"Time your visit right, and this high-end restaurant, situated on the 15th floor of Talking Stick Resort, completely delivers on its name, offering breathtaking views of metro Phoenix’s famously vivid sunsets. The extensive menu, which pays homage to the Sonoran Desert, features rack-roasted oysters, short rib osso buco with Oaxacan hominy cakes, pork belly with apricot guajillo sauce, pibil-style Ora King salmon, and game such as deer, antelope, and bison. Both wine and food prices are surprisingly reasonable, considering the food, atmosphere, and experience." - Nikki Buchanan

Extremely Disappointed! I made a reservation at Orange Sky Lounge on May 3, 2025 to dine on May 6, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. I arrived early, around 6:00 p.m., with the excitement of enjoying dinner while watching the sunset—a highlight that I had specifically requested in my reservation notes: window seating to view the sunset. I was told I had to wait until 7:00 p.m. to be seated, which was fine, and I ordered a drink at the bar. However, when it was time to be seated, I was directed to a booth away from the windows. I explained that my reservation specifically requested a window seat, but was then informed—only at that moment—that window seating required a $200 minimum spend for dinner. As I was dining alone, it became clear that I didn’t meet that threshold, and no exception was considered. There was no mention of this minimum anywhere on the reservation site, nor was I contacted about it beforehand. I felt completely blindsided, disappointed, and frankly, disgusted by the lack of transparency and inflexible policy. I felt like I was penalized simply for dining alone. The entire point of choosing this restaurant, out of the many excellent dining options in Scottsdale, was to enjoy a meal while watching the sunset. That was taken from me due to unclear policies and poor communication. I want to take a moment to commend Vicki, a staff member who was kind, attentive, and the one bright spot during my visit. Her customer service was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, her professionalism does not make up for the overall experience, which literally left a bad taste in my mouth. I will be returning to the area in a couple of months, but I will never step foot in Orange Sky Lounge again. Their business practices are deceptive, and they clearly lack regard for their guests’ expectations. If you’re considering this spot for the views—be warned! Note: There were plenty of empty seats by the windows when I arrived and when I left (review pictures). There was no reasonable excuse for denying me the seat I requested in my reservation.

Orange Sky did not disappoint! We came for Christmas Dinner. The service was excellent, the views were amazing, and the food was delicious. I had the Pistachio crusted Sea Bass, it was seared to perfection with a crisp edge for crunch and loads of flavor. The Brussels Sprouts were so flavorful and crispy too. Other entrees pictured: chicken, Flat Iron Steak, Bison, and Filet with creamy mashed potatoes. For Dessert we shared the Lemon Blueberry Glazed Bundt cake- perfectly cooked and moist and gooey in the center and smelled incredible when it arrived (also check out the amazing presentation) we also shared the Butterscotch Bread Pudding- was also very tasty and had a French Toast consistency and flavor to it. This was a fantastic meal with incredible views of Scottsdale/Phoenix.

Wow, just wow. From the amazing sunset view, to amazing food and drinks. If you arrive early you can sit at the bar, get a drink and wait. Make sure you make reservations, and let them know anniversary or birthday etc...they will make sure you get a special treat !!

