I've always heard wonderful things about White Chocolate Grill, and now I completely understand why. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was exceptional--elegant, classy, and lit just right. Even though the restaurant was busy, the tables were spaced perfectly, creating a sense of privacy and comfort. The noise level was remarkably low, making it feel as though you were receiving your own personalized service. What truly set this experience apart was the staff. Every single person who came to our table was outstanding. The young man who brought our drinks had the biggest, sweetest smile--it was impossible not to notice. Our server, Dan, was everything you could hope for: attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our experience memorable. His recommendations were spot-on, and he even surprised me by bringing a chilled martini glass so I could refresh my drink. I've never had a server do that before, and it was such a thoughtful touch. I ordered the ahi tuna starter, and it was generous enough to be a meal on its own. The combination of the fresh tuna and ginger slaw was absolutely incredible--an explosion of flavors that delighted every bite. It was, without question, exceptional. My only disappointment is that I'm moving away and won't have the opportunity to become a regular. Bravo to Dan and the entire team at White Chocolate Grill. This restaurant is a definite must-visit, and I highly recommend it. read more

Had a reservation on Monday and were seated in a separate indoor room with a fireplace. Unfortunately, the table was extremely warm on the side closest to it... like uncomfortably so, especially considering it was 106 degrees outside. We asked if the fireplace could be turned off, and were told it was "just the pilot light" and that the heat was from outside air coming through. That explanation didn't really make sense, especially if it's an electric fireplace, and it left us wondering why the flue was open in the first place. Our server initially seemed a little annoyed when we brought it up, though he became friendlier as the evening went on. As for the food and drinks: the Gold Margarita tasted a bit cheap for the price. Once it arrived in the taller glass, it was clear the ratio leaned heavily toward mixer and sweetness rather than tequila, gran marnier, and fresh lime juice. It definitely didn't taste like fresh lime as advertised. On the other hand, my husband's espresso martini was absolutely fantastic. The standout dish was the filet special - rubbed in mustard and marinated for over 24 hours. It was excellent. The mashed potatoes were packed with flavor, and the jambalaya rice was tasty as well, though slightly cold. Dessert was an apple pie with the crust wrapped entirely around it, which we enjoyed. Overall, the meal itself had several highlights, but it was disappointing to make a reservation and end up at a table next to what felt like the entrance to Satan's lair. read more

We celebrated 2 birthdays here and they were very accommodating for our group. Every time I come here, my experience gets better and better. We were able to find parking and get seated right away. Glad we made reservations for our party of 7 so don't forget that. For our orders, we had burgers, salads, green beans, margarita and specialty drinks. My burger was cooked to perfection and they even bought out a sweet treat to celebrate my friend's birthdays! It makes for a great time with friends, special moments and family. The inside is like a nice calming atmosphere with dim lights. Highly recommend when in Scottsdale! read more

Great place with a nice upscale comfortable vibe. Had the crispy chicken salad and blue crab sandwich. Both very good. Chicken had a few pieces that were over cooked. Service was very good and Ariana was totally on point. Plenty of parking and handsome restrooms. All in all a great place for our lunch with friends read more

Always amazing food. I've had two of their salmon dishes in the past and they were both delicious. This time, I ordered the grilled Cajun chicken sandwich and subbed lettuce wrap in place of the bun. So good!! Carrots are yummy. My mom got the chicken crepes and I took the leftovers. Yum. My dad got one of the specials which was the blackened halibut. He said it was dry and did not look blackened. We also got the key lime pie with homemade whipped cream. Their staff is top notch here. read more

I've been to this Restaurant many times; ( I've never ordered a Cocktail prior, as it's always been for Lunch ) The Food is great, the Service is good, but the Cocktails are a JOKE! You have built a beautiful bar, with the show bottles, lighting etc. and you make a Cocktail that is quite frankly, a joke! a 1 oz pour in a 4 oz glass, with a Hugh Rock Ice in it, is NOT what's expected when ordering a Manhattan.... It's, quite frankly, an insult! When you bring a cocktail, NOT A SHOT, to a table and the tiny 4oz glass is less than 1/4 full, with a giant rock ice cube in it, and you expect a Customer to just live with it.... get some training and get real... This is NOT a Cocktail, it's an insult! I don't suggest any cocktail here, as you'll be disappointed; Given the Food and Service, a simple decent Cocktail, as what ever the fair price is, shouldn't be that hard; ( This appears to be the Accountant's recipe, as a Restaurant Pro would be embarassed ) Shame on you! read more

