Last weekend Remington's Restaurant and Lounge at The Scottsdale Plaza Resort offered its final service after three decades on the Valley's fine-dining scene.

Long a destination for holiday meals, jazz concerts, and even high school proms, it may be fitting that after a summer of renovations the space will be reopened this fall as a special events venue for both in-house guests and the general public.
