Restaurants

Eggstasy is now open at Market Street at DC Ranch, giving North Scottsdalites a reason to skip the snooze button. 

Who doesn’t want to get off of work after a long day and head out for drinks and apps at a hot spot that looks plucked from a boardwalk? That feeling is a reality with the opening of Arcadia’s new High Dive.

Postino has long been a favorite for kicking back with a board of bruschetta and a bottle of red. And now the restaurant is offering up a slew of new “snacky things” options to its beloved menu; basically, they are small, shareable plates that can make a meal by themselves or enjoyed before a salad or sandwich.

At the start of our meal at the newly opened Parma Italian Roots, Executive Chef Chris Gentile warns, “There’s going to be a lot of carbs.” Sweeter words have never been spoken. 

The super-laidback spot for sipping and savoring, Rott n’ Grapes, has opened its second location: Rott n’ Grapes RoRo in Downtown Phoenix. 

After a busy summer break, La Hacienda has opened its doors at Fairmont Scottsdale Princess with a fresh look, a major patio upgrade, the addition of a sleek tequila lounge and new lineups of authentic Mexican eats and creative cocktails.

There are meals. You know, those things you do three times a day to intake food for survival. Then there are meals that happen every once in a while where you can truly taste the time and creativity that when into each dish, and you simply don’t want it to end. Such an event happened during a recent dinner at Lincoln at JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn. 

Tempe has welcomed a new neighbor with the addition of Ghost Ranch. The new opening is a Chamberlin Hospitality concept (from star chef Aaron Chamberlin) and a sister restaurant of Taco Chelo, Phoenix Public Market Cafe and Tempe Public Market Cafe, located next-door to Ghost Ranch.

While we’re still in the depths of summer weather in the Valley, Flagstaff is sitting at 75-degree highs. And with the debut of the newly upgraded Silver Pine Restaurant & Bar at Little America Hotel, we think now is the perfect time to head north.

One of Old Town’s most exciting newbies, Dorian, is now open seven days a week, including during breakfast from 7 a.m. to noon daily, which we had the chance to sample during a recent visit.
