Olive & Ivy

Why we recommend Olive & Ivy in Scottsdale

When guests book a Scottsdale nightclub, beach club, or pool day through MyRSVP and ask where to eat around it, Olive & Ivy is one of the names that comes back most consistently from our team. This page is written as a guide rather than as a reservation listing: the practical details, the signature dishes, the room layout, and the direct route to reserve are all here so you know what to expect before you walk in. Restaurant reservations outside Las Vegas sit with the venues themselves; MyRSVP handles the nightlife and pool-club side of the trip.

What to expect in the room and on the menu

Olive & Ivy operates as a Fox Restaurant Concepts property along the Scottsdale Waterfront, seating roughly 200 guests across a rustic-modern dining room anchored by wooden beams, lush greenery, and colorful tile work that evokes the French Riviera. The sunlit patio overlooks the canal with mister cooling for daytime service, while the indoor bar functions as a social hub during weekday happy hour (Mon–Fri, 3–6pm). The menu emphasizes Mediterranean seafood and shareable small plates built on seasonal Arizona produce and premium imports—standouts include Seared Sea Scallops with black truffle and cauliflower puree, Braised Short Ribs with polenta, Grilled Whole Branzino with olive tapenade, and the signature Olive & Ivy Sangria ($14). Appetizers like Prosciutto Bruschetta and Bacon-Wrapped Dates with goat cheese anchor the grazing approach, while vegetarians find the Avocado Toast with basil-pine nut pesto and candied lemon a reliable choice. Wine-by-the-glass options start at $10, and desserts run traditional—Tiramisu and Affogato with almond biscotti close the meal cleanly. Two private dining spaces accommodate groups up to 50. The venue opens daily 7am–10pm (11pm Fri–Sat), functioning seamlessly from breakfast through late dinner, with occasional live music or DJ sets during weekend brunches adding energy to an otherwise approachable, family-friendly crowd.

Reservations — how to book Olive & Ivy

What we tell guests about Olive & Ivy: it is one of the Scottsdale rooms worth a standalone evening rather than a squeezed-in pre-dinner. The reservation itself is handled directly with the restaurant — through their own site, OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or by phone — depending on how they run their book. If you can get into the chef’s counter, bar seats, or a tasting menu slot, those are often the fastest way into the version of the room regulars are actually there for. For private dining or larger-group enquiries, the restaurant’s events or reservations team is the right first call, not a generic booking channel.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

What to know before you visit Olive & Ivy. The room operates on these hours: Sunday–Thursday 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM; Friday–Saturday 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM. On the dress side: Casual at lunch and happy hour; business casual at dinner. Peak demand in Scottsdale falls around the November–April cool season, with the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Barrett-Jackson, and Cactus League Spring Training as sharpest peaks, sharpest on the Waste Management Phoenix Open, MLB Spring Training (Cactus League) — those are the dates the reservation book closes furthest out. If the main dining room is full on your target date, ask the restaurant about chef’s counter, bar seats or a tasting-menu slot; those formats often stay open days after the primary book has gone.
