If you're staying anywhere on the north side of Phoenix or Scottsdale and crave a dining room with a view, then put the SUV in low and drive to the top of the hill at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort. Built into a mountaintop, this restaurant takes in dramatic, sweeping vistas of the city, mountains, and desert through its curving walls of glass. Come early, and you can enjoy northerly views from the lounge before heading into the south-facing dining room. The menu veers toward French haute cuisine and American fine dining. Despite the excellent food, award-winning wine list, and live jazz Thursday through Saturday, the view steals the show. less

Different Pointe of View is one of the most spectacular restaurants in the Valley of the Sun. Its view is the best with an atmosphere that will complement any occasion. Award winning Chef Ivan Flowers has developed a wonderful menu rotation with Tasting Menus worthy of his talents. <br> The wine selection is second to none and the lounge patio sets the mood for any romantic evening. I recommend a table against the window with an arrival time before sunset. The view of the city is amazing and following sunset, the city lights are sure to please. <br> The Caesar salad for two, prepared tableside is a must and any chocolate desert is to-die-for. <br> My choice: Chef’s Tasting Menu, Banana’s Flambé for two and a 2000 Adler Fels Late Harvest Gewurztraminer. <br> The best view in Phoenix. less

Chef Ivan is world class. The cuisine is creative and true to gourmet expectations of excellence. The Lobster Bisque is in a class by itself. The wine list is very extensive and filled with outstanding vintages of premiere gran crux wines. Service is every bit as exceptional as you would expect in a five star establishment. The Bananas Foster are prepared ala flambe tableside. The ambiance is warm and elegant. The view is awesome. For a outstanding adventure, turn yourself over to the Chef for a five course dining experience. less

This is one of two of my favorite restaurants. The view is spectacular and I love going here! The food the majority of the time is very good with the exception of one entee that I once had that was a lobster dish. That is the only time that I have been disappointed.
On the whole, I would certainly recommend this restaurant! less
