Roaring Fork

SCOTTSDALE. A welcome change of pace, Roaring Fork entices patrons with homemade beef jerky and great cocktails, which are especially appealing when you have to wait for a table. Inventive chef-owner Robert McGrath artfully creates American Western cuisine, merging campfire traditions with bistro fare to produce truly outstanding dishes. Among the attractions are beef short ribs, duck breast, and buttermilk fried chicken. The ambiance is a mix of rustic and elegant, and the place promises great dining memories. Great happy hours too (Monday to Saturday, 4pm to 7pm).
