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!

Amazing custom cocktails at Course that you will NOT find anywhere else. Justin is a genius.

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).

Extra course of financiers and meringue cookies

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.

The pear course. One of the better courses of the evening.

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.

I hate giving bad reviews but I cannot let this one go. To charge the prices this restaurant does is just not right. The texture of the day was "mush". I will say 2 of the 10 dishes were delicious, the amouse bouche and the sea bass. But the other 8 of 10 were basically what I feed my 8 month old daughter, mush and bland. For a meal to come out over $1,000 for 4, you will leave feeling ripped off. It's hard to think ownership knows the food is this bad but if they do it shows extreme lack of leadership and accountability. I just don't see this place around in 12 months. read more

The presentation and the taste are Michelin star standard. I love every dish, except the ribeye was a little bit drier but if you substitute it with the wagyu for an extra $45. It was so flavorful!

Okay my traveling foodie friends...I walked into this incredible gem by chance and let me tell you, don't walk but run to get a seat at this AMAZING restaurant!!! Everything about this restaurant is at 100 percent. It's a course driven menu that changes with the seasons and creative genius of the chefs. I walked in on a Sunday for brunch and everything I was given was DIVINE. Think Cafe Monarch in south Scottsdale or the French Laundry in Napa (but without the formality. Business and semi-casual attire is best). Every dish was inventive, delicious and perfectly presented). Course restaurant is PHENOMENAL and I will definitely be back. This place deserves all the accolades and success. I sure hope come fall I can get in!! Lol read more

The creativity, ingredient quality, beauty and restrained complexity of flavors in each bite was mind blowing.

We knew Chef Cory Oppold's wonderful food from another restaurant, but we were surprised when this incredible dining experience exceeded our expectations. Beautiful, modern and welcoming, the decor is open and spacious. The china and crystal are beautifully paired with the interesting COURSES. Each of the 10 offerings were unique in their presentation and delicious in their flavor. Especially loved the RATATOUILLE, an unexpected take on that beloved veggie dish. And the CORN flavors just POPPED! The pork had two different pieces and each was perfectly prepared. We loved the Steak Diane. The meat was so tender and flavorful. And the desserts...and there were many, each little morsel was a taste treat! Our server RAHA, was such a pleasure. She explained each COURSE perfectly and she was fun to be with. She was ably assisted by a crew of servers who set each dish down with a lovely flourish. Perfectly orchestrated, they helped to create a unique dinner symphony. And how lovely to have Chef Cory check-in on each table. That personal touch was the frosting...(fondant?) on a wonderful evening. We look forward to returning when the new menu appears sometime late Fall. , read more

Course was amazing! We opted for the 5-course summer menu on a quiet Thursday evening to celebrate an anniversary. The taste and pairings were spot on. Standouts for me were the lobster and escargot, but the presentation was wowing. Atmosphere is calm and stylish, and Cory took care of us superbly, explaining the menu and options and how the tastings work together. He was attentive without being cloying and didn't hesitate to make the meal as enjoyable as possible. Each dish was a work of art, and this small restaurant has a pastry chef and sommelier who are expert at their arts. Since it was mellow that evening Cory took us back to the kitchen area to see the chef preparing dishes with tremendous care. So impressed all around! Course is definitely a special occasion spot, and we felt like the staff really cared about our experience and are justifiably proud of their culinary achievements. read more

Wow. Course is truly a one of a kind experience in Scottsdale. I was brought to Course randomly when a coworker and her husband spontaneously invited my fiancé and I to join them there for dinner and wine on a weeknight. I had no idea of the caliber of the restaurant we were about to go to (we enjoy fine dining but this is different), and we were both absolutely blown away. Chef Corey is so talented and his service team matches the same level of excellence. They are all so knowledgeable, personable, professional, and eager to ensure that you are enjoying yourself and all that the restaurant has to offer. The food was truly excellent in taste and the presentation was breathtaking. After our first visit with just my fiancé and I, we raved about Course to all of our family and friends and we decided to take my parents to their Morning Would brunch for Father's day which was just as amazing, and enjoyed some unique cocktails that were fun and refreshing. After that, my parents were hooked too, lol. We were patiently awaiting another occasion that we could celebrate at Course, so we made a reservation for my parents' anniversary last month to try out the new fall menu and we were all so impressed. Delicious doesn't even scratch the surface of what Course delivers. Course is truly on a different level than any of the "fine dining" experiences you can find anywhere in Scottsdale. One of the best and longtime chefs in this town happens to be a good friend, and he shared that his experience at Course gave him new inspiration for his own work, and that it reminded him of why he works in the food industry. I thought that was pretty cool! If you are thinking about dining here, just do it-- You will not be disappointed! read more

