Each dish is crafted with balance, restraint, and a deep respect for product, elevating familiar flavors into refined, contemporary expressions.
The Story
From West Hollywood,
to Old Town.
It started in 2018, on a stretch of La Cienega Boulevard in West Hollywood. Sean Mulholland, a Mullingar native and lifelong friend of Niall Horan, opened the first 40 Love in partnership with the h.wood Group. A country-club bar in a city that loved one. The pandemic closed it.
In 2021, Sean partnered with Avery Johnson Jr. with a different brief: take the name somewhere it could live longer. A proper restaurant. A city ready for it.
The Super Bowl came to Scottsdale in 2023. They put up a pop-up. The room filled and kept filling. They stayed.
The permanent flagship opened on Sixth Avenue in December of 2025. Older, slower, more deliberate than the LA original. A country-club room cooked with intention.
The Kitchen
Familiar at heart, refined in hand.
A menu of American classics, refined without fuss. Seasonal product, patient technique, and restraint where it counts. Familiar flavors, cooked with care.
The Room
A country club, with European weight.
Seven thousand square feet on Sixth Avenue, in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. Designed by John Sofio of Built, the LA studio behind Delilah and The Nice Guy. Two bars, three private rooms, a private patio. Vintage tennis racquets on the walls.
The Cooking
Three principles, one plate.
01
Comfort
American classics, the familiar at the center of the plate.
02
Craft
Refined technique. Sauces built with patience. Skill that does not announce itself.
03
Restraint
Clean, vibrant, and ingredient-driven. A deep respect for product.
