Searsucker, the second location of Top Chef Brian Malarkey’s restaurant of New American cuisine (the original is in San Diego), snagged one of the spots. The Scottsdale Searsucker is also one of OpenTable’s top spots in its “Vibrant Bar Scene” category.
Also making the list is the chic Japanese cuisine restaurant Sushi Roku, which has sister locations in West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Las Vegas.