IF WALMART TRIED FINE DINING, IT WOULD BE ORANGE SKY 1. They can't keep reservations: I made a reservation for a window seat for my wife's birthday at sunset. We arrived and the assistant hostess said, "You reserved a window seat?". When I confirmed she let me know they didn't have any. It's funny that a restaurant on a reservation doesn't know how to hold a reservation. The one girl at the front had zero personality and didn’t smile. It's probably because they know they aren't good at keeping reservations. They informed us there was a table on the patio, or in the dining room. We didn't even want to stay at that point. The view was part of the appeal and sitting on the patio which is not fine dining is a far cry from our expectations. 2. The patio is NOT the same as the dining room: However, we did go sit outside and it was breezy, the floor is stained and the tables don't have linens. The patio is where other people can just come and walk around so you feel like you're on display, not in a dining room, because you're not. It's a deescalted experience with the same menu and there were a lot of people just walking around on the patio because there is an amazing view, if you’re walking around, not if you’re dining. 3. Timing: It took a long time from the time we were seated before we were acknowledged by anyone. The runner brought water and said our server would be with us shortly. Do we reset the time waited since the water was delivered, because shortly passed by a few minutes ago? 4. Views: Once our server arrived, we had plenty of time to decide we didn't want to sit on the patio. It wasn't warm, it was breezy, and it was not a window seat. Our server, Lauren I believe her name was, guided us to a booth inside the dining room. So, here we are, 15 stories up in a place with some amazing views of the valley (from most seats) but what we got was a view of two very old people eating at the table in front of us. NO VIEW FOR YOU!!! The booths face north and there are no views because of the height of the booths. So now, no window and no view. We look at each other and decide to give this a go. By this time we had been there for 22 minutes, we don't have a drink, and hadn't even ordered one. Add that to the timing point. In addition, the dining room is just a big open room. It feels pretty uninspired. 5. They Can't Do Bread: Before we had ordered a drink, and right after sitting at the booth, we received a basket of bread. They must keep the bread in the fridge. It wasn't even room temperature but worse, it was stale. Before we had indulged in the sorry excuse for bread, we ordered a margarita. I wanted to order a beer but she ran through all the names so fast, I don't know which one is which so I held off. A place charging these prices can't print up a list? Beer selection isn't that volatile. I ended up ordering the one beer I knew and then my wife's margarita came out, but it was a Paloma. When discussed with the waitress she said, "Well I wrote down Paloma!". Yeah, we're done here. She asked if we wanted another round or to order food, and we let her know that we wouldn't be having dinner there. Then she really turned on the charm and removed all pleasantries from her language. When we paid, there was no word whatsoever. We left a 60% tip on the two drinks even though one of them was wrong. 6. Attention to detail: If you can't honor a reservation, let the customer know. When you put the paper menus into the folder, if you mess up and fold the paper, remove it and put a nice one in. Stains on the patio don't add to the value of a meal, they take away from everything. It's unsightly. A manager should touch each table throughout the night. When you notice that there are no drinks or starters on a table that has been moved, and around for 20+ minutes, had their reservations not honored, you touch base. We ended up going to Season's 52. I had the filet mignon, the birthday girl had the scallops. It was a superior experience from the moment we walked in until we left.

I decided to give 4 stars (the experience was 2-3 stars when we arrived and later became 4 star). Hostess attitude was frosty at best. We asked if we could be seated a bit early and she snootily said they’re busy. At our reservation time, we again asked to be seated and she again told us to sit down and she would get to us. Finally we were seated. The dining room wasn’t busy at all. Not a great first impression for service. The views from the bar and the dining room are stunning. The sun began setting at the tail end of our dinner and that was very beautiful. The food was really good. I split a NY strip and a lobster tail with one of my friends, the other had a sampler platter of interesting and unusual meats, like ostrich. Very delicious! The cocktails were yummy, inventive and refreshing. We shared a lemon blueberry dessert that was 5 star!

The atmosphere and service were impeccable. Credit to the staff for always accommodating our needs. The food was great. Appetizer: Ordered half dozen oyster raw and half dozen oysters grilled. The flavor profile of the grilled oysters with black garlic was fantastic. Main dish: Scallops were tender and juicy, and they had a slightly sweet and smoked flavor profile with the perfect amount of seasoning. The beef ribs were tender, and "fall-off-the-bone" juicy. It lacked a tiny bit of salt for taste, but you can ask for it on the side. Shining star: The cornbread on the side was the best cornbread I have tasted in my entire existence.

I was looking for high-end elegant restaurant to take my mom for her birthday because she never takes time to celebrate herself so I wanted to make it a special day. I heard Orange sky was such a place. I called ahead to make sure everything would be perfect for her birthday. When we arrived, we were greeted nicely. However, once we were seated, I was surprised at the seating selection they had picked out. We were in the middle of the restaurant away from the windows. The restaurant was not full and they had much nicer seating available. We had to leave the table to go watch the sunset, that's how bad the seating was. The actual seat that I sat in was all ripped and torn like you would expect to see at a low end place once the food arrived. It was OK at best. The serving sizes were very small, but it was also lacking taste, none of us were happy with her food was very bland and something you'd expect to get more or less and retirement home community or people have allergies. Server was very sweet and kind but I can't say I would recommend this place to anyone.

