The family-owned restaurant has an average five-bubble rating (similar to stars) spanning more than 800 reviews, according to its listing on TripAdvisor's website. Over 700 of the reviewers gave the restaurant five bubbles, or "excellent." Sixty-four of the reviewers rated it four bubbles, or "very good."

"Perfect for special occasions," "hands down the best restaurant!" and "expensive, but worth every dollar!" are just a few of the review headlines.

The restaurant serves a nightly four-course pre-fixe menu that ranges between $95-$185 per person. Wine pairings, desserts and add-ons are additional. Reservations are a must.

In 2018, the restaurant moved across the street to a larger building where it gained more seating, two private dining rooms, and a bar. It is located on First Avenue between 69th Street and Goldwater Blvd. in Scottsdale. View our photo gallery to take a look inside.
