If you get the chance to try Course go for it. You won't be disappointed. The service was impeccable. Our waiter and sommelier were both great as well as everybody else there. The interior was refined and classy and was a great backdrop to delicious food. Every course was unique and different and I got to try food I'd never tried before. I can't wait to see what their menu is next season. read more

We went to the brunch on Sunday the cleverly call Morning Would. Service was impeccable and the space gorgeous. The first course was the biscuit and gravy take and was phenomenal. Frittata and quiche served back to back was a little similar... the following sous vide egg with smoked caper was delicious. The egg on top expertly and carefully cooked. Yolk perfectly runny. Chilaquiles missed for me and I was excited for it. Missed a heartier corn tortilla note. Corned beef hash plate was ok... but another sous vide egg. One is enough for me in the menu especially with frittata and quiche. This egg white was still a little gelatinous. Beignets and panna cotta passable. I'm sure better for those that have the sweet tooth I lack. Would try dinner here as I can see the skill, innovation and service but this menu was a little 'egg heavy one trick pony' for the price. read more

Wow. Just wow. North Scottsdale has a big hitter in the fine dining scene. And Course hit it out of the park in every way possible. The vision of Chef Cory has come to life in an exquisite setting with remarkable food and a warm, friendly and inviting staff. There's not one ounce of pretentiousness here. Make no mistake though, Course is fine dining at its best. The plating. The service. The food. Wow. The food. 10 course tasting menu. A PHENOMENAL wine pairing(if you decide to go that route). Although we did not partake in cocktails...the presentation of all that we saw was spectacular. Every dish was well thought out. Well executed. And the flavors? Again, wow. Just wow. Thank you Cory and staff. I cannot wait to go back. read more

We had a pleasant evening overall, thanks in large part to the excellent service. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and on top of the little details, like keeping our water glasses full. A few of the dishes truly stood out, and dessert was a highlight. That said, for an eight-course menu, we did leave a bit hungry. Some courses lacked the flavor or complexity we expected, and the ambience didn't quite match the fine dining experience one would expect--the casual decor and pop music detracted from the mood. The tightly packed table layout, while understandable given the small space, made the experience feel more cramped than cozy. It was difficult to have a private conversation, as we could clearly hear every word from nearby tables, and the lack of space led to some awkward interactions--like having our server's backside uncomfortably close to our faces while they tended to the table beside us. It's clear the team cares deeply about hospitality, and with a few adjustments to the space and menu, this could be a much more elevated experience. read more

I am very impressed. Our experience here was amazing. The food was top notch mixed with the best service we have experienced. The restaurant was very welcoming, extremely clean and had an amazing vibe. The staff were amazing and on top of every aspect. I can't wait to return. read more

This was a tough review to write because I was really hoping for a great experience. I visited Course to see if it would be a good place to bring my family for Christmas, but unfortunately, it fell short in several areas, not the food though, it was very good and beautifully presented. When we arrived, they may have been short handed at the host stand--no one was there, and it took a few minutes before a waiter invited us inside. We had reserved outdoor seating, which was nice at first, as we had the entire space to ourselves. The covered patio, surrounded by a mix of real and fake plants, could seat about 40-50 people. However, the experience was disrupted when cars parked nearby and their headlights shone directly into our eyes. A suggestion: adding more foliage at the far end to block out the parking lot lights would greatly improve the ambiance. Another issue was the mosquitoes, which made dining outside uncomfortable. Perhaps some citronella candles or other deterrents could help with this. Service was slow, both with drinks and food. The drinks, once they arrived, were excellent. The food followed a similar pattern--most of it was delicious, especially the cauliflower dish, beef, and fried cod. The presentation of every dish was impressive. However, the pacing of the courses was too slow, especially given the small portion sizes. By the time we finished a course, we were left waiting too long for the next, which affected the overall flow of the meal. While the chef's talent and the staff's friendliness were clear, I would recommend sitting inside for a more comfortable dining experience. Hopefully, with a few adjustments, this restaurant can live up to its potential. read more

So good we came twice! My fiancé brought me here as a surprise for my birthday & I loved every moment. We opted for the 10 course with the wine pairing and did not disappoint. The service was impeccable & we loved the ambiance. The complexity and variety of flavors for the dishes was wonderfully executed with each course. We met the amazing chef at the end of the night which was an extra special treat. While at dinner I learned they also offered a course brunch which sounded so amazing to me so I booked a reservation for the next day immediately. So many amazing flavors & the drinks got me over my hangover. I'm so excited to go back and bring friends so they too can experience this food art. Shout out to the entire restaurant because everyone was lovely & they certainly went above and beyond to make my night especially special. read more