Big group of us for dinner. Anthony and his wife were our servers. They were especially wonderful! Food was good not great. My sea bass was good. My husband liked his salmon. The mashed potatoes were so good. They had anchovies that we requested for the Caesar salad. After we ordered we waited a bit long. I guess you pay for atmosphere but food is overpriced.

what a treat this was. We arrived early and sat at the bar for some cocktails. Brian the bartender was a pro. Made a signature cocktail to my taste preference and worked the bar with ease. He is extremely detail oriented. Bar seats 10 and almost everyone chose to dine at bar. Since it was our first time we wanted the entire experience. They have private booths. where you're up against the glass and can dine as you have an intimate dinner watching the sun set. So unique. The dining room is quite spacious with views all around and ample space between tables each other for a true quiet dining experience. The food was top notch. We had a lovely beet arugula salad, whipped potatoes with cheese fondue was light and airy. The wet aged ribeye practically melted in our mouth. My husband always says no one can beat his steak, well someone has now. Done to perfection. Can't wait to return.

If there is a time to ever treat yourself for fun, for a celebration, or a just because, it's Orange Sky. The scenery was BEAUTIFUL. The atmosphere was quiet and perfect for our girls night. Bibiana was PHENOMENAL as always. Daniel was sweet and attentive. We had a booth, and it was better than I imagined. The food was incredible, from the Charcuterie board, to the bruschetta, to the actual meal. The drinks were delicious and refreshing. The plating was perfect and so was the taste of it all. It arrived warm and fresh. I highly recommend the Wild Mushroom Pasta! If you're ever in town, make a quick reservation and try it for yourself. I can't wait to come back.

We were seated near the window and the view was incredible. The dinner was incredible, we had the chicken, filet and mushroom pasta. The whipped potatoes were outstanding as well as the carrots. Our waiter Anthony was more than attentive.

I was staying at the hotel for my birthday. My friends had been there all day and left by my 8pm reservation for dinner. It was just myself. Bibianna was my server. She started out asking if I wanted wine and a Appitzer. I explained I'd been out in the heat drinking all day I'd like just water. She tried to upsell drinks. I just wanted a nice relaxing dinner but not lots of left overs since I'm staying in the hotel. I ordered the skirt steak which I normally like because the the just enough fat to give great flavor and whipped potatoes. The steak came and it was rubbed with chili powder and if did not care for it. The whipped potatoes were great. The bread basket delicious. I told the waitress I did not care for the rub she kept making excuses. I asked if I could get a new steak with just salt and pepper. She said she had to ask chef. The manager then came by and was very kind and got me a new steak. It was better but there was no salt and pepper. The waitress had a attitude the whole time. Maybe because I was a solo diner or now ordering apps and cocktails. After dinner she asked if I wanted to see the dessert menu. I asked I'd they do anything for birthdays and she said yes but do I want to see the menu. I said yes but nothing jumped out at me. She asked if I wanted to order dessert and I said no I'm fine. Then she said do you want the complimentary dessert and I said ok. She brought it out and said chef asked if you were going to order a dessert besides the complimentary one and she said she told him no. She said chef does not like that but she was going to give me one anyway. The dessert was terrible. I ate 2 bites and left it. She asked if I like it I said it was fine. She asked if I wanted it boxed I said not. Overall the service was the worse because of her attitude. My dinner was $60;for a piece of meat and potatoes which I'm fine with but I guess since I did not spend twice that I did not deserve a nice birthday dinner. I go to the steakhouse at Casino Arizona and the food and service is wonderful. They were not busy but you think at 8pm on a Wed and someone's birthday you would have seated them closer to the window. I will not be back. I have went to most the other restaurants in the hotel and have always been treated wonderful. The manager was very kind. I have never been told the chef expects you to buy a dessert to be able to get a complimentary birthday dessert.

