Scheduled to debut on October 15, 2025, the restaurant is the latest venture from local restaurateur Sam Fox, known for his contributions to the culinary scene in the area. Reservations for Society Swan are currently open, allowing eager diners to secure their spot at this highly anticipated establishment.
Located in a two-level space that was formerly occupied by Kona Grill, Society Swan promises to blend American brasserie fare with influences from East Coast cuisine and Parisian dining. The restaurant aims to foster a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere while elevating everyday meals into a more glamorous experience. The design and ambiance pay homage to the stylish socialites of New York City in the 1960s and 1970s, alongside inspirations from Paris’ Swan Island.
Society Swan’s diverse menu features a myriad of culinary options catering to a variety of tastes. Key entrees on offer include filet mignon, chicken Francese, and slow-roasted prime rib. For those looking to start their meal with something lighter, the restaurant will offer an array of hors d’oeuvres, such as fresh fig tartlets and roasted garlic custard. Additionally, guests can indulge in a selection of sushi rolls, salads, and seafood dishes, ensuring there is something for everyone.
A unique aspect of Society Swan will be its dedicated frites section. This offering will complement various dishes such as Wagyu skirt steak and braised chicken, served with fries for an extra crunch. For lunchtime diners, Society Swan will feature champagne lunches, providing an opulent option for those looking to elevate their midday meals.
Adding to its appeal, the restaurant will host a $10 martini happy hour, creating an inviting environment for guests to unwind after a long day. Society Swan will emphasize the idea that glamorous dining does not have to be intimidating or overly formal, aligning with Fox’s vision of offering a fun and lighthearted dining experience.
Sam Fox, the driving force behind Society Swan, is well-respected in the Valley’s dining landscape. His portfolio includes well-known establishments such as The Henry, North Italia, and Culinary Dropout. In addition to Society Swan, Fox also oversees The Global Ambassador, a luxury hotel that opened in Phoenix in December 2023 and features five distinct restaurants.
Scottsdale Fashion Square, where Society Swan will be situated, is currently undergoing redevelopment, focusing on enhancing luxury dining experiences. The new south wing of the shopping center is being designed to attract high-end clientele, making Society Swan a fitting addition to the area’s dining offerings.
As the opening date approaches, the excitement surrounding Society Swan continues to build. With its glamorous ambiance, diverse menu, and focus on a relaxed dining experience, this new restaurant is poised to make a significant impact on the local culinary scene in Scottsdale, Arizona.