Decided to have celebrate a special day by having dinner at Course and that turned out to be a wonderful decision. We were greeted enthusiastically and congratulated on our special evening, which immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. I was impressed not only by the food but also the attention to detail. Everyone was knowledgeable about each course that came out and also the wine chosen to pair with each course. The food was fun, visually captivating and delicious. We were there at the end of July for the summer menu and I can't wait to go back to see any is in store for the winter. The location was unexpected as it's in a strip mall that shared a park in. Lot with the movie theater so parking can be quite crowded, but once inside none of that was apparent and it didn't detract at all from enjoying the meal. read more

Listen, you just don't want to miss this place. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the food is not just good, it's a journey and the service is rock solid. The owner Cory is a friend I met during Covid and his in home dining literally saved us as it gave us the culinary experience we couldn't get when we were trapped in our homes. Cory has now taken this concept and opened Course. The Som Nick is extremely knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor and our server Dino was top notch. Seriously don't miss this place. If you are a goody you owe it to yourself to try it. read more

Holy hell this place is top notch!! We had the Morning Would 7 course tasting menu and every bite was pure bliss. It was the perfect amount of food, we both left stuffed. Our server Jacob was so well educated about the menu and answered every question we had, and we had a lot because everything was so unique. Plus the chef even came to our table to greet us. I don't know that I've ever had that happen before but it was such a nice gesture and added to the experience even more. I'm a vegetarian and they happily accommodated my diet. My husband is a meat eater and he was so happy the entire meal. He kept saying "this was such a great idea". Definitely the highlight of our trip so far. Every time we come to Scottsdale we will put this place at the top of our list. Our favorites were the corned beef, the Benedict, and the milk and cereal, though everything was absolutely fantastic. read more

My husband, son and I went to Course on Wednesday. Hubby and I got the 5 course and son got 10 course. The menu is the same for both. Only difference is on 5 course you choose between 2 of each of the courses and in 10, you get both. So hubby and I each chose the different items and we shared. The space is in a very strange strip mall. Across the way is a movie theatre. 2 doors over is a Hawaiian fish restaurant then a Massage Envy next door. Other side is a Pita place and pizza place. It is tucked in there and people walking by were rather confused. The space is open and flowing - you can watch the kitchen from your table if you stand up. The bar is open and fills most of one wall. The music was not what I expect for a fine dining place, it was techno and was not relaxing, but that's my opinion. We were the only table booked for most of the evening so the staff was very bored and refilled our water after almost every sip. Our wait person (did not catch his name) was very nice and friendly, we chatted a lot. My son works as a cook at Binkley's, the chef use to work there, so they chatted a bit. My opinion on the food. It was good, but each item was missing a bit of this or that - typically a bit on the salt, but again, my opinion. The strip loin was tougher than I expected, but tasty. I could have had 2nd on the chocolate dessert, it was amazing! The wine selection is top notch. The cocktails are good. I ordered the 1st one on the menu, it mentioned absinthe and there is only a spray of that liquor in there, not any mixed in, which was disappointing to me - I love absinthe (and anything good black licorice). They said they will change their menu seasonally, so I will check it out in the fall. I want to go back for brunch. read more

Small place in a strip mall. Very clean and not super busy when we went. Sat inside. Our waiter and service in general was phenomenal. The portions are small - really small. It's incredibly well thought out and some unique dishes. A very cool date spot. Big drink selection. Not sure that it would be great for a big party but a date spot yes. Expensive but worth it for a one time deal. read more

We have dined at course several times. You won't find better food anywhere. Service is first class and fun! Chef Cory is a remarkable chef and his menus are the perfect balance of refined yet fun. The restaurant is intimate with a beautiful open kitchen. I highly recommend dining at Course! read more

Exquisite! Every dish had layers of different textures and flavors. Each dish is small, but I ended up being really full after the five-course dinner. There is also a ten-course option with smaller portions but I don't know how I would fit all that. This place is really expensive and someone else paid for my dinner, but if you have the money I would recommend this culinary experience. The menu changes seasonally, and the service was phenomenal. read more

