Though Vegas isn’t all that far away, when it comes to gaming right here in the Valley, Casino Arizona is a go-to spot. With more than 900 slot machines and a selection of table games, they make it convenient to put money on the line in an effort to win it all back, and more. […]

Cask 63

The latest fine-dining addition to the Scottsdale scene is sleek and attractive, with a bustling dining room done up in a cool slate blue, gray, and beige color palette. Top-notch servers and a notable wine list are the highlights at Cask 63. The contemporary American menu features steak, chicken, and numerous seafood dishes, including the […]

Cat’s Pajamas Bistro

The former Razz’s Restaurant & Catering space at Scottsdale Road and Shea Boulevard is now Cat’s Pajamas Bistro. The eatery promises a menu of French, Italian, American, and Latin cuisines while the full bar is already known for shaking up classic American cocktails. Menu items include sandwiches and burgers like the Rocky and Bullwinkle Burger, […]

Chauncey Social

North Scottsdale’s most welcoming hotspot is Chauncey Social, set on Scottsdale Road just south of the Loop 101. Not only will there be craft cocktails and upscale American fare from Chef Joe Absolor, but also an indoor/outdoor layout and, apparently, a 10-foot-by-50-feet LED wall.

Chez Vous Creperie & Gelato

The French take their crepes seriously, of course, and Chez Vous is proof of that. Owners Sophie and Frederic moved to Arizona from France in October 2014, then opened a quaint crepe shop near Gainey Ranch. There, you’ll find 28 crepe options. Favorites include a savory combo of melted Swiss cheese, a fried egg, and […]

Chin Up Donuts

The female-owned Chin Up Donuts has opened its first physical location. The doughnut and coffee shop is located at The Promenade and offers signature doughnuts like Lavender Fields, Whoa Wasabi, and Whiskey Pigness.

Chloe’s Corner

Hot dogs with the works, grilled cheese and tuna melt sandwiches, hand-dipped malted milkshakes — retro Americana tastes pretty darn good at this cheerful little diner. Chloe’s Corner is the perfect place to refuel on comfort food amid a Kierland Commons shopping spree.

Cholla Prime Steakhouse and Lounge

An excellent first-date restaurant with fancy digs, fine dining and a bonus: for entertainment, an Elvis impersonator show next door. With dishes like elk, pheasant, grilled asparagus with prosciutto, and lobster and shrimp puff pastry, it’s a treat no matter the occasion.

Cholla Trailhead at Camelback Mountain

Usually, we’re with those Echo Canyon snobs who sneer at the wimps coming up the easier Cholla side. But this year, we’ve rediscovered the pleasures of Cholla Trail on Camelback Mountain – especially the killer scramble up the last fifth of the 1.75-mile hike to the summit. If you enjoy a hands-on hike like we […]

Chop & Wok

Chop and Wok is a rock ‘n’ roll-themed American Chinese restaurant that has been serving north Scottsdale for more than 30 years. The dimly-lit restaurant and bar feels like an ’80s and ’90s throwback, and the menu feels similarly rooted in old-school American Chinese take-out. You’ll probably want to skip the Pu-Pu platter – not […]

Original ChopShop Co.

The “chop” portion in the name of this fast-casual place of healthy eats in Old Town Scottsdale refers not so much to meats (although it has them), but to its handling of vegetables. Here, carrots, kale, cucumbers, and the like are pressed into juices, placed into bowls, and packed into sandwiches and wraps for a […]
