Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Beginner's Luck offers a charming dining experience with "excellent service" and a "delicious" menu. Guests rave about the "fantastic" chopped salad and "unique" burrata. The outdoor patio is a highlight, especially during good weather. While some found the menu limited, the friendly ambiance and attentive staff make it a delightful spot to revisit.

Lovely, classy, quiet patio in the middle of Old Scottsdale. All four of us had the burger which was exceptional. Fries were fine (not amazing) and the brussel sprouts were unique and delicious. Will definitely go again.

First time eating here, though we've been often to The Gladly and Citizen's Public House. I ordered the burger which I found very disappointing. First time out, tepid temp, unmelted cheese. To his credit our waiter took it right back to bring me a new one. This one was certainly hotter, but the taste, texture and thickness of the burger was disappointing, certainly when compared to comparably priced places - I'd note that I really have enjoyed the burgers at Public House. My wife ordered the special and was pleased overall. The restaurant is very, very casual.

Food was a little disappointing but not bad by any means. Cute spot, servers were sweet and competent, kitchen and bar were crowded with servers which makes it seem disorganized and takes away from the elegant indoors.

We were pleasantly surprised with the ambiance sitting on the patio. They didn't rush us and checked us in at a good pace. The service was good, and the detailed description of the food choices and quality was excellent, especially the sweet choices! Overall, a good time was had by our party of four. Booking well in advance recommended.

Great as expected. Menu is limited, perhaps mostly by my food allergies but still enjoyed what I was able to eat. We got to sit inside with doors open (February) so temp was great. Hoping it's cooler this summer than last.