I really dislike leaving bad reviews, but I have such remorse from my meal here :( We love going out to eat and paying high prices is not a concern for us, especially when it's worth the experience. We came here for our wedding anniversary and I liked 3.5/10 courses. I was hoping that ending the meal with 2 phenomenal desserts would salvage the meal...dessert was offensively awful. The coco puff was cocoa puff pastry (literally) on a plate. The prior dessert was some kind of layer cake and it was so dry and bland...I would have been happy with just having the other items on the plate without it. The service was impeccable and I really enjoyed the wine we ordered. I was hoping this meal would have knocked my socks off and make me forget I was sitting in a parking lot next to Pita Jungle. Will not recommend as there are so many other places to go...we live so close by and was hoping to frequent here with every menu change. read more

There's an innovative gem in the culinary community on the scene that is redefining the dining experience as we know it. Course is the talk of the town and a must -see establishment for food adventurers. from its clean stylish ambience to it's meticulously crafted menu. ,This restaurant is leaving a lasting memory for all who experienced it, including this Lucky writer. Apprehension by the prospect of multiple courses,soon faded replaced by the desire to taste a variety of flavors, textures and artistry given to every taste. I promise you leave perfectly satiated not overindulged,because much thought has been given to the balance of portions and weight of each course. The wait staff offers the perfect blend of attention, professionalism, and thoughtful consideration. Course has thought of everything. Even the restroom is a testament to the exceptional attention to detail, where every aspect is meticulously designed creating an atmosphere of luxury.

Amazing dining experience! The food, atmosphere and service were top notch. Hands down the best dining experience we have had. This particular night I was not feeling like wine, but my wife did the paring and would highly recommend. This was a unique experience with food we would not have normally tried. Each dish was amazing and perfect portions. So glad to have this new restaurant in Scottsdale! read more

First off I am a picky eater, going to restaurants where they have it all lined up for myself sometimes can be an anxious thing because you'd never want to disrespect the creators of the food. This place blew me away, I believe my dinner was 9 courses, with half of them being things i've never tried before, and it didn't matter, it didn't matter it all. It proved if you know your flavors and how to balance it all (something way beyond me) you can basically make things objectively delicious, shoot, perfect. Yes it is a nice place, but you can be yourself, respectfully, the staff was incredibly friendly and make you feel so beyond taken care of, and will give some great wine pairings. There's beautiful decor, they plate each dish very uniquely, cool marble features for the tables and bars, such a cool spot. It was an awesome dinner, the chef came and thanked everyone in the dining room towards the end of service and made it feel very personable, and you can tell he is beyond passionate about his craft. Would be an unforgettable date night, anniversary, or just a night to experience new flavors:) read more

You can tell right away this is the kind of place regulars come back to often. Food I didn't try much food, but I did have the cheese crisp and it was solid. Light, flaky, and more like an open-faced tostada than a quesadilla. It came topped with green chili and chicken, and everything worked well together. Based on that, I'd expect the rest of the menu to be consistent, even if it's not trying to reinvent the wheel. Service Service was efficient, especially considering how busy it was. No complaints here... you can tell the staff knows how to handle a full house and keep things moving. Ambience This is where the place stands out. The vibe feels like a food network designed a biker bar, but in a fun, not over-the-top way. It's also apparently a Kansas City Chiefs bar, which adds to the identity. There was a live band playing early 2000s rock hits, which kept the energy up. Crowd was friendly overall, very much a neighborhood crowd. Overall This isn't a destination bar, but it's a really solid go-to if you live nearby. Think of it as an elevated dive/sports bar with a strong local following. Good drinks, good energy, and a place that does what it's supposed to do well.

Water was never offered to us and was only given to us after we asked. All the other tables were given water once they were seated. Our drinks were good but we chose to just have one each and we left. The live music was great. The musician was playing the piano and kept it fun and upbeat. The inside is pretty cool and unique but service could've definitely been better though. *There's a $10 cover fee per person when there is live music*

If you're going for a meal-first experience, you might want to look elsewhere.

