A new spot in Scottsdale, South Beach Restaurant and Lounge is tucked away in one of the many strip malls. A pseudo sushi bar, this restaurant has a little bit of everything. The atmosphere is nice however, there is a much older crowd for the Happy Hour/ dinner rush on a Wednesday evening.
The menu has a little bit of everything...but don't ask the servers about anything on this menu. It seemed to me that the servers were not trained on this menu because she had absolutely no idea. After deciding to get the soup of the day which was a Southwest corn Chowder and a half portion of the Ocean Drive Salad I was looking forward to my dinner (always hungry after working out!) My friend ordered the Shrimp parmigiana with creamed spinach. This took forever and a day to get. My soup was good after I added salt and pepper and the salad was also good but it was a typical bagged lettuce with added raspberries, strawberries (both were very fresh) and macadamia nuts.
It seemed that South Beach Restaurant and Lounge could have potential for a nighttime younger crowd. They definitely do have the space for them.