The White Chocolate Grill has been on my list forever and today my husband and I finally got a chance to dine in for lunch. Everything was delicious and the service was spot on! I was surprised how busy it was for lunch on a Wednesday but now I see why. All their dishes seemed consistently great and I bet you know what to expect coming in. I can tell they have top-notch training for all of their servers. While the ambience is pretty standard, the service and food were so good that I have to give it . I will definitely come back again! read more

Made a quick run to AZ to get our son moved in. Walked into this spot for lunch. It was busy but we were seated right away. Had a new server in training, but he did a good job and was friendly. We started with the tasty egg roll appetizer. Nice and crispy and full of flavor. We also had the BBQ Bacon cheeseburger and the Roast Turkey dip. Food was really good. Never had a roast turkey dip before but it was moist and a good combo. Good service and tasty food. read more

What an amazing dining experience! Quick summary with details to follow: Exceptional service, perfectly crafted cocktails from a beautifully curated offering, large whiskey selection with flights, artful food presentation of delicious food. White chocolate is featured well in desserts- so delicious. Very reasonable pricing For quality upscale experience in jeans. Okay- details. The vodka Martina made with Japanese vodka with a gorgeous twist. (Olives optional- opted out for mine). Described as served in chilled glasses and - wait for it- halfway through the meal and the drink- our fabulous server Ellie comes to the table with a second chilled glass and pours my remaining drink into it. Just wow! Personal preference of my brother-in-law was the mule was tasty but could have used more ginger beer. Brother delayed our meal by deciding from the great whiskey options and landed on the Weller flight- was not disappointed! Knowing we would have dessert we opted for no appetizers although the options were varied and tempting. Meals - special was blackened sea bass with coconut sticky rice in a ginger broth. Eyes were closed often by those eating this dish. Blackened salmon (chicken an option) with pumpkin seed pesto and broccoli on a bed of quinoa rice mix. Oh. My. Happy. Mouth! The broccoli had a nice light butter/oil flavor as did the rice mix. The salmon was so flaky and was a generous portion. A brilliant combination for the taste buds. Citrus soy salmon was flaky, soft to the knife, also generous, with a very light but tasteful sauce. Crunchy cucumbers on top created a sensory delight. Side choice was steamed green beans with cashews. Delicious. Chopped chicken salad. Plate full of all the fixings- crisp bacon, eggs, tomatoes. My brother in law asked for 3 sizes of ranch and Ellie delivered with a smile and full plate of ranch. Dessert- how to decide?!?' Not much room but we had to try desserts with the restaurants name. We chose key lime pie and the white chocolate cheesecake. Both were phenomenal! The key lime pie was so light and extra graham cracker crumbs were perfect for scraping the plate with every last bite. White chocolate cheesecake was a taste explosion of all things chocolate and creamy- perhaps less cheesecake tasting with the extras but oh so yummy. We had a reservation for 8:30 but when we arrived at 8:10 were seated right away. Every single staff we interacted with showed plate at serving us and talking with us. Ribeye- I could taste the juiciness and flavor even though I wasn't eating it! One sensational dining experience. A must if in Scottsdale! read more

Friends came in from Miami and were staying across the street. What a lovely restaurant. It really is decorated well and lighting was perfect. I ordered their Famous Chicken Salad (that's the name)and it was perfect. I did take out the raisins and I'm glad I did. It would have been way too sweet. I usually do not like cold chicken but it was sliced so thinly that it worked. My husband had Filet Mignon Salad and said he wished he would have ordered the salmon instead. I ordered the fries as I was curious about "fresh cut" they were very good. We ordered the caramel cheesecake and bread pudding. I only took a bite of the cheesecake - it was good - my friends and husband ate every bite of both I would bring my family when in town from LA. Service was very good and professional read more

Food came out in a timely fashion & everything was perfect. 2 of us had the Ahi Salad & 1 had the pulled pork sandwich, all were fresh and tasty! For dessert we had the Banana Cream Pie and the Bread Pudding both were delightful and we ate EVERY LAST BITE! read more

My husband and I recently dined at White Chocolate Grill and overall had a good experience. The salad was fresh, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the meal. Unfortunately, the honey roasted carrots were disappointing. They were extremely mushy and seemed overcooked, lacking the texture and flavor I was expecting. While the rest of the meal was enjoyable, I hope the kitchen pays more attention to the preparation of the side dishes. I'd still return, but I would probably choose a different side next time. read more

Took my wife and sister-in-law out for Mother's day. I have to say, when i walked in ... it was a mad house. we had a reservation and only had a 10 minute wait. My sister-in-law has gone through a great deal of trauma... and required a walker oi get to the table, easy and seamless~ regardless, we were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation once, seated... you would have never know they were busy. Our server, Jackson, was a rock star, and we had an amazing evening with GREAT FOOD, Greats SERVICE and maybe a couple of bottles of Silver Oak. Fantastic night!!!! read more

