During our trip to Scottsdale, Arizona, we stumbled upon Olive & Ivy, and we absolutely loved it!…read more This is so much more than just a restaurant -- it's a huge marketplace with an incredible atmosphere! You can enjoy a lovely dinner, sip on a delicious cappuccino, grab some ice cream, or pick up coffee and tasty treats to take on the road or bring home. And the best part? You can find it all in one place, even later in the evening! I fell in love with the stylish interior, cozy ambiance, and attention to every little detail. It's the kind of place where you don't just come to eat -- you want to stay longer and soak up the atmosphere. I absolutely love places that combine delicious food, shopping, and a truly special vibe! If you're ever in Scottsdale, Arizona, I highly recommend stopping by Olive & Ivy. We had such a wonderful experience and can't wait to come back!

I was in town for business and my colleague has a gluten-free allergy so we picked the spot because…read morethey offer a lot of gluten-free options. I will say I think we ordered too much food We had the burrata and the hummus to start. I had the barbecue ranch salad with chicken and she had the rustic bowl with steak. Everything was really good. The hummus was phenomenal. I wish the chicken in my salad was hot versus cold, but I would definitely come back here. Service was great really cool vibes inside they do offer outdoor seating as well.

I am so baffled this has 3.9 stars. I will legit never come back here!!…read more The service is DIABOLICALLY LONG I cannot BELIEVE how long we waited for 1 coffee and 2 entrees to-go when the restaurant was EMPTY between 9:30-10:30. I am actually so upset. We ordered at 10:09 and recieved the cappuccino about 10:15. We waited and waited, watching the 3 workers scramble for something to do. Cleaning up the bar area, scraping bird poop outside, count the leaves on the trees. Idk. I understand they're not the ones responsible for the slow kitchen. We waited 30+ minutes for our food and finally at 10:41 am we got it. Wanna know what we ordered? Avocado toast and a steak melt. One of the simplest things on the menu. And remember there were maybe 2-3 solo customers doing computer work or at the bar, who had already ordered and were just enjoying the day. The only other customers vying for an order from the kitchen was a family with some small children. I cannot fathom coming here at a time that is more busy and having to compete with multiple other parties to get my food the same business day. Do not come here if you're really hungry. We ordered at 9:15ish to eat there and even that felt like it took long, when there was even less than 3 customers there. Thank you for the cold cappuccino and your lack of urgency for customers. I'm so glad we tipped y'all twice to do the bare minimum and serve us food whenever you felt like it.

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS Butters Pancakes and Cafe…read more8300 N. Hayden Road Scottsdale, 85258 We were going to the Maricopa County Home Show at Westworld and needed to have some breakfast first. This is located about 3 miles from there. Other reviewers all noted that the place is usually packed, and today was no exception. However, the line to get in moves quite fast and we only waited about 10 minutes. When we were called for our table, we were given menus and fresh ice cold glasses of water were on the table. This restaurant is known for having fresh squeezed orange and/or grapefruit juice, so that was the first thing that was ordered. There is a machine loaded with oranges in the front, and the juice was a real treat. Companion ordered coffee, and I ordered a cappuccino, which came in a large (proper) cup with a lovely head of foamed milk on top. For the main courses, companion ordered steel cut oatmeal which came with little cups of brown sugar and raisins. Companion totally enjoyed the large bowl. For myself, I ordered french toast topped with apple/cinnamon glaze. It was delicious, but I could not possibly finish it. I felt so sorry for it to not be eaten, but I had to leave it! There are many servers on the floor and it became apparent that they all covered for each other. As for the food, they must have a dozen cooks in the back because as crowded as it was, our food came out quickly and really hot. I'm glad I don't get to this area often, because I'd blow up like a balloon with the quality of this food. Sanitation was as it should be, and the noise level was acceptable. 5 stars Sentry - Restaurant Reviews Tempe, Arizona 85282 Find us on Yelp, Google, and all around the world.

#hash hash baby# yum!…read more The last time I came here was 3 years ago. This most recent visit felt different because they didn't have a DJ. However, the playlist was solid filled with 2010s to current hits. The pot of coffee fueled me quick. I love that I got a full pot for myself to pour and enjoy. The mexicana scramble and the potatoes were well seasoned. My husband ordered a build-your-own omelet. We were able to request egg whites. The side dish butter pancakes were delicious even without the syrup. Two small complains are because the window to the patio was wide open, bugs and flies were everywhere and I even got bit by mosquitoes. Sighhh. Service was overall on point. Until it got busy at the end and it took us a while to flag our server down for boxes and pay.

The waitress checked in with us multiple times which I always appreciate. They also have outdoor seating for those who prefer that! I ordered the mac n cheese with steak and it was decent. Nothing out of this world, but good! Portions are also decent, no complaints there. If you plan on going in the evening, consider making a reservation if you want to play safe, especially on a Friday or weekend night. Overall, would try again.

