We loved it here. It was a very quiet Tuesday evening. The service was great. We just had to be a bit patient with waiters in training. No issue. The background music and the ambiance was very calming and inviting. Now the food--the food was 10/10. Ribeye was definitely worth it. It melts in your mouth. Melts. Very tender and well seasoned. The mashed may not be your style if you don't care for the clumps but we did enjoy it overall. Oh, and the cornbread was yummy. So moist and delicious. I wish we can go back here sooner rather than later. If ever in the area, it'll definitely be on the list. read more

We arrived at 40 Love on a quiet Tuesday evening, and the restaurant was noticeably slow. We began our night at the bar, starting with a Hugo spritz and a vodka gimlet. The gimlet was crisp, ice-cold, and perfectly balanced--an immediate highlight--while the spritz leaned a bit tart for our taste. After finishing our drinks, we transitioned to our table and were greeted right away by Natasha. She was bubbly, friendly, and immediately introduced herself, letting us know which items were out of stock for the night. It felt unusual for a Tuesday, but her genuine warmth set a welcoming tone. We started our meal with the scallop entrée, cornbread, and brioche. The scallop dish featured a rich, umami-packed sauce, though the scallops themselves were slightly salty. The cornbread had fantastic flavor and perfectly crisp edges, but the center was cold. The brioche offered great flavor as well, though it was served ambient and tasted a bit stale. For our mains, we shared the New York strip and the pork chop, both accompanied by fingerling potatoes and sautéed broccolini in a Calabrian vinaigrette. The pork chop stole the show for flavor--tender and juicy--but while we requested medium, it arrived well-done. The New York strip carried solid flavor yet ate a bit dry. Both sides were tasty but served lukewarm. We ended the evening with dessert, ordering the cheesecake and chocolate bread pudding. The cheesecake, paired with strawberry swirl ice cream, was rich but a little heavy. The bread pudding was overcooked and borderline room temperature, but the pecan brittle topping was the star--we could have eaten a whole bag of it! From the quiet bar start to the sweet finish, 40 Love offered warm service and memorable flavors despite a few temperature and consistency hiccups. Natasha's friendly hospitality made the night feel special, and the highlights ensure we'll be back for another visit. read more

We were really looking forward to trying 40 Love, but unfortunately, the experience was such a disappointment. The one bright spot of the evening was our server, Chris. He was amazing--friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our dinner. We started with the burrata, and I honestly couldn't believe how it was presented. It was extremely plain and visually unappealing, with nothing about the presentation that made it feel special or elevated. For our entrées, my husband ordered the roasted chicken and thought it was all right. I ordered the pork chop with potatoes and Brussels sprouts, and unfortunately my entire plate arrived barely warm. I had also specifically asked for my pork chop to be well done. It came sliced into approximately six pieces, and only about half of the slices were actually cooked well done. At that point, I ended up giving the rest to my husband rather than sending it back and waiting for another meal. For a restaurant that seems to get so much hype, I truly don't understand what the excitement is about. The food and presentation simply did not live up to our expectations, and we left feeling extremely disappointed. Chris was wonderful and deserves recognition for his service, but unfortunately, great service wasn't enough to make up for the meal. I would definitely not come back. I didn't even bother to take any pictures. read more

My girlfriends and I were excited to try 40 Love but left feeling quite disappointed with our experience. The service was painfully slow, with it taking almost an hour to get our food order in and several long periods of nobody returning to our table to check on us. This was especially surprising as there were only about four occupied tables max in the entire restaurant at any given time during our dinner. We had to ask several times for napkins and water. We ordered corn bread, meatballs, broccolini, brussels sprouts, lobster pasta, brownie cheesecake, and a total of six cocktails for our table. The corn bread and cocktails were the only redeeming items. Everything else was bland, mushy, cold, or overcooked. At one point during dinner, the restaurant dimmed the lights so low that even our server commented on how dark it was. For an almost $300 bill after tip, we likely won't return any time soon. read more

