Went here for dinner. Atmosphere is wonderful. Service was impeccable. The bread and dipping pesto sauce they give you is so good! We got the chicken gnocchi and the fish special. Both were okay. They gave us a free happy anniversary dessert which was so lovely. read more

This restaurant is amazing. The food is always fresh, creative, and perfectly prepared every time. Over the years we have dinner here a couple times a year and it never disappoints. Our regular waiter is Ollie and he, along with the rest of the staff always delivers first class service. There have been times when we planned our trip there and if there were dishes that no longer appeared on the menu, we were able to call ahead and they would prepare it for us. Top flight restaurant and resort, a must when in Scottsdale, AZ. read more

The service was absolutely incredible. The server, manager, chef, and hostess were beyond attentive and made us feel like we were the only patrons in the fully seated dining area. The ambiance was the perfect blend of elegant and comfortable. With the talented live band accompanying an exquisite menu, Prado truly delivered on a simple but upscale night out. The food and service exceeded expectation. I highly recommend this gem read more

I had their seafood pasta and it was worth every penny!! My husband took me for Valentine's Day and I told him he better bring me back for my birthday in April, however, it seems like they are closed due to the pandemic. I will be returning as soon as they open!! AMAZING!! read more

Wow. The setting is beautiful. Our server was knowledgeable (both about the food and the wine), friendly (without being too friendly) and competent. The food was fantastic. And both the chef and the sous chef came out to see how we enjoyed our meal. I notice that one of the other reviewers mentioned how good the Branzino was. I also had this fish dish and it was exceptional. But so were the braised short ribs my wife selected. This experience was way beyond anything I would expect at a hotel restaurant. read more

Overpriced small portions. Deadsville. The cauliflower salad and kale salad were good but portions per price are highway robbery. Go to Hillstone. read more

Absolutely positively one of the best restaurants I have eaten at. Service, food, decor, view are #1. A must when visiting Phoenix area. I shall return. read more

Nice ambiance. Long wait for server to take our order for drinks. Had to grab the waiter's attention and he acted like he forgot about us and made it seem like we were the ones taking a long time deciding. No. We ordered. Then the wait. Ordered and appetizer (calamari) which came quickly enough and tasted good. Then the real wait for the entrees. 45 minutes or so. Food tasted pretty good but small portions. No follow up from the waiter. We were done with our food and finally he came by but to deliver food to the table next to us. No acknowledgement at all. Seriously? We got up and left. We're staying at the resort so we figure they'll bill the room anyway. Awful service. Much like the rest of these reviews. read more

This resort restaurant is more of a destination than a eatry. It boast a great chef and a unbelievable decor. The service is good, but not over the top. Entree's range form pastas to heavy red meat. The wine list is very european, so if you like California whites and reds, bring your own favorite. You can get out of there for $50 a plate if you don't order a bottle of wine. Of the resort restaurants, this is one of the best. read more

Smail, the Executive Chef, put together one of the best meals we have ever had. His emphasis is on fresh ingredients and simplicity with a little Mediterranean flare. Everything we had was cooked to absolute perfection and the sea bass especially was literally out of this world. I have never had fish so soft, juicy(typically I don't use this term to describe fish) and had the perfect crust on the top. I highly recommend this dish, it's unreal. Kudos to the entire team as well. The wait staff was fantastic and the managers/chef stopped by a few times just to chat and make sure we had everything we needed. I have eaten at many famous restaurants and have to say that this night stands out as one of the best, thank you! read more

A great new Spanish restaurant in the brand new Intercontinental Hotel in Paradise Valley. Love the ambiance of this place, I feel like I am in some far removed castle somewhere outside Barcelona. The lighting and setting is beautiful. And the food is as good as Spanish cuisine gets. The octopus salad that we ordered was very small portion wise, like the size of a crab cake. But it was a very tasty little bite. Full of the olive flavors that it was made with. There were so many tantalizing items on the menu. It was a tough choice between all the paella's and stews. I ended up having the basque cod stew and was delighted with my choice. Usually when I see cod , I am reminded of fish sticks I ate when I was young. But this was not any fish stick cod! It was melty and buttery and went perfect with the veggies in the stew. I could eat this every night. Not only will I be back to eat this wonderful basque cod stew again, I will be back just to chill in their bar and take in the beautiful atmosphere on a lovely AZ winter night. read more

