The churro donut may be one of the best desserts. I think you could get the meatballs and wedge salad and be more than satisfied.

Visited on Thanksgiving. I'm thankful that they were open and that I was able to watch my favorite football team play. I tried the Thanksgiving day special... mixed greens, turkey & gravy, green beans, sweet potatoes, and corn bread with pecan pie and ice cream. The corn bread was extremely dry, but the other items were well prepared and delicious!.The shifted changed. ? And there went the great service. The new staff were not very attentive. They spent too much time talking to each other than with the guests. Dirty dishes sat until the runners brought out new items. No one asked how the meal was, if I needed anything. Nothing. And to top it off, the bar was not crowded.

We had an excellent server at JD lounge. It is a sports bar at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort where we were staying . We did not feel like driving out to find other food so we made a reservation for this restaurant, which is in the resort for a Hotel sports pub. It was actually quite good. We had the pizza the gluten-free crust was excellent

What’s the point to come to a sports bar with all tvs and you cannot hear the game because they want to keep playing music so lame ?

Was not expecting how good this place was based on the stars. The macaroni was soooo delicious! The pasta was probably the most perfectly cooked pasta I've ever had. I'm not even exaggerating! It was sooo good! Plus it was the perfect balance of cheesy but liquidy as the same time. Their dessert menu is not lacking in any way. I will be coming back to update you guys on the chocolate skillet dessert!Update: I got the cookie skillet! I'm used to those being pretty large so it was actually nice to have a small enough portion to finish without feeling like you're going to explode afterwards. My friend got the cheese curds and they are a must if you like cheese at all! I thought they would be spicy since they were advertised with jalapeño but they weren't really spicy at all. Even the sauce was sort of sweet so if you're someone who doesn't like spice like me then these were perfect!

Menu on line is different than at the bar. Prices are different too. That being said the fish tacos were outstanding. Desert was awesome. Paid more than expected but it was a fabulous meal.Even the review choices on here are different. LOL! !
Loved the ambiance at night with the fireplaces & the sound of the pool waterfall in the distance. We ate there for lunch & it was okay. The nachos were a little bland. Really needed some salsa or sour cream & cilantro. Would have been better with some southwest seasoning on top. The canned black olives made it taste like a supreme pizza. Very potent & weird. I got the beet salad. I LOVE beets & arugula but this salad missed the mark. Radishes & cucumber?? It could have been great if they left that out & had some crumbled goat cheese & nuts, maybe pistachios or candied pecans. Just my opinion. Go for the ambiance & have a drink.

Trivia: Soooo, short story time. I'm sitting at the bar, enjoying a delicious burger and truffle fries with Parmesan, while watching John Wick, without sound, or subtitles, on the TV. In walks a guy (think marathon runner meets Army drill sergeant) who sits down three seats from me and orders a White Russian. A White Russian? At 930 pm? I've sat at a lot of bars and I have not heard anyone order a White Russian in...well...ever?! So, what are the ingredients of a White Russian? And now the review:Great service. Fast. Friendly. Professional. Even though the place wasn't slammed, they continued to work, clean, visit with customers, and maintain a chill environment.Tasty burger and fries. The ambiance is relaxing, exactly what you'd want the resort restaurant to be. Think sports bar meets fine dining. With the added bonus of an outdoor seating with fires. If there was a negative, it was the burger. She asked how I wanted it and I said medium. But there was zero pink on that thing. I was able to easily sub the Parmesan fries from the appetizer menu as the side for the burger. Anndddd, I was allowed to take my beer back to my room to finish. Some places are weird about that. But not here. One final note, John Wick was a weird choice for the TV, especially without subtitles. But was that more weird than a White Russian?

Went here Thursday night for a reunion with a friend. Service was chaotic, yelling out drinks for us to claim, my appetizer came after my entree. My bill was $64, their handheld card reader wouldn’t take my card so I had to pull out cash which was another fee. I never got an itemized receipt and gave the server 20% tip in cash, turns out I gave her 40% because she never relayed gratuity was included or gave me a receipt! As a bartender/Server myself I would never walk away knowing I didn’t inform a guest they were tipping me half their bill for messy service.Your foh staff look miserable and lack communication with each other and their guests. It’s a beautiful place and left me unsatisfied. If a manager would like to contact me please do, I ended up paying $90 not knowing it was a $49 tab with gratuity.

As a guest of the hotel I wanted something on site so I could avoid the heat. You seat yourself and there's only a few wait staff but they are prompt. I ordered a prickly pear lemonade, fish tacos, chips and guac, and sweet potato fries. The tacos were okay, they had a bean paste and then the fish but it was lacking. The chips and guac were good since they came out warm. The sweet potato fries were so good, perfectly crispy and thick cut. I also really enjoyed the lemonade. Food was tasty and convenient if you are staying at the hotel.

JD's Lounge is located on the Scottsdale Plaza Resort. They offer a sports bar type dining option for guests and visitors. This is a seat yourself kind of restaurant. There is a bar as well as dinner table and high table seating. When we arrived, we found a seat and were waited on promptly. Waters were provided immediately. We ordered chips and salsa to start, and a coal fire grilled pizza! The pizza was fantastic – you can create your own, though they do offer three popular, local options too. Options on the menu include burgers, sandwiches, tacos, and other sharables like wings and nachos. We ate here from dinner, but I imagine they are open for lunch as well. For two people to share a pizza our total came to right around $65, so prices are a bit steeper for two than you might expect. Mind you we did not have any bar beverages during our meal. You can also order take out, or have food delivered to your room if you are staying on the resort. Overall, a good dining experience.
