Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Scottsdale Quarter/Kierland Commons

We loved our experience at George & Gather. It is a cozy, fun place to go. The dishes were great, and the tea and dessert were phenomenal! I ordered an Earl Grey tea latte to go with the unbelievable carrot cake. The latte was perfection, and the carrot cake was divine, moist, flavorful, and delightfully dense with a delightful cream cheese frosting. Just lovely. Save room for desert!

The seating outdoors was very nice. The ambience was beautiful and the weather was ideal. Our server, Faith, was very enthusiastic and cheerful, and gave us great advice. We decided on 3-course meals with bread service and dessert. That was a good choice, as we were pleasantly full at the end – and we were there for almost 3 hours! They knew it was our wedding anniversary and provided 2 free glasses of champagne, which was a nice touch. (They even gave my wife a non-alcoholic champagne, as she didn't want alcohol, and she really liked it.) I also ordered the watermelon/strawberry margarita, which was excellent – like bottled summer. It went well with the gazpacho amuse-bouche. The zucchini soup was marvelous, and the presentation was superb. Such a variety of tastes in each spoonful! The agnolotti came next, and they were amazing – the pairing with the duck confit and all the other tastes made it something to savor. We took our time with that, but it tasted so good, we could not slow down much. During the pause they helped clear our palate with a hibiscus sorbet, which was so good, I wanted to find out where to get something like it elsewhere. Then came the main, the Cornish hen leg. (The other choices were salmon or ribeye steak.) It was fabulous, pairing well with my Pinot Noir. The skin on the leg was both delicate and crunchy (and tasty!) at the same time. Again, the mix with the other tastes on the plate was inspired. Something else to really savor. While we were waiting for our desserts, they gave us a tour of the kitchen, which was fun. As soon as we entered, everyone greeted us. Faith took us to each station, and the people working there talked to us briefly and asked us questions. They seemed genuinely interested in our reaction to the food we'd eaten. The desserts (foie gras macaroon and bread pudding) arrived soon after we got back to the table, and they were wonderful. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. It was a memory that we will treasure.
