Orange Table, Scottsdale

Going out to breakfast poses the eternal question: are you in a sweet or savory mood? At Orange Table, however, the line between the two is deliciously blurred. The jalapeño pecan pancakes transform a traditionally sugary dish into a spicy treat, while sauce infused with Sailor Jerry's spiced rum adds an extra burn to the bananas foster French toast. Orange Table serves these breakfast dishes throughout the day, along with omelets, hashes, and honey-infused yogurt. Drinks from the espresso bar and regular coffee offer ample hot liquids in which to dunk your toast or absentmindedly dunk your own hand.

In the afternoons, the kitchen unveils its lunch specialties such as the Arrogant Bastard burger, served with 4 ounces of the namesake ale as well as bacon and house barbecue sauce. For a lighter meal, the Cafe sandwich blends house-pulled mozzarella, basil, tomato, and balsamic dressing. Despite the menu's mainstays, there's still plenty of variety—especially on the walls, which change their decor every month to spotlight work from a different local artist.
