Skip roka akor4sure. I've never felt as jipped in my entire life as I did when the check came at roka.
Cowboy Ciao is pretty good - it's right next door to Sea Saw and is owned by the same folks.
Hit up Le Grande Orange for breakfast. The espresso is more miss than hit, but you kind of can't beat house-made english muffins.
Persian Room for dank middle eastern food.
I also like to cruise over to north Tempe and hit up Udupi for hole-in-the-wall vegetarian/vegan Indian food, but that's not everyone's cup of tea.
STFU is telling me to add DeFalco's to the list for lunch.
Also, don't get your hopes up for Pizzeria Bianca (which is downtown phx, not Scottsdale). It's as notorious for 2-4 hour waits as it is for the apparently ungodly delicious pizza.
