AZ Store Visit | Dining Spots for a Small Budget The Ends

Scottsdale’s Globally Inspired Gem: The Ends – Sophisticated Eats for Gatherings 🥂✨ Inspired by Anthony Bourdain’s world travels, The Ends boasts understated luxury with mid-century modern decor. The vibe is perfect for friend gatherings, dates, or celebrations—both people and food photograph beautifully. ✨ Why It Stands Out Atmosphere: Low-key yet elegant mid-century modern style sets a refined tone. It’s versatile enough for casual friend hangs or special occasions, with great lighting for photos. Global Flair: Drawing from Bourdain’s journeys, the menu offers creative, well-crafted dishes that feel unique but approachable. Solid Cocktails: Every cocktail we tried hit the mark—no misses, making it easy to pair with meals or enjoy on their own. 🍴 Dish Breakdown Starters Oysters: Fresh and juicy, though on the smaller side. A solid choice for seafood lovers craving brininess. Bovine Tartar: A standout! Rich, silky bone marrow pairs with bright, well-seasoned beef tartare. Served with garlic bread—every bite (marrow + tartar + bread) is incredibly flavorful. Mains We ordered all the meat dishes on the menu (sadly, tomahawk steak was sold out). Pro tip: Avoid ordering too many red meats—their seasonings are similar, leading to taste fatigue. Bison Filet: Tender and juicy, infused with maple bone marrow butter for a subtle sweet richness. Wagyu NY Strip: Fine-grained and tender, but uses the same sauce as the bison filet. Dirty Veal: Bold, rich sauce that’s memorable—stands out from the other red meats. Sweet-Tea Marinated Chicken: Lightly sweet and refreshing, with tender meat that balances the heavier dishes. Chef’s Daily Catch: Flaky, fatty fish, but the portion is smaller than the meat options. Not the best value—skip if you’re craving a hearty main. Desserts Tiramisu: A must for tiramisu fans! topped with a layer of coffee granita, the cool, icy texture pairs perfectly with the creamy cake—unique and delicious. Crème Brûlée: Well-executed with a perfectly crisp caramel shell and balanced sweetness. 📌 Practical Info 🏠 Name: The Ends📍 Location: Scottsdale (ideal for ASU students and locals)💡 Pro Tips: Reserve ahead for peak times (weekends, evenings).
