- EElizabethVIPGreater Boston •22 reviews5.0Dined todayThe food was outstanding, and I would highly recommend it. Our server recommended the popcorn shrimp to start, and the spices and sauce were out of this world. Ditto for the cauliflower. We then got an Asian crunch salad with chicken to share (and without asking, the waiter split it in two - very sweet) and an order of garlic-oiled bread. Overall, we couldn't have been more pleased with the meal. Our waiter was just the right amount of solicitous. Our only negative was the noise - it is a bar-type place so not surprising and don't hold it against them but if was warmer, next time we will eat outdoors to have less noise.More infoCulinary Dropout WaterfrontPrice: Moderate• American• Old Town Scottsdale•4.6

- AAlisonVIPPhoenix / Arizona •15 reviews5.0Dined todayThe entire experience so completely captured Bourdain’s spirit. His chaos and his genius along with his passion for exceptional flavors.

- WWillVIPPhoenix / Arizona •14 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoOverall good value for fine Dining establishment. Two standout aspects, that you don't see much these days, was a live music performer in the bar/lounge, and an attendant in the Men's Restroom. Only minor nitpick I have was that the bartender staff did not introduce themselves by name when I sat down.More infoMastro's City Hall SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Old Town Scottsdale•4.6
- MMarkVIPPhoenix / Arizona •92 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe thoroughly enjoyed the "Steak Night" (or also called "Date Night") menu at STK. It's a great deal! 3-course menu for $69 per person including a bottle of Prosecco. We both had the shrimp cocktail appetizer which has 5 huge shrimp. For entrees we had the NY strip steak and Chilean sea bass - both exellent and enough to take some home. For dessert we shared the "Bag O Donuts" - loved the chocolate and caramel sauces. We also had excellent service. If you're in Old Town Scottsdale on Sunday-Thursday, definitely consider this great deal, BUT be sure to ask for it.More infoSTK - Steakhouse and RooftopPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Waterfront•4.2