Very disappointed in the taste and quality of the food, especially for the price point. I do not mind at all paying for great quality food and amazing service, but this was not it. I was expecting much better of both. I've dined at Orange Sky in the past and enjoyed it so when I was staying at the hotel, it was a no brainer to eat here to celebrate our 1st anniversary. Pros 1. Nice of them to give us a free chocolate dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary. It was the best tasting thing of the entire meal. 2. Beautiful views especially on the patio. 3. Bread basket was good. Cons 1. Sea bass was fishy smelling, definitely more than a fresh piece of fish should be. 2. All of the food looked really good, but didn't taste nearly as good as it looked. 3. Almost everything was under and overcooked. For example, the sea bass was overcooked on the ends but the center was undercooked. Same thing with the ribeye- part of it was done medium and a large portion of it was rare. Ribeye is typically fattier but this cut had excessive amounts of fat throughout. 3. The carrots were tasty except more than half of them were undercooked and too crunchy. 4. Undercooked chayote squash tasted more like the texture of apple slices. 5. Server was sweet but so was her very heavy application of perfume. 6. Cocktail sauce tasted like straight ketchup. Definitely needed some doctoring up with more horseradish and lemon.

The food is delightful, the view is superb, and if you love a bar moment before you're seated, Orange Sky has it. Once you make your way to the 15th floor in Talking Stick, the elevators open to the bar area and there is a great patio with fantastic views. I'd suggest a reservation if you plan to go, it will save you time and ensure you have a great experience. The food is excellent, I've been here twice in the last month and haven't had a bad bite whatsoever. If you are gluten free there are options for you including pre-meal bread options available on request. I've had a steak and the porterhouse which were both perfectly cooked, the seabass with the cilantro sauce is fantastic and the crab dip was by far my favorite appetizer. You can't go wrong with a stop by Orange Sky for a special night out and it's a fun opportunity to dress up as much as you want or come as you are as the dress code isn't particularly strict.

We made reservations earlier in the day. When we arrived, we had a drink at the bar which was delicious! Originally our reservation was for the patio, but it was too windy and cold so they moved us back inside. Our table was right next to the window which was a beautiful view! We went to the table and immediately the server came to take our drink order and provide us a bread basket. We ordered the cheese board to start and it was amazing! Delicious cheeses and meats. The bread and the whipped marscapone cheese was so delicious! We ordered the filet, lobster, green chili Mac and creamy potatoes! Such an amazing order especially for two people. The food was perfectly cooked and the sides were yummy! My favorite was our server! He was so friendly, down to earth and very attentive! Great job and beautiful view! Would certainly recommend! Can't wait to visit again!

Beautiful views, architecture and ambiance. Service was surprisingly bad for a place with such hype. Waitress was awkward and communicated in such a negative manner. Food was solid but there are so many exceptional options in Scottsdale. We will be back but this place has the potential to be best in class.

The Orange Sky is one of a kind. My boyfriend set reservations for a nice evening dinner and my expectations were exceeded! From the moment we were seated, to the moment we ended our meal, it was a fabulous experience. The seating provides absolutely gorgeous sunset views of the surrounding area and is private in its own way. Our server was Regina and she was an absolute joy! She is extremely knowledgeable about the menu (both food and wines) and also has a bubbly personality that contributed to many smiles and laughs throughout the night... she is full of great recommendations - to include giving you a great suggestion for a view when you need to go to the restroom! Haha We ordered drinks to start off our night. The bread delivered was warm, fresh, and just right. For our appetizers, we ordered both types of oysters (seasonal and rack roasted) - both had their own flavor palates to them and were delicious! We also ordered the Chicken Empanadas, which were ok - they were a little mushy and the crust didn't have a nice crunchy fry to it... would probably skip ordering that and try something different next time! For our entrees we had Elevate Your Game, Tatsoi, and Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass. All were great! My boyfriend and I finished our plates pretty easily. Regina explained that Tatsoi is kind of like bok choy- definitely could see/taste the similarities! We also ordered dessert and a bottle of wine... which were easily finished. I would definitely recommend trying this place if you haven't! Thank you Orange Sky for a great dinner and night.

