I used to frequent AZ 88 when I used to live in the Scottsdale. I loved it for its setting--somewhat hidden, somewhat quiet, trendy enough but not too much that it suffocates. I enjoyed their food...

I've always been happy with my meals over at AZ '88. They have an interesting take on sandwiches and blend in spicy wing sauce with a few of their dishes, so that's worth atleast two stars by itself....

You can't beat AZ88 if you are looking for a happening people watching stop. This is one of my favorites when I am looking for casual dining but a fun crowd. The buffalo chicken sandwich is to die for.
