Fantastic food. A little loud for our taste but overall has a fun Vegas/night out vibe and the food was outstanding. We got the whipped eggplant, vodka sauce pasta, the Iberico pork, and pistachio sundae all of which were excellent. Truly hard to find a spot where every dish exceeds expectations but they did it! We will be back.

the ibérico pork is a seriously phenomenal dish. it is crispy and sweet on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside (just a little too salty but the tastiness of the rest carried the dish). it is served with a creamy cauliflower puree and the pairing is just :chefs-kiss:. our server Taylor did a great job. overall I'm super impressed with everything. The only issue I found with the place is the fact that it was incredibly loud, it was very difficult to hear my party

Omg this place is AMAZING. Hands down our favorite meal in Scottsdale. Definitely make sure to make a reservation in advance. I saw this place on an article titled “prettiest restaurants in Scottsdale” as well as “best restaurants in Scottsdale” both proved to be true. It seriously is beautiful both inside and outside. They have a huge drink menu filled with so many fun drinks everyone is sure to find something they like. They also have great appetizers. We got the octopus which was so good omg as well as the meatballs. For our meals we got some fish, some pasta, a salad, steak, we basically tried all categories. Everything was seriously so good. Our waiter was very bubbly, energetic, and attentive. She made sure we had a great meal. For parking you can either valet or park in the crazy and busy parking deck. We will 1000% be recommending this place and coming back on our next trip.

The rundown…
Insalada Verde light and refreshing crunch
Cacio e Pepe is so worth it (went back to back nights to get it)
Scallops are too rich but still a sweet flavor profile
Broccolini over asparagus but both good
Tiramisu and espresso martinis 😍 they will even do decaf martinis

I went to Elephante for the first time and while I’m sure it would absolutely thrive as a girls’ brunch spot where no one is in a rush and everyone already ate beforehand… my experience was, underwhelming.
I’m certain the only person actually working was the water guy. When our water ran out 4x before our waitress stopped by to grab our orders he was on it immediately. Our waitress made an appearance maybe three times total, spaced out by about 20 minutes each, despite us clearly waiting patiently looking around ordering drinks and then food. Every interaction required me waving her down.
I ordered the Red Bull “spirit” drink and it was genuinely bad. The food came out reasonably fast, but when it arrived it was fine. For dip and bread at the price point, I expected more. It was fine and the texture wasn’t my ideal but the flavor was good.
As for the vibe: it felt oddly undecided. Not themed enough to be immersive, but somehow designed to feel like you’re sitting outdoors while very much indoors, which translated to not particularly comfortable. Cute for photos, less cute for actually sitting there and eating.
Overall, I left highly disappointed and fully ready to eat literally anywhere else. great aesthetic potential, but not where I’d go if I actually wanted to enjoy food, drinks, comfort, or service. The meal ended with our waitress saying “have a great life” three items came out to $54 and a waste of my time. But I guess I will try