Staying at the resort and had dinner here for my moms birthday. We ate outside and the view from the 15th floor was amazing. The service was exceptional! Our server Anthony was nice, quick, explained the menu and answered any questions. Brayden also assisted and was very helpful as well. I had the salmon, mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The sides are shareable and are not included in the entree. Great experience! Definitely a great place to eat, take in the views, listen to live music and relish in the moment.

I'd say the best thing about this place is the view around sunset. Hopefully you can time your reservation for around sunset and get a table with a great window view. They have private booths that directly face the windows but they are hard to come by. We were lucky enough to get one for our dinner. There is an outdoor patio near the bar area that many people go out onto to take pictures. Was an interesting line as the next in line was always asked to take a picture of the part before them. Make sure you are not the last one in line! ;) Service is good and professional. Our waitress had one larger party and there were times we were looking for her. Food was good to very good, depending on the order. The steak was good but I've had great for the same funds. Definitely a place for a special meal as it is a bit expensive. But, it is a steakhouse and we are living in the post-pandemic pricing era. If you have a players card, you will get a discount on your meal (percentage depends on your card level). If you don't want a full meal, just go up to enjoy the live music at the bar and take in the scenery from there. Worth a try if you have a special day to celebrate. Check with the hostess to get the best seat. Enjoy!!!

The views were phenomenal. I've lived here my entire life and I've never seen the city this way. Stunning. The walk to the dining room was so exclusive feeling. Food choices were nice. Only one oyster option, which we enjoyed. Our waitress seemed very rushed to get us to make our entire order. I didn't enjoy my drink but she never acknowledged I wasn't drinking it that I never ordered another. Which was fine. Short rib was good. The corn cake was to die for. Spaghetti squash corn dish was a really good flavor. Desserts were underwhelming but good, coconut something cake and caramel brûlée. The views made it worth every moment. Would be fun with friends or a large party.

Excellent restaurant we travel to Vegas several times a year and always eat at SW Steakhouse at the Wynn which we consider to be the best. Was not expecting much from a casino steakhouse in Scottsdale but this more than exceeded our expectations! Almost as good at the Wynn for half the price! Seriously, one of the top 5 steaks ever. Wife and I shared a filet and mashed potatoes (very best ever!) Great service and good wine. Spectacular views with sun setting looking over the valley. Will be back

So happy that I didn't let some of the reviews keep me from this gem! I had a fabulous time at Orange Sky this past weekend. The entire staff (especially my waiter Tony) went above and beyond to provide excellent service. I arrived for my reservation a little late but was seated immediately upon arrival. The mascarpone butter served along with the bread basket is the best thing I've tasted in a while-so good! I ordered the lamb chops and Mac and cheese. The lamb is so well seasoned but make sure to order a side along with them (the potatoes were more of a garnish). The restaurant is large and gorgeous, especially the secluded tables with your own private view near the entrance (the perfect place for an engagement). Will I visit Scottsdale again solely for this place? Absolutely!

Excellent food. Top notch staff. Gorgeous view of the Sonoran Desert and surrounding mountains. I celebrated my 50th birthday there and they offered a beautiful, delicious cake. The manager was very kind too.

Our favorite restaurant. Have been here several times and the food and service never disappoint. If you are looking to have a romantic dinner ask for the private dining booth, you can ask for a reservation around sunset and the view is beautiful. If you choose to get seat at the standard dining area you will still have a great view. The patio is usually open if you want to go out and have drinks or simply enjoy the view from outside. The rack roasted oysters are a must have! We typically order the salmon, steak with black garlic butter, and the whipped potatoes and roasted spicy brussels sprouts to go with it. The side orders are enough for two people. During the week is the best time for a reservation if you prefer a quiet evening, Fridays and Saturdays are okay if you don't mind a busy restaurant.

Quality food and fast service. Oyster is very fresh, we finished one dozen not enough order another one. Steak and lamb are perfectly cooked and seasoned. Great view from the restaurant. Conveniently located on top of the casino, great place to eat and have fun after.

I thought I reviewed Orange Sky This restaurant is WORTH a visit to talking stick casino This restaurant, from a drink at the bar, with such friendly service, is a start. I'm sure you could sit enjoy the view with cocktails and hors d oeuvres Our dinner was amazing. Prepared to perfection The service perfect! Orange Sky is now our favorite restaurant. Keep up the great work!

