Belmont Kitchen & Cocktails


Welcome to Belmont Kitchen & Cocktails—North Scottsdale’s destination for elevated yet approachable dining. Located beside the iconic original Mastro’s, the restaurant brings together seasonal cuisine, innovative cocktails, thoughtful service, and a refined yet energetic atmosphere.


The restaurant is the vision of longtime friends and business partners Phillip Lewkowicz and Neal Thompson, founders of Rosewood Concepts. United by a passion for exceptional hospitality, they created an experience that delivers the quality and attention to detail of fine dining in a setting that feels stylish, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable.


Phillip brings more than a decade of hospitality experience, having played an integral role in the success of acclaimed restaurants including Café Monarch and Reserve Scottsdale. His understanding of restaurant operations, ingredient-driven cuisine, elevated service, and guest experience helped shape the concept’s identity and continues to guide its evolution.


The culinary program is led by two-Michelin-star Chef Alex Stratta, whose celebrated career and classical technique bring extraordinary depth to the menu. Working alongside Executive Sous Chef Fidencio Alatriste and a talented culinary team, Chef Stratta creates dishes that balance refinement, creativity, and bold, approachable flavors. Every plate is built around premium ingredients, meticulous preparation, and an unwavering commitment to quality.


That same philosophy extends throughout the entire experience—from an inventive craft cocktail program and award-winning wine list to imported glassware, carefully selected plateware, elegant design, and warm, attentive hospitality. Every element is intentional, yet nothing feels overly formal.


Since opening, the restaurant has quickly become one of North Scottsdale’s most exciting dining destinations, earning recognition as Phoenix Magazine’s Best New Restaurant and receiving the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. Guests join us for everything from cocktails and happy hour at the bar to celebrations, intimate dinners, and memorable evenings with friends.


This is only the beginning for Rosewood Concepts. Several new restaurant concepts are actively in development, each with its own distinctive identity while sharing the same commitment to culinary excellence, exceptional design, and hospitality that feels personal. Together, they will continue expanding Rosewood’s vision for the next generation of dining in North Scottsdale.


We look forward to welcoming you to Belmont Kitchen & Cocktails—where classic elegance, modern energy, and genuine hospitality come together.
