My husband and I went to Point of View for our 52 nd anniversary last night. We first experienced on our 50 th wedding anniversary and fell in love with the whole experience and decided that each year we would go there to celebrate. Last night was both wonderful and disappointing I ordered the fillet. The presentation was wonderful but the first bite was not the experience I was anticipating The fillet wasn't seasoned at all. Not even salt. Our wonderful waiter, Trevor, asked what was wrong He said no problem I can switch this out for the Chilean Sea Bass (which he knew I had the previous year and loved). I felt terrible about sending the food back but he assured me it was ok. Soon this chef from the kitchen came out with a piece of chiliean sea bass on a plate from the kitchen with none of the sides. No potato cake or vegetable It wasn't pretty at all just a piece of fish on a plain white plate. I didnt say anything because I didn't want to ruin the evening or upset my husband. The Chilean sea bass was fantastic. However I got up the next morning and wished I had said something. I think the dish was around $70 . Some people eat at restaurants such as Pointe of View all the time but for us we only go once a year for a special occasion On a positive note each year we have the same waiter, Trevor. He is wonderful. None of the above was his fault. But if you happen to Go to Pointe of View ask for Trevor read more

The overall atmosphere of this place was a 8/10 very pleasant me and my party had a good time. The only problem I encountered is we had to wait 2 hours for our food. She would give us a menu and run away. read more

Loved everything about this restaurant, except that there was a private event going on at sunset when we were there! We will have to return when the patio is open! I booked a reservation for my parents' anniversary and we got beautiful sunset photos before our dinner arrived. My folks loved everything from the ambiance to the high quality food and warm welcoming service. I had the freshest fish entree, prepared perfectly. I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone celebrating something and wanting to try a great restaurant with an equally incredible view. read more

For my birthday dinner I ordered the butter-based prime filet mignon and the aged prime New York strip. I was very disappointed with my experience at Different Point of View Restaurant. I ordered a steak and it was served cold, which is unacceptable for a premium entrée. To make matters worse, there was a pat of butter sitting on top that hadn't even begun to melt, making it obvious the steak was nowhere near hot when it was served. The mashed potatoes were only lukewarm, and the overall presentation and quality did not match the prices charged. When you're paying for a steak dinner, you expect it to arrive fresh and hot. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I spoke with management the only solution that they could come up with was to reheat the steak to melt the butter which is totally unacceptable. The view may be nice, but the food quality and attention to detail fell well below expectations. I hope management takes steps to improve food temperature and quality control in the future. On the positive side, the view was amazing. The drinks were great. The crispy black tiger shrimp were also great, but when it came to the entrées, it definitely came up short. read more

Amazing views, great food, and impeccable service. Our server (Nick?) really could not have been better. My daughter's steak (ordered medium) was pretty close to well done, and he didn't even ask if she wanted another one, he just took care of it immediately and said he'd have another steak out for her right away. The fried rice egg appetizer was fantastic. The Caesar salad was just okay -- way too much dressing. I got the mussels with smoked salmon as my entree, and it was fine. I'd give the food quality a 4/5, but the ambiance & service definitely make it a 5 overall. read more

Impeccable! From the view, to the food, to the service, Different Pointe of view is the best of the best. This is a Phoenix institution and if you have not been, you must go. If you're looking to take someone to a place to impress them, this is the way to do it. I was there for a work dinner and we opted to order a variety of items and go family style. I'm so glad we did because we got to try a large portion of the menu and everything was absolutely delicious! See photos for the menu and food. When you go, time it so you can have a sunset drink on the patio before dinner. You will not regret it! read more

Different Pointe of View - View from outside. - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I booked reservations here for our anniversary & birthday dinner! We were seated immediately and was greeted by Richard! He was amazing and very attentive. We had a nice view but realized sitting by the door there is alot of foot traffic. We ordered the 63 egg fried rice for a starter and the taste was great but if texture of food throws you off I would avoid this one. The egg whites were too gelatinous for me and caused it to look strange. If it tastes good then just eat it, but man it was a mental challenge. I ordered the New York strip rare and it came with charred broccolini and a puck of potatoes. The steak was cooked different all over. I had some overcooked and undercooked parts. The broccolini tasted great but missed the char. The potato circle definitely needed some salt or sauces to accommodate the dryness and lack of seasoning. The mocktail "Winter Solstice" was delicious. The anniversary/birthday cake was not complimentary. Although he did through in some free chocolates at the end with the coffee. I definitely don't want anything for free but I am aware of the small things restaurants can do to make the evening more special. Top of the Rock was a better experience in this area. The food was disappointing but the ambience, the servers (especially the guy who recommended the bread and dipping sauces), and the views are really what gives this place the 4 stars for me. read more

Had some issues at the front desk, our reservation I made on open table didn't pop up. Which is weird because I paid $30. Not sure how that happened or works! Never had to pay for reservations.. that I know of. Anywho, Richard was our server. We asked to be seated with a view and it was beautiful, right at a window! Richard was friendly! He also offered to take our photos outside. He made the experience good. Food was yummy! I ordered the chefs special and he order the NY strip! Both cooked to perfection. We loved the Tiger Shrimp app - tasted fresh which is rare when you order seafood in the desert. Looked at the dessert menu but we were too full. Lots of great photo ops on each floor. We would come back! read more

