    A friend and I stopped by Pinyon for their incredible happy hour. They are a sister restaurant to Buck & Rider which was our main reason for visiting. We sat at the bar upstairs which had a great open atmosphere to enjoy the weather. The food was great. We had the hummus, carpaccio and fried feta. It was hard to pick a favorite because I loved them all equally and the portions were very generous for a happy hour. The only 1 star I have to dock is for the service. It wasn't the friendliest and we were never asked if we wanted another round of drinks. I still would return just for the food alone.

    When I come back to Scottsdale, I'm coming back to Pinyon for the hummus and house-made pita. Oh my word. That olive hummus is DREAMY! And I've had a lot of hummus!! We were able to snag some bar seats at the tail end of happy hour. We ordered the special espresso martinis (not sure I'd recommend), hummus with fresh pita, and some delicious cacio e Pepe with shrimp. But what really stole the show was how beautiful the restaurant is! I was mindblown at the size and how the servers seemed to keep up with so many different requests. I can't wait to visit again and try even more options. But that hummus will be ordered every.single.time.

    Pinyon has quickly become one of my new favorite restaurants in the Valley! It's no surprise since their sister restaurant, Buck and Rider is my other favorite. I've visited Pinyon three times and am always looking for an excuse to go back. Girls night? I'm suggesting Pinyon. Family visiting? I'm taking them to Pinyon. Happy hour? Pinyon. The space is beautiful with an open air design. Pinyon features a lovely patio that overlooks the park at Old Town. There are two bars, one downstairs and one upstairs. The service has been excellent during all three visits. I've tried a variety of items such as different kinds of hummus, house-made pita, shrimp kebab, cacio e pepe with shrimp, seared feta and tomato, crudo, ribeye, and more. I have never had anything bad from Pinyon. Everything is flavorful and portions are decent. My favorite and is a must is the hummus and pita. I could happily make a meal out of that. The pita is pillowy soft and the hummus is so fresh. I think about both often and wish I lived closer to Pinyon!

    Easily my boyfriend and I's favorite meal of 2026! Service was amazing start to finish. Food was incredible-- the oysters were the best we've had and the feta was to die for! Worth making a reservation we will be returning!

    We recently had lunch here with friends on a Sunday. The weather was beautiful so we enjoyed the patio. Reservations are highly recommended. The patio is a nice size and reminds me of Europe. The hummus was highly recommended with the fresh pita. I'm afraid they have ruined all other pita for me because omg it was SO good. Fluffy and warm with a slight sear. We really enjoyed the labneh and spiced olive hummus dips. We tried the arugula salad and the eggplant dish. Both were full of flavor and very unique. The eggplant is breaded/fried so a little on the heavier side but the portion is just right. Others in the group enjoyed cacio pepe and mushroom skewers. Our server was friendly and attentive and food came out pretty quickly. I definitely want to come back and try some of the more breakfast items!

    I have to admit that I was not expecting to rave about this place because of how loud and busy it was at 7:30 pm on a Thursday. We were seated close to the door and the host desk which was crawling with people waiting to be seated and at first we thought this is going to be terrible. But we were WRONG! The crowds quickly dissipated and our lovely waitress turned things around very quickly with a welcoming smile and hospitable attitude. After the first 10 minutes our evening just kept getting better and better. The food was truly amazing. We shared the beef carpaccio, Ibérico Jamón, and one of the hummus flavors. All were spectacular. For dinner, the grilled turbot and the lobster ravioli were exquisite. I had the linguini with clams which was perfectly cooked and tasted incredible, and my wife really enjoyed the risotto. The grand finale was the baklava cheesecake which was out of this world. Although the restaurant was full with a wait list that went on past 9:00 pm, we never felt rushed, or hurried. The service was timed perfectly and the staff were super accommodating. A very nice touch was that the manger came by to wish my son a happy birthday and gave him a complementary box of special chocolates.

    Pinyon! Yep! Came here for a dinner meeting. Awesome spot in Scottsdale. Super mellow vibe. We arrived early not knowing how busy they'd get but for a Monday evening the place packed out and for good reason. The different hummus's were so good! As was the seafood we ordered (see pic). The scallops were the star of the show. Although everything was fresh and delicious. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in town.

