I cannot wait to go back here again on a Friday night, specifically at 9:30 which is when I heard they do their fancy ice machete show.
We (me and 5 of my friends) spent a lovely Sunday afternoon at Roka Akor. It was the launch of the hottest new beauty magazine, Runway.
It's international but housed in Scottsdale and the Fashion Director is my friend Susan Di Staulo. They had two fashion shows in the main dinning room featuring clothing from local boutiques.
They brought samples to our table all afternoon and everything I tried was fabulous. The calamari was to die for! It was some of the best calamari I've ever had. I'll admit I like my calamari lightly battered with no added zing, and lots of lemon. This calamari had some subtle spices added, I couldn't quite figure out what the flavors were but it was delicious. Definitely not too much, AND they were lightly battered!
The scallops were excellent and so was the spicy tuna roll.
The decor of the restaurant was sleek, modern and eco friendly. Their bathrooms were amazing and had two different flushing buttons. My friends and I assumed they were for #1 and #2... save water with #1...?
The colors of the restaurant were warm and inviting and the drinks were excellent! We had bellini's with saki and a mixed berry juice. So wonderful. We also had saki and white wine...
Like I started this review off, I cannot wait to go back!!
