    Service was awesome. Food could have came out a little hotter but overall tasty. Recommend the popcorn shrimp, 36-hour rips, pork belly nachos, fried chicken, and turkey pastrami.

    We had three dishes, pepperoni pizza, rigatoni boulagenes and the chicken Parm. The pizza was good. Thin crust, lots of cheese and a little kick to it. The chicken Parm was very big, cooked perfect.the only thing needed was a bit more of the red sauce on the pasta. The rigatoni was very good and had a little kick to the sauce. The portion was on the smaller side. Our Waitress was great and she bought us dessert for our anniversary.

    We were celebrating our anniversary and it couldn’t have been better. When we arrived there was an anniversary card on our table signed by everyone. We started with a crab cake and a bowl of butternut squash soup with a duck confit ravioli. Both were delicious. For the main courses I am very excited that right now Osso bucco is back on the menu. It is one of my all time favorites. There was a grouper special that was incredible. For dessert we finished with chocolate bread pudding and had dark chocolate blueberry ice cream. Fantastic and highly recommend this restaurant. It is our favorite in Phoenix.

    Great find in Scottsdale! During an overnight stay in Scottsdale my wife and I were attempting to find seating for dinner on Christmas Eve. We originally booked another restaurant then made the call to switch to Grassroots even though the only seating available was on the patio. We were not disappointed. The Noble bread service was a great start and the soup of the day, a chicken broth type soup with poblano, jalapeño and other seasonings, was exceptional! My spouse had the Waldorf chicken salad, also very good, and the shrimp and grits, an unusual choice for me, was quite delicious. We ended our meal with their key lime pie, and I would highly recommend it. All in all, Grassroots was an outstanding experience - great service, great food and nice atmosphere.
