What's the perfect night out in Scottsdale look like this 2020 holiday season? We're glad you asked - it begins with cocktails at The Americano Restaurant #theAmericano located in N. Scottsdale on Scottsdale Road just south of the 101. It's a happening scene at the bar and Nicholas is there to recommend the best of the holiday wine selection. Or, cocktails may be just what the doctor ordered at Mastero's Steakhouse #MasterosSteakhouse also in N Scottsdale at Pinnacle Peak Road and Pima. Next, we recommend a tasteful dining experience at Elements Restaurant, in the Sanctuary Resort #Elements, this place is off the charts for view and ambiance. It's about as romantic as a restaurant gets and the wait staff is out-of-this-world! Really! Make a reservation, this place is AWESOME and certain to book up quickly! Finally, for after dinner drinks, we recommend a romantic setting with more ambiance than heaven itself at The Living Room #TheLivingRoom. We can't say enough about this place - The Living Room features a living room setting complete with large, comfy couches, fire-pits, specialty cocktails, bourbons and just about anything that tickles your fancy! Ask for Tom Kaufman and tell him Jake at Scottsdale Road sent you. He'll take real good care of you and your party!