Really enjoyed this meal, especially the burrata to start! All of the cocktails were really tasty! And I enjoyed the entrées as well. The scallops were seared very nicely. I will say the price point is a little high, but that Scottsdale for you. We sat inside. They have a lot of low tables, which isn't my favorite, but it was kind of nice vibe for the night. And then the patio looked really nice outside! Service was great especially the guys filling water were always coming around which was really nice. read more

I had such a great experience here! Our server, Isaac, was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. I ordered the garganelli pasta, and it was phenomenal--so unique and full of flavor. The Caesar salad was also one of the best I've ever had! You have to order the pull-apart brioche too. The butter was next level! It was my friend's birthday, and they brought out two complimentary desserts, which were both 10/10. The atmosphere is also so cute--dim lighting, beautiful decor, and a really cozy vibe. Everything from the food to the service was amazing. I'll definitely be back! read more

The establishment is beautifully decorated. I wish the dressed code was enforced because the shorts and flip flops devalues the restaurant. The DJ adds a nice vibe. The service is great. Our waiter checked on us multiple times as well as other staff members. They open at 5PM our dinner reservations were at 9PM. They ran out of Arancini Wagyu and meatballs. I ordered the Grilled Caesar. I don't want was grilled about it because there was no protein included and it was $18 for just lettuce. This was my second visit and I'm all set. read more

I had dinner at 40 Love in Old Town Scottsdale and overall thought it was a decent experience. The space itself is really nice and definitely has a fun, upscale atmosphere. It is VERY dark inside though we actually had to use our phone flashlights just to read the menu, so keep that in mind. I really enjoyed the ambiance and especially the music they were playing. I also had the Love Potion cocktail, which was really good! It had a nice spicy kick to it and was probably one of my favorite parts of the night. One thing I found kind of funny is that for a place called 40 Love, I really didn't notice many tennis references at all. The decor felt much more like a jungle/Miami Vice aesthetic than a tennis-themed restaurant. Not necessarily a bad thing because the space is beautiful, but the name had me expecting more of a tennis theme. My biggest disappointment was that they were out of multiple things I specifically wanted to try. I wanted the pull-apart brioche bread AND the caviar, and they didn't have either available that night. That was pretty annoying, especially considering the prices here. If something is featured on the menu, I would expect it to actually be available, particularly at this price point. The food we did have was good, and we finished the night with dessert, which was enjoyable. Overall, I'd still recommend giving 40 Love a try for the atmosphere, cocktails, music and a fun night out in Old Town. Just know that it is on the pricier side, and hopefully when you visit they actually have everything listed on the menu! read more

Cute spot , definitely over priced for what it is but we still had a great time. Our waiter was awesome. I took a star away and honestly should take another one but they made it up with great service but it was 109 yesterday, when we walked into the restaurant for our evening reservation it was hot and just kept getting hotter. We ended up asking why it was so hot indoors, turns out their AC was broken, I'd think, they'd call people who had reservations to let them know that, this is Az in the dead of summer and we celebrated my friends birthday for 2 hours and 15 minutes melting. It was bad how hot it was inside. Minus the AC issue I'd give it a try again. read more

40 Love is one of the best new restaurants in Old Town Scottsdale! This restaurant replaced a very famous bar in the past and this concept is truly awesome. My wife and I came for a date night which was perfect for us and got a mix of steak, pasta, and appetizers which were all delicious. Many other restaurants appear to be the same in Scottsdale, but not 40 Love which stands out among a competitive list of date night restaurants to choose from. My only small critique is that the place is a bit smaller on the inside (patio is huge though), so I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time because the bar seating is also reservations only which is different than other places. If you want a restaurant with a creative menu and an intimate yet fun atmosphere, then I highly recommend this place! read more

Really wanted to like this place so bad. Heard about the hype andwe came during the late night menu on a Saturday night. I'd suggest coming another night if you want to try their food and receive good service. Had to waive down servers just to know we were here. Both bars were packed, tables were full, but server who was supposed to be in our area was no where to be found. Luckily Chris walked by us enough, and told us, he'd take care of us. We ordered drinks and food from the late night menu. Ratings for food below: WAGYU YAKINIKU SKEWERS 5/5 FRITES STREET CRINKLE CUT FRIES 4/5 CAVIAR WAFFLE STICKS 3/5 read more

