| - After having attended a Yelp Elite Event at the Canal Club a few months ago, I decided to celebrate my birthday here. I was so impressed by the trendy Cuban decor and hand-crafted drinks, that I couldn't wait to find a reason to come back with my friends. Needless to say, I think my friends were equally impressed.
For my birthday celebration, we reserved a table for 9 in the dining area for dinner. Because I am trying to watch what I eat, I ordered the Gaucho Steak Salad. As I watched my friends drool over their Cuban sandwiches and fries, I thoroughly enjoyed my salad and didn't feel extreme guilt afterwards. After feeling proud of my somewhat healthy entree selection, our wonderful server Will, brought me out a surprise dessert for my birthday, the Tres Leches Jar (AMAZING coconut goodness). It was well worth the added calories. After dinner, my friends and I headed to the super chill lounge area for drinks. It was a great place to sit, relax and chat with friends without the loud, crowded atmosphere of a bar/club. Did I mention this place is located inside The Scott Hotel? You would never know it's here unless you heard about it from friends or Yelp. I feel like The Canal Club is a little hidden gem in Scottsdale.
The only minor negative to the night was that the service was kind of slow. However, I sense the staff really takes their time to make sure your food and drinks are perfect.
P.S. Ladies, make sure you check out the restroom. There's cute wallpaper in there begging for you to take selfies with it.
