[[HIGHLIGHT]]The views and atmosphere at Orange Sky are absolutely beautiful--perfect for a special occasion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food and service were both excellent and lived up to expectations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, the experience was disrupted by a large group of intoxicated golfers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a dress code, and had it been enforced, this situation may have been avoided.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My husband and I were celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary, and the group became extremely loud--yelling, using inappropriate language, and creating an uncomfortable environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Management did try to handle the situation, but when the group was leaving, their behavior escalated. They were running around near our table, and when my 69-year-old husband (who uses a scooter and oxygen) spoke up, they became confrontational and appeared ready to start a fight. It was disappointing and honestly a bit unsettling. For a $200+ dinner, you expect a peaceful and upscale experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the restaurant itself is wonderful and the staff made an effort, this incident took away from what should have been a very special evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Orange Sky... kinda reminds you of Arizona sunsets huh? Located on the rooftop of Talking Stick Resort & Casino, this rooftop bar and restaurant is easy to miss, but you should definitely seek it out. Talking Stick has a spacious free parking lot. After entering the casino, you'll see some elevators close to the Cultural Center. Take them to the top and you'll be in for a treat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance (5/5): It doesn't get much better than this. When you exit the elevators, you'll be in the spacious bar area. If you're looking for drinks, you can sit at the bar or the comfortable seating that surrounds the bar. Don't sit for too long though because there's a little outdoor deck close to the elevators where you can see nice views of Scottsdale and Phoenix. Move toward the back and you'll find the sit-down restaurant and patio area. On the patio, you'll see those same scenic views. There's even an area with 10 or so semi-circle booths that face the windows (and those views I mentioned). Definitely a romantic, date night type of spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service (3.5/5): The service hasn't been bad the two times I've stopped by, just a bit slow. There was one bartender both times I visited. The second time, he must have gone to the bathroom or something because I waited 10 minutes or so to order a drink. That's the downside of only having one bartender working. Food (N/A): I've only had drinks the two times I've visited, but I have perused the menu and it looks interesting. It's upscale, think of it as the menu you'd typically see at a steakhouse with some flair. What type of flair, you ask? Exotic game. We're talking things like ostrich fillets. If you're the adventurous type, all of this should pique your interest. If you're not, there's a lot of "regular stuff" on the menu too. Drinks (4/5): Orange Sky has an interesting list of craft cocktails. I've tried two different cocktails and they were both solid. I was impressed with the unique blend of ingredients. They're a bit pricey, but well done and boozy (always a plus in my book). Outside of cocktails, they have a full bar so beer, wine, liquor, etc. That ostrich fillet is on my mind. I'll have to try it on my next visit. read more

I really don't like leaving reviews like this, but at this price point, Orange Sky needs to do better. We had a reservation for our friends birthday dinner at 5:30. This was all of our first time here and the experience started out great, but our main servers attitude really left a bad taste in our mouths. The older asian lady that greeted us at the elevator was PHENOMENAL. I wish I caught her name but she was bubbly and sweet, knew exactly which table we were and was hyping us up on the walk to our seat. Busboys were great but again, our main server could not have acted more rude and irritated towards us. I didn't catch her name and maybe she was having a bad day, but again - do better. Food selection is good. Entrees do not come with sides and the sides are family style. We all ordered some cocktails before dinner, and I got the grilled oysters with a filet and brussel sprouts for dinner. Food was good and maybe if our service wasn't so bad, I'd consider coming back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Views are phenomenal here for sunset and I truly appreciate the gal that was NOT our server that offered to take all of our pictures, what lighting, etc.. out on the balcony.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We had a geat experience at the Orange Sky Resturant at the Talking Stick Casino!! The staff was so friendly, knowledgeable and professional, great attitudes all around. The food was delicious. Presentation was top notch with the appetizers as well as main courses, the mini meatballs were to die for!! We enjoyed the desserts as well, I had the Flan and my wife had the Chocolate Mousse and they were the best versions we ever had! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere at this resturant was upscale yet allowed a casual feeling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance had a very comfortable feeling and the views will knock your socks off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We celebrated our 47th anniversary there and every staff member we interacted with gave us good wishes. What was a bit weird, it wasn't a big deal, we didn't expect one but most places will provide a complimentary dessert or drink for such an occasion. We will be returning to the Orange Sky!!! read more

