Best Family Style Restaurants in Central Scottsdale

Really enjoy the food at Sumomaya- so many great options. Started with the ahi tuna tostada which was yummy, and the pomegranate guacamole was outstanding. First time trying kimchi fried rice to which we added chicken, and it was terrific. Lots of sushi completed a great meal. The restaurant IS noisy and the hostess found us a place that was relatively more quiet.

From beginning to end, our experience with Steak44 was amazing. We celebrated our 3rd anniversary here and they treated us as if we were the only couple in the whole restaurant, despite the moderate amount of noise. It all began a month prior when I was contacting the team to plan out our evening, asking for seating that could facilitate an intimate setting for my wife and I. We found out that they ended up sitting us in a booth that had a view of the kitchen! Hazel even followed through with placing rose petals on our table prior to our arrival. Made me feel like I was husband of the year planning this out lol Food was spectacular as expected, and our waiters (Nick and Giovanni) assured that our drinks were full and made recommendations for our entrees. My wife got the Scottish Salmon and I got the 45 day dry aged rib eye w/ 3 sides. Our eyes got bigger than our stomachs and we ended up taking a lot of food home, and they even comped our desert! All in all the team performed amazingly that night, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Husbands, take note: with a little bit of planning they can help you take a dinner night out into stories your wife will brag about to her friends. Thank you everyone for your help making our night unforgettable.

Met some friends for dinner. We enjoyed a cocktail at the Bar before we were seated. The service was excellent. Once seated our server Evan was amazing. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and was attentive. The food was really great. I had the Shortrib with a side of Polenta. Absolutely delicious. They had an extensive Wine list with some of our favorite Italian wines. We're definitely returning and requesting him as our server.

Everything we got was delicious and our waitress was so kind and helpful with recommendations! I will say the tables around the room felt cramped because we were sat right next to people on either side of us and it was very tight. Other than that, service was great. We enjoyed the whipped eggplant, ceasar salad, soprassata pizza, Bianca pizza, vodka pasta, and the pavlova. The pavlova was unexpected- slightly sweet and sour with different textures. Definitely will be back.

We were impressed with the wonderful service from start to finish of our delicious meal. According to our son, who is a fan of fresh fish- “The fish was cooked to perfection and is the best seafood I’ve had in Arizona”. My husband and I shared the wedge salad, 22 oz 45 day aged prime rib & we indulged in the family style sides: sautéed mushrooms, creme brûlée corn, stuffed hash browns & Mac n cheese. We had a lot of food for the 3 of us , and no regrets. We shared a bite of the key lime pie at the restaurant- which in our opinion beats the many key lime pies we have tried in Florida. We took home a coconut cream pie- it was incredible. We now have to get back on our diets after enjoying this feast. What a great experience. We would highly recommend Oceans 44.
