Executive Chef Evan, Mitchell, Björn and Steven have been running amazingly successful restaurants for years. They are the first to say that they are uncompromisingly honest with one another and they know how to bring out each other’s strengths. They were drawn to Scottsdale because it is a place that shares their culinary values of quality, innovation, and an inherent sense of adventure. They believe in living and breathing their work and when you go to arboleda you will likely run into one or all of four of them! They are committed to unending culinary ideas and inventions. They will introduce the best Mediterranean coastal flavors at arboleda but also plan to borrow from an array of flavor profiles from across the world. You can be sure that each menu item and every bite will be an unexpected, delightful surprise.
Our story

Executive Chef Evan Gotanda, a Le Cordon Bleu graduate and former Chef de Cuisine at Salt House, leads the kitchen.
Arboleda (“grove of trees”) opened in 2023 in the former Kona Grill space at Scottsdale Quarter, redesigned by Mark Zeff around a living tree in the main dining room. Read more in our news, explore the menu or plan an event in our private dining rooms.

Perfection in dining! Noise level was just right to create ambiance, our server Sierra was fantastic and new the dishes backward and forward so was able to make recommendations to us that fit what we were looking for.
The food was full of flavor and cooked to perfection, we had a few appetizers and some Tapas and they were all delicious. We had the Baked Arizona desert and OMG - heaven on earth, super fluffy and light and sooooo delicious. We will absolutely be back 10/10

This place is a Scottsdale MUST!! I’ve dined all over the world at many Micheline star restaurants and would put this in their class. Ambiance, service, and of course food are all perfection! A foodie paradise with gorgeous ambiance. My husband and I did not want to leave. You will want to taste everything on this menu!

WOW! Last night in Scottsdale and I could not have picked a better restaurant. This beautiful “grove of trees” named restaurant had such a unique menu offering and beautiful ambiance. The attention to detail and hands on owner recommendations and hospitality really blew my mind. I had the incredible pork entree, a side of the potatoes, a craft cocktail with reposado and beet juice and a Woodford old fashioned as a night cap. Everything was perfectly executed, great portion sizes and delicious. Our bartender provided excellent service, was upbeat, friendly, attentive and suggestive. LOVE this place and am excited to return.

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to in Phoenix. Attended on Easter night and served by Ula, she gave us great suggestions about all kinds of dishes and let us have a great time talking with friends without any pushing 😉. The food was delicious and the wine was okay (can be better 😄) I will definitely visit again if I have the chance.

Experienced a birthday dinner here with friends and it was perfection. The staff was ready for us at our reserved time, very nice table location, food was excellent taste and temperature. Our server explained the offerings for the day and helped me avoid a dish w/curry (allergic). We had a birthday cake and they were kind enough to slice it and package when time to-go. Several staff stopped by to check on us during the meal and refresh any dining needs.
