There are several good choices right in the area, Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland Commons and Eddie V's is among the best. I dropped in on a busy Friday during the week of the PGA golf event so the place was rather hopping. I was able to be seated at a high top in the bar and, a good place to be as the live music was a really talented piano player and supporting musicians. That fella years ago used to play at another nearby club (which I've lambasted for their lame live talent anymore) so GOOD FOR EDDIE V's for finding him. On to the food......
Oysters, very tasty and had a good handful of selections from both east and west coast. I had the east coast and apologies I can't recall the name, smaller but very good with the well-made martini and bleu cheese stuffed olives.
For dinner I was between the swordfish and the parmesan encrusted sole, and I chose the latter which was terrific. Not only well prepared but nice meaty pieces of sole. The brussel sprouts were a good accompaniment. The wine list is good and I chose Sonoma Cutrer chardonnay.
So if you want a seafood in the area, I choose Eddie V's. For steak I most often end up at Dominick's. Yum yum.