We started in the bar! We had the Kumamoto oysters and they were really fresh and clean. Drinks were solid good and the bartender was wonderful!! The salads were solid not great. Caesar could've had more garlic, lemon and parm. For the $$ stop the pie e of salmon could be a tad larger. OK.The chicken was solid. The corn cake was delish. The dessert list left something to be desired but I realize that's a subjective comment. The service was good and we will be back for a steak and the seafood platter!! Thank you read more

It's a friend's birthday and they want to go somewhere very nice in the Valley, a dinner that they'll remember. Enter: Orange Sky. Book reservations early, because I booked our reservation three weeks in advance and was not able to get a sunset seating time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We got there shortly after sunset, but looking out onto the Vallt and seeing all the lights was still beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was attentive, engaging, and funny. We asked for recommendations, and she felt comfortable enough to give her honest opinions, which I truly appreciate it. My Boulevardier cocktail was probably one of the strongest I've ever had, so I only needed one to last through dinner. Thank you I want to try a different kind of red meat, and the fact that elk was an option really excited me. I ordered it, medium rare, and was so happy that I did! If you're looking for a red meat alternative that's lean yet filling, definitely try elk. I was so happy to have a Caesar with egg, as I add egg to mine when I make them at home. And they even had anchovies (upon request)! The creamed spinach was a little too "organic" tasting for me: the spinach wasn't cooked down enough and the cream sauce lacked flavor. Overall, a very enjoyable dinner for those "special occasions". read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! Don't think about it, just go. We went for my Hubs bday yesterday and was impressed from the moment I stepped off the elevator. The views were nothing short of amazing. Breathtaking, honestly. They sat us in a table facing the window so that we were able to enjoy the sunset, and OMG was it beautiful. I had the seabass and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. We shared a side of asparagus and hubs had the steak. He told me it was the best steak he'd ever had in his life. I can't remember the name of server but she took great care of us. After dinner we sat on the patio and enjoyed the Rick Springfield concert. Great times! read more

A meal to remember! I was extremely pleased with the quality and the portions of the food. While many fine dining destinations will serve you a tiny slice of over priced steak and call it luxury, Orange Sky blew my expectations out of the water! I ordered the Ostrich with the fried brussels sprouts. While some may not find these offerings to be the most appealing, I am here to tell you to try them... they will speak for themselves. My complements to the chef! [[HIGHLIGHT]]My date and I were given a private booth with a phenomenal sunset view that simply cannot be understated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sunshade was set on an auto timer so the harsh sun was blocked until just before it was ready to set behind the mountains.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The host staff were very diligent, but not in the least bit disruptive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is an outstanding location to bring a date. Top marks![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We went to Orange sky for a work event. We had about 15 people with us. And they, for some reason would only let us order from a select menu. And they even gave us a hard time about giving us complementary bread that everyone else got in the restaurant, but for some reason since we were on unlimited menu, we weren't even allowed to have the free bread lol! It didn't make sense at all why we got treated like that Our waitress was nice. The food was OK. Our steaks were not good quality, but the rest of the food was pretty decent. read more

Super slow service and overcooked steak. Definitely would not spend your time or money on this restaurant.

The sunset view is an amazing backdrop. You can go outside on the patio for expansive views. Our drinks didn't arrive in a timely fashion but were very unique and quite tasty. It took a long time for our server to take our order. She did ask about food allergies and consulted her notes while telling us which items to avoid. My husband wanted to order Ostrich and just as he was about to order, another server walked by and told our server that there was no more ostrich! Had our server not taken so long to get our order he could have had it. We both had salmon and while not a unique dish, it was prepared excellently. The mushroom and Brussels sprouts sides were also good but a little heavy on the oil . Our desert was comped (anniversary celebration) and brought to the table in an unexpected and delightful way. The manager comped our drinks to make up for dinner which was appreciated . read more

