Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Carefree

We were seated for our Valentine’s Day dinner five minutes early even though this was probably the restaurant’s busiest date of the year. Our waiter, Mike, is a veteran and a pro. He was very helpful, wasn’t full of himself and his knowledge and understanding of the menu as well as the type of dining experience most of his customers expect from such a we’ll know establishment, was impressive. There was nothing we asked him for which he wouldn’t have moved heaven and earth, to get for us. We had the sea bass and 8 oz. Filet as our main courses. The cut of the filet was prime and it tasted like it. It was a perfect medium rare. The sea bass was also moist and wonderful. What a great surprise this dining experience turned out to be. This was the best meal we had over our three previous nights in the Phoenix valley. Thanks Mastro’s.

We have been to all Mastros across the US (from Chicago to LA) But have found nobody treats us better with consistent VIP service and quality than this Scottsdale location. Mike Skubisz is the Manager we count on to deliver professional, consistent service, Top Grade AAA Wagyu style! We are treated like VIPs every time. Service , food quality and staff consistently deliver perfection every visit. All his staff have remained consistent since we've been going (for decades) because of their respect for his professional management style. Tim, Lindsay, Nick, shotout to everyone there who treat us so well. Thank you for last night! Can't wait to return! Steve, Eddie, rose, rob , Anita Marshall

Another wonderful dinner at Olive & Ivy! We ordered the crispy brussels sprouts as and appetizer and it was an excellent start. We also split a beet salad, and it didn’t disappoint for those who love beets. My wife then ordered the chicken scallopini and she loved it. I dined on the filet and it was cooked perfectly. The sauce was delicious and the scalloped potatoes which accompanied the steak made it a totally enjoyable meal. Service was again outstanding. Certainly will be going back during our stay in the Scottsdale area.

Possibly the most impressive dining experience my wife and I have ever had. They made our one year anniversary truly special. From the ambience of the restaurant itself and the amazing spectacle of the roof opening, and the gorgeous pool on the top floor. The food was the star of the show as it made you feel like you were on cloud nine with every bite. The steaks were cooked perfectly and every side ordered was delicious. Josh, our server, was the most attentive and caring server we have ever had! What an amazing experience!

Great fresh food with an interesting menu. Love the guacamole that is made fresh at your table. It’s spendy but on par with most restaurant prices in the area. Friendly staff.