An excellent meal with exquisite service, but a view that cannot be topped. Literally. It's the rooftop restaurant in the tallest building in Scottsdale. Our waitstaff was precisely what you would expect at a top tier restaurant. Regina was amazing, and her knowledge of the menu, the source of ingredients and even additional facts about what was being served was exceptional. our table tried very different dishes. The lobster was a star, the pork chop was superb, the special dry-aged rib eye was excellent and thanks to Regina I know what Pittsburgh style actually means. (Turns out it does not mean simply "super rare"). Even the roast chicken was great. The only small let down was the Res Leches dessert. A bit dry and underwhelming after the meal. The Pecan Roll, however, was a delight. But the view!! you need to be there right before sunset to appreciate the transformation that is Orange Sky. Even on the cloudy evening we were there the sky at sunset lit up like it was on fire! And with ample patio space you could get out with a delicious cocktail (The Beekeeper is highly recommended) to take it all in. Prices were commensurate with quality. You can have an excellent meal without breaking the bank, but definitely be prepared just in case.

Great service, food and ambience. I went for my birthday and it was a great experience.

I'm a frequent visitor of the casino and resort. I tend to eat at all the restaurants within the casino but this was my first time at Orange Sky. It was ok. The venue is beautiful and can accommodate large parties, small groups and intimate experiences. Though I was not impressed with the food. The service was pretty good just not a fan of the dining experience. It was a pre NYE experience so I may try it again down the road since I may have just had a bad night. My friend enjoyed her salmon but my steak had no flavor and the cornbread was dry we did not even eat it.

Very beautiful restaurant and views. Came in November after seeing the holiday lights at enchantment. Was pretty slow which was surprising but the food was good and the drinks were great!

Let's start with the views, some of the best in the valley! Ambiance is nice, Orange Sky has the entire 15th floor. Live entertainment was nice in the bar area. We were greeted by a friendly hostess that provided a small tour, including where the restrooms were located. This is rare as hostesses are usually not trained properly and lack personality. We were sat at an incredible table with gorgeous views. Mars was our server and he was knowledgable, so friendly and on point throughout service. We started with the Salmon Crudo and Oysters. Then we had the "Elevate your game" ALL IN! The sauces provided on the side were delicious. We had the corn cake as a side! Everything was cooked perfectly and so unique in flavor- levels of flavor. We ended with the, Flourless chocolate cake, Espresso Flan and Tres Leches cake! A total splurge! It was an evening to remember and we look forward to returning to see Mars and try some other items.

Went for my husband birthday while staying at the hotel. They asked if a special occasion when making the reservation & again from the hostess. I said it's my husband's bd. Hostess was very nice & wished him a happy birthday. We were seated right away. Our server & her assistants were very attentive. They start with fresh assortment of breads, then we split the arugula beet salad. My husband had the filet, I had the salmon & mashed potatoes as our side. All our food was excellent. We decided to skip dessert. There were two big disappointments, why ask if it's a special occasion & not even have wait staff wish someone a happy birthday. Second when we paid cash our waitress took the bill & money, quite a while passed then she finally came back asked if we wanted change. Did she actually expect to receive a 40 0/0 tip!!

Stunning views, beautiful dining room and excellent service, we enjoyed salmon and steak with a few delicious sides. Great place to take out of town guests.

The ambiance was just perfection and arriving at 5:30 for sunset was excellent. We had a corner table and not a person was within 20 feet of us, at least. It was quiet. Calm, and the lighting was just perfect. The service was excellent and wine service was top notch. Their wine list is extensive. The menu was also impressive... but everything we ate was just okay. I had a vegetarian platter that didn't really include anything with protein but did have a cheesy rice that was the best thing I ate. My husband's halibut was okay, he said. The Mac and cheese and onion rings were just okay, and we love both of those things usually. I wouldn't order either again. Onion rings were bland but and a goat cheese drizzle on them that I also didn't love. The desserts were okay. We had a strawberry cake torte with pistachio that was like a muted strawberry cake and banana dome (which was 6/10) that was better than the strawberry one. Overall, food was just mediocre, but presentation and ambiance were exceptional. We wouldn't return for dinner, but maybe drinks in the bar that has great views at sunset as well.

