Super Super high-end place, but worth it if you're wanting one of those eating experiences. Raise you credit card limit before you go because it's expensive. If you don't want dinner, then drinks and apps is a less expensive route while still getting the experience.

Just across the street from Scottsdale Quarter is Kierland. Very similar to Scottsdale Quarter. The food is great and shopping is great. I tend to think Kierland is a bit more family friendly than Scottsdale Quarter. Kierland has a large splash pad for the kids and Shake Shack is located there which is good for kids.
