    Every single staff member I interacted with was so personable and welcoming. It was such a nice experience, especially for being new. Thank you for hiring great people! The host made nice conversation walking us to the table, the server was a so nice and you could tell it was genuine. Her name was Elizabeth I would absolutely ask for her if you visit. The food came out at a nice pace, and the pricing was very reasonable! Absolutely had a wonderful experience and will be back

    Mahi Mahi tacos were absolutely delicious, probably our favorite of the night. We also really enjoyed the eggplant, steak, happy ending sushi roll, guacamole, Margherita's, Mojito and for dessert we had the sticky toffee cake, so much yumminess in one night we practically had to be rolled out of there!

    We celebrated my husband’s birthday on Christmas Eve. Everything was wonderful. We had the branzino fish. It was prepared exceptional. Our waitress was very efficient and endearing. The last thing I would mention is the noise level. So many restaurants in Scottsdale play very loud music which brings up the level of sound to make it unable to talk to someone sitting right next to you. Ocean 44 was perfect. We could slightly hear the music but enjoyed talking to each other
