"I thoroughly enjoyed the Mother's Day brunch. There were plenty of choices and a variety of interesting items for both adults and kids. We will certainly be back next year!"

"The setting was great.. However... We did not like the LIMITED MENU for Sunday... It almost made us walk out... The prices were ridiculously high. We paid 36 a piece for a small piece of sea bass and 14 each for a edge salad...!!! All in all, it was $175 for the meal... Outrageous!!!"

"I had a business dinner at Talavera and the food was exactly what I would expect from a four seasons restaurant. Their wine list was phenomenal as was their liquor selection. I would definitely recommend this restaurant in a heart beat"

"This restaurant was great. I took my girlfriend there for her birthday. Although I had reservations, we had to wait a little extra to get to the patio (as was expected). But it was worth it. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was outstanding."

"We made a return trip to this restaurant on our last night of a recent trip to AZ. We were seated on the patio, at the rail just in time to see the sun go behind Pinnacle Peak. The gathering dusk and twinkling lights of Phoenix came up and provided a spectacular view and romantic ambiance! The corn and lobster bisque (done to my dietary needs) was as spectacular as the sunset. My husband's salmon and tuna appetizer was fresh and delightful. The bison which we both had was delicious and perfectly cooked (again to our request)-as were the vegetable sides. We ended the meal with a luscious chocolate souffle to die for! With attentive and professional servers we could not have asked for more for the end of a lovely vacation.We will return....."

"Had dinner her on March 24th for our anniversary. The service was good, pretty relaxed and the pace of the service was just right.
The prices are high, but the food quality is excellent and you will be well taken care of!
The lobster bisque and corn soup was delicious as was the bone-in rib eye!"

"Lovely restaurant located in the Desert Ridge Marriott. One vegan diner and the salad with grilled veggies was outstanding, You say, "what is the big deal with a vegetable salad?" The fresh veggies perfectly grilled had that great grilled taste and the homemade dressing was outstanding. Trust me, as a vegan, it is hard to get something that delicious unless I prepare it at home! Dining partners thought the pasta dishes were 'just ok.'"

"We sat outside on the patio, on a beautiful Spring evening, with great views and music from the wedding being held below. Great venue. The food was just OK, in fact two of us ordered the NY Steak which was less than impressive quality, not prime grade and cold by the time it was served. One comment was "No wonder they were smothered in Bluecheese" The scallops and Salmon were very good, but the salads and soups were nothing great.
I will say that the wine recommendations for reasonably priced wines were very good, and the wine list was pretty good. I may come back with friends more into wines, but only to sip and enjoy the view...not for a complete meal."

"We really enjoyed our dinner at Talavera. Every course was just delicious. The warm rolls, tuna, salad, mac and cheese, and the surprise treat at the end was amazing. We will return."

"We were not disappointed...my uncle said it was the best steak he had ever eaten...the service was impecable...and the view, especially at sunset was magnificent. A bit pricier than the $$$ indicated (I think that this is more a $$$$ restaurant)...but worth it!!!"

"From the beginning, our appetites whetted with a wonderful Lobster Bisque, our anticipation of the main courses was not disappointed by the savory petite Filet Migon or the creative Striped Bass. The perfect conclusion to this meal was, without a doubt, the chocolate souffle, so rich, so decadent. With food of this caliber and a view so breath-taking, this makes Talavera a true destination of worth to all those with a special someone with which they would love to share a fine dining experience."

"Food was cold, wine was warm. Waiter had an "assistant," who wasn't helpful -- kept taking things off of our table before we were done When I brought up the issues with the person who stopped by the table to ask us how our dinner was -- her approach was to give us 3 desserts. Ironically, I don't like sweets or dessert. Probably better to have done nothing. We had eaten here a few years ago and it was much much better."

"My family and I had a great time at Talavera celebrating my sister's birthday! We recieved great service from the moment I walked in to the time we left. The person who made our first experience at Talavera really special was Mirra our server. She was amazing with the way she treated us and the extra effort she put in to make it really special and enjoyable for the whole family, including my 2 year old niece. The food was great too, and the view and ambiance indoors and outside of the restaurant was so pretty."

"This is our favorite Scottsdale restaurant. The food is to die for, the service friendly and efficient, and the ambiance is super. A perfect restaurant. The only complaint is the price of a cup of coffee... $7.00 is a bit over the top."

"We held a business dinner and everyone at the table wanted to lick their plates. The view, the fireplaces, the serive - all outstanding. The bread is baked on the spot/daily and you can taste the difference. Menu has great options with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend! ;)"

"Food was very good, but overpriced for the quality. Ambience was nice but a bit noisy and again not comparable to price (example, no tablecloths). There was a large pary there which contributed to the noise factor. The service was good, but confusing as there were several servers. Would have preferred one contact person."

"This restaurant was absolutely amazing in all ways. My bf was here and we went for dinner the other night. The decor, ambiance, quietness, location was wonderful. The staff was impeccable and the food was indescribably delicious. We were also greeted by both chefs to ensure that our visit was to our liking...I must go back to this place, it was a very memorable evening!"

"We live so close and have never tried this restaurant. It rivals our favorite from our hometown in Columbus, Ohio, The Refectory. Although not French, the quality of service, food, wine and food presentation were top notch. The wine list is top notch and we found the perfect bottle for what we wanted to spend, and it was NOT the Screaming Eagle for $6250!! The Foie Gras was melt in your mouth wonderful and included the small dollop of peach preserve that goes so well with seared foie gras. I enjoyed their version of a caesar salad with tiny tempera shrimp and the horseradish crusted filet mignon, medium rare to perfection! We also shared the chocolate soufflé with our coffee. Truly a wonderful winter evening out."
