Suzanne Gaidos

Opening window: Winter 2025 (construction begins July 7, 2025)

Location & setting: 7th floor rooftop of Caesars Republic Scottsdale, 6,500 sq ft, with panoramic views of Camelback Mountain

The aesthetic will lean into opulence: dramatic lighting, bold textures, a theatrical central bar, and design elements inspired by Lisa Vanderpump’s design house,
Menu will strike a balance between signature dishes from the Lake Tahoe location and new shareable bites tailored to Arizona’s seasonal and regional ingredients.
Cocktail program is billed to be theatrical and Instagram-worthy, with garnishes and presentation that nod to the desert palette.

Caesars Republic Scottsdale is located near Fashion Square in central Scottsdale.
Because Wolf sits on the rooftop, it will become a visually striking destination — the views alone may make it a draw.
You can think of it as a vertical anchor: guests can dine, drink, and stay (or visit) all in one destination.

Estimated opening: Late August / early September 2025

Address: 17767 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 100 (former Chauncey Social location)

Kuza will focus on Japanese robata-style cooking (charcoal/grill in front of diners) with a curated raw bar.
Menu highlights will include ramen, udon, wagyu, sashimi, grilled seafood and vegetables.
The space is expected to lean modern and dynamic — matching Clive Collective’s pattern of stylish, attention-grabbing interiors.

This is in north Scottsdale along Scottsdale Road — not in the dense Old Town cluster, but still easily accessible for many Scottsdale residents.
Because it's replacing Chauncey Social, it should already have a “restaurant footprint” that’s familiar to locals.
It complements other Clive Collective expansions in Phoenix / Scottsdale, aiming to build a network of signature destination restaurants.

Opened / opening: Spring 2025; in fact, it’s already open and receiving reviews.

Address: 7277 E. Camelback Road

Sexy Roman is led by James Beard-nominated Chef Jason Franey and backed by the LA-based team behind Phoenix’s Baltaire / Flint concepts.
The menu combines Italian and Mediterranean influence: handmade pastas, Roman-inspired small plates, elevated entrees, and a raw bar.
A signature feature is a tableside martini cart / drink service, and dramatic lighting, moody interior, sliding window walls with indoor-outdoor flexibility, and glowing marble/bar surfaces.
Reviewers (post-opening) have praised the design and energy but noted some inconsistency in food execution, so this is a concept still finding its footing.

Within W Scottsdale, Sexy Roman is well situated to catch both hotel guests and locals.
Because it’s already operating, it can serve as an early test-case in how locals adopt these new high-concept dining spots.