Whoop Whoop! One of the best meals we have had in a very long time. Everything was five stars! Service, ambiance, food, cocktails..everything five stars and although expensive, it was not so high that it broke our savings account. Whether you're staying at Talking Stick Resort or a local resident looking for a great dining experience, Orange Sky will meet all your expectations!

Beautiful views, wonderful setting, but I think this place is just a BIT too full of itself, IMHO... Yes, great spot for a date night, or to spend the ZILLIONS of $$ you won downstairs in the casino, but I kept thinking that we could have had 3-4 just as good "normal" priced meals with more character/pizazz!! Service was great, views were nice, menu's a "bit" over the top - FANCY, but if the weather's just right, the outside dining area would be my choice, along with some FANCY PANTS cocktails. We shared a cheese plate app., I had a perfectly acceptable salad, and the tenderloin stroganoff. My friends had the salmon and surf and turf. Very nice, PERFECT date night choice, or if you win REALLY BIG downstairs, this would be a FINE choice... I'll meet you at the corner taqueria!! ;-)

My fiancé had a work event at Orange Sky and the experience was exceptional. The views from the rooftop balconies are truly unmatched. The bartenders poured up some great cocktails! I also love the fact that you can go downstairs to the casino to enhance the vibes. This is a beautiful rooftop lounge that I would recommend for company events or a sexy date night!

Orange Sky is one of our favorites! We especially love to take friends and family to share the experience with them. After each visit we are always left in awe by how incredible the food, drinks and service is. Our last visit on July 29th was truly a special experience because we were able to bring some of our extended family from out of town that we hadn't seen in awhile. Two staff members in particular played a massive role in our incredible experience. Regina couldn't have been better fit for us last Saturday night. She was extremely attentive, patient and meshed SO well with our group. Thank you Regina for being so accommodating and for taking such great care of us and our many orders. Ryan is our favorite bartender of all time. He never misses and is truly a master mixologist. Between the custom cocktails the attention to detail, he is an absoluetly gem of a bartender. Bottom line is that we felt extremely taken care of given our group size. Thank you again to Regina and Ryan. We will definitely be back!

The highlight of our evening was our server Regina. She was warm and professional and genuinely cared that we had a good experience. It was an anniversary for both couples. We had chicken, steak and fish. Sides included brussels sprouts, mac-n-cheese and mashed potatoes. The butter spread that came with the bread baskets was crazy good. Beautiful atmosphere and no issues with the noise level at all. Quite pleasant.

My honey took me here for a secret surprise birthday dinner! The floor to ceiling windows delivered the most gorgeous sunset. Our waitress, Jadah, was so lovely and how she spoke and presented the menu was OUTSTANDING! As a former waitress of fifteen years I was royally impressed. We ordered a beautiful dinner but got carried away with drinks and a birthday buzz! This place holds a special place in my heart as I turned 32

Good food, cocktails and service. Beautiful sunset views both indoors and outside on the patio.

I have been looking for a nice upscale restaurant to try in Phoenix and I found this one! It's inside the casino but once in the elevator it's like you are not even in the casino. You can't hear anything. Once outside the elevator you get greeted. The entire time We had 2 maybe 3 servers at all time. Now the food! The lamb was good and flavorful. The steak was exactly what I was looking for. To me, if a steak requires a sauce then it's no good. I won't even eat it, BUT this however needed nothing. Perfect! The appetizers were great too! Lots of variety for everyone. Highly recommend it! Great date night, birthday celebration. Oh and ask for the private tables!! You will thank me later.

Went for my Birthday, always stop by Orange Sky when considering a special dinner. They even take the extra step to leave a card signed by staff at the table, in addition to the complimentary dessert. They know how to exceed expectations, and provide an over the top dining experience every time.

