Old Town Scottsdale Everything from Dining, Nightlife to What to Do
EL CHORRO LODGE
Conveniently nestled between Scottsdale and Phoenix, Paradise Valley’s historic El Chorro offers an authentic Arizona dining experience with stunning views of the Valley’s most prominent landmark, Camelback Mountain. Generations of Valley residents and visitors alike frequent El Chorro to savor seasonal cuisine featuring the highest quality in sustainable, locally grown, all natural ingredients, including herbs and produce from the El Chorro garden. Behind the bar, El Chorro’s gifted team of mixologists complement the restaurant’s menu with seasonally inspired, handcrafted cocktails and an expansive wine selection. The patio dining setting is quite magical. It’s no wonder that people are trying to bring a slice of this into their own homes by purchasing outdoor furniture. In fact, wicker furniture for sale looks very suitable for recreating this ambience.

And of course, the signature sticky buns. El Chorro serves dinner daily starting at 5 p.m., with happy hour from 5 to 6 p.m.; Sunday brunch is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

LON’S AT THE HERMOSA INN
At LON’s at The Hermosa, fine dining in Scottsdale is at its best where age-old cooking methods of smoking, roasting and wood-grilling are employed along with European techniques. The cuisine offered at LON’s can be characterized as comfort cuisine that utilizes the flavors of the region and is a product of natural and sustainable resources. The use of authentic Arizona flavors with cutting-edge trends speaks to what you will find on the menu when dining at LON’s. Dine fireside or fountain-side on the elegant patio. Tucked in a quiet Paradise Valley neighborhood, away from the bustle of the city, dining at Lon’s feels like having a meal in a friend’s backyard.
The one-acre organic garden just outside of Lon’s kitchen provides fresh ingredients for the culinary team. Saturday and Sunday brunch highlights include the fresh brioche “monkey bread,” and mesquite honey pancakes with Arizona honeycomb. For a delightful evening under the stars, pop over to the adjacent Last Drop Bar for fine spirits and nightly happy hour.

ISABELLA’S KITCHEN
We created Isabella’s Kitchen for the person who takes their food and drink seriously without taking themselves too seriously. That’s why the dress code is casual and the average ticket is very manageable. The Chef crafts the menu items from fresh ingredients. That’s just how he operates. This tried-and-true method delivers flavors reminiscent of the American Italian favorites we all grew up enjoying, with our Chef’s signature flare.
The Backyard Patio offers open-air and covered outdoor seating near two signature blue tiled fire pits, a huge grassy area, Talon course and Isabella’s Juniper-topped Feature Table overlooking it all. The Patio also offers warm touches designed to encourage guests to relax and enjoy the ambiance. Originally built around a 150-year-old Saguaro cactus, the Exterior Patio offers covered open-air dining with a fireplace, thermal shades and misters. The Courtyard serves as a versatile outdoor space to dine, drink or enjoy light fare in a casual outdoor-living setting. They managed to get awnings from Miles Ahead Blinds And Awnings which gives some much-needed shade in the summer months. It also accommodates large parties and group gatherings of up to 200 guests.
The restaurant is open daily fro 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and is located across the street from Grayhawk Golf Club.