Course is a much needed addition to the fine dining scene in Scottsdale! To begin with, Course has a soft Mid-Century decor with a dressy casual vibe. Not stuffy at all and a great place for a romantic evening out. We dined inside but an outdoor option will soon also be available. The service was impeccable. If you left the table to use the rest room, a freshly folded napkin was waiting for you and dinner ware was changed at each course. Our server know the menu well and each of the ten...yes ten...courses was well presented and explained. And there was the food! Each course was outstanding! While everything was excellent, I liked the lamb loin the best. The portions were generous but not so large as to fill you up too much. Also, and this is important, the timing was spot on. We had plenty of time to enjoy each course without feeling rushed or like we had to wait too long. This is part if the "experience" that separates fine dining from great food. Even the check presentation was clever...a message in a bottle...nice touch! If you want fine dining, Course needs to be at the top of your list! read more

Considering all aspects of the restaurant with exception to service, honestly it was just okay. I would not recommend this restaurant unless you are not really that hungry and you want to spend 3 house enjoying very small portions at a high price point. In some situations, it may be perfect but if you have a good appetite, it may be a bit disappointing. Presentation was lovely however, the taste was not exceptional. Desert was disappointing as well. The ambiance was exctremely lacking and yes, to us that is highly important. We sat outside and it was a bit cool but turning a heater on was not offered (even though it was close by) nor were we asked whether we were comfortable. Now, last but not least the wine markup was ridiculous! $150 for a $40 bottle of Chardonnay. This is where I have a difficult time sugar coating the truth. Just unacceptable. read more

Excellent food and experience. This restaurant is located in a strip mall in Scottsdale. The menu is prix fixe, and I believe there were a couple options. I made my reservation online and was able to choose the menu, let them know about the allergies. Whatever I wrote, they were not able to ready for some reason. They called us day of to clarify and that nicely translated over to our server. I appreciate the continuity of service. About the service, they were super great. Everyone was well dressed, professional and nice. Everything was extremely coordinated. Every time they brought out a course, they brought out everyone's food all together and gave a brief description of it. They also made accommodation for preferences in our group. I learned that their menu is seasonal. Our server told us that we were dining on one of the last days of the summer menu. The food itself was delicious and decent portions. I've definitely been to other similar restaurants and left feeling hungry. I left Course feeling satiated and satisfied. We didn't drink any cocktails so I can't speak to those. They do have a wine menu. We did order sodas. Just FYI, if your refill your soda, they charge per soda. Interior is beautiful and very polished. My only complaint is that it is located in a strip mall so a lot of people were peeking in or people walked in mistakenly, thinking it was another restaurant. However, that's not enough to deter a 5 star review or stop me from recommending this place. read more

I LOVE a tasting menu! I had been waiting to go to Morning Would for weeks. Also, I personally think breakfast/brunch in Phoenix is not all that great so I was hoping with the $75 price tag I was in for a treat! Drinks: I don't mind the limited menu but they tasted like mocktails. They were all balanced well though. Snack course: I loved the hash brown and bacon jam. I want it now tbh. I also loved how they used chorizo, very AZ. The avocado toast was just cool. Lox & Bagel: it was at this point I was perplexed. The lox was cool but the ratio of cream cheese to it was comical and I thought it was not thoughtful at all. The two CRUMBS of bagel was disrespectful compared to that big piece of salmon. The presentation was nice but logistically it's not making sense to eat. The Rickey: I thought the ham was phenomenal and you could taste that brown butter! The plain scrambled eggs were most of the plate though. And they weren't really seasoned... again, balance. Chicken & Waffles: no notes really! It was cute. I wish this was the star of the show. Country Fried Steak: they put like a glaze of gravy on it so it was dry. Then the egg has such a fun texture but that wasn't seasoned either so it was really just the batter on the rib eye carrying the plate in terms of flavor. It was depressing after the waffles. Was I supposed to dip my dry fried rib eye in a season-less egg white? French Toast: that banana foster purée was so yummy, I wish I had more of it. Milk & Cereal: the panna cotta really tasted like a glass of milk. It wasn't really sweet or flavorful, I wish they had just the dust of the cereal and it had more spices or sugar. It was like the bold promise of flavor and my tongue were in a race and the flavor was just out of reach. I don't usually complain about price because food is an experience for me but If I'm paying $130 for just me, I better be singing praises. I also left still hungry? I would bring a sweater just in case because it is freezing in here (you can also ask for them to turn it up). The music isn't the best either. Our service was excellent though! read more

Great restaurant. Food and service were great. Cocktails were great too. I got the one that had tequila & lavender in it. We also added the wine pairing to the meal. I shared the wine pairing with my dad as it would've been too much wine for myself. I hope they rotate their menu seasonally & that this place stays in business. It was about a 3 hour meal. You must put a deposit down when making the reservation. The last dessert dish that they brought had a message in a bottle. The message had the check in it, which was funny, but also a bit tacky too. Instead of saying there is a note in there for us they should just say that the check is in there. read more

