Maple & Ash Scottsdale

Maple & Ash sits on East Camelback Road, a fifteen-minute walk from the entrance of Scottsdale Fashion Square. The room runs smart, with high-ceilinged geometry throughout the dining floor.

While the surrounding area is dominated by informal strip-mall dining, this grill house uses a deliberate, theatrical scale that its neighbors lack. It is a departure from the casual, high-volume venues scattered throughout the rest of Scottsdale. You go here for a focused, contemporary performance rather than a quick dinner, making the choice between this and the nearby, humbler kitchens a question of intent. If the desert sprawl of the district feels overwhelming, the dense, focused energy inside this room provides a necessary contrast.