The ambiance is cute inside, very dimmed and spacious. I ordered two cocktails: midnight magic and an espresso martini. The midnight magic is very sweet - good enough for one drink. The espresso martini was super strong. For dinner, we ordered the Caesar salad and the ribeye. The salad was good and refreshing. The ribeye was grilled to perfection, however it was too much fat overall. read more

We went here on Friday night and overall had a really enjoyable experience. This is a newer restaurant, and you can tell they're still finding their rhythm--but the food was tasty, the drinks were delicious, and the space itself is absolutely beautiful. We did have an 8:15 reservation and weren't seated until about 8:35. I chose "standard seating," so that may have played a role, but we were seated in a smaller room away from the main dining area, which felt a bit removed from the atmosphere of the rest of the restaurant. Our server--Brendon (or a similar name)--was wonderful. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the night. We started with the caramelized meatballs, which were very good and full of flavor. That said, I didn't really get the caramelization described on the menu; they felt more like baked meatballs in sauce. Still tasty, just not quite what I expected based on the description. For our main dish, we shared the Snake River American Wagyu farm ribeye with two sides. The flavor of the steak was excellent, but it was much thinner than I expected for a ribeye cut. The preserved wild mushrooms were good--I loved the variety of textures and mushroom sizes--but I felt they could have used just a bit more seasoning. The red bliss potato mash, however, was delicious and something I would absolutely order again. Overall, we had a great night and I can't wait to come back, hopefully sit in the main dining area next time, and try some new dishes as the restaurant continues to settle in. read more

First restaurant of 2026 did NOT disappoint!!!! We loved it here, everything from the service to the food, incredible. As a fan of Niall Horan I heard about this place and checked it out. Think country club vibes, a lot of palm trees and palm frond decor. So cute. We came on a rare rainy night in Phoenix, but I'm sure if we were here during the day, the vibes would be even better. We each ordered cocktails, 10/10. We looked like cosmo and Wanda, said the server :) we started with meatballs and Cesar salad. Absolutely phenomenal. Would go back just for the appetizers. We had the 8oz filet mignon with the mashed potatoes and they were to die for. Sooooo good. Can't say enough good things about this place!!! Can't wait to go back. read more

Give me an LA vibe with a South Beach feel but in the middle of Scottsdale!!! Ladies and Gentleman... 40 Love has entered the chat! Great food, great customer service, great indoor and outdoor seating options. Great for date night, girls night, or even an intimate business dinner. The steaks were cooked perfectly, the cocktails were strong and well crafted, and our waiter Isaac was knowledgeable and prompt. Give this place a try, you won't regret it! read more

I have been wanting to try this place since it opened and finally had the opportunity. It was easy to make a reservation and I love the location. The hostess greeted me promptly as well as the gentleman on the outside (he was very nice). I was seated pretty quickly (I was on time). It was two of us and mt friend was outside on a call but the original table I was seated at felt like a kids table lol so it was nice that the waitress noticed without me saying anything and moved me to a nice booth. The space is beautiful, the music was IT! I pretty much knew all the songs being played. Our server Christina was really nice and provided great recommendations. I like the simple menu and I ordered the seabass and the wedge salad (chopped). The salad was soooooo good lol I would go back just for the salad and the sea bass had a nice flavor. I love the vibe of this place and it seems like it was turning into a lounge after awhile. I would def come back for drinks with friends. read more

This is one of those places that plays music so loud inside that you're gonna have to yell just to be heard by your table mates. When I got here, I actually wanted to sit at a table but they were so pushy with me and insisted that I sit at the bar so that's what I ended up doing. I wanted a little more peace and quiet so I sat at the bar outside. I ordered a wagyu filet mignon and a New York cheesecake. The wagyu filet mignon cost $80 but I only felt it was slightly better than a normal filet mignon and thus would say that the price is not worth it. The New York cheesecake was heavy and became a chore to eat once I finished 75% of it. The service was a little inattentive too. Overall, I didn't feel the "love" of this place and I think that there are much better fine dining spots out there. My bill came out to $103.68. read more

