My wife and I met Bjorn this evening and had the most incredible dining experience we’ve had in a very long time locally. This review comes far and few between with local restaurants. We are big foodies and this evening’s dinner was exceptional. High quality ingredients and a very creative, well thought out menu. The garlic shrimp is an ABSOLUTE must try as well as the carbonara was out of this world. The 16 ounce Ribeye was delicious and was a great cut of meat. To conclude, we had a decaf Cappacino that was incredibly delicious. The service was beyond amazing. The waiter was attentive and knew the menu and the bussers cleared the table with clockwork precision. This restaurant is a must. We will be back most likely next weekend. One of my new local favs. Keep up the great work Arboleda. Bravo and well done.

This was our first visit. Setting was fantastic since we requested, and were comfortable, sitting outside. Sierra was impeccable with her timeliness and ready smile! She guided us through the menu and answered all our questions. Cocktails, appetizer and entrees were so delicious! I personally recommend the dreamsicle cocktail - yum. Our only issue was the volume of the music. Even though we were seated outside it was very hard to visit since the volume was crazy loud :(

Food is great, although it took more time than expected to serve entrees. The apple dessert is a-mazing!!

Amazing food, great atmosphere, somewhat slow service. Great for groups. Favorite dishes included the patatas bravas, lamb meatballs, nduja toast, beer salad, chopped salad. They make a mean dirty
Excellent experience. Food superior. Service excellent. Scrumptious desserts.

Arboleda has been the best experience of my life since moving to Scottsdale & meeting Dana. Dana is so personable and wants to ensure you have the best experience possible (external or net-new). From the moment I have met him, he has always gone above and beyond to meet customer satisfaction. Please visit Arboleda and I promise you will have the best experience due to their incredible staff.

Our first time there and it was great. Food was excellent with a good variety of. One couple had the paella and raved about it. Drinks were spot on, and the service was top notch. We will be back soon.

This was the culinary highlight of our March 2024 Scottsdale Escape! Without a doubt a spectacular dining experience. Arboleda's welcoming and attentive staff help you navigate a stunning bandwidth of mediterranean flavors. The 1st choice you need to navigate is the list of unique specialty cocktails. Then Tapas… I will not list them all – but be careful, I almost lost myself in a culinary loop of garlic chili shrimp and begging for more toasted Noble bread to soak up the heat, butter, garlic in the iron skillet. After a long pause I was able to pivot to the Sourdough Tomato Toast paired to the beet salad. If you are lucky enough to dine on a day the Paella of the day features a lobster base…Do NOT hesitate – our sommelier paired us with a Tempranillo…Ribera del Duerro 2019. Eyes closed. slow down, relax in the wide comfy chairs and enjoy the culinary journey with the ones you love. Linger to share a Dessert. Valhrona chocolate cake chocolate ganache, graham cracker crumble marshmallow ice cream. (a ridiculous finish dismount…) THAT was OUR memorable Arboleda experience. Thank you Steven, Mitchel + entire team. Bravo for a lasting memory!

Went for happy hour and had a great experience. Shared a bunch of the small hit plates and they were all delicious. Didn't order from the dinner menu so can't speak to that. Nice wine list as well. Great ambience and the service was superb!

The food was delicious we shared the pasta carbonara and the New York strip. Perfect and had 2 appetizers that were also yummy. The service was as good as it gets. Attentive but not pushy. And the room and atmosphere were really nice
First time in. Delicious Mediterranean food. Loved the shareable plates. The ambiance is A+.

Great restaurant. Choice of indoor or outdoor seating. It's Spanish tapas restaurant with a few entrees. Service was really great, attentive, but not too much. Definitely recommend it for an fun evening.

Went for New Year's Eve. Extremely overpriced (single person check was $175 before tip) and not a celebration as advertised. Food was terrible. Chicken undercooked. Very disappointed.

Great food, great atmosphere. Server was fantastic. They sent a complimentary dish for my girlfriend's birthday. It's a little pricey but well worth the cost. You have to try the Baked Arizona!