I stopped by The Madam for drinks on a Tuesday evening. I had a reservation at 8 p.m. Located at…read moreThe Scottsdale Resort in McCormick Ranch, I had some initial issues with the parking situation. What looks like free parking in the self-parking area actually isn't. There's a sign that says you have to pay for parking with a QR code. Parking is only free for 30 minutes. I called the hotel to inquire about parking and they didn't answer. After walking to the front desk, we were told that valet is validated at the speakeasy. I'm not a fan of valet, but I'll take free valet service (minus the tip) over paying more for self parking. Now, let's get to the good stuff. As the self-appointed king of speakeasies, I'm back with another one. Ambiance: (4.5/5): I won't give all of the clues away, but walk to the third floor, look for a book shelf, and you're on the right track. Once you get inside, you'll find an intimate speakeasy. We're talking seating for 12 or so people or so, tops. I imagine getting a seat on a weekend is quite tough, so take that into account and make a reservation. When you do, you'll find out that there's a $25 cancellation fee per person if you cancel within 24 hours of your reservation. I understand that no shows negatively impact restaurants/bars, but I absolutely hate when the cost of doing business is passed off on customers. I'm reliable, but if I'm going with someone else, and they cancel, now I'm in a tough spot. Anyways, I loved the ambiance at The Madam. Think dark wood, sophistication, and some cowboy vibes. The seating was comfortable, too. Service (4.5/5): Minus the parking snafu, our bartender did an absolute awesome job taking care of us. She was friendly and attentive throughout. They were perfecting a new drink menu and even offered us two drinks on the house. Which was much appreciated! We were lucky, for sure. Food (N/A): While they do have food, I was on a liquid diet on this visit. Drinks (4/5): When I go to a speakeasy, I'm looking for creativity. You'll find that here for the most part, though I wish the list of craft cocktails was a little larger. There were only two or so cocktails that struck my fancy. I went with the one with green chartreuse, which is always a treat. But, when I'm at a speakeasy, I'm hoping that at least half of the selection intrigues me. Despite the limited selection, the cocktails are well made and have an interesting blend of flavors. The Madam is a true speakeasy (no signage and an ambiance which is true to the history of speakeasies), which makes them a winner in my book.

The restaurant had already been open for almost 2 hours, so I am not sure why it was so hot inside (others in our party were hot too, so I wasn't just me). Positives are the restaurant's beach decor and the hamburgers. Several people in our party ordered burgers, and they were cooked to perfection and the fries were really good! Negatives are very few seafood menu options and the fish tacos were terrible. They were drowning in a mayonnaise based slaw. The corn tortillas were really fresh and tasty, but when I bit into my taco I could mostly only taste mayonnaise and the pickled onions. Our friends even made an unsolicited comment that my tacos did not look good. Luckily, I selected fries as my side, because they were the best thing on my plate. With a name like Montauk, and the beach decor, I expected more fresh seafood options on the menu. More than half the menu was not seafood (Mediterranean platter, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, brussels sprouts, salads, etc.). Unfortunately, Montauk does not live up to the hype.

"Course" is the culinary equivalent of a symphony. This gem of a restaurant delivered an experience that was a perfect ballet of flavor, presentation, and service from the moment we stepped through the door to our last sip of coffee. Our gastronomic journey was the 10-course dinner which turned out to be an epicurean adventure in the truest sense. Our meal began with the Sturgeon Pie, an audacious start that was beautifully executed, setting high expectations for what was to come. The 'Forms of Cucumber' dish was a refreshing symphony of flavors, with the artic char pairing incredibly well with the crème fraiche and sorrel. Next came the fennel with eggplant, squash, and fava bean, a splendid showcase of garden produce, brimming with freshness and creativity. The artichoke rosette with picholine olive and barigoule emulsion was a masterpiece of taste and aesthetics, and the Spanish turbot with peas, morels, and ramps was another triumph. The fish was cooked to perfection, its delicate flavors accentuated by the earthiness of the morels and the springtime brightness of the peas and ramps. The whimsically named "Courssant" with French onion butter was a delightful interlude, paving the way for the hearty dishes that followed. The romaine with Jidori Chicken Oysters, oyster mushrooms, and smoked oyster velouté was a dance of flavors that was both comforting and adventurous. The lamb loin with chickpea, carrot, and yogurt was rich yet balanced, each element shining while contributing to a harmonious whole. We decided to supplement our meal with the Wagyu Beef, and it was well worth the additional cost. The ribeye with asparagus, green garlic, and black pepper was a wonderful ending to the savory portion of our meal, each ingredient treated with respect and precision. The desserts were otherworldly. The candycap mushroom dessert combined honey, white chocolate, sweet bread, and raspberry into an unexpected yet delightful harmony. The yuzu with rhubarb, candied kombu, and shiso was a refreshing palate cleanser, the citrusy yuzu contrasting wonderfully with the sweet rhubarb and candied kombu. To finish, the Mignardises were tiny treasures. The Foie-Mond Joy, the Guava, and the Lilac each delivered a sophisticated burst of sweetness, serving as the perfect end to an unforgettable dining experience. Throughout our meal, the service was impeccable. The staff were attentive without being intrusive and their knowledge of each dish was impressive. We appreciated their genuine interest in our dining experience, as it added a personal touch to our evening. In conclusion, "Course" offers a unique dining experience that is so much more than just a meal. It is an exploration of flavors and textures, a celebration of quality ingredients, and a testament to the skill and creativity of its culinary team. This is not just a restaurant, but a gastronomic adventure you won't forget. I highly recommend "Course" for any food lovers seeking an extraordinary dining experience. read more

