We were excited to hear about Lure Fish House opening in Scottsdale a few months back. We love trying new places and seafood is one of our favorites. Lure comes to us via Southern California where there are a few locations and this is the first location in Arizona. The design of the restaurant is beautiful. It is open and airy and the whites and blues give it a coastal feel. There is an open-air raw oyster bar where you can watch the chefs prepare and shuck fresh shellfish. There are two outdoor patios with the same color schemes and ample seating.     We went to Lure for lunch a few weeks back and enjoyed it immensely. Our server could not have been kinder and was happy to go over any menu questions and the food itself was delicious.To start, we ordered the Crispy Calamari that comes w...

- Drexyl Modern American Food in Scottsdale AZ-In the Shops at Gainey Village, just across the way from The Hash Kitchen, you will find Drexyl. Drexyl focuses on American cuisine with inspiration from other parts of the globe. We were there a couple of weeks ago for the first time and really enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere.We were greeted warmly upon entering and given a choice of seating - booth, table or patio. Our server was very friendly and was excited to talk about the different lunch options and specials.We are big fans of the soft pretzel trend we see around, so we had to order the Soft Pretzel Sticks. These are some of the best we have had. They were hot with the perfect amount of salt and chewiness and were served with two dipping sauces, a beer mustard sauce and a poblano...

- The Hash Kitchen in Scottsdale -Last week, I was able to visit and eat at The Hash Kitchen in the Gainey Village location. This breakfast and brunch destination was well worth the visit and I look forward to going back soon.Upon entering, you come upon an enormous semi-circle topped with dozens of items meant for your custom bloody mary. This bloody mary bar is the most extensive and impressive I have seen and bloody mary fans are sure to have lots of fun  making up new versions. And if you are not up for a cocktail in the morning, they do offer a virgin option so you can create without the alcohol.The menu at The Hash Kitchen is very extensive. There are lots of favorites on there as well as favorites with a new twist. Here are some of the main offerings: Hashes - Since the restauran...

Great Lunch Today -- Daily Dose -- Downtown Scottsdale Arizona I enjoyed a great business lunch today at the Daily Dose, in Downtown Scottsdale Arizona (Scottsdale Road, south of Indian School Road). Another gorgeous Autumn Day in Arizona, so we enjoyed the outdoor patio.  I had the Blue Crab Cake Sandwich, which is topped with melted swiss, grilled onions and a red chili sauce -- served on a toasted marble rye.  (Forgive me -- I meant to take a picture of it, but was so hungry that I forgot!) I will look forward to working my way through some of the other menu items on future visits.  After lunch, on my way to the car, I noticed an interesting wall mural on one of the buildings.  I snapped the following picture to give you a glimpse. Wall Mural -- Downtown Scottsdale Arizona   Great Lu...
