I was excited to try this restaurant as I travel to Spain frequently and love paella. The Spanish influence was the reason why we stayed at this property. Patatas bravas and the pimientos de Padrón were absolutely fantastic. Then, we had the vegetable paella, which resembled a deconstructed ratatouille. Not trying to judge a dish by its appearance, we embarked on tasting what is the worst paella I have ever eaten. The rice did not taste or look like Valencia rice. The sauce had a heavy tomato taste. I am not sure why people rave about the paella here. I am genuinely confused about that. Jonathan was our server, and he was top-notch. He was kind and provided amazing service. I would dine here again, but I will order a different main dish. - Lindsay

Prado Restaurant Introduce

For those in Arizona seeking a truly distinctive and upscale dining experience with a taste of the Mediterranean, Prado Restaurant offers an authentic Spanish-influenced culinary journey right here in Scottsdale. Situated within the luxurious Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia, Prado is more than just a restaurant; it’s an immersive experience designed to transport guests to the charming, vibrant atmosphere reminiscent of Spain’s Andalusian region.

Prado seamlessly blends the rich flavors and heritage of Spanish cuisine—such as wood-fired cooking techniques and an appreciation for fine regional wines—with a sophisticated American palate, utilizing the freshest local ingredients available from Arizona's extensive farming community. The restaurant focuses heavily on Spanish traditions, notably through its extensive selection of tapas (small, savory dishes meant for sharing) and its communal, festive dining setting. It provides a unique escape, allowing patrons to enjoy a taste of international elegance without ever leaving the Valley of the Sun.

The culinary offerings span from small plates like classic *Patatas Bravas* and wood-fired appetizers to large-format main dishes, with Paella being a central feature, celebrated for its saffron-infused rice and various protein combinations.
