Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Paradise Valley

What a wonderful place. We had a great meal. The short rib tacos are the bomb. Corn is a little pricy but very good. Overall a great dining experience.

Went for the fixed price Valentine’s Day special. The environment is so classy and elegant and romantic. The food was excellent, outstanding, fresh, …. There’s not enough adjectives to describe how wonderful the meal was. The service was outstanding and also very discreet. Water glasses filled promptly and our server came by to check on us throughout the night. When dinner was over I remembered the exact words he said. “Is there anything else I can do for you to have a perfect evening?” Yes the food is pricey but I will return soon because the overall experience is stellar.

We had lunch here to celebrate Valentines Day. We had the Dungeness Crab Salad, fries and 1/2 dozen oysters. We ordered the west coast oysters and they were delicious. The salad was generous, fresh with a light dressing. Very good. The fries were hand cut and fresh out of the hopper when brought to our table. One order was plenty for two of us. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. This was our first visit and we will return. Highly recommend Zinc Bistro.

My wife and I love this place, and the food is always solid when we go there. The price is not cheap by any means for the food, but I believe the value is there. Our server last night was exceptional, Curtis went above and beyond with every request and adjustment we needed. The one critique I would suggest, when using open table to book the restaurant requires a $15 per person no show fee, they should in turn give you a $15 credit for not having your table ready when you arrive. We booked for 8 pm last night and had to wait 20 mins to be seated, when first approaching the reservation desk we were ask had we checked in??? there is no QR code or sign for check in??? The hostess (Both) very rude and seemed over whelmed with doing there job! Usually a simple we will get you seated as soon as we can, and thank you for your patience goes a long way!! Instead we got rude and no communication

Our food was delicious and Owen our server did not miss a thing. One of the best experiences I have had at North Italia – Kierland Commons! I enjoyed the meatballs as an appetizer and the arugula & avocado salad with heirloom beets added. My guest enjoyed 2 bowls of the soup of the day and a caesar salad. As great as the food was, Owen's professionalism and attention to detail was the icing on the cake!
