    Racquel S.

    Still my fave spot for seafood in Scottsdale and probably my fave overall in the Phoenix area. Service was excellent and our food was good all the way around. I had the arctic char and scallop potatoes + mussels. Ambiance was especially good this time because we were seated in the area with the private booths and a view into the kitchen. It was an early birthday celebration and the experience was great.

    complimentary bread

    Celebrated a friend's birthday here. All of the staff were friendly from the hostess to our server Danny who took care of us. Our table was clean and our waters were kept full. Dimly lit restaurant with moderate noise level. We started with the crispy shrimp which was so flavorful and crispy. You can never go wrong with calamari, which was solid and delicious, love the peppers. I drank the coastal rita which was a refreshing margarita, would definitely order again. For my entree I got the 12oz filet mignon with the brussel sprouts as a side (which is served in a way meant to be shared.) The filet is served on a 500° plate so it continues cooking . I prefer medium well so it was a lil too pinkish initially but eventually got there. Tasted great though! Everyone else enjoyed their dishes as well! We ordered dessert which was complimentary for my friend's birthday. So yummy! Great service, food, and ambience.

    Beautiful wine cellar

    We have dined here for date nights, as well as special occasions. It is/was one of my favorites in Phoenix. I typically can say it's a 5*. This time it was closer to 3.5*, but I'm rounding up since it is typically better than it was the night we went recently. Pros 1. Beautiful decor and luxurious vibe 2. Most of the staff is professional Cons 1. About 1/3 of the oysters were not shucked well and had shell and/or sand on them. 2. Music that didn't fit the vibe. I forget what was playing but it seemed like dentist's office music. It was bad enough to notice that it was something that seemed out of place. 3. The young guys who served the sides seemed high. They plopped the food on our plates and had it dripping and extremely messy on the sides of the serving dishes. One of the guys dropped some of the spinach/artichoke dip on the floor and didn't seem to notice or care. Someone else came by later to clean it up.

    Beautiful ambiance - not too loud - seafood was so good we had to order a second tower. The steak was equally as phenomenal. Great service. Highly recommend!!

    Seafood tower, mussels , oysters Rockefeller ... AMAZING

    Visited for my fiancé's birthday. The food?? One damn word. DELICIOSO We ordered the roasted spanish octopus, the truffle fries and the surf and turf. The highlight was definitely the octopus dish. Tender.. flavorful.. a quick of spice.. well balanced. Still day dreaming of it My wife and I did think the presentation of the surf and turf could be improved as well as the seasoning for the steak. The steak did need salt. Maybe a chimichuri sauce to dip would be good for this one just because it was a little dry (we ordered medium-rare) However!!!! The LOBSTER?? DELICIOSO again, tender, buttery and just perfect size! The ambience here was very nice for a special ocassion. They do have valet but the garage is right across so it's super easy anyway! We also wanted to applaud the service dynamic here!! They have the waiter and A LOT of sous chefs helping with delivering food, cleaning off plates and even sweeping off the table. You can tell everyone is so attentive even if it was holiday season and a SATURDAY. They were on it. Amazing job.

    Bone-In Ribeye*
    Meg M.

    We've been here a few times, and our last visit were seated a smaller dining room with just a few tables it was quieter and helped us be able to hear one another better. I ordered the bone-in ribeye and it was incredible -- a huge portion, cooked absolutely perfectly. The sides were great, the crème brûlée corn stole my heart. Service is great, cute little birthday card when we arrived for us.

    Beautiful restaurant inside and out. Delicious food and swanky atmosphere. We were seated next to a service table and there were a few guys (employees) chatting away with f-bombs thrown in, which was extremely surprising, but other than that we really enjoyed our experience. The complimentary rolls were amazing; so tasty that I couldn't stop at one. The crispy shrimp deviled eggs were SO delicious; I've had cravings ever since. The menu offers lots of appetizer, potato and vegetable side options. (The only thing I would mention is that the Torched Scallop appetizer is just that - torched only so they are raw scallops.) The drinks were interesting and tasted great too. Overall a great meal in a relaxing atmosphere with beautiful decor.

    Maine Lobster escargot- Not a fan!
    Sylvia C.

    I decided to come here and enjoy a couple of appetizers and a glass of wine after my hair appointment at Sachi. I did not have a reservation, but they were able to seat anyway. However, I was told that I needed to be done by 6:45. That was fine because I arrived at about 415 so they gave me plenty of time to eat. One of my girlfriends also joined me as well and as usual, we sat at the bar. The bartenders were fantastic....very personable with great customer service. I can't remember the female's name, but she made a wonderful spicy margarita for me. Now let's talk about the food. I ordered the lobster escargot, and I wasn't a fan of it. It had a mornay sauce that was more like a soufflé, and I just felt that that over-powered the lobster. Also, it was way more mornay sauce than lobster. It did have a little bit of caviar on the top but again that was lost because of all of the Mornay sauce. I ordered the oysters Rockefeller with a side of a couple of scallops. Both the scallops and the oysters Rockefeller were fantastic! In fact, the next time I go, I will definitely order that for an entree. Overall, if you want good seafood and get service, this is definitely a place to come to.

    Linguini and Clams 10/10
    Jessie B.

    I love Ocean 44! I've dined here many times, most recently for my best friend's birthday. The restaurant was super accommodating to our large party of 10 and we had dedicated staff who made sure we had an amazing time and that drinks kept flowing! Rojo was our main waiter and he was wonderful. The food was impeccable I highly reccomend the Lobster Rolls, Escargot, Seared Scallops, Linguini with Clams and andy of their delectable steaks! They provided us with a delicious desert on the house which was a sharable beingnet tree! Is it pricey? Yes absolutely! But if you're celebrating or want a super luxe or romantic night out they can't be beat!

