The Spotted Donkey is a delightful dining experience that I highly recommend! The food was delicious--each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Whether you're in the mood for something savory or sweet, there's something to satisfy every palate.
We were here two nights in a row, because we could not find parking in down Town Scottsdale on a Saturday. But that was to our benefit. Why bother being in a place where everyone is trying so hard to be someone, when you can kick back and just be yourself at the Spotted Donkey. Don't get me wrong, there are wonderful places in downtown Scottsdale, but it comes with baggage.
Sitting at the bar, chatting with other patrons and the bartender, we once again ordered the the nachos. They are unbelievably delicious and serve two if you are also having an entree, of which all offerings are equally delicious. There is a wide selection of Tequila and locally brewed craft beers. What more could you ask for?
With seating at the bar (preferred), inside tucked away in banquettes for two or a four-top as well as outside under the stars, this place is both comfortable and a find. They will also cater to larger groups.
The service was equally impressive. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure our needs were met without being intrusive. They clearly take pride in providing a welcoming atmosphere, which made our meal even more enjoyable.
If you're staying at the Boulders Resort & Spa, The Spotted Donkey is incredibly convenient (just charge to your room). It's just a short distance away, making it an ideal spot to unwind after a day of activities. Overall, it's a must-visit for anyone in the area!