Popped in for a quick work lunch and it was great. It's a really nice ambiance inside and everyone from the hostess to server was so friendly! I wanted something light and didn't want leftovers so I grabbed a shrimp cocktail appetizer and one of their special salads which had corn, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, cheese and topped with a vinaigrette. It was soooo fresh and good! The shrimp was huge and tasty! It was honestly a great lunch and they had us in and out pretty quickly. I definitely want to bring the family back for dinner and I'm sure I'll pop in again for lunch! read more

We stopped in for lunch and as always, it was packed with diners. We were able to snag a table in the bar area which was perfect for us. I would recommend making a reservation. Our server Tru was excellent. He was very friendly, attentive and always approached us with a smile. We both ordered the Cobb steak salads. The steak comes medium rare which my husband prefers and it was perfectly cooked medium rare. I ordered mine as medium which also came out correct. The steak Cobb salad is delicious. You will not be disappointed if you give it a try. read more

This reminds me of a Cheesecake Factory! Upscale but casual at the same time. A good variety when it comes to many options on the menu and a bar you can have a drink at. I got the cheeseburger and all though it was probably the simplest thing they had on their menu it was really good. We also got the AZ egg rolls which I would give a 10/10 I was not expecting them to have a good amount of cheese, beans and corn in them. The jalapeño crema pairs very nice. The only reason why I'm giving it four stars is because most of their descriptions of the dishes don't sound all that appetizing so that's why I got a burger because I knew it would probably be good. For example, my cousin got the miso glazed salmon, and in the description it didn't sound very good but when she got it, it was actually very tasty especially paired with mashed potatoes. The server was very patient, especially because we asked him to come back multiple times because we had no idea what we wanted. If you do go make sure to make a reservation because it can get really busy, especially after 5 PM. read more

This place smashed my expectations out of the park...The salmon was incredibly flavorful and the sauce was rich. The servers were all so helpful and professional. The ambiance is so upscale but not in an intimidating way. I'd definitely recommend dressing up to go here, but the food is well worth it. Also, best cheesecake I've ever eaten...I'm DEFINITELY coming back with my wife next time I'm in town. read more

This is a place to go and people watch. The food and service are good, but the people watching is even better.

Had dinner with my work team and lucked out with Morgan as our server - she was amazing! Super friendly, really attentive, and kept everything running smoothly. We started with the artichoke dip and Southwestern eggrolls. Both were delicious, but the chips with the dip were a little stale - not a big deal, just something I noticed. For my main dish, I got the steak and shrimp combo with a spicy cream sauce. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the sauce had just the right kick. I picked honey-glazed carrots and steamed broccoli as my sides. The carrots were awesome - sweet and tender, but the broccoli was a little overcooked and didn't have much flavor. Now, the desserts... wow. We shared the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake and the croissant bread pudding. Both were incredible - probably the best desserts I've had in Arizona. The cheesecake slice was huge (way bigger than Cheesecake Factory's), and the bread pudding had that perfect mix of crispy edges and soft, custardy center. Just so, so good. The atmosphere works whether you're dressed up or keeping it casual, and the prices felt totally fair for the quality and portion sizes. Really great experience overall - can't wait to go back! read more

We have been to White chocolate Grill on several occasions. We enjoy their service service, the food and the ambience. We wanted to bring our out-of-state friends to experience the restaurant. We made same-day reservations in anticipation of dining with white chocolate Grill that evening. There were six of us. Unfortunately, our friends had an unforeseen event which precluded us from being able to make the reservation. We attempted to contact White chocolate Grill via phone and cancel the reservations. It was over six hours before the time of the reservation. The phone was not answered. So we got in the car and drove to White chocolate Grill and informed them that we would not be able to make the reservation. The hostess informed us that we would be charged eight dollars per person for canceling the reservations. There were no other solutions offered. We were charged $48 for the cancelled reservation, despite it being over 6 hours before the reservation. There was plenty of time to mitigate any potential damage by having someone else take the spot. It was a very disheartening experience, and we will consider it when making dining reservations for our next out of state visit by friends. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped by here recently after range shooting nearby. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. We come for the homemade salmon dip, unfortunately they sold out by the time we got there. The queso dip was our alternative. The chips were large and warm. The dip ended up being a spicier than expected. Perhaps we got some seeds of the jalapeño. The AZ egg roll were very per usual with a salsa and one "ranch" dip. The burger was really good and cheesy. Big enough to share to leave enough room for dessert. The white chocolate brownie was warm which paired well with the ice cream, whip cream and chocolate chunks. There is a nice mix of casualness and a bit of fine dining. read more