We stayed at the Omni and had both dinner and breakfast at Prado. Both meals were delicious and the service was amazing. Our server for breakfast was Carmen, and she was outstanding. Her great sense of humor added to starting our day off correctly. The roasted cauliflower tapas at dinner was astounding. read more

I wish I can give zero star for their poor, unacceptable service. Neither the waiter nor the manager knew the cocktail my friend ordered, which had been on their menu but discontinued at some point; instead of offering alternatives, the manager told the waiter to "make something similar to blah blah" in a very snappy manner. We could very well hear you - only two feet away from you. Strangely excellent quality service coming from a bar in a renowned Omni Resort! read more

Amazing place! The food is spectacular - the atmosphere wonderful. The food is "clean" not mucked up. The staff is great. Poolside lunch is great too! And they dont sweat you for being a "local" to enjoy the pool/resort! This is my favorite resort in Scottsdale, hands down! Mainly because I don't feel like I am in Scottsdale! Love this place! read more

Wonderful anniversary dinner! Excellent service, delicious food, beautiful ambience . We just found this local gem and we will be back. Chef came out twice to congratulate us and each time brought a complementary item, first an amazing eggplant tapas plate and then a dessert PLATTER with 3 made in house delicious desserts (not tastings but full size desserts). Can not think of a better way to celebrate a special event or just have a delicious dinner in a beautiful relaxing atmosphere. read more

I went to Prado during Restaurant Week with my favorite dining companion Mike B. It was my "Last Supper" before getting my tonsils out this week. Since it's Friday night and I just had Jello for dinner, I thought this is a good time to reminisce about Prado and write my very 1st Yelp review. We had early reservations for Sunday night. Service was great, waiter was handsome (sure, I say it matters), decor was very comfortable and nice. Since it was during restaurant week, our selections were from a limited menu, but the $29 included a glass of wine. Bonus! I have to assume that the Restaurant week menu has smaller servings than the regular menu, because for one of our appetizers, the Day Boat Scallops, was actually one scallop. It was good, but I added salt to it, which I rarely do. For dinner I really enjoyed the flat iron steak, very tender, great flavor. For dessert we tried a Hazelnut cake and a chocolate cake with gelato. I thought the Hazelnut cake was the big winner - light and delicious. I think it's hard to really judge a restaurant during restaurant week, just because it's difficult to tell how things like portions translate to the regular menu (like the one scallop). Now if only I had been smart and scheduled my tonsils to come out AFTER restaurant week, I'd have more restaurants to review. ;) read more

Sitting at the tapas bar with my husband included 12 tapas, sangria, AND desert, I ordered paella that did not disappoint. It was such a great experience and a steal for tapas at $60. Chef Gigi...we coming back for ya! BEST...MEAL...EVER!!!! Thanks for the tapas and a fun night! read more

Grandpa and Carmen are the best. I think people mistakenly review the restaurant with the hotel etc. This is the place for Sunday brunch! The views are truly amazing! We eat at only the finest restaurants and I'm telling you this is a great place! Relax and enjoy! read more

My third visit b/c I love the views of Camelback at sunset. I love the zucchini florets and the pasta tastes homemade. I would have probably given four stars, but the service was blase'. The prices are a bit on the high side. We opted for Chelsea's Kitchen for dessert b/c it has been disappointing in the past but it looks like their adding desserts from Julia Baker. WIll have to try next visit. read more

We had a party of 11 in a private room. The service was terrible. We waited at least 45 minutes for our food and then it came out in 3 or 4 waves. The very last plate brought out was a salad and they couldn't even bring the chicken out with it! So after waiting forever for our meals they have the nerve to say "the chicken wasn't ready for the salad but we didn't want you to have to wait for your salad". Ridiculous. Food was good, not great, and service was terrible. Would not recommend read more

The best breakfast experience EVER! Grandpa Frank was there to make sure our meal did not disappoint. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and he even surprised us with the most delicious cheesecake I've ever had! Grandpa Frank truly made us feel like family and the chef did amazing preparing our meal. We will be back! read more