My girlfriend and I had a date night at Orange Sky, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. We arrived right before the kitchen was about to close, and despite the late hour, Vicky at the host stand welcomed us with genuine warmth and kindness. We mentioned it was a special date night, and she went out of her way to make us feel welcome. That first impression set the tone for the entire evening. Our server, Anthony, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable about the menu, helped us pair wines with our entrées, and offered great recommendations on sides. Speaking of sides--the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower were absolutely incredible. Without exaggeration, they were two of the best side dishes I've had in years. As for the main course, I ordered the bone-in New York steak, and all I can say is wow. My girlfriend and I dine at a lot of high-end restaurants in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and this was honestly one of the best steaks I've had in a very long time--possibly the best in the last few years. The food was exceptional, the service was impeccable, and every member of the staff we interacted with was friendly and professional. Orange Sky delivered an unforgettable dining experience, and we'll absolutely be back the next time we're in Scottsdale. Highly recommended. read more

Great concept, but execution fails at all levels. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: The views I am sure were great, before Top Golf went in and the bright lights take away from the view. The sunset was nice, but I can get about the same from my backyard[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The "private" little booths are separated by cheap dividers, so you dont truly get an intimate experience for a romantic dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food: Drinks are mixed well and my old fashioned came in a fancy fog "Smoked OF". Food on the other hand was mediocre at best. Prices are on par with Steak 44 and Ocean 44, quality is on par with Outback. Service: To get the "private booth" experience I think you have to confirm to a min spend of $200 (from what I recall). It's not an issue as everything on the menu for two with drink has you blowing over that range. With reservations, we still had to wait 15 min to go up and get seated. Overall service was ok, but not at the lever one would expect for a "high end" dining experience. Overall: This is only suitable for an engagement setting, no other event makes sense at this price and quality standpoint. read more

My friend and I dined at Orange Sky for our annual holiday dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We made reservations for 5:30 so we could enjoy the sunset and oh what a view![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated on a "couch" in a private alcove, facing the sunset. It was absolutely perfect![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered dirty martinis with blue cheese olives and shared the Crab and Avocado Stack and the Meatballs. We also shared the Shrimp Pasta. Everything was amazing!! Our server was fabulous as well! She was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend, especially for a romantic night out! read more

This meal was a surprising treat. I didn't plan to eat here and didn't even know this place existed. We were doing a single night staycation as locals and I actually intended to go to Tash but I wanted to grab a Rez. Orange Sky had tables open so I booked there after reading about the nice sunset view. From start to finish we enjoyed our meal. The server Lindsey was perfect. Ambiance was nice and relaxing. And food was very good. The flat iron steak is such an underrated cut of meat. It had some of the most flavor I've tasted in a cut of meat. And oysters were fantastic as well. Our sides delicious as well. All in all, I would come back here to try other menu items. The view at sunset alone is worth coming here if you're also a sunset lover. read more

I had the pleasure of eating at Orange Sky for my friend's birthday and it was a fabulous experience! For the price we paid, it was honestly worth every penny. We started off with a round of drinks and the cheese board and I thought the charcuterie selection was great. I loved my espresso martini as well. I ordered a steak, and we got the carrots and brussels sprouts to share. The brussels sprouts were a hit with the whole table! They were cooked perfectly, not soggy at all, and seasoned to perfection. The carrots were also fantastic, and not too sweet. My steak was cooked exactly the way I liked it and the sauce option I got paired amazingly. The service here was great, and we were really taken care of here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The view from our table was hard to beat-- definitely a highlight of the entire dinner. You can see so much of the Valley from the restaurant![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If I have something big to celebrate, I would definitely consider coming back here. It's convenient that it's at the casino as well! read more

Food & service were spot on. All food was served ala carte. Portions were so big 3 of us shared the sides.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Located on the 15th floor of the Talking Stick Resort with breathtaking desert views[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], [[HIGHLIGHT]]each dining experience i have had here has been nothing short of lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] From the vast selection on the menu you will not get other places to the knowledge of the servers and their dedication to go above and beyond for the guest is amazing. Would recommend for any celebration or nice work dinner. read more

Going to this restaurant was a true experience! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere felt elegant and classy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had live music which I am a sucker for, so I enjoyed getting to start off the night with some tunes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food left me WOWED, if you're feeling iffy about getting the ostrich GET IT PLEASE I BEG YOU. It's easily one of the best cuts of meat I've ever had. I was in the mood to try something exotic and do not regret it one bit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is great for an upscale date night because it's a great wine and dine experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything we had was delicious from the drinks to the dessert! Service of course was top tier and our server, Anthony was on top of it throughout our whole time there! read more