    Pinyon was absolutely everything I want in a new Scottsdale restaurant. Actually good food in a space that also happens to be gorgeous. You would be surprised how many new restaurants miss the mark on the good food nowadays?? Anyways this has been on my list to try this place for a good minute and it did not disappoint! We came for book club with the farmers market happening right outside, which made the whole afternoon feel incredibly curated and charming. The vibe inside is elevated but not stuffy, the kind of place you'd want to linger and we definitely did! ‍ The drinks were excellent, but the star of the table was the tuna crudo. It had this perfect punch of heat and acidity. Spicy, bright, beautifully plated. Exactly the kind of dish that makes you stop mid-conversation and just appreciate it. Hummus was also incredible to share with the table!! 10/10, will absolutely be back. Pinyon was incredible and a new staple my Scottsdale list

    My husband and I have been following Pinyon on social media since they opened and have been wanting to go, so we decided to check out their happy hour! We sat at the bar since there was no wait and the rooftop was full. Our bartender was super cool and we were able to order everything at the bar. We tried the hummus and the chicken schnitzel and OMG everything was amazing! The pita bread is so fresh and tasty! Our drinks were amazing as well. We're definitely going to need to go back so we can try more items and check out the rooftop view.

    Make reservations even on a weekday-- it's busy! They have a really cool patio area that would've been fun to sit at. (next time!!) We were able to grab spots at the bar area. There were two of us and we shared the hummus, sweet potatoes and tuna. Everything was delicious!! The hummus and sweet potatoes were probably some of the best hummus and sweet potatoes I've ever had--they are so good!!! We had way too much food for the two of us and took leftovers home. Will definitely return!!!

    This place has been on our list for dinner but we noticed they had an amazing brunch menu and we…read morewere hungry and decided to go check it out. The hotel provides 10$ valet service which I was blown away by the cost because many other fancy locations charge a lot more in my area. We dropped off our vehicle then walked towards the beautiful door with the name of the restaurant illuminated. As we entered we were greeted by a beautiful wine display and a beautiful host check-in area. The place had lots of neon lights that complemented the stone and wood. We approached the bar and sat on some very comfortable barstools. The bathrooms were incredibly clean and had a very modern look. Everything was beautiful! We had the pleasure of meeting Caleb who was new to the restaurant and he gave us a rundown of the menu. He recommended a few items and was very patient with us because brunch is a ritual and can take a while to decide especially when everything looked so amazing on the menu. We finally decided on Eggs Benedict and as we were looking for other options Anthony who was extremely knowledgeable, judging by how well he knew the menu and talked about the items, was a veteran and very skilled. He went over the menu in detail and helped us narrow down our options and we chose the frittata. The eggs Benedict was a work of art and the flavors were beautiful. The eggs were perfectly poached and the sauce was better than any sauce I have had in a while. It was rich and creamy and had the perfect texture. The ciabatta that everything was on was perfectly toasted and had that beautiful char flavor. The spinach was fresh and green and still had a crunch to it. The frittata was perfectly made and was fluffy and had fresh arugula on top. It was very soft and not dry and had a perfect shape. The chef blended the flavors perfectly allowing you to taste every ingredient in it. No ingredient overpowered the other and everything was in perfect harmony to excite the taste buds. Anthony and Caleb came back to check on us and we tried their refreshing spritz that was highly recommended. While sipping on our spritz we spoke to Anthony and he gave us some fabulous ideas about where to go and things to do and we decided to go to the civic center and old town area that he recommended and it was amazing. We then asked Anthony and Caleb for a menu. We were full but the food was so good we wanted to try more and they recommended the calamari. The calamari practically made me cry. It was not oily like you get it at most restaurants and the breading was perfect it was light and fluffy and appeared to be floating like clouds on each other. It was not chewy but perfectly tender with the right amount of zesty that brought back memories of being in Sicily. We ordered some prosecco and enjoyed it as Caleb gave us some recommendations on other restaurants we should try while we were in town, which we added to our list. Calobe and Anthony were very helpful and a prime example of what makes a business prosper. Taking care of the people is not only serving food and making drinks. It is about connecting with them even beyond what the restaurant has to offer. We were so sad we were not able to go back for dinner but because of the amazing staff, we will be coming back to sexy roman again. Thank you, Chef, for your amazing food, and thank you Anthony and Caleb for your level of professionalism and the fantastic customer service!