    Totally amazing experience! The ambiance was beautiful! Our server was extremely informative and knowledgeable about the menu and any questions we had. The food was beyond fresh and delicious. Highly would recommend for anyone visiting!

    Warm Vanilla Carmel Cake
    Laura M.

    My husband and I won "Date Night for a Year" at Ocean 44 during the auction portion of the Fresh Start Gala at the Phoenician Resort. We had the privilege of dining at Ocean 44 every month for a year, such an awesome experience. We pretty much know the menu inside and out. The service at Ocean 44 is excellent and the food is fantastic. They give you cards on special occasions, call the next day to see how the meal was. They bring warm damp scented towels between courses to clean your hands. Since we dined every month they knew our cocktail order before we sat down. Everything about Ocean 44 is five star! We usually requested a table with a view of the kitchen because it was more private, quieter, and fun to watch the back of the house do their thing. A few times we requested the room with the "trees." We liked the ambiance in that space as well. We liked to start with their Oysters. Always a great selection. Fresh, clean, and we love the accompaniments they serve with them, perfection! The Heirloom Tomato and King Crab is a stand out appetizer for me. The chilled lump crab and fresh avocado on top of slices of heirloom tomatoes with a drizzle of basil puree is beyond refreshing! Love the chilled knife it's served with. The Maine Lobster Escargot topped with caviar is an interesting appetizer. It's their twist on traditional escargot. It's very rich but worth trying at least once as it's very unique. You also can't go wrong with the Chicken Fried Lobster Tails. They taste exactly how they sound and come with a green chili aioli. They have a Wood Roasted Shellfish section on the menu. We liked their mussels. The sauce is so flavorful...caramelized onions and white wine. It's a large portion that could easily be an entree. My favorite is the Chilean Seabass or sometimes they have a Striped Bass on special. Both are prepared perfectly. The Seabass cuts like butter. The Stripped Bass is flaky and comes topped with Lump Crab, it's delicious. I also love their Scallops, they melt in your mouth. My husband loves their steaks. He likes the NY Strip and Filet Mignon, but the Wagyu was his favorite because it's so rich and savory. What's awesome is you can add anything to any dish, a few scallops or a crab cake to make it surf and turf. Siegfried's Au Gratin Potatoes as a side are a must! The caramelized onions and gouda cheese is next level! The Corn Crème Brûlée is outstanding. It's sweet and has a golden brown caramelized sugar crust topping. The Wild Mushrooms are another favorite and so is the fire roasted cauliflower. Our top three desserts are the Warm Vanilla Carmel Cake, Key lime Pie, and the Coconut Cream Pie. They also have a Benign Tree that comes with dipping sauces. It's a fun way to present dessert if you're dinning with multiple people. Ocean 44 is impressive, serves high quality food, and is the perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion. We no longer go every month as our "Date Night for a Year" ended, but we still go on special occasions.

    Pepper-crusted big eye tuna
    Kat P.

    This was my first time at Ocean 44, a 16-year wedding anniversary dinner courtesy of Mr P. We made reservations ahead of time, and did not have any wait for our table. There was a very nice ambiance throughout the restaurant, and I appreciated that the music was a mixture that seemed to be a Gen X construct. We were jamming. Or in the vein of Bob Marley or Club Nouveau, "We be jammin'". The staff who served us throughout the night was top notch. Every fork was replaced on queue with empty plates whisked away and empty cups promptly filled. Our main server was a delightful ginger named Joe. (I'm allowed to say that because I too am a ginger). He was more than knowledgeable regarding the menu and beverages and accoutrement to best accompany entrees. We were checked on the perfect amount of times, and courses we're impeccably paced. When our beverages arrived, so did warm, buttery croissant style bread, and both an anniversary card and birthday card for Mr P, proving the incredible hospitality of the restaurant, as well as a truly individualized experience. This rang true at the end as well, when a surprise cake was packaged for us at the conclusion of our dinner, compliments of the restaurant. I will also jump ahead and add that we received a phone call the very next afternoon, making sure that we had a wonderful experience and welcoming any feedback that we may have. We began with the 2 piece caviar cones. I had never had caviar before, so I wasn't sure what it tasted like. It was pleasant, though I didn't taste the expected fishiness of a caviar at all. In fact, I thought it slightly overpowered by the petite green onion on top. But overall pleasant. We also added the Wood-Fired Spanish octopus. This was absolutely delightful! The octopus was cooked perfectly, with a great woody flavor. The fingerling potatoes and roasted cherry tomatoes were a perfect complement. For my main entree, I chose the New Bedford scallops, with a special of the day, the chicken fried lobster tail as an accompaniment. Both were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly as well. There was a green chili aioli to compliment the lobster that was to die for. Mr. P got the pepper-crusted tuna, which he absolutely loved. He added to this an 8 oz, petite wagyu filet. I am not a red meat eater, but this was seasoned and cooked perfectly rare, with a crust on top that was magnificent. For the table, we ordered two sides: a wild mushroom arrangement, and a sweet corn brulee. Both were absolutely worth writing home about. The sweet corn was exactly what it sounds like - a creme brulee that just happened to be like a creamed corn. It was so very good. Needless to say, we needed a box to take home a good amount of this meal. We did opt for dessert, from which we chose a simple berry mixture with cream. All of the berries were sweet and ripe, and the cream was delicate yet hearty and not at all oily. I happen to wash this down with a delightful cappuccino. This was a pricy meal, but it was one that was planned for for not one, but two special occasions, making for a great date night. I can't gush enough about our server Joe and his assistants. They really made our experience phenomenal, and we would willfully return over and over again.
