HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Located along the "Scottsdale waterfront" (i.e. canal) this is among one of my favorites. This is by far one of my favorite patio locations in Scottsdale. Whether you are there on business or pleasure, it's hard to go wrong with Olive & Ivy. The wait staff is very attentive and accommodating.
The menu at Olive and Ivy is simple and straightforward. Their small bite offerings allow a solid taste of several different flavors. Most of the dishes appear pleasant to both the eye and the palette.
Do yourself and your stomach a huge favor... enjoy their weekend brunch sometime sooner than later.
Seasonal warning: when I was there last week, the noise on the patio was pretty bad. I believe they are prepping along the waterfront for the NFL Super Bowl, at least according to the waiter. Just outside of Olive and Ivy's patio was a very loud, BEEPING front-end loader making all kinds of noise. We hardly noticed... I SAID, WE HARDLY NOTICED :) Regardless, I'll still go back time and time again!
