Three Familiar Rooms on North Scottsdale Road Now Run From 7 a.m. Breakfast to Late Robata

Chauncey Social, the North Scottsdale spot that was part restaurant and part day club, closed on April 1, 2025, according to Phoenix New Times. For about seventeen months its building at 17767 N. Scottsdale Road stayed dark. Then, over twelve days in September 2026, that room and two others on the same stretch of road got new kitchens. A robata grill opened on September 16. On September 28, a family breakfast restaurant held its grand opening and a Sonoran live-fire dining room began its soft opening.

All three rooms were already familiar to anyone who drives the 17000 block of North Scottsdale Road. What's different is how the stretch runs now. It used to center on a day club. Today it covers breakfast, an early-evening happy hour and a late dinner, and each of those slots belongs to an operator new to this address.

The Room That Sat Dark for Seventeen Months

The building KUZA now occupies has a planning file. In 2019 and 2020, the City of Scottsdale reviewed a conditional use permit for a bar in a roughly 6,500-square-foot restaurant at Building C, Suite 100, of Chauncey Lane Marketplace. The Planning Commission recommended it 6-0 in January 2020, and City Council approved it 7-0 that February. That case sheet, 11-UP-2019, still carries the Chauncey Social name. Phoenix New Times identified Chauncey Social as part of Evening Entertainment Group, the company behind Bottled Blonde and Backyard.

KUZA opened in that room on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, as Phoenix New Times reported. It is Clive Collective's sixth restaurant, and Executive Chef Erik Davila runs the kitchen around an open robata grill and a raw bar. The Scottsdale Scoop reported that the raw bar's fish is flown in from Tokyo twice a week.

In its first look at KUZA, Forking Scottsdale described a few signature dishes:

• Chicken Negima, glazed and turned over charcoal until the sauce caramelizes
• Market Robata Prawns, finished with a red kosho-yuzu glaze and house-smoked sea salt
• Spanish Grilled Octopus, slow-cooked, then charred on the robata and served with harissa honey and a Japanese-inspired aguachile

Forking Scottsdale credits Davila with more than 16 years of culinary experience.

Timing matters most here. KUZA's own guest page lists hours of 4 to 10 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday and 4 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday. On every night it's open, the first hour is what KUZA calls the Initiation Hour, from 4 to 5 p.m., with $5 bites, $10 plates, $15 rolls and sashimi, and drinks from $5. You can reserve on OpenTable or by calling (602) 536-5123, and groups of nine or more book through an events page.

Next Door, a Father and Son Open Their Fourth Restaurant Together

A few doors down, at 17757 N. Scottsdale Road, OEB Breakfast Co. closed after six years in the space, according to PHOENIX magazine's September roundup. The room stayed a breakfast room. The Breakfast Table held its grand opening in Suite 103 on Monday, September 28, 2026.

Forking Scottsdale reported that Ken Vondra and his son own and run The Breakfast Table, and that it's the fourth restaurant the two have owned and run together. The menu covers breakfast and lunch standards, plus cocktails, mimosas and mimosa flights for weekend brunch. The posted hours at opening were 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., seven days a week, and the phone number is (480) 203-2339. The restaurant's site describes it as family-owned and operated.

The Breakfast Table and KUZA sit in the same Chauncey Lane Marketplace, and their hours never overlap. One closes at 2 p.m. and the other opens at 4. Between them, the center now covers breakfast and dinner with a two-hour gap in the afternoon.

A Hermosillo Kitchen Picks 17007 N. Scottsdale Road for Its First U.S. Room

Farther south on the same road, at 17007 N. Scottsdale Road, the former Carrabba's Italian Grill building now houses Quiriego Cocina Rústica. The Scottsdale Scoop reported its soft opening on September 28 and called it the concept's first U.S. location. PHOENIX magazine included it among the Valley's October openings and described it as a restaurant built around wood-fired cooking, fresh tortillas and salsas made to order.

The restaurant has history behind it. Forking Scottsdale's first look reports that the Abeyta family runs Quiriego. Mario Abeyta leads the project and Carlos Abeyta is the chef. The restaurant opened in Hermosillo, Sonora, in 2019 and then expanded to Mexicali, Baja California, before coming to Scottsdale. The name comes from El Quiriego, Sonora, where the family's grandmother was from.

The menu is built around fire:

• Pulpo a las Brasas, slow-braised octopus finished over live fire
• Cocido Sonorense al Fuego, a house-braised short rib with fire-roasted vegetables
• Sonoran Pizza, made on naturally fermented dough with Sonoran cheese, grilled Snake River Farms skirt steak, roasted green chile and chiltepín

Forking Scottsdale visited during the soft opening and wrote about a staff that asked diners for their opinions. In its words:

They genuinely wanted feedback.

Quiriego's website lists hours of 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 4 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and takes reservations online.

How the Week Lays Out Now

Put the three schedules side by side and they fit together. Quiriego serves dinner every night, which covers the Monday and Tuesday that KUZA is closed. KUZA's Initiation Hour runs at the same time as Quiriego's first hour of service, so on Wednesday through Sunday this stretch has two dinner rooms open by 4 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays, KUZA stays open latest.

The Breakfast Table's hours are the ones it posted when it opened. KUZA and Quiriego list their current hours on their own sites, and checking those before you go is the simplest way to plan an evening, especially in the weeks around Thanksgiving.

The Rest of North Scottsdale's Fall Openings

The Scottsdale Road trio is the tightest cluster, but it isn't the only new dining north of Shea this fall. PHOENIX magazine's monthly roundups list several more within a short drive.

• Costa Bella Italian Kitchen, 14692 N. Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd., opened in October with fresh pasta, veal piccata, cioppino and four risottos.
• Hook 'N Cleaver Premium Market, 14144 N. 100th St., is a meat-and-fish market that also makes sandwiches, salads and bowls. The Scottsdale Scoop noted that it stocks Mary's pasture-raised organic chicken and makes a chicken salad sandwich on Noble Bread.
• Il Segreto, 8900 E. Pinnacle Peak Road, is a fine-dining Italian restaurant with seasonal dishes and an aperitivo menu, listed among the September openings.
• Baan Thai Bistro, 7605 E. Pinnacle Peak Road, serves panang curry, Thai barbecue chicken and pad Thai, and was also listed in September.

Each of these is a single address. Along Scottsdale Road from 17007 to 17767, one short drive covers a new breakfast, a new happy hour and two new dinner menus.

Restaurant turnover on a corridor like this one shapes a home's daily routine as much as its floor plan does, and it's something I follow closely across North Scottsdale.
