What People Are Saying About Az 88

In Short
Steep drink prices not withstanding, this contemporary restaurant is the darling of Scottsdale socialites of all ages. An expansive patio overlooks Civic Plaza's fountain and greenery, but the main attraction is the sleek, white-washed dining room featuring an open floor plan, picture windows, cool washrooms and quirky modern art (ever see a mannequin-head Christmas tree?). The attentive staff and an affordable menu of sandwiches, salads and appetizers make "AZ" the ideal pre- or post-bar stop.

AZ 88 is certainly a happening place. Seems like anyone who is anybody goes there. I like the food - lots of options, from fancy to plain. And yes, for some curious reason, you must check out the bathrooms. I've only been for lunch, but I've heard great comments about the nightlight and dinners there.

We decided to go AZ 88 after a recommendation from a friend. The setting is beautiful and the decor is modern and hip. We were unsure of where to go to put our name on this list and others were waiting in chairs in the front of the restaurant. I had my boyfriend approach one of the waiters to ask, and he directed him to a blond woman and she promptly pointed a table out for us. It seems like they don't have a set system for seating, so knowing this might be helpful on your first visit. They were busy and the tables are kind of jammed together, but comfortable enough. I didn't order a cocktail but a friend had a Mai Tai and wasn't thrilled about it. I ordered their only Riesling on the menu and it was delicious. The burgers were tasty, but the fries were my fav! They are waffle fries and the sauces served with are great.

When to Go:
The kitchen is open until midnight on weekends.
Know Before You Go:
AZ can be a little tricky to find given its off-street location on the west side of Civic Plaza. It's just north of the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMOCA) and east of Wells Fargo Bank.
Parking:
Try the free garage on Second Street (west of the restaurant).
