Orange Sky did not disappoint! We came for Christmas Dinner. The service was excellent, the views were amazing, and the food was delicious. I had the Pistachio crusted Sea Bass, it was seared to perfection with a crisp edge for crunch and loads of flavor. The Brussels Sprouts were so flavorful and crispy too. Other entrees pictured: chicken, Flat Iron Steak, Bison, and Filet with creamy mashed potatoes. For Dessert we shared the Lemon Blueberry Glazed Bundt cake- perfectly cooked and moist and gooey in the center and smelled incredible when it arrived (also check out the amazing presentation) we also shared the Butterscotch Bread Pudding- was also very tasty and had a French Toast consistency and flavor to it. This was a fantastic meal with incredible views of Scottsdale/Phoenix.

Wow, just wow. From the amazing sunset view, to amazing food and drinks. If you arrive early you can sit at the bar, get a drink and wait. Make sure you make reservations, and let them know anniversary or birthday etc...they will make sure you get a special treat !!

I was looking for high-end elegant restaurant to take my mom for her birthday because she never takes time to celebrate herself so I wanted to make it a special day. I heard Orange sky was such a place. I called ahead to make sure everything would be perfect for her birthday. When we arrived, we were greeted nicely. However, once we were seated, I was surprised at the seating selection they had picked out. We were in the middle of the restaurant away from the windows. The restaurant was not full and they had much nicer seating available. We had to leave the table to go watch the sunset, that's how bad the seating was. The actual seat that I sat in was all ripped and torn like you would expect to see at a low end place once the food arrived. It was OK at best. The serving sizes were very small, but it was also lacking taste, none of us were happy with her food was very bland and something you'd expect to get more or less and retirement home community or people have allergies. Server was very sweet and kind but I can't say I would recommend this place to anyone.

Nice place, service was good, not great. The atmosphere and views are amazing. The sides and appetizers were delicious and very visually appealing but the ribeye was okay. I asked for medium rare as did my friend, his was perfect mine was medium at best, when I showed the server she didn't seem to care much so I just ate it as was. Would I return, possibly, but I've dined at Capitol and Durantes and their steaks were far superior.

The atmosphere and service were impeccable. Credit to the staff for always accommodating our needs. The food was great. Appetizer: Ordered half dozen oyster raw and half dozen oysters grilled. The flavor profile of the grilled oysters with black garlic was fantastic. Main dish: Scallops were tender and juicy, and they had a slightly sweet and smoked flavor profile with the perfect amount of seasoning. The beef ribs were tender, and "fall-off-the-bone" juicy. It lacked a tiny bit of salt for taste, but you can ask for it on the side. Shining star: The cornbread on the side was the best cornbread I have tasted in my entire existence.

The Food and Presentation was fantastic. But being from the East Coast such a High End Restaurant should really have a stricter dress code. Some of the Patrons attire was so bad they could have the food on paper plates and have a drive thru outside. Orange Sky you have a fantastic establishment make your customers respect your status

Went here for our first wedding anniversary since we traveled to Scottsdale for our anniversary, and we chose the place because of the beautiful view. The views did not disappoint. The service was also amazing and the food was good. Drinks were good as well. They were kind enough to celebrate us. The night was really nice

A wonderful dining experience with excellent food, service and panoramic views. The menu has a lot of really great options and everything that we ordered tasted phenomenal and was presented very well. The waitstaff had to have been some of the best I've experienced. It was also fun being able to watch the chefs work in the kitchen. I hope to return to try more of the menu.
