Diners travel from around the Valley for a meal at these exclusive eating establishments.
Modern Oysterbar Chophouse
This handsome steakhouse is run by a team of folks who’ve been in the biz forever, and it shows. Eat anything involving oysters, grilled shrimp or pasta.
10050 N. Scottsdale Rd., 480-531-1400, modernoysterbarchophouse.com
The Americano
A sexy steakhouse that speaks with an Italian accent. Imagine Wagyu meatballs, pappardelle with lamb, prime beef and a terrific burger. It wouldn’t be a hardship to hang out at the modern bar sipping excellent cocktails, either.

Elements
Sleek design, comfy patios, quaffable margaritas and sunset views draw sweethearts and singles to this sexy Camelback Mountain retreat. The seasonal American menu has an Asian spin, and the results – i.e., Wagyu and ginger dumplings – are wonderful.
