| - Though I have been to the Talking Stick Resort and Casino and its restaurants several times, I have never had the pleasure to eat at Orange Sky. Orange Sky is certainly fine dining at its finest with an amazing sunset view! It's on the 15th floor of the resort and has huge floor-to-ceiling windows for the views. In fact, Orange Sky has a 360 degree view of the Valley of the Sun, so walk around the restaurant before or after your meal to see the different views. My girlfriend and I were invited to join my parents for my mother's birthday. The experience and yes, the food and drinks were all incredible!
To celebrate a special occasion, we reserved a private dining booth for the four of us. It was comfortable with pillows, a glass wall to see the view of Scottsdale and the sunset, a wall behind us, and curtains on either side. I learned later that minimums apply when you reserve a booth. It was certainly worth it though! Other spaces available for reservations include the community table, the wine room, the chef's room, the patio, and cocktail reception areas.
After we ordered drinks, we decided we wanted to order a shared plate for the four of us. While we went back and forth between the Artisan Cheese Board (seasonal variety of cheeses, local honey, bourbon cherries, and macron almonds) or the Nosh Board (aged cheddar fondue, artisan cured meats, and vegetable pickles), we eventually went for the Artisan Cheese Board, as each of us was excited about something else on the board. When it was time to order our food, I ordered the Mesquite Rubbed Organic Chicken with sorghum, golden raisins, tot soi. My three guests each ordered seafood dishes: (1) Georges Bank Diver Scallops with avocado, chile-miso butter, (2), Skuna Bay Salmon with cedar roasted, mustard gremolata, and 3 Shrimp & Scallop Steaks, prawns and divers wrapped in jalapeño bacon. We also ordered two accompaniments: (1) cauliflower and aged cheddar gratin, parsnip and (2) green chile whipped potatoes.
That was plenty of food though the fun wasn't over yet! Our wonderful wait staff brought out a special dessert with some chocolate mousse cake, chocolate gelato, and berries in a nice display. The wait staff certainly made us feel valued, and I can see myself coming back again for another special occasion in the future. Unfortunately, as the prices are quite high, I cannot imagine myself eating at Orange Sky for a casual meal.
