Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Queen Creek

I believe that I have never visited a restaurant that is more satisfying than Palma Kitchen and Tap. Everything there contributes to a pleasurable, relaxing experience for my wife and me. In addition to great food and service, the restaurant is in a quiet location, has a great view, and is frequented by friendly respectful people. I have never been to a restaurant that has a better atmosphere.

This restaurant is a real gym! They have a beautiful patio with lots of flowers, umbrellas, and space heaters for the chilly nights. We ate indoors in the adobe main building because of the morning rain storm that passed through earlier. It reminded me of many of the buildings in New Mexico, where I’m from. The furnishings and artwork inside were gorgeous. We ordered off the brunch menu and found some very creative selections. The service was outstanding and we are planning to return in about three weeks. :-)

The Keg always has great food! We are never disappointed. The wait staff is very attentive & Chris, the general manager, even stopped by our table. The have that extra touch of making you feel welcome & comfortable. The filets are always delicious & tender. The sides are yummy & the Caesar salad is one of the best for a side salad. We would recommend, & do, The Keg for dinner & happy hour. The only issue we have is that the music is too loud for dinner conversation. We sit in a back booth to help but if you’re going for fine dining music a little softer & relaxing would be much better. Thank you!

Another wonderful dinner at Olive & Ivy! We ordered the crispy brussels sprouts as and appetizer and it was an excellent start. We also split a beet salad, and it didn’t disappoint for those who love beets. My wife then ordered the chicken scallopini and she loved it. I dined on the filet and it was cooked perfectly. The sauce was delicious and the scalloped potatoes which accompanied the steak made it a totally enjoyable meal. Service was again outstanding. Certainly will be going back during our stay in the Scottsdale area.

Great fresh food with an interesting menu. Love the guacamole that is made fresh at your table. It’s spendy but on par with most restaurant prices in the area. Friendly staff.