Orange Sky has amazing views and excellent service--our waiter Mars made the night memorable. The 50-day dry-aged steak was outstanding, the sea bass and halibut were perfectly cooked, and the Old Fashioned in a smoke cage was a fun touch. Desserts like the blueberry bundt cake and vanilla flan were also delicious. The only disappointment was the $220 Orange Sky Coastal Market (seafood tower)--the oysters and scallops weren't fresh, and the presentation was sloppy. Overall, great ambiance and food--just avoid the seafood tower at all cost, no pun intended. read more

This visit was amazing! So happy to return to celebrate with our niece. She wanted to experience her first fine dining experience. Our favorite server Bibiana was phenomenal as always. Felipe was such a joy to have and help us celebrate. The seating was perfect, everything was so delicious. The night was so special and being here was 10x better. Highly recommend the desserts & the chef special! Huge shoutout to the Chefs: The Amazing Chef Martin, Sous Chef Daniel, and Chef Maria for being so amazing to us during our celebration. We're happy to have had your care and delicious hospitality! Can't wait to come back. read more

Ten outta ten! Highly recommend! This restaurant is high end with beautiful views. From the resort you take an elevator to the restaurant. We did have a reservation. The staff were very friendly. We ordered the whipped potatoes with garlic fondue, steak and chilled jumbo shrimp. The food was so delicious. The garlic fondue in the potatoes were by far the best I've ever had. The steak was divine as well. I highly recommend this place. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The views are amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, the prices are ridiculous. WAY too expensive for anything on the menu.

I decided to give 4 stars (the experience was 2-3 stars when we arrived and later became 4 star). Hostess attitude was frosty at best. We asked if we could be seated a bit early and she snootily said they're busy. At our reservation time, we again asked to be seated and she again told us to sit down and she would get to us. Finally we were seated. The dining room wasn't busy at all. Not a great first impression for service. The views from the bar and the dining room are stunning. The sun began setting at the tail end of our dinner and that was very beautiful. The food was really good. I split a NY strip and a lobster tail with one of my friends, the other had a sampler platter of interesting and unusual meats, like ostrich. Very delicious! The cocktails were yummy, inventive and refreshing. We shared a lemon blueberry dessert that was 5 star! read more

Top 3 steaks I've had in AZ along with an amazing view. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a patio if you'd like a good view of the city.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very good service, highly recommend: get the steak with their pepper butter. 10/10. read more

Went here for a graduation dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service and ambiance was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The oysters were barely filled with any meat. My bison was medium rare instead of of medium. For a high end place, they should not skimp you on what you are paying good money for read more

Food was great! Look at this view!!! The seat setting is very private. It's easy to talk and hear. Very private. Service is amazing as well for the such a private setting. You would think you would be forgotten. But nooo! They will check up on us in a good timing. Totally recommend this place read more

I'm usually wary of casino restaurants. Smoke filled, over priced, and marginal food. The Orange Sky debunked that theory. Great layout to watch the evening sunset from your table or on a deck. The servers were knowledgeable and made great recommendations. The food was excellent. We went for the wild game. Enjoyed ostrich, antelope, and bison. Absolutely fantastic. The martinis were nicely done. read more

I couldn't get a drink to save my life. There were seven people behind the bar messing around talking to each other and nobody would stop to help me. I finally got frustrated after waiting about 10 minutes and just said skip it and went back to my table, I will be leaving here and I will not be returning Of course no one came to my table to check on me, but that's a given and a place like this .... Not exactly fine dining read more

I still give this restaurant 5 stars. I have been here countless times and have never been disappointed with the food or service. Today we had Mars and Felipe taking care of us, they are both very friendly and attentive. I was very impressed by both of them. Our drinks were never empty and we were checked on the perfect amount of times. I love how everyone works as a team here to take care of their customers. Although it was a busy night our food came out fairly quickly and was hot when it was brought to our table by Lindsay (she is great too!). I will continue to come back and recommend this restaurant to friends and family. read more

