Was here for our 18th Anniversary. Small intimate place with Exceptional Service. All waiters are Sommeliers. We did the 5 Course as the website was not clear that the 8 course was even available except on weekends so we did not even consider it before going. Each course was exquisite in its own way. And not your every day ingredients or combinations. Wine pairing at $95 was Very good and my wife is now on the hunt for one of them! All in all it was a great experience, but be prepared for a $300 minimum to easily $600- $800 meal for a couple.
This place is amazing! Especially considering it is located in a strip mall. The space is smaller so the tables have to be set relatively close to each other. This made it a little difficult to get in and out of the bench seating that most of the tables use... The service is excellent though I did wish our server was a bit more personable. He did his job very well, was very professional and proper but I wished he would have smiled a bit more or been a little warmer.. maybe it is just the mood the restaurant strives for? The napkins are changed every time you leave your seat to use the restroom...I am used to places refolding them when someone gets up but not replacing the whole thing. The food is extremely well thought out. The flavors blend beautifully together. Ingredients you never would have thought to put together blended impeccably well. The plating was beautiful each and every time. The mixologist was also extremely gifted. The drinks do not list all of the alcohols in them but they all work well and have a unique, balanced, flavor. The ice cubes are uniquely designed and are extremely well created. We had the 5 course menu and I had the Tom kha and venison for the courses you had an option. Would I go back? Maybe for the experience or to take someone who has never been. Are the portions enough for someone with a big appetite? No. Service/ambiance 4/5 Food: 4.5/5 Drinks: 5/5
My husband and I have never indulged in a prix fixe meal but we figured our 27th anniversary was a fine time to try one. We were intrigued by the Father's Day Menu which was five courses plus dessert and a mignardise. (A small, final sweet treat. Yes, I had to look that up!) I'll post a photo of the menu and just mention a few highlights, but the presentation of everything was beautiful and tasted wonderful. My favorite round by far was the third course: swordfish steak, cooked perfectly with a tasty sauce, roasted tomato and eggplant purée. Another course I enjoyed was the second: poutine. It looks very basic in the photo - just like a couple of simple French fries. But the crisp potatoes with the cheese, lardons, sauce and scallions all went together very well. The only dish I was somewhat disappointed in was the dessert, which was a PB & J creation. I love peanut butter but I was expecting more from a high-end, expensive restaurant. For what we were paying I'd hoped for something really elegant. It still tasted fine but was very basic. The service here was warm and friendly. We were greeted by a very nice host. We had a team of servers bringing our food - all very knowledgeable and kind. We especially liked our Fork Guy whose job seemed to be replenishing our utensils for each new course. He was sweet! So now the mysteries of the prix fixe meal have been unlocked. Even though the plates are small, I personally feel like it's a lot of food and left feeling extremely full and satisfied. If you want to splurge for a special occasion, check out their menus online to see if they suit you.
If you're looking for a unique dining experience ,Course with Chef Cory is it. I had the chef's tasting menu and wow!every dish was a masterpiece. The flavors were so bold and beautifully balanced, it felt like each bite took me somewhere magical. The cocktails? Unreal. Creative, smooth, and just as memorable as the food. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but honestly, it's worth every penny. Chef Cory knows how to turn a meal into an experience! There are plenty parking spaces as it's located in a plaza. The dress code is I would say business casual. When you go there be adventurous and definitely try one of their cocktails.
Course Restaurant exceeded expectations. My 11yo son and I went for a "date" over the weekend and had the best experience. Every course was delicious. Same with the drinks. The atmosphere blends laid back style with exquisite fine dining. We enjoyed the 2026 Spring 8-course prix fixe meal. We added the "Animal Fries," and subbed lobster and wagyu. We had the Radish and Toast, Fried Pickle, Peas and Carrots, Asparagus (sub lobster), Red Snapper, Poussin, Lamb Loin (sub wagyu on one entre), Blueberry acai, and Dirt Dessert were all so good that it is hard to choose a favorite. My son picked the wagyu & Peas and Carrots as his favorites. Not only was our server fantastic, but the GM, David, was also extremely helpful in making drink recommendations & talking to us a bit about the history of the restaurant as it wraps up 3 years of service. We even met Chef Cory who was kind enough to snap a pic with my son! Highly recommend!
I can't say enough about Course. The food is wonderfully creative and delicious, Cory's brunch and dinner creations are fantastic. The restaurant is cozy and inviting. The drinks are out of this world (Justin is a creative evil genius!). The GM Dave is the consummate host. You will never be disappointed dining here!
