"Ocean 44 is the final boss of dining out in Scottsdale: white tablecloths, expertly seared steaks, and bourbon that’ll make your wallet sweat. This seafood and steakhouse is where you should celebrate landing a big deal or to impress someone who knows their way around a wine list—consider it the War and Peace of fine vino. Ocean 44 doesn’t do small. The steakhouse meatballs are as big as baseballs (your choice of three or more) and the crispy shrimp deviled eggs are so loaded you’ll need to attack them in two bites. The chilled silverware for your BLT wedge salad and table towel service that arrives after the medium bone-in filet are just subtle reminders that you’re in the bigs now. So throw on a collared shirt, silence your notifications, and maybe even spring for an Uber Black." - Lauren Topor
