An extensive wine library in a dramatic wrought iron framed glass cabinet is visible evidence of Palm Court’s unique atmosphere. For an impressive business dinner, an evening of romance, or to celebrate one of life’s special occasions, Palm Court is an indulgence you won’t want to miss. One of Scottsdale’s finest restaurants, Palm Court makes any evening memorable.

"I have 10 friends who come visit each October and their overwhelming choice for dining year after year is The Palm Court. The food is always delicious and prepared properly, the service is the best in the city and the location and view from the restaurant makes for a unhurried relaxing night. I would suggest The Palm Court to anyone and not be worried if they would like it. I know they would. I dine there 4-5 times a year and have for the past 12 years, it never disappoints."

"If you didn't take her here for Mother's Day this year, make sure to do it next year! My family brought me here for the best brunch ever. It was a perfect day and perfect experience! Good food, live music, beautiful surroundings, and top notch service with friendly faces. I hope they take me there again!"

"Went for Easter brunch. After a little chaos getting seated, all was good. Food was delicious, especially considering the size of the crowd they had. Service at the table was excellent. The only downside on the food was the deserts, most of which which were ok not great but again, a grand scale of people."

"Wonderful brunch venue; elegantly polished without being stuffy. Staff was excellent, from the valet parking to the attentive, yet unobtrusive waiter.
The food is excellent and varied with hot and cold stations, items cooked to order and a never empty champagne glass.
Highly recommend. A little pricey, but worth it.

"We stayed at the Scottsdale Resort and Conference Center and chose to eat at Palm Court so we didn't have to drive anywhere. We asked for a 7:00 reservation, but they said they couldn't fit us in until 8:00 so we took that one. When we arrived there was one large party (perhaps 20) and two smaller parties with less than 8. We were seated immediately in a nearly empty restaurant. The servers were attentive. As I am on an extremely restrictive diet, I ordered the salmon with some vegetables. The salmon was dry; the vegetables cooked just right and tasty. My husband ordered the beef tenderloin which was very tender but tasteless. The service was good, but we were both disappointed in the food and will most likely not eat there again."

"A very nice place to eat. It's beautiful and romantic for special occasions and the food was delicious! The lobster bisque was so fresh with big chunks of lobster. The service was fantastic and always around to get you anything you need. I only wish it wasn't so quiet, I felt like I had to whisper my conversation to my husband. We got more comfortable with talking as more people showed up for dinner. But overall, it's a great place to dIne and we definitely will again!"

"food was good.... service was extremely slow. Started out ok.. but when another couple sat down at the table next to us and ordered alcohol.. they seemed to get precedence. We had reservations at 7:15 and did not get our check until 9:38. We waited a tremendously long time between courses. Other than that everything was delicious and prepared well. Loved the atmosphere... just enjoyed it a little too long."