This was an experience. 11 courses and 2+ hours of dining. It was such a relief to have an actual pleasant dining experience, restaurants recently have been hit or miss. This is definitely a hit. If you love fine dining, come here. It's a seasonally rotating prix fixe menu where classic French technique meets culinary inspiration from around the world. The service is obviously impeccable, with your server tour guiding each course. There is too much to say about the food, but one thing I can say is you won't leave hungry. Although each course is small, the flavor experiences and multitude of courses make up for it. The stand outs for me were the cauliflower, fish and chips, and the steak. If you have a chance to experience this specific menu, take the opportunity. All in all, it's 190$ per person not including beverage choice. If you're looking to impress, this is the place for you. We spent spent close to 500$ (with tip and drinks).
We made a Fri night reservation so we could have the 10 course meal. Not every dish is going to hit perfectly, but it was a fantastic experience. My husband and adult son were with me and we each had our favorites and our least favorites - and they definitely weren't the same! The service was impeccable and the experience was fantastic.
It pains me to write a review like this but I deem it necessary. Went to course this past Saturday with my wife as we were intrigued by the idea of doing a courses out meal. We've had excellent experiences at other places like Cafe Monarch that offer the same type of experience and was hoping to replicate. Unfortunately, course fell short of the mark. There were positives and negatives, but in the end the experience did not live up to the hype or the price. The service was great. All staff members were friendly and knowledgeable on the dishes. The drinks were very good, though we had 4-5 of the melon-infused vodka drinks and felt practically nothing so it seemed a bit light on the alcohol. We sat on the patio which was lovely. But at the end of the day, there was two key factors that were a big let down. First and foremost was the food. Of the 10 courses we had, 3-4 were good. The rest were either just "ok" or just not good. The second issue was the spacing of the courses. There was a lot of downtime between courses. We spent almost 3 hours at the restaurant and were pretty much over it by course 5 or 6. We've eaten at top restaurants all over the world, from Paris to Tokyo to NYC and beyond, and this was the single most expensive meal we've ever had. Perhaps it was an off night? Not sure, but for the price every aspect should have been exceptional, and it just wasn't.
For my dad Ken's 71st birthday, we booked a dinner at Course, a modern tasting-menu restaurant in Scottsdale that brings serious fine dining energy without feeling stuffy. The sleek patio dining area is shaded, surrounded by greenery, and has overhead misters that kept the Arizona heat totally manageable. We were comfortable the whole night, even as the sun set and the multi-course magic began. Now, before we get into the food, let's clear something up. Yes, my dad and I get mistaken for twins. He's 71 and somehow still aging in reverse. No complaints though, we'll take it. The $175 tasting menu was flawless. Every plate was beautifully presented and came with a clear, thoughtful explanation from the staff. They handled dietary preferences without a hitch. My mom skipped the raw oyster, and I passed on the strawberry and rhubarb dessert. The kitchen adjusted everything perfectly. Oyster with caviar, crème fraîche, and grape was a briny, silky opener with pops of acidity and richness. The swordfish with guacamole and aguachile came next, smoky and citrusy with guac foam for a fun twist. The manicotti with sea asparagus and lemon-garlic cream was rich but bright. The pasta was delicate, and the lemon cut through just right. English pea risotto with chicken oyster and hen of the woods mushroom was creamy, savory, and earthy with crispy mushroom for contrast. The white sea bass with yellow tomato and squash was perfectly seared with sweet tomato and subtle squash flavor. Lamb loin with fava bean and mint was juicy and paired with a crispy tart filled with mushroom duxelle and greens. The striploin with foie gras demi and baby vegetables had deep, beefy flavor with a velvety sauce that was bold without overpowering. Strawberry, rhubarb, hibiscus, pink pepper, and amaranth arrived as a sculptural dish that looked like it belonged in a modern art museum. Tart, floral, and just a bit spicy from the pink pepper. Not my preferred flavor combo, but it was beautifully done. Walnut with toast and honey cream was earthy, nutty, and warm with a cozy contrast of crunchy and smooth textures. The Pocky-inspired finale with chocolate, malt, vanilla, and cotton candy was playful and nostalgic. The kitchen also surprised my dad with a warm fig cake and candle. Thoughtful and subtly sweet. It was the perfect bite to end the night. Every drink, from creative mocktails to classic cocktails, was clean and beautifully presented. The pacing was spot-on. Just as we finished one dish, the next was explained and served without a long wait. Course is polished without being pretentious. It's a place where details matter, but the vibe is relaxed. Whether you're celebrating something big or just want an unforgettable dinner in Scottsdale, this spot gets it right. Just be ready. If your dad looks anything like mine, you might get called twins.
