    Sausage omelette
    Brooke F.

    What a cool spot! We came here for the first time right at 9 when they opened. Our server was so so so sweet and she took great care of us. The balcony/patio area is so beautiful with a great view of the tarmac. Watching planes take off while enjoying some coffee and an omelette is hard to beat. The food was incredible, everyone in my party enjoyed the food and we all thought it was reasonably priced for our group of 6. Will be returning for happy hour!!!

    This was our first time for brunch and it was packed. Service was a bit slow. Highly recommend coming later (in the day or later in the spring) to sit in the shade on the patio - otherwise you will be roasted in the sun! We had the Pastel Espanol (Mexican lasagna) the farmers market and the chiltepin sausage and cheese omelette and we all shared an order of French toast. The potatoes that came with the omelettes were amazing - the crispy ones were the best. The omelettes were good with well done centers. The French toast was definitely not worth the price charged. Just two large slices of weakly cinnamon flavored bread dipped in egg and sauteed, it tasted good yet felt like it was too small given the heft of the omelettes and the Mexican lasagna. Probably would return later in the season.

    Wow the views of the McDowells are great. It's cool to watch the planes land and take flight. Our service for 13 women by Stephanie was very good. My recommended tuna sandwich was tasty.

    volanti is an AMAZING spot for the ambiance!!! a great spot for happy hour (otherwise it feels way too pricey for what it is)! it was my first time here (celebrating a friends birthday) and we came in right on time to order off of the happy hour menu. i got their postcard cocktail and their short rib tacos. the drink was light and sippable and i was pleasantly surprised by the tenderness of the short rib and the overall flavor of the tacos. everybody in the group seemed to enjoy their food and experience!

    My dad was in town visiting and loves airports and watching planes take off and land. I knew this place would be THE place to take him. I was not wrong! The service here is incredible. Thankfully I had a made a reservation and we were able to be seated outside with a full view of the tarmac. It started to rain while we were there and the portion we were in was uncovered. Our server immediately came to ask if we were ok and we assured her we were ok. She checked in multiple times during the rain (mostly it was a drizzle) to see if we wanted to be moved. She was also just extremely personable and attentive. Probably some of the best service I've ever received. The location is unbeatable. It really is a fun environment to see all the planes and watch them take off and land so close to you. The food here is also delicious! I ordered a salad and it was fresh and tasty. Everyone else really enjoyed their dishes as well. I cannot say enough good things about our experience here and it was definitely the highlight of my dad's trip. Thank you Volanti for giving us a special memory to share together.

    The service was amazing here at Volanti! My boyfriend took us here for our anniversary and our waitress Kim was super sweet and attentive. She made the whole experience of our first time great. She chatted with us and checked up on us numerous of times. The starter meatballs and bread was delicious!!! The butterfly drink was refreshing, the burger though for $24 and no sides is pretty pricey. It was delicious but I would give it 4 stars. My boyfriend got the $100 burger and shared his sides. For a special occasion splurge that is worth it and 5 stars! We did get a bread pudding for our anniversary but it was not the soft, soaked in yummy bread texture that Im used to of a bread pudding. This was sort of rubbery and weird. Bread pudding would be 2 stars. I dont recommend that. The presentation was nice, the taste not so much. I loved how the restaurant overlooked the tarmac so you could watch planes land and take off from there. The location was beautiful. I recommend trying it out and I would definitelydome back.

    The butterfly

    Celebrated my boyfriend's birthday as he is a big fan of airplanes. This place did not disappoint! They had a special on Tuesday and Wednesdays, Date night. On the menu with the date night logo you can choose two entrees and a pitcher of one of their cocktails. This was so perfect for us! I got the braised short ribs which came with mushroom risotto. The meat was so tender and the risotto was so creamy. My boyfriend got the mediterranean stuffed chicken and it came with mashed cauliflower. The sauce that coated the chicken was so delicious! To go with dinner we got the saguaro cocktail which was slightly sweet but didn't over power our dinner. Then we ordered a second round of drinks. And I got the butterfly and it was exactly what I wanted. It was sweet, with a bit of sourness. Finally for dessert we got the butter cake. One way to my heart is this cake! It was creamy, sweet, and the richness of the butter was to die for! Our waitress was very kind and professional. She was attentive and always there if we needed anything. We didn't get her name, but she was very new, and very awesome! Towards the end of the night we were able to see some private planes land and take off which was great to watch. We will for sure come back to this restaurant!