My husband and I visited Orange Sky restaurant at Talking Stick for the first time last weekend. It was a very nice dining experience, particularly if you are used to the "high end" restaurants at some of the CA Indian casinos that in the end don't really feel that way. Orange Sky felt more like an LA type fiber dining experience with a full and exotic menu including modern interpretations of game meat (artfully prepped Elk isn't my thing, but if it's yours, check it out.) Highly recommend the pork belly appetizer. Beautiful views at sunset, friendly, pro-active wait staff and good craft cocktails (the smoked old fashioned was good, and they make a solid classic martini). Check it out!

Amazing restaurant! The staff was amazing, the food was amazing and the view was amazing! We will definitely be going back next time we visit AZ!

Personally I think the place is over rated. Food is ok but overpriced. And never have we ever had the seating I requested. Even though the seating window side is open, they let it stay open and seat or party in the center of the restaurant., even after we request it.

Most amazing experience. We sat in one of the private booths. So romantic. Lovely views. Food was amazing. From appetizer to entree to dessert. Everything was so delicious and presentation was beautiful. Service was exceptional as well. Highly recommend for special occasions.

Don't sleep on the private booths. That's the way to go! The service is hit or miss depending on the staff and where you sit. Best spot is the private booths. We had an incredible first meal here, and the second meal service was lacking. Lots of miscommunication between servers was obvious and having had an amazing experience the first time, we prefer the private booths. All that aside, the food and drink is exceptional and what you'd expect from a fine dining restaurant at a casino. Everything we've had here was delicious and would order it again! And the views are stunning! Book a table a half hour to hour before sunset and you can watch the sun set with the gorgeous colors in the sky above the mountain. Really great for a special occasion!

Held a group dinner with some friends here tonight, and was extremely disappointed. The server was awesome and very attentive, but tonight the kitchen let him down. From the start, the bread seemed to be a day old and our baked potatoes for all 12 in our group were not cooked. Additionally, the salmon was a little lacking. Unfortunately, I think the restaurant is more secondary to the casino, despite the amazing views from the restaurant top floor. Considering how much we paid for dinner it was a disappointment.

Food was amazing. 150$ steak for 2 was perfect! Service was top tier, I called ahead for a nice table for anniversary and proposal and they knew just what to do. Ambiance was great next to a big window and low lighting, well spaced so your not on top of the guests adjacent to you. Will be back again for sure

Solid fives from start to finish. We were greeted politely at the base of the entry elevator and took the ride up. At the top we're were escorted to a great corner location so no need for a special view table, we had it. We ordered the crab avocado appetizer which was delicious. I had their orange sky martini and was quite impressed. My father had the stroganoff, I had the chicken and my mother had the skirt steak. All were superb. To top it off Wednesday the wine specialist set us up with two free desserts. Amazing belated birthday dinner.

Excellent food, I love the ribeye. Excellent service, very thoughtful and I love the booths over looking the city .

Beautiful place!! I took my boyfriend here for a date-night and he loved it! It's located on the highest floor of the casino. We were escorted by at least 3 people into the restaurant. There were private booths that you could reserve before hand, which overlook into the entire city almost. Fab at nighttime. Wish we knew to reserve these in advance. Our server was very friendly and attentive, provided great recs. Never made us feel rushed. We had a great time and good food!

Came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. I must say, the carpet doesn't match the drapes, in the best way possible, and I say this because the place does not seem like it is atop a large casino at all! It is spacious, classy, and romantic, with the prettiest views. I asked for a table by the windows, and that was just perfect. We also went to walk around the patio and take photos with the mountains and sunset while our food was being made. One thing to note is that we were the youngest people there, so the crowd is mostly people in their 40s and up. They brought out a basket of bread and whipped butter, whoo hoo! We ordered the meatballs to start, I got the 8 oz skirt steak, and my husband got the All In, which is 4oz. each of elk, antelope, boar sausage, bison, grilled vegetables, and preserves. We got a side of mashed potatoes as well. Everything was delicious and can I just say, his dish was so much fun to try! I'd never had any of those meats before and I just loved having a bite of each. He also got a cocktail, the smoky old fashioned, which comes in a box of smoke. Pretty cool display! Our server, Efren, was very polite and super nice. He brought out a flourless chocolate cake on the house for my husband's birthday! Appreciate him for that! Overall, if you want an extremely classy place for a fancy occasion, this is it!
