Like most hotel restaurants, it was good but not super creative. We started with our free gondola ride, which is a nice extra of the meal.
They have a really creative drink menu. I ended up ordering a drink with Campari and carrot puree, which was delicious.
We ordered:
-Baked buratta: saffron tomato sauce, walnut basil pesto, grilled noble country bread: I really liked the grilled bread touch. Flavors were on point.
-Grilled ahi tuna over a sweet potato purée, arugula and oyster mushrooms: this was my friend's dish ans she enjoyed it.
-Black cod: charred tomato relish, parsnip purée, salsa verde, preserved lemon-fennel salad: the fish was cooked perfectly and the parsnip puree was unique. The salad was also a great flavor.
-Chocolate hazelnut mousse cake: gianduja mousse, chocolate brownie crust, chocolate glaze: a good dish for chocolate lovers
The dishes here were tasty but perhaps a bit small. I could have used more food.
The service here is excellent and overall, Alto added to a good stay at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale.