Friends had been to the Montauk before and invited us to meet them for a weekend lunch…read more I made a reservation, so we could be sure to sit inside, since it is already well over 100 degrees outside. The six of us were seated across from the bar, and it was HOT . I started sweating and needed to use the menus as a fan and drink water to try and cool off. The restaurant had already been open for almost 2 hours, so I am not sure why it was so hot inside (others in our party were hot too, so I wasn't just me). Positives are the restaurant's beach decor and the hamburgers. Several people in our party ordered burgers, and they were cooked to perfection and the fries were really good! Negatives are very few seafood menu options and the fish tacos were terrible. They were drowning in a mayonnaise based slaw. The corn tortillas were really fresh and tasty, but when I bit into my taco I could mostly only taste mayonnaise and the pickled onions. Our friends even made an unsolicited comment that my tacos did not look good. Luckily, I selected fries as my side, because they were the best thing on my plate. With a name like Montauk, and the beach decor, I expected more fresh seafood options on the menu. More than half the menu was not seafood (Mediterranean platter, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, brussels sprouts, salads, etc.). Unfortunately, Montauk does not live up to the hype.

My friend liked this place because it had many items that are gluten free. We both got the spare rib and fries which was amazing. There are 2 patios, one in front and one in back, it will be nice to come here when the weather is cooler and sit on the patio. Just finding out my mom has celiac, this is a place I will come back to with her when she visits.

We came across this place after originally planning to go to Butter's nearby, but the wait there…read morewas too long and we were on a time crunch, so we decided to stop at Amelia's instead. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the staff with a warm hello. We grabbed seats at the bar and were immediately welcomed, offered menus, and asked what we wanted to drink. We both got skinny margaritas, and they were really good. You could actually taste the tequila and fresh ingredients rather than an overly sweet margarita mix. We both ordered the Breakfast Burrito for $14, which comes with housemade chicken sausage, roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs, green chilis, mozzarella, cheddar, and fire-roasted tomato salsa. We also got ketchup on the side. The burrito was delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff explained that they focus on fresh, locally sourced, high-quality ingredients, and you could definitely taste the quality. The ambiance was great too. I loved the wood details throughout the restaurant, everything looked clean and well maintained, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. My only disappointment is that there isn't an Amelia's closer to me because I would absolutely visit often. I hope they're able to maintain the quality and local feel because the food, ingredients, service, and atmosphere really stood out. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

Managed to snag a reservation on a busy Friday night around 7:30. Pulled into the lot and they…read morehave valet which is nice but was able to find an empty spot right in front so didn't need it. The place was buzzing with loud electronic music and tons of people dining -- I think because the ceiling is so high the noise is amplified. Because it was so busy it took a while for the server to come over but he did with waters which was nice but then the menus are all on QR codes -- which is annoying because it is hard to look at everything and because the menu is very confusing it would have been nice to see everything on paper. The menu is confusing because the selections are very odd -- I thought it was a mexican-asian/sushi fusion restaurant -- which I guess it is but it was still really hard to create the best food experience when I couldn't see everything available. My friend was hungry so she immediately put in an order for calamari and I was being called to order the blood orange margarita slushie. When the margarita came it was like nothing I have ever seen before. It looked more like a milkshake or like a creamsicle. I dove in thinking it would be too sweet but it was actually quite delicious and I sucked it back in a second! Also I put in an order for the edamame which sounded really good in the description -- "woodfired" and spicy miso butter -- but when they came they were really spicy and the woodfired element was making me cough, strangely enough -- I couldn't finish them! Finally after waiting forever we got the drinks and apps. It then took another 15 minutes to order our food. Again it was busy and my friend and I were catching up so it wasn't a big deal. We wanted a fairly light dinner so we just ordered one roll -- the Fuego, which had yellowtail and a whitefish, chili, cilantro and cucumber plus a pico de gallo on top -- it was very flavorful -- although a bit spicy for those who are spice wimps like me. Overall, thought it was a good meal but wasn't blown away.

My waiter Robert was poised, professional and precise. He was polite, attentive and friendly. He was a wonderful waiter. I love excellent customer service. Food was good overall no complaints. I enjoyed the fancy wedge salad. The wedge toppings were crispy bacon, red onions, blue cheese, tomatoes & ranch dressing . The lobster dumplings were different not my favorite, but not bad. They have potential, but something was missing. The sauce they were sitting in was flavorful. The adult drinks were good overall. My birthday welcome cocktail and refreshing sorbet dessert with a candle at the end of my meal was a cute treat and surprise. Definitely make a reservation! I felt they were organized and everything went smoothly. I appreciated the whole experience and left feeling happy and satisfied. I want to try happy hour in the future. It was a great way to kick off my birthday! Definitely top tier service!
