Dear Esteemed Readers
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our newest edition of L+S Magazine, an issue devoted to the flavors, craft, and culinary imagination that make dining an experience worth savoring. This month, we lean fully into indulgence. Inside these pages, you’ll discover a lineup of restaurants whose passion for detail elevates each plate to an art form.
Our cover feature brings you inside Shinbay, a transcendent omakase experience where precision meets poetry, bite by bite. And for those who worship the power of an unforgettable steak, don’t miss our Top 15 Steakhouses article, carefully curated, meticulously evaluated, and unapologetically mouthwatering. We’ve also sprinkled in a touch of travel inspiration, because great meals deserve great backdrops.

Omakase transcends from a meal into a ritual of trust between chef and guest, where each course arrives as both surprise and revelation. In Scottsdale, nowhere embodies this elevated journey more fully than Shinbay, a temple of Japanese refinement where every bite is crafted with precision and quiet drama. At the heart of this performance is Chef Tanaka Ken.
Las Vegas may be a steak lover’s playground, but Scottsdale is no slouch: white-tablecloth temples with deep cellars, serious Wagyu programs, and dining rooms that swing from resort-polished to Old Town electric.
Whether you’re after a date-night showpiece, a resort icon with sunset views, or an Old Town chophouse with a bourbon library, these spots deliver USDA Prime, American, and Japanese Wagyu, and the kind of service that makes dinner feel like an event. Here are Scottsdale’s upscale favorites, no chain fluff, just the rooms that keep the standard high. (Old Town emphasis, with a few essential North Scottsdale and resort icons.)
