Arcadia Farms Cafe - Scottsdale, Arizona

A charming French themed restaurant. My husband and I decided to try it out because it was walking distance from our hotel. It’s on the pricey side but the quality of the food is great. We shared the Smoked and Fresh Salmon hash and the picture attached is a 1/2 portion so you can see it’s very generous. The server was very nice and it had a cozy welcoming atmosphere. Great place to go for a nicer brunch or dinner.

We tried this place for restaurant week in Scottsdale. For this event, it’s a set menu for $55 each. There was plenty of parking outside, bathrooms are outside of the building which are hidden from public but not inside the restaurant. The inside is set up like a house with different rooms. Though the floor is concrete not wood. The food and service was excellent. Our server was very courteous and attentive. We started with only one piece of delicious bread (I wanted more it was so good). We had a choice of five to six appetizers and chose the burrata and the brie and apple slices. For dinner, I got the scallops in wine and butter sauce. I received about 7 huge scallops. My wife got a beef bourguignon with mashed potatoes, and onion wheels. It came in a nice red wine sauce. For dessert, we were treated with the chocolate mousse and crème brûlée. It was a delicious meal. Make sure to get on their mail list because they offer specials for birthdays.

Fantastic menu of salads, sandwiches, crepes and pastries. There is something for all here. Everything is cooked perfectly and tastes very vivid!

First of all, we had a reservation for 8pm and were told they were waiting on one of the larger parties to leave before they could seat us. What’s the point of a reservation if the table isn’t reserved? We weren’t seated until close to 8:30.

Once seated, the service was incredibly slow. They appeared understaffed, and we had to flag down a server after waiting for 15 minutes at our table.

And finally, the food was exceptionally under-seasoned. I ordered the salmon, and it didn’t even taste as though they salted and peppered it. There was no sauce, no salt, and no pepper—just bland fish and potatoes.

I’m confused as to why a restaurant with glowing reviews was so incredibly underwhelming.

UPDATE 2/24/25: We travel to Scottsdale annually for business so obviously we made Arcadia Farms top of our list. They did not disappoint. Dinner service on Friday night was so great we decided to come back for breakfast twice (don't sleep on the blueberry crêpes or the peach french toast and also, their coffee is magical, I don't know what they use but we love it). Rasheedah was our server again and she still took care of us so well. We LOVE the ambiance at Arcadia and we look forward to returning next year.

Original Review: We are HUGE fans of breakfast at Arcadia Farms, so we were delighted to try their dinner service. They did not disappoint. The service was top notch (thank you, Rasheedah!). For starter I had the Bacon/Gruyère/Leek Tarte which immediately took me back to the north of France where I ate a similar tarte. The wine pairings were fantastic, especially the dinner Cab. My husband had the Beef Bourguignon…SO GOOD. Dessert was great but we had already stuffed ourselves so much with the first 2 courses. Above all, the fine dining vibe was intimate and romantic, great for a date night to reconnect and remember why we fell in love in the first place. Thanks, Arcadia Farms, we’ll be back!

This is THE place to brunch with your girlfriend, your mom, your sister, your grandma - any special lady in your life. The food is exceptional. The service is outstanding and the restaurant is the cutest French bistro vibe. Snag seating outside when it’s beautiful out (ie Nov - March). You will love every minute of this place!

I made a reservation for Friday, May 10, 2024, at 2:30 pm to celebrate Mother's Day. I did not know but they close at 3pm and open again at 5 pm. So I was very surprised because why would the system let me get a reservation 30 mins before they close. However, upon arrival, the host seemed confused and unsure where to seat us as they were closing at 3 pm. I was initially seated at a table, but the server later asked if we could move to a different table, which I didn't mind as it was a better spot.
The second server was friendly but hurried us to place our food order before 3 pm, which we did around 2:45 pm. Although there were a few other diners, we were the last to leave, so the ambiance was quiet. The tables were close together, but thankfully, there weren't many people around us. The restaurant's interior was small but charming, and the outdoor tables looked lovely. They also had a parking lot, which was a plus for the area.

The food was good, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. I tried the Croque Monsieur and the Wild Mushroom Tart, which were decent. I also enjoyed the lavender and gin sparkling drink. I noticed that the prices had increased in late April or early May.

Overall, the restaurant was charming, but I'm not sure if I'd return soon, especially with so many other restaurants to try. There wasn't anything particularly unique that would draw me back.
