    Short rib agnolotti
    Michelle J.

    Our little group decided to treat ourselves for a job well done. We decided to try this place, and we did not make a reservation. We walked in and told the greeter that we were hoping to get a table. She told us it was nearly impossible without a reservation. I guess she saw the disappointment on our faces, because she said she could seat us at an "hour" table. We took it. This place was upscale and a little fancy for me. . . lol. . . it was beautiful, but a little too dim for me. We all had to turn on our phone lights to read the menu. . . lol. . . I had brisket burnt ends and Brussel sprouts. The others ordered short rib agnolotti and handmade ravioli. The girls all had alcoholic drinks, and I had housemade lemonade. The lemonade was very tart; I don't believe I finished it. I think we were all surprised at the portion size. My portions were perfect and tasted fabulous. I even had some to share. I guess the girls who ordered the short rib agnolotti didn't realize it was pasta. They thought they were getting short ribs. Despite the portion sizes, we all shared. Everyone truly enjoyed their meal and sadly wanted more. I think we stayed past our hour, but no one said anything. We had a blast, and then we enjoyed a walk around the area, wishing we had gone earlier to get some shopping in. I definitely would like to come back again.

    Came here for the first time for my birthday dinner with my girlfriend and was excited to try it. I had received gift cards beforehand, which is what led me to book a reservation here in the first place. Starting with the positives: the staff were friendly, and our server was helpful when it came to recommendations. The steak has good flavor and I could tell it was good quality. That being said, the experience had a few letdowns. It was a Saturday around 5pm, so I expected it to be busy, but it still took well over 20 minutes just to get our drinks and put in our food order. I also overheard the table next to us mentioning similar issues with the service. For the price, the portions didn't really match up. The steak itself was a good size, but the mashed potatoes were very runny and the portion was small. Also, I specifically asked if there was any sauce or gravy on the steak or potatoes and was told no, but when the food came out, there clearly was- which I would have ordered without. The biggest disappointment came at the end when I went to pay. I was told only one gift card could be used per transaction, which kind of defeated the whole purpose of coming here. Overall, not a terrible experience, but for the price and everything mentioned, I will not return.

    Tommy Tuesdays, for the win! I was in town visiting a friend and she recommended this vibey place. It was seriously like big city vibes with the dim lighting, music and CROWD on a Tuesday. So, reservations are definitely recommended (easy peasy on OpenTable). We had the: *Brussel Sprout Salad ($18.00) - honestly I was hesitant to order this salad but it was so good - perfectly dressed, good balance of crispy fried brussel sprouts as well as raw. yum. *Mushroom Pasta ($26.00) - sooo rich and shroom forward as expected *Tomahawk Taco Tuesday ($165.00) - it's higher since we added shrimp but the usual cost is $200. This was A LOT of food. We had plenty leftover for a party of 3 gals. *Banana Bread Split - i've noticed that banana bread is VERY popular on dessert menus in Scottsdale/Phoenix/Tempe for some reason but I will say this is probably the best rendition I've had. It was as it sounds...banana bread topped with gelato and whip. Delish. *Sourdough Chocolate Cake - SOO decadent - like the Maltida cake but was still light. The brown butter miso buttercream was perfect to add a bit of salt and break up also devil's food-cake like chocolate cake! Fun cocktails too - not my favorite I've had but good complement overall.

    I picked the spot for date night and am happy to say I picked well! It's artsy, dimly lit, and perfect for date night. Everything the staff recommended was fantastic and when I asked for a super dirty martini, they definitely delivered.

    Came here for my birthday celebration and last date night in Phoenix, and overall we really enjoyed our meal! The restaurant has a moody vibe that sets a great tone for dinner. The hostess and our waitress were both very friendly and gave solid recommendations. We shared everything so we could try a few different dishes. We started with the burnt ends, which were super flavorful, and we both loved the sauce, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. For our main, we had the wagyu NY strip. It was cooked perfectly with a great crust, which is my favorite part. It was a good steak, though I am not sure I would have been able to tell it was wagyu. The bone marrow butter was good but a little on the sweet side, I think from caramelized brown sugar, and we would have preferred it more savory. The potatoes were phenomenal, we just wish there had been more of them. We also tried the mushroom pasta, which was really good with perfectly cooked noodles. We skipped dessert this time, but overall everything tasted high quality. It was just a bit pricey for the portion sizes. 4.5 out of 5 stars for me!

