    a hand holding a wrap of food
    Kasey F.

    My Husband and I found this spot on Yelp and immediately the owners were so welcoming and kind. They noticed we were new and we felt like fast friends. We sat on the patio. My hubby got a sandwich that he said was very tasty. I asked Oli to choose for me and I had a delicious Chinese chicken wrap. The different textures were perfect. Filling but not too heavy. We also got a side of fries that were perfectly crispy. We had already decided we would go back just for the people even if the food was just ok. We were elated that the food was delicious! Fresh, flavorful and made with love. We can't wait to go back. I had half eaten my wrap before I remembered to grab a photo. Highly recommend!

    Breakfast burrito with ham! Mmmmm so good!

    I absolutely love this place! This is my 3rd time here at this hidden gem with my husband. The forum club is probably the best club sandwich I have ever had. I have also tried & enjoyed their fried chicken wrap with a honey mustard sauce. But their breakfast burritos really hit the spot! We add jalapeño & avocado. We have always been greeted very warmly by the owner as if we were family coming home. If you are in the mood for a delicious & fresh breakfast/lunch, & want to leave with a happy tummy & spirit, then you MUST come here & experience the magic that is "The Forum Cafe". Oh & try the brownies! They are ridiculously moist & rich.

    I am always looking for something a little off the beaten path, so when I saw this place on Yelp, we had to give it a try. It is a little tricky to find as it is in the courtyard area of an office building, but you need to go. The service here is amazing. They know everyone by name and what they like to order. Immediately knew that we weren't regulars and wanted to know our story. If that wasn't impressive enough, the food was just that as amazing. We had the grilled turkey & cheese sandwich, grilled cheese, fries, and the brownies (because everyone else was getting them). Everything was homemade and fresh. Sandwiches, salads, desserts...everything looked great. Sounds like it is a popular spot to cater from as well.

    Crispy and delicious

    This place is an awesome little cafe. My wife and I came to Scottsdale for a little vacation and decided to check this place out. I had the sirloin burger and she had the BLT. The BLT was absolutely delicious, the bacon was perfectly crisp and there is a TON of bacon on the sandwich, not like other places where you bite into the sandwich and it's all bread, lettuce and tomato. The burger was delicious, but let me tell you about these French fries......... perfect combination of crisp on the outside and fluff on the inside. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Also, treated ourselves to a hazelnut latte, which didn't disappoint. Forum Cafe is run by a husband and wife (support local business) with lots of personality and zaz! We were thoroughly happy with our visit, and will definitely be back again!

    I did however have an Italian Wrap instead of a breakfast burrito, since it was about 1pm the time I went in.

And let's say, I will be coming again. The service first time was a bit slow, but second trip was grand! Our server took good care of us, but wasn't overbearing like some places. We came out for the taco deal and wow, was it worth every penny. Just look at that picture. I wish it came with guac like their instagram posts but that must be extra, I forgot to ask. The steak was the perfect portion for two. Cooked to perfection, and the sides were tasty. The vibe was a bit loud but that was mostly because the scottsdale bros behind us. I like the restaurant's atmosphere. It's a lil crazy to charge $20 a person for reservations if you don't show or cancel, especially for a group of two.. Overall, the ends is awesome. Love that it's a seed oil spot and use tallow, my faaaaav. I want to come back soon to try the other dishes as they all sound awesome. The first time I came we had a family meal so it was like samples, but definitely will come try the full sized stuff

I love beef, and I love arugula, but it tasted like the arugula was sitting in lemon juice for so long before plating that the bitterness of it bled into the beef, so the beef itself was strangely bitter. Sides and entrees were fantastic except for pommes puree. Well made, but it was extremely salty and almost inedible. The scallops were well cooked and the pasta was very good and cooked perfectly tender. Some of the best pappardelle I've had. We sat at the bar and service was great. The bartender was very friendly. Ambiance inside is cute and cozy.

    We have been coming here for a long time, but unfortunately, this will be our last visit. Many…read morepeople have advised me to stay away, claiming the place is overhyped and that there are better options available. However, every time we visited in the past, we had a great experience--until this last visit. We made a reservation for 7:45 PM but didn't get seated until 8:30 PM. While this isn't terrible, it can be challenging when you have a little one with you, but it's to be expected as a parent. Once we were at our table, we ordered drinks and food for the kids. My wife ordered a cocktail, and I opted for an Old Fashioned. The kids ordered pasta and a cheese pizza. This is when things started to go downhill. The pasta was okay, but the pizza had a few hairs on it--more than one, in fact. This made us uncomfortable, so we informed the waiter, and they addressed the issue promptly. As we waited for the new pizza, our drinks arrived, and they were nicely presented. However, while sipping my Old Fashioned, I noticed something unusual in my drink--Tajin. Curious, I asked the waiter if this was a special variation of the Old Fashioned. She replied no, so I pointed out the issue in my glass, and she confirmed she saw the Tajin as well. I felt she was treating it as if it was acceptable, which it clearly wasn't, so I looked at her, signaling that I would like a new drink. (I wish I had taken pictures.) Following that, our main dishes started to arrive. My wife ordered a wagyu steak, and I had the pork loin. Unfortunately, we began to analyze everything after the earlier mishaps, and the vibe of the experience was completely lost. To make matters worse, we were still charged for the pizza that had hair on it and the drink that had the issue. With all that being said, I've decided I will no longer be dining here.

    We had a great night at Etta overall. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and has such a…read morewarm, inviting vibe. We were seated in the back since we were a larger party, which was a little disappointing - the front area felt much more lively. We didn't realize we could request seating closer to the front, but to their credit, they did turn the music up a bit, which helped the atmosphere. The service was okay - not bad, but a little on the mediocre side. That said, the food definitely made up for it. The Wagyu steak was absolutely delicious, and the appetizers were solid as well. Even with a few small hiccups, it was still a great experience and a fun night out. We would definitely go back and would just ask to sit closer to the front next time.