Last night we had a 7:30 reservation for 40 Love that we made via open table. We were excited to try during our last night on vacation. Upon Ubering there, we realized the place wasn't even open. Door locked, drink sign still outside but closed. You would think someone would call the reservations or at least, change the hours on both their reservation site and Google. Luckily there were several restaurants within walking distance but really bummed to uber 25 mins to a closed restaurant :/ read more

The ambulance was really nice. We were there at six 6 PM on a Thursday. There were only about three tables in the whole restaurant. Noticed that the service was really slow. For not having any customers in the restaurant. (no hostess or greeter at the front door, just employees taking turns, walking up there ) The ambience was nice. The food was good. But it was not great. Especially for that price point. We actually sent the brioche pull apart bread back. As working in food, my whole life. It seemed like it was steal or maybe from yesterday. The chef agreed and said it was just a bad batch from that day. (they also did not seem like brioche, they seem like doughballs that were put in a baking pan. we were literally in France 3 weeks ago ) Again. Everything was OK. But we would not go back. especially at that price point. Definitely letdown. Definitely do not follow influencers on TikTok. I believe they're just out for a free meal. And have no real opinion of good food and good service. read more

40 Love is a new hip restaurant in Scottsdale offering modern American cuisine. What I didn't love was the food. The lobster pasta sauce was a bit gross. It had a sweeter taste. The appetizer we got were the caviar sticks were very underwhelming and not worth the price point. I will say that the service we got was amazing. The staff constantly tended to our needs. The ambiance is beautiful, fitting for the downtown Scottsdale location. read more

I will definitely be back again. read more

Honesty, my advice is to skip it. For the price we'd prefer to have consistency and smaller portion more than anything. Yes, It makes for an impressive date night experience at first, the ambiance is romantic, it's quiet, The drinks are creatively crafted and but the staff and kitchen need better communication. In all fairness this may of been because we came in dead of summer (in July on a Thursday) and they were short staff or ready to go home. First as we begin glancing through the menu waitress told us they were was out of the meatballs which is fine, but also out of the caviar which we thinking of pairing with our drinks, oh well. We order all 4 drinks on the menus and requested they be brought 2 at a time. She brought out our drinks which was pretty fast, and ask if we were ready to order then This is where the confusion set in. We asked type of oysters they had and she couldn't give us a definite answer as to the type other then they were either East Coast or West Coast, she said she'd give us some time to think about it and then came back. We ultimately decided to go for the East Coast as they're a bit more saltier (safer choice) and even mentioned they would create a pairing contrast with our drinks, we specifically mentioned that. We ordered 12 oysters as our appetizer, and place our entrées and sides orders. Our Oyster were delivered with the cornbread and broccolini (which were suppose to be our sides) but that wasn't the issue the issue was they brought out the wrong oysters. All 12 wrong, we were thinking maybe we confused the girl, but I specifically remember what we said we wanted east coast because we were craving that seafood taste.. However when she came to deliver our 2nd round of drinks we had mentioned they brought out the wrong oysters, they said they were sorry for the confusion they can see time what they can do, the manager steps in and says she couldn't return them at this time but would offer us 6 of the East coast as they couldn't take these back. It was very confusing as we just wanted what we ordered and there was no way we wanted 18 oyster along with everything we just order. We said no that is fine, it wasn't a big deal, besides we had plenty of food here and coming, the cornbread was delicious and we practically ate half we left the oysters alone, the Seabass was delicious ultimately the finale straw was my lobster pasta, it was extremely over cooked such a disappointment but the drinks were great and pasta aside from the lobster was great too. read more

