The Artichoke Grill - Scottsdale

We always enjoy visiting The Artichoke Grill at Scottsdale Community College. This restaurant is affiliated with the college's Culinary Arts Program, and the students consistently do an outstanding job! The food is always excellent, beautifully presented, and the service is fantastic! We typically opt for the three-course menu, which includes a choice of soup or salad, bread, an entree, dessert, and a beverage. I only wish they were open year-round, as well as for dinner and on weekends!

This restaurant is an integral part of the Culinary Arts program at Scottsdale Community College. Each time we visit, we are treated to a delightful four-course meal that includes freshly made breads, an appetizer (which may be soup, salad, or a selection of hors d'oeuvres), a featured entrée, and a dessert sampler. The food is truly outstanding, and the prices are quite reasonable. My wife and I make an effort to dine here as frequently as we can during the eight months it is open. As for parking, there is ample parking available near the restaurant.

Dining at this restaurant feels like an experience, almost like being part of a classroom. Over the years, the food has significantly improved in both taste and presentation. However, the interaction between employees and diners could use some enhancement, though it is understandable. The waitstaff should be more knowledgeable about the menu items, such as different types of muffins or fish. Overall, it offers great value, and I will definitely return. My only wish is that they would lower the air conditioning a bit.

We had a fantastic dining experience at the Artichoke Grill. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and our server was exceptional. The desserts were out of this world!

Great experience! Enjoy knowing it’s all student run and the food was delish.
