Olive & Ivy

Nestled along the picturesque Scottsdale Waterfront at 7135 E Camelback Road, Olive & Ivy stands as a beloved Mediterranean marketplace and restaurant, channeling the timeless allure of the French Riviera into Arizona’s sun-drenched dining scene. This Fox Restaurant Concepts gem, blending casual elegance with coastal flavors, offers an all-day escape from breakfast pastries to late-night indulgences, open daily from 7am to 10pm (extending to 11pm Fri-Sat), making it a versatile favorite for locals and visitors seeking relaxed sophistication in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale.

Step into Olive & Ivy, and the space welcomes you with vibrant warmth—rustic wooden beams, lush greenery, and colorful tile accents create a lively yet comfortable flow seating around 200, where the bustling marketplace transitions seamlessly into the main dining area. The sunlit patio overlooks the canal and Waterfront’s gentle bustle, ideal for al fresco lunches under misters, while the indoor bar hums as a social hub for happy hour (Mon-Fri 3-6pm). As evening arrives, a subtle energy builds with occasional live music or DJ sets during brunches, fostering an animated rhythm of clinking glasses and easy conversations among a diverse crowd of families, couples, and after-shopping groups. The atmosphere is approachable and engaging, perfect for a leisurely brunch, romantic dinner, or group gathering that captures the Riviera’s effortless charm.

The menu celebrates robust Mediterranean fare with fresh, seasonal twists—think seafood-forward dishes and shareable small plates—using local Arizona produce and premium imports, paired with an impressive wine selection (wines by the glass from $10) and cocktails like the signature Olive & Ivy Sangria ($14)—a refreshing red blend with citrus, brandy, and seasonal fruit for a fruity, boozy lift. Start with the Prosciutto Bruschetta ($16), warm focaccia topped with fig preserve, port salut cheese, and prosciutto—a sweet-savory classic that’s crisp and indulgent. The Bacon Wrapped Dates ($14) stuff Medjool dates with goat cheese and almonds, fried golden and served with balsamic glaze, a sticky, nutty bite for sharing.

Seafood shines with the Seared Sea Scallops ($28), golden-crusted mollusks over cauliflower puree with black truffle and microgreens, tender and earthy. The Shrimp Scampi Risotto ($26) simmers arborio rice with garlic butter, white wine, and prawns, creamy with a briny kick. Pasta lovers savor the Lamb Meatballs ($18), spiced orbs in warm pita with tzatziki and harissa yogurt—a hearty, herbed essential. For mains, the Braised Short Ribs ($36) slow-cook to fall-off-the-bone tenderness with polenta and red wine reduction, rich and comforting. The Grilled Whole Branzino ($32) arrives herb-stuffed with fennel and citrus, flaky and aromatic with olive tapenade. Vegetarians opt for the Avocado Toast ($16), smashed avocado on sourdough with basil-pine nut pesto, parmesan, and candied lemon, fresh and zesty.

Desserts provide a sweet Riviera close with the Tiramisu ($12), espresso-soaked ladyfingers layered with mascarpone and cocoa dust—velvety and bittersweet—or the Affogato ($10), vanilla gelato drowned in espresso with almond biscotti for a hot-cold rush.
