Supper is Served

The Valley’s first and only fine dining supper club is ready to wine, dine and entertain patrons

By Wendy Rose Gould

The word “supper” quickly conjures visions of midcentury appeal: dimly lit dining rooms, martinis swirling in hand and carefree evenings that stretch luxuriously late. Shiv’s Supper Club, nestled in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, effortlessly ushers that old-school luxury into the modern era via bespoke cocktails, elevated cuisine and vibrant entertainment.

“Unlike traditional dining, the focus extends beyond the food to create an immersive, theatrical atmosphere,” says Ryan Hibbert, CEO of Riot Hospitality Group, the management company behind this concept and others in the Valley including Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row and Hand Cut Chophouse. “Supper clubs also encourage a stylish dress code, adding to the sense of occasion and making every visit a memorable, multifaceted event.”

Named after the culinary instrument crafted to perfection, Shiv is the first upscale supper club to open in Arizona. The 13,869-square-foot venue exudes modern elegance, natural charm and a hint of temptation with its dramatic lighting, cascading greenery and sculptural accents. The new concept is set to not only redefine the Valley’s social scene, but is poised to create a new nationwide standard in the culinary industry.

Live entertainment and a glamorous atmosphere make for an unforgettable night, but a name like “supper club” also lets guests know their tastebuds are in for a treat, too.

Start the meal with Shiv’s Truffle Butter Bread Service – a tableside experience that involves savory fresh truffles hand-shaved into a housemade compound butter. Guests can also choose from a variety of chilled seafood towers and multiple caviar offerings, including a signature caviar dome that incorporates fresh lobster with house baked brioche toast and decadent lobster butter.

“Expertly crafted entrees include the scallop crudo with delicate sashimi-grade sliced scallop, citrus buttermilk cream, and Aleppo spiced strawberry jus, and the smoke show chowder made with halibut in a lemon chowder broth,” Hibbert says. “A selection of charcoal-fired prime steaks, including a showstopping colossal tomahawk presented tableside, are perfect for steak aficionados.”

As for drinks, the cocktail program prioritizes artistry and innovation, with some drinks taking up to 48 hours to prepare ahead of time before they’re ready for imbibing. And what’s supper without a sweet treat to close out the show? The Dessert Room by Shiv combines jaw-dropping desserts, bubbly Champagne, and more elevated entertainment.

Shiv Supper Club is set to open early this month. Specific hours and days of operation were not available at the time of print.