COURSE Restaurant in Scottsdale delivered an unforgettable evening with their five-course tasting menu, setting the bar for fine dining experiences. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere exuded elegance without being overly pretentious, creating the perfect backdrop for an extraordinary meal. The menu itself is a work of art, seamlessly blending flavors, textures, and presentations. Each dish felt like a celebration of ingredients, showcasing the chef's creativity and respect for seasonality. Highlights included the *Doughnut* amuse-bouche with caviar and crème fraîche--an indulgent start that hinted at the excellence to come. The *Iberico Pork Secreto* reimagined as "sausage & peppers" was a standout, with perfectly balanced flavors and innovative use of textures. The *Sweet Potato* dessert, featuring maple-cheddar ice cream and bacon, was an unexpected delight, closing the meal on a playful yet sophisticated note. But as remarkable as the food was, the service is what truly set COURSE apart. The waitstaff provided a level of attentiveness that is rare even in top-tier establishments. Every dish was introduced with thoughtful explanations, offering insights into the ingredients and preparation. They were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring water glasses were filled, courses arrived at a perfect pace, and any questions were answered with genuine enthusiasm. Their passion for the experience matched the chef's artistry, making the evening feel impeccably choreographed. COURSE isn't just a restaurant; it's a destination for those who value culinary craftsmanship and exceptional hospitality. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in the best Scottsdale has to offer, the five-course tasting menu at COURSE is an experience you'll savor long after the final bite. Highly recommend! read more

Prepare for a culinary joyride at Course, where chef-owner Cory Oppold takes fine dining to a whole new level, juggling menus like a maestro with three different acts. It's almost as if he's saying, "Why settle for one course when you can have five, ten, or even a brunch marathon on Sundays?" Oppold, the wizard behind the kitchen curtain, manages to pull off this gastronomic feat with a finesse that would make a catwalker jealous. The meticulous attention to detail extends to the pretty dinnerware, because let's face it, food just tastes better when it's Instagram-worthy. Craft cocktails flow like a well-rehearsed symphony, guided by the baton of a knowledgeable sommelier, Nicholas Padua, who could convince you that water pairs well with caviar. But it's not just about the liquid courage and pretty plates; Course has a dessert game so on-point that you might forget your manners and lick the plate clean, courtesy of pastry sorceress Antonia Kane. And then there's the pièce de résistance - Modernist Cuisine that plays with your taste buds like a mischievous puppy. Picture a pasta-based ratatouille or a Cubano so elegantly deconstructed that you'll question if you've been eating sandwiches wrong your whole life. Oppold has bestowed upon the Valley a culinary haven, a spot where elite prix fixe dining meets a slightly less lavish price point. It's like the Goldilocks of upscale dining - not too extravagant, not too meager, but just right. So, if you're tired of the same old food routine, do yourself a favor and enroll in Course; it's the kind of school where the only pop quizzes involve unexpected bursts of flavor, and the only graduation requirement is a satisfied stomach and a smile. read more

We eat out nightly, and this place is a "WOW". Tuesday night the 23rd of December. The restaurant was fully booked. I called the restaurant and asked if we could squeeze in at the bar and they were able to accommodate us at 5PM when they opened. We were greeted by the manager and formally introduced to the entire FOH team. Because we had been in before, the Chef came out personally to greet us, we felt very special. The dining experience was amazing as always including amuse bush, cocktails, a wine pairing, to-go bottled water and mignardise (cookies & chocolates to go). Not only was the dining a tasty, wonderful show, but the cocktail program was also the best we have experienced. I highly recommend you try this restaurant and experience some of the craft cocktails. The young gentleman behind the bar is very knowledgeable and entertaining. In order to fully appreciate the passion of this exceptional "CRAFT" mixologist, you should request to dine at the bar. The show is very interesting and educational. Food & Beverage at Coarse are a wonderful artistic expression not to be overlooked in Scottsdale. read more

On our second occasion partaking in the offerings of Course, particularly their summer 10 course menu, it is with great delight that I share my thoughts. Surpassing the already elevated expectations established during our first dining experience, this subsequent encounter stood as a testament to the culinary prowess exhibited within those hallowed walls! The inclusion of Wagyu beef, a discernibly judicious addition, proved to be an imperative choice that we wholeheartedly endorse without a trace of remorse. the scallops unveiled themselves as a sublime revelation, perhaps the zenith of culinary ecstasy I have ever encountered. A symphony of flavors in immaculate equilibrium. No Cap Our interactions with Cory and his team were a convergence of hospitality and congeniality that lent an intangible but indispensable aspect to the overall culinary journey. Every penny invested in this experience felt thoroughly justified. This was the perfect Fine dining, multi course experience. Thank you! read more
