| - We went to Orange Sky for our 34th wedding anniversary dinner. We picked Orange Sky in part because of the great view of the sunset. Unfortunately, it was a rare cloudy/rainy evening in Scottsdale. We started the evening in the lounge, which was very nice. Windows all around and plenty of comfortable, intimate seating. Drinks are expensive with mixed drinks around $15 and bottle of beer around $6. The mixed drinks were very good though and a reasonable size. You are required to close out your lounge bill before going to dinner, so I don't believe your lounge bill will not count toward the private dining booth minimum. I should also add that the live jazz trio in the lounge sounded very good and provided nice background music, not too loud. We then moved into the main dining room, which is nice with windows all around and a beautiful outdoor area, which you can visit during your meal. Overall the room was very nice, the tables were seated a nice distance apart so it didn't feel crowded at all. We had a birthday party of about 25 people seated next to us and we could still reasonably hear each other. The room did get somewhat uncomfortably warm during the evening, which detracted from the enjoyment of the evening. Service during the evening was very good, but not flawless. Our primary waiter was very nice and provided answers to our questions about the food. Our water was kept full without asking. We did have to slice up our shared appetizer and pour our own wine refills. And when the food arrived it was a bit awkward placing all the dishes on the table. the food was the highlight of the evening. We had two different entrees - wild boar ($34) and skirt steak ($29). Both were outstanding - flavorful and just as described by our waiter. I had a good sized portion of the wild boar, probably close to 10 ounces, which was tender and served with gnocci. We had three sides, the cauliflower gratin, the sweet potatoes, and the crushed potatoes. These were all good but not great, but were definitely enough for two as stated in the menu, and were around $10 each. Complimentary bread was also served with meal, which was good but just two types of simple bread. We had a bottle of wine with dinner, Fess Parker 2014 Syrah, which was very good and reasonably priced at $45. We did not order dessert, were given a small complimentary dessert in honor of our anniversary, which was very nice. I believe our total bill including pre-dinner drinks, wine, appetizer, 3 entrees and 3 sides was around $300 including tax and tip. Overall, it was a very nice evening and I would defintely return to Orange Sky for a special dinner.