My wife and I have been to Course in the past for a special event. This time we went for their valentine day menu. We also chose to do the wine pairing. Wow! Everything was amazing! The wine pairing made the difference and elevated dinner. It was very pricey but worth it for a special occasion. Service was top notch.
This is a review for their Sunday brunch concept! We tried their most recent menu and it started off great but each course felt more ordinary as we moved along. I think we paid for fresh ingredients, great service, and an elevated atmosphere. Sitting inside is also much nicer than sitting on the patio imo since it was a regular patio right in between Pita Jungle and Coconuts Fish cafe. Course 1//Potato Latke: Started off strong with delicious salmon on a warm potato latke. The chive creme fraiche was yummy. Course 2//Tuna tataki: Tuna was fresh and well flavored. Not much done to the watermelon or jicama, felt like just cut slices. Course 3//Warm asparagus salad: Pretty good, but the creme fraiche felt really pretty similar to course 1. Flavors were nice and savory. Course 4//Shakshouka: This is where the dishes started going downhill for me. Felt and tasted ordinary for the most part. The bread crumbs did add a crunchy texture contrast which was nice. Course 5//Monte Cristo: Sadly, it was like a ham & cheese sandwich with fancy cheese. Tasted exactly what it looked like and folks at our table said they could make something similar at home. It was good, but not impressive or special. And the same creme fraiche showed up again. Course 6//Carnitas Huevos Rancheros: Another dish that made us wonder why this whole meal was $75/pp. It tasted fine. Course 7//Milk & Cereal: A fun play on cereal. Panna cotta was nice but again, simple when we expected something more for a highly rated restaurant like Course. Cereal came in a box and was a pie crust with some dried berries. Toys inside the box were fun. Overall, we enjoyed half the meal. Again, service is great. Friendly. Courses paced a bit far out so you have time to chat with company. We expected a bit more for the price point and would not recommend to big eaters as you might still be hungry after as portions were small. Friend mentioned the previous brunch menu was a bit more special.
I wasn't expecting this restaurant to be in a strip mall, we sat inside and the windows have some sort of glass cover preventing you from seeing the outside parking lot. We were greeted immediately and sat at our table. The server was nice and prompt. They let us do the 10 course meal with wine pairing even though it was a weekday. The wine pairing was mostly wine with one beer and one cider. We ordered a cocktail as well, but did notice there was a bug in there. By then we already had our first wine so elected not to have them remake it, although they offered several times. It wasn't a big deal but was surprised they didn't take it off the check, not did we ask. The meal itself, we've done a couple prefix meals in other states. I would say this one was good but I've definitely been to better ones. The courses were all beautifully presented, they all tasted good, a couple slightly on the salty side, but overall there wasn't one course that I left thinking about or wanting more of. Overall, it was a great date night and good experience.

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

This was a full on dining experience. Each course was tastier than the next perfect sizes small bites, but you were so full by the end service was impeccable!! they really went over the top to make it a super fun dining experience. We ate and drank for 2 1/2 hours highly recommend it. 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

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

Thank you Jamiee for your honest and thoughtful review. We are glad…
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

Thank you so much for being a loyal supporter Jennifer! We're…
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

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

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

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

Best Birthday ever! I was so happy to find Course as I took myself on a date to Course. The staff was so caring, respectful and generous with their expertise and time. Chef Oppold's artistry is next level and Nicholas chose the most perfect wine pairings. I have enjoyed tastings before but Course raises the bar beyond. Thank you all for making it an unforgettable experience. Excited to try the tasting brunch! read more

What a fantastic mind blowing experience. Chef Cory provides a warm atmosphere with fun music and extremely knowledgeable staff. The food is unforgettable. We went for Father's Day brunch and had a 9 course meal. Each meal is a small portion but by the time we got to the 9th course I was so full. Full bar with extravagant cocktails. I can't wait to go back and try the dinner menu. Also check back in periodically as the menus will change over time. 10/10 recommend!!!! read more