Just go! Went there for their take on a Christmas meal, and it was wonderful. Absolutely beautiful plating and unique new takes on a lot of classics. Wine pairing was very generous and some of the wines really were spectacular. Did a great job on the matching between food and liquor. Looking forward to going there for brunch coming up in another week or so for us and then a regular dinner. Definitely a great ad to the Phoenix market probably ride up there with the top 2 to 3 restaurants in the state. read more

Course by Chef Cory Oppold was one of the few fine dining experiences where the value truly matched the quality. The tasting menu was thoughtful, with each course feeling intentional and well-balanced. The food was prepared with care and precision, and small touches like keeping our glasses full and making sure we were comfortable really stood out. It's clear that every detail is considered. We'll absolutely be returning. read more

This place was simply amazing. Every course prepared to perfection, a delight to the palette..

Odd location in a strip mall but once inside the restaurant that feeling leaves. The first few items (I am delayed in reviewing so not current menu) were excellent (2 were amazing) and the rest were ok. Wine list was sub par (not great selections) and expensive markups which ruined some of the enjoyment factor for me as I ended up getting something that was average at best. Probably not a big deal of wine isn't important part of dinner - or can just stick to hard alcohol instead. To be fair, I need to go back and give it one more shot as I really do want to love it and maybe an off night. read more

Our first time here for brunch and it was beyond amazing! Every course was so thoughtfully put together, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We tried items we wouldn't normally order and loved them. Only complaint (not really a complaint lol) is I would love to go back and get a giant plate of the chicken and waffles. They were the BEST ever and I will never look at other chicken and waffles the same. Chef ruined us, in the best way of course. Place is very clean and loved the music during brunch. Cannot wait to go back! read more

The food and service were phenomenal. You can tell there was a lot of thought put into the preparation of the food and plating, as well as timing. The wine pairings were also spot on. My only criticism would be that when I made the reservation on line, I wrote that it was our anniversary and they obviously didn't see it. Would have been nice if they acknowledged it , like they did with the diners at the table next to us. read more

Literally the meal dreams are made of! I must admit, at first I was a little nervous of a 10 course meal since I normally do not eat a lot but truly everything was portioned perfectly and timing of each serving was impeccable! It never felt overwhelming. Our Sommelier was an absolute delight as well. He helped pair the perfect wines with our meal, which really accentuated the magic of each course. At the end of the night we even had the pleasure of meeting the incredible master chef Cory! Truly a night we will never forget. Can't wait to go again and have another magical food experience. read more

I've only done a few fine dining coursed dinners in my life so far, but this one blew me away. I'd done one at a Michelin star restaurant in France, and although that was a cool experience, there were several courses there that I hadn't enjoyed. At Course, EVERY SINGLE COURSE (I did the 10-course dinner) was phenomenal. I could have gladly eaten more of each course, as I enjoyed every single one of them. The various flavors in each dish really complimented each other and, I must say, it really was a party in my mouth. Had I seen the menu in advance, I would have been intimidated and not recognized all the ingredients, and there was one item I would have thought that there's no way I'd like. Well, that one item--the first course--turned out to be my favorite, perhaps in part because I expected to not like it, and I ended up enjoying it immensely. That surprisingly delightful first course was the Sturgeon Pie-- panna cotta with caviar on top. I don't like caviar, at least I THOUGHT I didn't like caviar, until this dish. I thought it would be fishy or salty, but it was neither. It was smokey, savory, and so delicious! I still am in disbelief that I loved something with caviar so much! All the other courses were also delightful, interesting, and delicious. The friends I was with also had foods which they THOUGHT they didn't like and wouldn't enjoy, and they enjoyed them as well. It's amazing how a great chef can take foods that you think your tastebuds won't like, and prepares them so well, accompanies them with the perfect complimentary flavors, and it ends up flipping your world upside down to where you realize that you do actually like that food! This dinner was a game-changer for me. I thought I'd done fine dining before, but I've never been so blown away by every course, and with everyone with us agreeing that every course was beyond great. The service was top notch as well. The wine guy clearly knew what he was talking about and had such fun facts about the different wines that we were trying. On that note, we did the wine pairing with our 10-course meal, although I'm also eager to go back and next time around try some of their unique cocktails, as they do have a full bar and some yummy tasting cocktails on their cocktail list. I love that with each course, we got new silverware as well. I can't even imagine how much silverware they have! You can tell it's good quality silverware as well, as it should be with this kind of dinner, but I've seen some restaurants scrimp on some of those touches. Course has thought through everything immecably, from the various dish/bowl sizes and styles to compliment each dish, to the clean new silverware with each course, to the folder napkin on your seat/lap each time you get up. The ambiance was wonderful. Despite being a fine dining 10-course experience, it didn't feel pretentious. The inside is minimalist/modern, and has an open kitchen concept. Thankfully, that somehow doesn't equate to it getting too loud inside this beautiful restaurant; you can definitely have a conversation with the people at your table (and actually hear what they're saying, as opposed to just smiling and nodding as though you can hear them). This is a fantastic spot to take someone for a special celebratory dinner; it's equally great for foodies accustomed to multi-coursed dinners--they won't be disappointed; it's also perfect for a business dinner or if you're just looking to impress someone (and to selfishly delight your own tastebuds in the process). I highly recommend. Oh, and yes, I left full. I had to restrain myself from licking the plates, as I know that's not socially acceptable, but gosh, everything was just so darn good! I can easily say this was one of the best, if not THE BEST, meal and dining experience I've ever had. I am super eager to get in on a Sunday afternoon for Course's special Sunday brunch, which they're calling "Morning Would." The menu for the brunch, which I think is around 5 or 6 courses, looks sooooooo tasty! I cannot wait to try it!! P.S. Unfortunately I didn't think to take photos of each course from the beginning, and also, my photos just don't do this place justice. You really need to experience Course for yourself. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