Sooooo this review is on the Miami Beach salad. Yes a delivery. No excuse for quality control in the kitchen so if mgr is reading heads up. I've had this salad number of times. This time it had zero mango , zero pistachios , zero croutons. The few boiled shrimp had zero flavor plus they put ends of the lettuce in the box. Thoroughly disgusted with what leaves your kitchen. $30 salad ??!! Never again. Not that you give a s but you lost a few customers. read more

Realized something crazy while writing this review, I had my 1st Turkey Dip from here in June of 2005... that's 20 years ago!!! Man, I've been around for a minute!! Another trip for my memorable sandwich and this time everything was all good. I arrived just in time before the lunch crowd hits (so be mindful of what time you show up). As a party of 1, I opted to sit at the bar & the bartender/server pulling double duty did a great job to keep me hydrated & get me situated with my lunch. The Split Turkey Sandwich is still memorable... only knock was that I got some "sub quality" fries. Crispy, yes, but got a lot of crumb-style fries on my plate. (Same thing the last few times, which now makes me think, that's how it comes). I think the next time I'll shoot for something different on the menu... yeah right!!! haha read more

Took our mom to The White Chocolate Grill for her birthday. Jax, our server, was great -- friendly and upbeat. He even said, "Go ahead and pick a dessert for your birthday!" So we did... only to find it charged on the bill. Apparently, at The White Chocolate Grill, birthday desserts aren't a celebration -- they're a revenue stream. My husband's enchiladas were almost cold, too, so maybe they're saving on heat and hospitality. read more

I have to admit, the simply grilled salmon I ordered was quite possibly some of the BEST salmon I have ever had at a restaurant before in my life. Buttery, soft, smooth, flavorful, rich, melted in my mouth, it was pretty dang perfect! The ahi tuna on the other hand was fine, just kind of boring. I guess the champagne dressing I ditched would have "elevated" the flavor a bit. I would totally go back to this restaurant and order two salmon entrees, no joke! It was superb! Oh and the table ordered the white chocolate brownie dessert and according to my husband, it was spectacular. read more

I really like the White Chocolate Grill. The food is always good and the ambiance is always perfect. The service is impeccable. The side dishes and appetizers tend to be particularly good. The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 are the steaks. For the price point of the steaks, I would expect slightly better quality. Ive ordered both the center cut filet and the ribeye with balsamic glaze, in both cases the steaks were no better than a Texas Roadhouse or Outback steak, only $20 more expensive. Everything else is on point. read more

The server we had was amazing! We went for our bosses birthday. The food was good but I definitely would have ordered something else. I ordered the blackened sea bass.

Other entrees ordered were turkey sandwiches, roasted chicken, steak sandwiches, pulled pork, burgers, crab patties, and salad.

I really like this place but recently had a pretty bad experience. Made reservations and came here for dinner with my wife the day before Valentine's, as we had family plans the actual day of Valentine's. Knew it was going to be a busy day, which is why I made a reservation. Got there at 8 sharp and were told they were working on our table. No problem, I am not one of those that expects to be seated right at my reservation time, so could understand waiting a few minutes. We ended up waiting 35 MINUTES to be seated and had to check on our table twice. We were very close to just going to CFA next door. Finally, we were seated and the hostess said they would comp an appetizer for the wait. We were greeted shortly after and a note was left on our table that said "Free Appetizer". The waiter took the note and we ordered drinks and an app. Waiter was nice enough, no complaints there. Overall, the food itself was good. I would say above average. I had the chicken pesto and my wife had the chicken crepes. We considered ordering a dessert (we love their desserts ie white chocolate) but it was so late and we had waited long enough that we just wanted to go home. The waiter brought the bill and had charged us for the appetizer. So, we awkwardly asked for the appetizer to be taken off the bill as we were promised a free one for the wait. In my previous visits here, it felt like a special experience. This visit was much less than that and, sadly, we felt like we were herded in and out. read more

Will there be a wait? Possibly. Will the wait be worth it? Absolutely! It's very much worth the wait Took the photos of all the clean plates because everything was so good we couldn't wait to dig in and then we ate it all! Even the kids cleaned their plates.

Everything was simply amazing. Originally went here for 12 yr anniversary with the wife. Immediately upon walking in blown away by the service. Staff was amazingly helpful.

My bf and I came to white chocolate grill. "Fine dining" yeah right. I am so disappointed. The manager looked so unprofessional. They don't even have a dress code.

Anyone who knows fine dining - would not recommend. I'd try Luna by Giada, Kembara, Buck and Rider, the Phoenician. Anywhere is better than "the white chocolate grill" they've been open for so long I swear it's a money laundering scheme at this point. We will never be coming back here. read more