I only gave this 5 stars because that was the limit. My wife and I just had a one-to-one meal with the Head Chef, Claudia. His passion for food is incredible, the man is a genius. The experience was $65 per head. I defy anywhere in Scottsdale to match this for value for money! read more

We went to prado for diner last night! For appetizer we had the beat salad and the burrata. For dinner the lamb t-bone and the sonoma chicken. Dessert the churros. Everything was delicious, very simple and rustic from the atomsphere to the dishes itself. Would definately return. read more

What an experience. Hospitality was on point from beginning to end. Went to the bar after dinner and had a blast. Our bartender Kyle was gracious and accommodating, and we had so much fun chatting with him. What a great guy. All the food was great but the Caesar salad was a stand out and the vanilla gelato was so damn good. Will be back for sure! read more

Upon my arrival to the hotel, I wandered into Prado's bar area until my room was ready. The staff was soooo helpful and friendly. Ann and Angela took the time to show me around the resort and talk about the Scottsdale area. During my stay, I had an early dinner and the service was average (not Ann or Angela), as was the food. Granted, the menu was not my style, but I can still appreciate good food when I eat it. The wine choices were poor. :( But the atmosphere...the atmosphere inside and out was spectacular!! It was romantic and inviting. They had live music, which was relaxing and fun. read more

I liked sitting outside on the patio. The view of Camelback mountain is hard to beat. I was not excited by the drink list. I tend to judge restaurants immediately by their drink lists. For a hotel, it was boring and hotels in AZ should know better. The menu for the the restaurant looked good. There were quite a few things that I would have ordered. Since this was a complimentary dinner, I decided to go with the steak, although the seafood ravioli looked good. We also started with the burrata cheese and tomatoes, which was probably the best course. I had the rib-eye which was good, but I had asked to change out the potatoes, and they didn't ....Oh well. Overall, the place is good, service is good, and atmosphere is very nice. I think that a better drink list, and a few more seafood items on the menu might be an improvement. read more

Came for brunch and made the mistake of sitting at a high top by the bar since there was a wait for seating in the main dining room. We had the brunch buffet so the food was easy to access but no one ever came to wait on us so had to ask the hostess for utensils and a random waiter for drinks who never followed up with us again (I assume they thought we were being helped by someone else). We had to get the hostess to track down another random waiter to get our check printed too. I like buffets in that there is minimal interaction with wait staff but SOME I think is needed. You know, so you can have a water while you're choking down your dry pancake. I think it was $20 for the buffet and $26 for bigger buffet option where you could get sausage links, bacon and pancakes. That isn't clearly labeled though so just look at the menu at what the continental $20 buffet entails if you don't want the bigger one. The continental comes with a waffle an omelet station where you could build your own. That cook did make me a pretty great omelet. Also, the restaurant setting itself was nice- and glad I tried it since I hadn't before but I wouldn't go back. read more

Great food in a cool space. There was live acoustic guitar all night which was incredible. We loved the fire pits outside too. Good service and a great menu for sharing although you could order separately too. We weren't able to get outside but the patio looked nice (and warmer) read more

visited Prado for my 22nd birthday dinner. Sad to say that this place is just OK. We started off with the burrata appetizer served with foccacia bread (which was untoasted). flavor was good but hard to enjoyed with cold, chewy bread. I had the sea scallops with chorizo risotto. Dish came with 3 beautifully cooked and seasoned scallops and mediocre risotto. The mister got the gnocchi dish which was excellent, however portion size was SO small. Enjoyed two cocktails one with some ginger syrup, great. I do not recommend the purple haze drink. Overall, the menu selection was small and the cuisine did not meet the standards of fine dining. Total ripoff and I would not return. read more

The server was kinda silly but overall he was kind. The busboy was on top of it and they remembered it was our anniversary so that was very special. I'm sad to say that our food was mediocre. I ordered the gnocchi and my husband orders the salmon. The gnocchi was really mushy and oily. The salmon was bland. The cauliflower app was really yummy. I won't be coming back. Our bill was over $100 and I just didn't feel it was worth it. read more

Ate breakfast here during my stay and was thoroughly disappointed. While my over easy eggs had a runny yoke, they had been tragically cooked too quickly. They were tough and difficult to cut. My bacon was hard, dry and overdone. The service was good, but I'm not sure if that would entice me to return. read more

