbow cake for dessert.

Mahi Mahi tacos were absolutely delicious, probably our favorite of the night. We also really enjoyed the eggplant, steak, happy ending sushi roll, guacamole, Margherita's, Mojito and for dessert we had the sticky toffee cake, so much yumminess in one night we practically had to be rolled out of there!

We celebrated my husband’s birthday on Christmas Eve. Everything was wonderful. We had the branzino fish. It was prepared exceptional. Our waitress was very efficient and endearing. The last thing I would mention is the noise level. So many restaurants in Scottsdale play very loud music which brings up the level of sound to make it unable to talk to someone sitting right next to you. Ocean 44 was perfect. We could slightly hear the music but enjoyed talking to each other

The Food was delicious, a bit better than expected. The service was Great and constant. Only one small hiccup but nothing worth mentioning. The ambiance was nice and we actually interacted with a few neighboring tables. Of course I would suggest, as I always do, removing one table from each dinning room to allow for easier access to seating as well as better conditions for staff. Overall my family and myself had a wonderful experience at Dominic's and shall return..
