Sometimes it seems like there’s not any time for a staycation, much less a vacation, yet you need a few hours to feel like you’re getting away from your daily grind. Tucked in the neighborhood of McDowell Mountain Ranch in North Scottsdale is a newly remodeled oasis that can provide you with all of the elements to feel like you’re away without actually being away:  McDowell Mountain Golf Club and the new talk of the ‘dining town’, Mesquite Grille. This dining destination is not just another 19th hole serving up hamburgers and hot dogs. The Mesquite Grille serves up city views, modern yet comfortable décor, an unpretentious menu, even a fun-filled game lawn… the perfect setting for what feels like a day away.

As you stroll into the well-appointed clubhouse at McDowell Mountain, you are greeted with a smile from the friendly staff and rich aromas of the days special… you know you are in for a treat. You take quick notice of the chic décor including rich woods, comfy leather seating, floor to ceiling doors that open up to a panorama of the setting sun and stunning views of Scottsdale. Often times the hardest part about a culinary experience at Mesquite Grille is figuring out where to dine as there are so many comfortable options…do you sit in the large family style booths, at the high top bar tables, at the bar itself (which boasts the restaurants namesake Mesquite wood bar top) or the outdoor living room-like patio for dining al fresco.

Either way, you won’t be disappointed as every corner of the Mesquite Grille offers something for everyone. That ‘something for everyone’ theme plays out in the menu and culinary options as well…open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and under the direction of Chef Mark Hamilton (who most recently was the Executive Chef for the private Rim Club in Payson, Arizona), the culinary experience at Mesquite Grille is one that serves up tasty American and Southwest favorites. Additional menu inspiration includes cuisine featuring both Mediterranean and Midwest inspired Chicago-Italian cuisine. Originals include homemade sausage, pasta tossed with fresh vegetables, fresh seafood with reduced balsamic vinaigrette, fresh herbs and the like, plus a few surprises mixed in for good measure. Entrées that go deliciously with your favorite glass of wine or cold craft beer, while taking in the great views of Scottsdale.

Speaking of wines, the Mesquite Grille dining experience is topped off with an expansive wine list featuring savory blends, interesting reds, refreshing chardonnays and more, under popular labels such as Jordan, Stag’s Leap, 14 Hands and Robert Mondavi, to name a few. Don’t forget to mark your calendar as Saturdays feature ½ priced bottle specials throughout the evening.

This stunning venue is a popular locale for weddings, receptions, corporate events and other special occasions. Located adjacent to the Mesquite Grille, the event center at McDowell Mountain Golf Club features the same stunning view of Scottsdale and a multi purpose, climate controlled event space that accommodates up to 120 guests for various social and corporate events.