    Adult happy meal with a view ! This was worth the price

    To start off, we're were greeted with a warm welcome by the hostess. Promptly seated with a nice view of the tarmac full of planes. Shortly after, water was placed and Kim showed up to take our drink orders. I ordered the "paper plane" my date ordered the "butterfly" both were great but the view made it even better. Kim ( our server) was just superb. She was a great face to represent Volanti. As I looked around to Guage the staff, they all seem happy pleasant. Thank you for making our anniversary such a great experience. Fyi-The food was great too!

    Hubby found this spot for lunch while we were visiting Scottsdale. There is a parking lot area for anyone dining at the restaurant. The restaurant itself is located upstairs, so either take the elevator or stairs. The service overall was great and the sight of the private planes taking off in the background was a neat yet bougie experience. We didn't have a reservation and were seated right away. We chose to sit outside and there were misters keeping us cool. Food was also delicious and decently priced for the area. We didn't order any drinks but there are a variety of cocktails that they offer. Overall not a bad experience and I would recommend it for anyone in the area.

    Meh. Fyi if you're going for Valentines, they give you a menu with like 5 boring appetizers and 5 entrees to choose from. I had booked it thinking it would be cool to try for a special occasion. I was talking up the short rib tacos big time so that was a letdown. I'm dairy free so my options were limited to a gross sounding veg tamale that was still over $30 (lol) or a $70 steak I wasn't in the mood for. Definitely skip on holidays and such because the selection put a damper on the night. Also got the most boring focaccia ever to start lol. Barely seasoned and one little bowl of pesto for 4 huge sticks. Ordered because reminded me of the perfect ones at Living Room so these were disappointing Server was great, younger kid. Chillyrita was one of the best cocktails in town. Free valet was a pleasant surprise- Jaiden was great. The host sat us outside and it was pretty cold.. the table behind us had a heat lamp so without us asking she said she'd go find one for us. Never came back. Asked the server about it and he said he'd check then I guess they were all used because he just never brought it up again lol. So we were ready to get out of there. Oh they also set up as many tables as possible for the weekend and they sat us with my partners back flush with the side of the patio door- like he could basically feel the door brush his chair every time it opening lol. Guy who seemed like a manager apologized out of nowhere and promised something but nothing ever happened with that ha. All in all I was embarrassed that I chose this place and talked it up to my partner for our special date night. Probably was cool to be on the patio at night but they sat us at a table where my back was turned to the runway so I couldn't even enjoy that ambiance lol Wow downgrading because I just looked at my louboutin! Their patio is a death trap it's like tiles loosely put together and in between them all is just wide open and I fell in one! Ruined a pair of $800 shoes I actually can't believe it! Oh also, didn't expect a song and dance but don't have a space to add that we're celebrating an anniversary just to make it like any other night hahah

    First time today and it was amazing! Go up and elevator to the 2nd floor and we sat outside and saw all the planes landing and taking off. My son loved it. The food was really good. Service was amazing as well. I will definitely be back!

    Awesome spot, great burger and bar. Always good service! Good spot to talk shop and get deals done, besides that bring the kids and sit outside

    Vegan tamales
    Marti P.

    It was easy to make reservations on OpenTable, but I was disappointed that I couldn't select outside. I noted that it was a birthday brunch, and the staff acknowledged it as we were seated, and our server knew about it as well and brought a cute dessert with a sparkler. It would have been cool to be outside, especially since we made the reservations weeks in advance. We got the hash, steak and eggs and chilaquiles. The steak and eggs came with a side of hash. We ordered a foccacia and hummus appetizer, but our meals came before the appetizer so we canceled it. The food was good, nothing spectacular. The drinks were classy. The vibe was cool.

    Ask the Community - Volanti

    Do you recommend reservations if just 2-3 people?

    I think it's always a good idea to make reservations just to cover yourself.

    Do they ever have live music, if so when?

    Hi! Currently, we don't have any live music for the start of the year. We will update our music plans on our website and social media accounts as soon as we have them planned! Thanks for reaching out!

    What time is HH and is it food options too?

    Think it was 3-6, and yes, it includes both drinks and food deals.

    Are there any vegan options? If not, what is easy to tweak?

    They don't have vegan options but you can do substitutes. They are working on a new menu that is supposed to have vegan options. Their farmers salad is really good you can also get it without the goat cheese. You can also get the tacos and ask for… Read more

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 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.