I made a reservation and was sat immediately but put into a back corner. We went there for the ambience and vibe but didn't receive that due to being in the back. This restaurant is expensive so please keep that in mind with what I say. Service was bad from wait staff. We got waters immediately but then did not have menu and because we're in the back basically got forgotten about so the server took a long time to get to us. For food we got brioche buns- not very soft or fluffy like you would expect but honey butter good Caramelized meatballs- these were only ok but red sauce was good. Garganelli Pasta- said that it was a lemon truffle pasta so expected a lighter sauce. When in reality it was more Alfredo cheese sauce leaning. It was good but no lemon or heavy truffle flavor. Overall food very mid service not great. Would not good again read more

The ambiance of this place is amazing. Low lights, great music, comfy seating. The food and drinks were pretty good as well.

Went to 40 Love and ordered the 2am chicken tenders, which were way better than expected. Hot, crispy, well seasoned, and not greasy. They actually feel intentional, not like a late night filler item. Service was solid the entire time. Attentive without hovering, drinks stayed moving, and timing felt smooth. The staff knows how to handle a busy room while still making it feel easy. The ambience is a big part of why this place works. Low lighting, polished interior, and a crowd that feels energetic but controlled. It stays elevated without being stiff. Food holds up, service is consistent, and the atmosphere makes you want to stay. read more

Very disappointed with the service. We were there on a Wed nite Sat outside. Waited 45 minutes for our drinks to arrive. A new waitress took over when she realized we hadn't ordered. Our side dishes came out cold. And when returned they were still cold. The sea bass and Dover sole were hot and tasty. And the caesar salad was good however it said grilled which it wasn't. Expensive and not worth it! read more

Came here on a Tuesday night, I honestly believe it was St.Pattys day. My bf and I walked in to an empty restaurant and there were 3 other guys having a drink at the bar. The bartenders saw us walk in and just kept eating? They took their sweet time to even acknowledge us and it took the other bar guests to say something to get the bartender to come over. He was very monotone and didn't really make us feel welcome. It was a rough first experience given that I have wanted to try this place for a while and for some reason it is always empty when we walk by and now I think the staff is the reason why. There was another couple that walked in about twenty minutes after us and the bartender gave them quite a different experience, greeted them with enthusiasm and was laughing and making jokes and that disappeared when he spoke to us until the end of our drink. They were an hour away from closing but that shouldn't be a factor into how they treat their guests. Not sure if we will be back. read more

Seriously loved this place. The staff was so friendly and welcoming from start to finish, and everyone was attentive and really accommodating with my food allergies and dietary restrictions, which I appreciated a lot.

I visited 3rd week of opening, and I have mixed feelings. The atmosphere is definitely a standout super chic, trendy, and honestly really cute for a night out for photos. The staff was amazing and the service was impressively fast, especially for a brand-new spot. The drinks were good, but not necessarily memorable. They get the job done, but I wouldn't say they're a highlight. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. I ordered the garganelli pasta, and some of the pasta was cold and a bit hard. The meatball was also slightly cold in the center, which took away from the overall experience. For the price and vibe, I expected much better quality. Overall, I'd come back for drinks and the ambiance, but probably skip the food next time. read more

New hot spot in Scottsdale a must go! Everything I s amazing and drinks are unlike anywhere else. Great staff and extremely clean. We will be back read more

Came in with high expectations given the location and overall vibe, and while there were some highlights, the experience felt a bit hit or miss. We started with the bread and rosemary oil, which unfortunately fell flat. It tasted like standard brioche and the rosemary didn't really come through, so it wasn't particularly memorable. The seasonal hamachi crudo was fresh and enjoyable, but nothing that really stood out compared to similar dishes elsewhere. The burrata was underwhelming and not one I'd order again. Same with the grilled Caesar--it didn't have that charred, smoky flavor you'd expect and came across more like a standard Caesar salad. The standout was definitely the filet mignon. Cooked perfectly medium rare, well-seasoned, and easily the best dish we had. The lobster pasta was just okay--nothing wrong with it, but nothing that would make me come back specifically for it. Overall, the space and concept are great, but the food execution felt inconsistent. I'd return for the filet, but would be more selective with what I order next time. read more
