 | |  |  | The Grapevine Restaurant: Best Little Armenian Restaurant in Arizona! | Tip Rating:    Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
Both times we have had lunch in Old Downtown Scottsdale it has been at "The Grapevine." This restaurant serves 'al fresco' on its lower shaded, breezy level or on the upper level sun deck. We have tried each and I prefer the lower level which was very pleasant even though the temperature was in the high 80's that day.
The Grapevine offers a varied menu of sandwiches, soups & salads, burgers, a little Mexican food, a little Italian and even FONDUES!. But what catches your eye on the menu are the "Lahvosh" dishes! Lahvosh's are a Grapevine speciality with several to choose from: original, royal, tropical and even Louisiana Cajun! What's a Lahvosh you ask? (I did too.) It's Armenian cracker bread topped with a variety of cheeses, meats, veggies or fruits similar to a pizza. The Lahvoshs range from a mini, cheese only at $10.00 (feeds one person) to a Tropical or Cajun which are $19 and feeds two. I would have normally expected to find this type of dish to be available in a city such as New York, but I must say I was surprised to find it in Arizona!
As I was in the mood for Mexican food, I ordered the chicken burrito which was so large it nearly filled my plate! It came topped with melted cheese and refried beans, rice, lettuce, tomato and sour cream all for $8.95. The other family members ordered a Southwestern Club (smoked turkey, PLUS lots more and wrapped in a flour tortilla ($8.95); and a very large chicken caesar salad ($8.95).
No one in our family ordered this but I had to wonder whether the "Two Alarm Pecos River Red Chili" topped with cheddar cheese, sour cream and scallions ($6.50) is as hot as it sounds. I might try it next time around!! MAYBE!!
Service was quick and friendly and portions are huge! Opens at 11:00 am daily!
Both times we've eaten at the Grapevine Restaurant we have enjoyed our meals. I am sure if we had been in town longer during this trip, we would have returned to the Grapevine! They also have a Piano Bar and Happy Hour specials, Monday - Friday from 4 to 7 pm. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 4013 N.

| | | | carefree station grill and bar, carefree, AZ: wonderful fancy lunch in a casual atmosphere | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
this was a very nice restaurant with a casual rather than formal atmosphere. the tables have heavy linen tablecloths, plus real silverware and cloth napkins -- a lovely environment. there is an extensive wine list. the service was friendly and fast. the only drawback to my visit was that the reception hostess was very snooty!
the restaurant is open on weekdays from 11 am to 9 pm, on saturdays and sundays from 11 am to 10 pm.
go north from scottsdale on scottsdale road; there will be desert on both sides of you. from darlington road (which is what scottsdale road turns into), turn right onto ho street. restaurant is on the left side of the "spanish village" shops, go in thru the sculpture garden, past the bodega bistro and tapas bar.
i had the diablo burger, which was LARGE. it had a spicy/peppery taste with just a little char. it was terrific, well done but nicely juicy. it came with two side items. i chose greens and french fries. the greens had a peppery vinaigrette-type dressing; the fries were the skinny kind but were cooked to just the right degree of crispiness (not welded solid, like some places).
before the hamburger came, the server brought a fabulous dinner roll to the table. it was homemade, thick, and almost square. it was crisp but not brown. the butter had just the slightest tinge of spiciness.
with a soft drink, my meal was approximately $13. Leave a Comment Theme: AmericanPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 7212 ho hum road, carefree, AZ, 85377Phone: 480/488-8182Directions: north from scottsdale about 30-45 mins