The food was good. Not outstanding, but not junk either. I had the Squid Ink Angel Hair Pasta ($29) and my wife had the Rib Eye ($42). Pretty pricey for what you get, but we are staying at Montelucia Resort for our honeymoon and aren't counting pennies this week. The restaurant is beautiful and comfortable and the employees were really nice. I think we'll try something off property for our next dinner. read more

Went for Sunday brunch. We made reservations for our party of six by phone in advance. Beautiful restaurant, killer view. The brunch was buffet-style, cold plates of cut fruit, cheeses, antipasti, salame, etc. Hot foods in covered chafing dishes: bacon, sausages, potatoes, quesadillas/breakfast tacos, pancakes, waffles, etc. Omelet bar with name-your-own omelets. Bagels/lox/cream cheese. Very tasty food, and there will be something for everyone. Everything VERY fresh, constantly restocked, and high quality. Coffee cups sometimes not refilled, waters not refilled, OJ only offered at beginning of meal and then not refilled. Waitress was not busy, so this is why we only give four stars. If she had more "hustle" we would have awarded five stars due to the surroundings, the food quality and variety, and the friendliness of the manager who stopped by our table three times during the meal to make sure we had everything we needed. Classy operation; we'll definitely be back. read more

Pretty upset. Decided to chill in the lounge area of the restaurant. I ordered two glasses of wine ranging between $13-15 a glass, which in my opinion is a nice, solid glass of wine you want to enjoy to the final drop. Both times my female server took my glass away before I finished it. There's not much I get upset over, but when it comes to a $60 bill that consists of only two glasses of wine and a cheese plate, I except to be able to enjoy everything to the very end #feelrippedoff read more

Would have to agree with the waiter who said to go to El Charro instead! The highly recommended calamari was terrible. We sent it back twice. The beet salad was excellent. The highly recommended fillet was smothered in gravy and the potatoes took over the plate along with soggy brussel sprouts.. The waitress was very nice. Drinks were good but very expensive. We will not be going back. read more

I love Prado. I have dined there several times and every time the food options are better and better. The Halibut is out of this world. The service can be slow at sometimes but the atmosphere and live music makes up for it. Prado practices the slo food movement and I think that is why the servers take their time. The Mbar in the front of the venue has happy hours that are a lot of fun $5 wine and tapas which allow you to sample the menu at an affordable price. Definitely going back! read more

My only experience with Prado is it's Sunday brunch -- which is the skimpiest brunch I have ever seen. At $26, it is outrageously over priced. Aside from a pretty good omelet station, which is a given for any branch local, there is nothing to recommend this brunch. Although we arrived just 20 minutes after the brunch's starting hour, the only hot items available on our pass through were some turkey sausages (flavorless except for some over-spiced parts), one piece of French toast and a few spoonsful of decidedly mediocre scrambled eggs with cheese and ham. When we asked if the serving trays would be replenished soon, the waitress was surprised to hear they were empty, and refilled them sparingly after quite a long wait. There is no carving station, no luncheon salads, nothing but hash browns, the aforementioned turkey sausage, bacon, French toast and the cheese eggs at the hot table. The cold station contained two types of bread, a small plate of shaved salmon and assorted bland fruits. Had I not been with a group that paid in advance, I would have left to go to any other restaurant in the area and get some food. read more

Good service. Nice atmosphere. Rubbery burger. 6 raviolis for 18 bux.

We went here for a holiday weekend while staying at the hotel. Thinking the food would have to be good for the extremely high price we went in with high expectations. The food was VERY mediocre at best. The scallops were cooked well, but over seasoned and the risotto they came with was gross. The salmon was overcooked and came with a vegetable side that ever more disgusting than the risotto which we could not finish. Needless to say we will not be going back... read more

You know, this place can be slow, as other commentators have remarked. But, it's a classy place, not a McDonald's or Olive Garden. We found all the delicious to be spot on--good quality. Salmon, and gnocchi were our favorites. We dined there three nights in a row too. After so much heat and moving around, it's nice to just sit back and savor. Keep in mind we have a one year old, who went crazy over the pesto roasted tomatoes (gnocchi). read more