Ever go somewhere and overall it's OK, but there's a bizarre twist or odd occurrence that makes you reevaluate the whole experience? Well, that's the case here. 4 of us enjoyed dinner. Good service. Some courses were a hit, a few not so much as they looked photo worthy, but dint deliver in taste. But here's what stood out as messed up... My teen son ordered a Coke. By the 3rd course he had finished the soda (its a tall, thin glass, so with the ice, it's not much to begin with). Friendly server asks if he'd like another. He says "sure". We notice the bartender pouring his glass with soda from a Coke can. Maybe half a can to fill the glass. My son enjoys the new soda, and by the 6th course it too is finished and the server offers to refill. He declines. Then the bill comes. Sure, the meals and wine are pricey, but expected. But what rubbed us the wring way was that the Coke was literally $7... per glass! ​ No free refills like the rest of the state. No warning from the server or menu that sodas are sold per glass. Not even the can with the remaining soda was given to us at the time the glass was served. So we paid $14 for 1 ONE can of soda, split over the 2 glasses that we ordered. Talk about feeling ripped off! Besides an sports arena, who charges that much fir a soda???? Not $5, or $5.50 or even $5.95... but some fool said let's literally charge $7.00... each. The probably figured that no one would catch it until the final bill, since the soda price or no free refills isn't listed or mentioned anywhere. Well, you may think your greed is ok, and you were successful in robbing another customer who was already paying a huge premium to dine there But, the fact is that this ridiculous pricing sends a message that you're just picking jacked up prices out of your ass. You can TRY to create the illusion that your way overpriced doll house sized portions are worth it, but when you screw us on a can of 50 cent soda, that says it all. The scheme is over No one can justify that price, and it just cost you a return visit from our family of 4. Was it worth it??? ​ read more

I was spoiled with endless coursed options of every type of cuisine at my fingertips having lived in Chicago for 15 years- with the likes of Alinea, Ever, Moto, Charlie Trotters, Elske, Topolobampo, Boka, the list could go on. Atlhough, I am forever happy with my trade off from long, miserable winters to beautiful warm weather year-round, I have been left longing with restaurants that could remotely compare to this caliber after recently moving here two years ago. And Course has entered the chat... This feels like a little piece of home but with it's own identity. This is what Scottsdale has been missing. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the sleek, modern vibe along with the carefully crafted music to match the vibe. What I love most, is Cory has struck the perfect balance of upscale without the pretentiousness while masterfully showcasing his flavors in a playful way. The first dish really sets the tone of the entire journey and he nailed it with a gorgeous amuse bouche of sturgeon pie, and then he takes us through an array of beautifully balanced proteins and veggies all the way (I don't want to spoil all the details) to the ending of an umami-based mushroom dessert. I've never experienced mushroom used in a sweet dish before, and it really highlights his creativity and his understanding of perfectly nailing flavor profiles. Also, the service and timing was impeccable with allowing his guests to really enjoy the experience and not feel rushed. I cannot wait to return again with more friends and family as this is a showstopper and an unforgettable experience. read more
