Description: The only thing primitive about Wildfish Seafood Grille is the swimmingly fresh seafood -- mostly caught the day before and shipped next day on ice. Otherwise, this cosmopolitan bistro is as sophisticated as any fine eatery in New York or Vegas. Burnished wood, dim theatrical lighting, cozy tables, a stylish exhibition kitchen and central bar with several TVs available to catch the game embellish the interior. Veteran restaurateurs Guy Villavaso and Larry Foles (Z'Tejas, Eddie V's Edgewater Grille) have created a fierce seafood-steakhouse combination, which attracts food-loving couples, ladies on a luxurious night out and sexy singles at the bar. Because Wildfish is not as wallet-busting as similar concepts in the area, go ahead and start with a spicy lump crab cake surrounded in a buttery remoulade sauce. If you're in the mood for steak, pick a finely aged filet, rib eye or veal chop.

This is a very good restaurant with excellent service and a relaxed atmosphere, from the moment you enter and are seated you are looked after. We did notice that the bar is nowhere near as lively as it used to be which is sad as this made the restaurant vibrant before. Hopefully we just went on a quiet night although... More

It was a hot afternoon in Phoenix and we needed a good meal. We used Trip Advisor to locate a seafood place and we were very impressed. As it was early afternoon, we arrived during Happy Hour .The Margaritas were great, the atmosphere impressive without being oppressive and the meal would have been right at home in Anchorage or Sanibel,...

This restaurant tries hard but doesn't quite make the grade. It's located in a large, attractive, open and modern space, with a huge metal sculpture type thing over the bar which resembles a fish skeleton. Clever. We didn't find the place noisy early in the evening, but as the central bar filled up we could see the potential for lots... More

Coming from Naples, Florida, didn't think the first dinner I would have in Arizona would be seafood! But this restaurant was well worth the visit for delicious seafood and delightful atmosphere...give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Best food! For a seafood restaurant we decided to go with a filet, it was something ridiculous like 32oz. Of course my husband and I easily shared the entree. For a seafood restaurant, it was probably one of the best seasoned, prepared and cooked filets I have ever had out! Everything else that we ordered from appetizer to sides were... More

My husband and I visited Wildfish Seafood Grille last evening and we were both extremely impressed with the quality of the food and the service. My husband used to live in Phoenix and we would stay at many resorts in the Phoenix area when I visited him over a 2 year period. Therefore, we had several dining experiences here and... More

The thought of seafood in the desert is odd but Wildfish managed to serve some of the freshest I've had anywhere. The oysters were amazing - don't miss these. The service is outstanding and the quality of food is wonderful.

Excellent experience. Heirloom tomatoes with buffalo mozzerella was delicious. I kept soaking up the dressing with bread. Ahi tuna steak was also very good. Sat outside and people watched. I'd go back if in Scottsdale again.

We visited this restaurant during a weeklong visit in April 2013. It was as a result of a quick Trip Advisor search for a highly recommended restaurant and we were not disappointed. It was a mid-week day and we arrived around 6pm without a reservation but were quickly seated with an inside seat with a great view to Camelback Street... More