Amazing food, amazing views!! We received a gift card to Orange Sky a couple years ago and never had a chance to use it, but finally made a reservation and we were so impressed! Our reservation was at 7:15 but went early to watch the sunset in their lounge and it was beautiful. The food was delicious - they came out first with the bread basket - the butter was delicious. Then we started with the roasted beets and burrata. The roasted golden beets paired so well with the creamy burrata and toasted baguette. My husband ordered the flat iron steak, which was delicious and perfectly cooked and tender. I ordered the chicken sausage pasta - the homemade pasta was perfectly cooked. We picked the roasted spicy brussel sprouts - perfectly spicy but not too much so - and the corn cake. Because it was our anniversary (and we were expecting), we got a delicious dessert - a chocolate and peanut butter semifreddo. It was perfectly rich with the chocolate ganache over the frozen peanut butter center. We will definitely be back - obviously the prices are up there but you can't beat the food or the views. read more

HURRY UP & WAIT & WAIT & WAIT... We were seated and sat for 10 minutes with no sign of a server. Received water and someone walked by and dropped a bread basket, but no waiter acknowledged us. No matter how good the food may or may not be, we will not tolerate slow or poor service. At most upscale restaurants your server will at least greet you even if they are busy. However, they were not busy and had no excuse for bad service. We left and went elsewhere to celebrate my birthday. Where we got acknowledged within 1 minute of being seated. read more

Recently went here for date night. Super classy place. View is amazing with the special request of date night/anniversary got a special private seating with view of skyline. Oysters were just amazing! Drinks were spot on..! Steaks and side pairings were great! Have great options for sea food and vegetarian dishes as well. All in all a good place for a semi fine dining place, perfect for date nights, anniversaries, birthdays. Service was wonderful! read more

Had a reservation for Orange Sky that I so much wanted to enjoy for my husbands's 74th birthday on June 19th. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only good part of the meal was the views, that's it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sat at the first bar at the reception area waiting for our friends, asked for blue cheese stuffed olives and was told it took to much time and therefore they didn't have them, ordered two Kettle One's on the rocks, not cheap. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Then our friends joined and we were taken to our table with a beautiful view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friend asked for Blue Cheese stuffed olives and yes, we have them. That was the end of it. I couldn't eat the meatballs, way to salty and mushy in the center, terrible and the server's attendend took them away and also took my fork and knife even though I wan't done eating the terrible beet salad. OMG. Don't go here, it's not worth the money and none at our table would recommend to anyone, sad since I had high hopes for this place. Must be all the High Rollers that eat there for nothing. So embarrassing to invited our friends to celebrate the birthday celebration. Wow, shame on Talking Stick. read more

Escaped with the wife here for an evening recap. Had a few glasses of wine and some appetizers. Everything we had was thoughtful and tasty. The views were beautiful.

We just wanted to relax and not hear their concerns. read more

Very disappointed in the taste and quality of the food, especially for the price point. I do not mind at all paying for great quality food and amazing service, but this was not it. I was expecting much better of both. I've dined at Orange Sky in the past and enjoyed it so when I was staying at the hotel, it was a no brainer to eat here to celebrate our 1st anniversary. Pros 1. Nice of them to give us a free chocolate dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary. It was the best tasting thing of the entire meal. 2. Beautiful views especially on the patio. 3. Bread basket was good. Cons 1. Sea bass was fishy smelling, definitely more than a fresh piece of fish should be. 2. All of the food looked really good, but didn't taste nearly as good as it looked. 3. Almost everything was under and overcooked. For example, the sea bass was overcooked on the ends but the center was undercooked. Same thing with the ribeye- part of it was done medium and a large portion of it was rare. Ribeye is typically fattier but this cut had excessive amounts of fat throughout. 3. The carrots were tasty except more than half of them were undercooked and too crunchy. 4. Undercooked chayote squash tasted more like the texture of apple slices. 5. Server was sweet but so was her very heavy application of perfume. 6. Cocktail sauce tasted like straight ketchup. Definitely needed some doctoring up with more horseradish and lemon. read more

I have been here so many times I can't believe I have never written a review. How is that even possible? This is one of our favorite celebratory restaurants! The food and service are always phenomenal. The views are incredible. Recently here for Thanksgiving (second year celebrating here for turkey day ) and it was top notch.
