Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Desert Ridge

We had a wonderful experience! It was a Sunday night so the restaurant was not crowded at all. Very gracious service and the food and drinks were fabulous! Will definitely be back!

Great experience as usual. Steak,Sushi.or Seafood are all great. Service including the bussers is perfect. There is no better GM than Paul.

We recently moved to Scottsdale a few months ago, and were excited to learn of this new fixed-menu concept at Course, which some were likening to a Michelin-star experience. I can tell you Course more than lives up to its hype. My wife and I have been fortunate to dine at several Michelin-starred restaurants, both here in the U.S. and in Europe, and consider our dinner at Course this evening one of the top fine-dining experiences we’ve ever had. From the unique cocktails we enjoyed at the bar before sitting down, to the attentive and professional service, and of course through the amazingly creative and delicious menu items, we continued to be blown away by everything Course had to offer. We cannot recommend it enough. If you’re considering dining there, book your reservation ASAP. You will not be disappointed.

We had dined here 2 or 3 years ago and it was good. Now it is OUTSTANDING! Between 4 of us we had 8 small pates. The special duck salad of the day was so good. The focaccia unique dips, , the mushrooms had a fabulous earthy flavor to them. The crab stack creative and the dressing on the cherry tomatoes in the stack was very good. Duck fat roasted potatoes and Beef tartare were very tasty. It's hard to compare everything to what you already have tasted, so our last 2 items were our least favorite, but perhaps we were full by then? the Ribs & flatbread . Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the food and maybe a bit too explanatory about the wine. ( But better too much info than too little.) It's interesting that we had such a wonderful evening because our first impression was very negative. I had requested indoor seating on the app. When we arrived, the hostess tired to push us onto a patio table (it was cold out, even with heaters). When I said 'no, we requested inside' she made a big huff, took us to our table (3others available inside too) and dropped (threw) our menus down. Not a word about 'enjoy your meal or anything, no eye contact or smile. . She is not doing this place any favors being the first encounter your guests get.

Fabulous! This is a true gem of a restaurant. Our server, Dirius (sp?) was absolutely hilarious with his unusual style of greeting and making us feel welcome. The food was outstanding and prepared perfectly. This a sincere 5 star experience and worth waiting for to get the right reservation time. We will be going back :)