    A friend and I recently came here for a birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint! I absolutely loved the vibe from the get-go, it felt intimate in a high energy setting with modern interior. After looking over the menu, we ordered the carpaccio to start off with. It was exquisite. Every bite was a bit different; the flavors were complex and worked well together. For our main entrees we ordered the mushroom pasta to share, the pan seared scallops, and the prime beef filet as our respective dishes. We also ordered a side of the tallow fries. My friend who isn't a big fan of mushrooms, highly enjoyed the pasta. The pasta was tender and fell off our forks easily. You would think it would've been heavy and rich, but it was surprisingly light, which we loved. I would also say the same thing about the risotto part of my scallop entree. Usually, whenever I get risotto, it would be overwhelmingly rich, but this one was not. The scallops were also tender and well-seasoned, not overly salted. Since we always have room for dessert, we ordered the croissant bread and butter pudding. This dessert tasted a bit citrus-y with the usual buttery croissant flavor being more subtle. Overall, we had a great dining experience at The Ends. Service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. Parking can be hard to find but there are a few lots and garages not too far of a walking distance away.

    The ambiance is amazing. The restaurant is so well designed and so unique. We came for a birthday dinner and the service and food didn't disappoint. Kris gave us great recommendations which we followed and weren't left disappointed. She even brought me a birthday dessert which was so kind of her!! the cake batter gelato is a must and the hamachi crudo with the crispy egg yolk rice together is heavenly!! The restaurant is seed oil free too if you are looking for that. Definitely have to come back here to try more things on the menu.

    Meatball and buttery biscuits appetizers
    Pamela G.

    I was really excited to try this place since it first came out but the rumor mill was that this restaurant paid for hundreds of positive reviews to get the hype it was getting. I purposely waited a year after it opened to see more of these genuine reviews flow in and it continued to be positive. I also loved the fact that it is seed oil free. Based on all of that, I was a bit disappointed with the entrees. Their appetizers were my favorite part. The meatball is pretty great and the biscuits is actually the best I've ever had. But that's all I liked. The ravioli had a huge peice of fat in one of them that it was so hard, like a peice of bone with fat. I did mention this to the waitress who was willing to replace the dish but I declined since I didn't want to wait that long for another meal. However, I was disappointed to see they didn't at least discount that meal. Also, the vinegar was a bit overpowering that it made the meal a little cheap tasting in my opinion. My date had the Branzino and personally, it was pretty basic. That turned me off enough to not really want to come back which is such a shame since there aren't many seed oil free restaurants. Don't trust a lot of the reviews. It's all "hype".

    The biscuits were exceptional here and may have been my favorite of the whole meal. The wagyu steak was good, but I would have expected it to be more tender especially for the price. The butter on the side really made the dish. The mushroom pasta was also very delicious. The pasta was tender and the mushrooms were very flavorful. The dessert was a little disappointing. The banana bread split was cold. I would have expected the cake portion to be warm with a balance from the ice cream on top. The presentation with the sparkler was fun though. I am not sure if I would run back here, but I enjoyed it.

    I love a restaurant that is a bit discreet. No big sign out front and you're not sure if you're even in the right place. Welcome to The Ends. The vibe inside is energetic and classy. Great music, great decor and awesome service. The food is thoughtfully prepared and only with the best of ingredients. The drink menu is creative as well, no matter what you're looking for...There's something for everyone!

    Went to The Ends with my family and loved the restaurant from the second we walked in! No sign outside but The Ends symbol was there and when you enter you feel like you're about to enjoy a great meal in an intimate setting. Great place for friends to catch up, family to spend quality time, or to take the loved one! We started with the night with the Crispy Egg Yolk Nigiri which our server told us to eat with the Hamachi Crudo. The crispy rice, furikake and Hamachi paired perfectly together, this should be a required duo to have together. The Brisket Burnt Ends were also delicious and the dipping sauce they came with was incredible. Both handmade pastas were amazing, we especially loved the mushroom pasta, the pappardelle was perfection. Scallops were cooked perfectly and had a ton of flavor to them and paired well with the mushroom risotto. Can't wait to go back!

    Mushroom pasta, edamame, bison ribeye
    Brooke K.

    Very solid meal! Nothing life changing but highly recommend getting a pasta and the Brussel sprout salad. Dare I say the salad was our favorite bite! Bison ribeye was good - somewhat lacking flavor. Hamachi also a great appetizer. Liked the ambiance - nice but upbeat inside. Tables are really close together which isn't totally ideal. Solid service as well! Always appreciate no seed oils as well.

    I loved everything about The Ends! The dim lighting, good music, great staff, and delicious food. We started with Tommy's Biscuits and Burnt Ends. Lots of good apps to choose from here! Since it was Tuesday, the Taco Board was available which can easily feed 4 people. Not captured was the delicious Beef Tallow Fries. Great place to check out when you are in the Scottsdale area!

    Are there dishes that are vegan friendly? Just worried about the food being cooked in tallow

    Is there a dress code? Anything NOT allowed? (shorts, hat, cap, tshirt, jeans, etc.)

    It's a trendier venue so I would suggest no caps and the nicer selection of denim and tshirts if that's what you're opting for!

    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.