Different Pointe of View (DPOV) is hands down the BEST view in all of Phoenix or Scottsdale!! Other restaurants come close, but none can top this mountain top view and the sunsets! Just driving up to the restaurant parking lot makes you realize how high up you are. Make a reservation to arrive before sunset so you get to enjoy the view in the daylight, then sunset, and then night sky. DPOV has a romantic ambiance. It's great for special occasions. They bring you complimentary bread with a side of three spreads. I love their lobster bisque and their crab cake. I've ordered their scallops more than once, they are delicious and cooked perfect! I've also had their pan seared Chilean Seabass, yum! The View is the Star of the show but the food is for sure the supporting actor that also wins a role!! Add DPOV to your list! read more

Where do I start. This place is connected to the Hilton. Which is nice so that you get someone to drive you in the golf cart up to the door. One thing to remember is that you need to get reservations in advance. The hostess was helpful as she was able to get us a table with a great view. The table staff was funny and they were accommodating and they even took our picture outside with phoenix lights in the background. They provided 3 types bread and three types of dipping/butter. They all were delicious. I had the Brussels leaf salad. It's like a wedge salad but with Brussels sprouts leaves but tasted better. My steak was done perfectly and I enjoyed the lobster mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. My wife sea bass was done perfectly and she liked it a lot. Overall the food, staff and atmosphere was spot on that night. read more

Ian, our Server was very polite, thorough and accommodating. Ian has been with Different Point of View for 20+ years, I witnessed him present a wine from a well known Winery from CA, he was "Spot On" in his presentation and sold the table a bottle of a great wine. He made our dining experience "Enjoyable"! His support staff were excellent, very attentive and polite. Drinks were phenomenal, Featured Cocktail was well balanced-tasty, Signature Old Fashion-Perfect-so smooth and refreshing. We had a 4 Course Pre-fix Menu for Thanksgiving. We had Squash Soup-Marvelous, Cauliflower Soup-Marvelous As Well-my wife's favorite! Harvest Salad was Super, Butternut Salad just okay Turkey Meal-was good Sea Bass-okay-cold when it arrived-we should have sent back but we didn't our bad! Sides: Mashed Potatoes needed more gravy, or more butter which Ian's Support Staff accommodated. Macaroni-okay Dressing-Very Interesting We love this restaurant, views are stupendous We will return read more

This is worth the trip to have drinks on the terrace and enjoy the view. The service was outstanding. The food was overpriced and nothing particularly special. With a group of 4 we shared the Caesar salad, gnocchi, Napa cabbage salad, the manzanilla salad, and the shrimp. It was all "ok" but not remarkable. Skip the food and enjoy the drinks and the view! read more

The most unprofessional experience in our life. The food and atmosphere is not enough to get away with lack of professionalism and service. Our daughter went there before prom and told the waiter the group had prom plans. The restaurant was having technical issues and couldn't accept credit cards. They were not notified when seated until it was time to pay. The process took so long, they missed their prom completely. You need 2.5 hours to have dinner there, due to the shuttle that needs to be taken in order to even get to the restaurant. This was unbelievable and unacceptable. Our four girls spent $75 on prom tickets they never got to go to. read more

Enjoyed dinner last year so much, that we returned for Christmas Eve this year. From entry to exit, service could not have been more gracious. Brother eating Keto, so had Steak &a salad. Shared mussel appetizer. Really delicious with bits of candied ginger in the sauce. Would have liked a larger portion, more mussels though. Bread basket was ... phenomenal! Steaks Large and perfectly cooked, tender and delicious filets. Potatoes Anna, not found often, were a treat of a side dish. View hasn't changed, still spectacular. Our servers were all exceptional! We have had consecutive excellence here, and look forward to another special occasion return. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for awhile. We came here to celebrate our anniversary, and I'd say this place is a little challenging to get to. It's up on the hill at the hotel with narrow and steep roads and can get congested quick with too many cars. It was dark when we came so it was hard to see where to go, and you have to go up a bunch of stairs, and they had a private event so we weren't sure where the actual restaurant entrance was. When we got to the top of the stairs, the hosts were talking to each other and didn't even greet us when we walked up as they were in the middle of a conversation so we didn't even know if we were in the right place. We had to greet them first, to tell them we had a reservation. Then getting to the table, the views are absolutely stunning here. They welcomed us with 3 different types of bread and 3 different spreads which were all incredible but the focaccia was my favorite. Our server was great and helped recommend some of the most popular dishes and we went with the Prickly pear salmon, the 63 degree egg, and the NY strip. The 63 degree egg appetizer was super unique, flavorful, and delicious I'd highly reccomend that. Then my prickly pear salmon was AMAZING. It was so buttery, and melted in your mouth and was nice and sweet with the prickly pear glaze, and the bamboo rice with it was delicious too. My partner ordered the NY strip and unfortunately he said it was just an okay steak, and had better elsewhere so wouldn't recommend that one. The potato cake was interesting too but almost tasted a little sour like there was sour cream in there, it was still good though. Then they brought us out some chocolates & strusel for our anniversary which was sweet. Water was always filled here, and service at the table was great. Docking a star though for the initial encounter with the hosts was not that great of an experience and I'd expect better at a fine dining establishment like this one, also for the not so great steak. read more

The experience doesn't start inside the restaurant. My beautiful girlfriend and I found the perfect parking spot with a view of the beautiful cityscape. Once we made it to reception they were quick to find our reservation and seated up immediately. I really wish I had the names of the two team members that assisted up with having an amazing night. 02/16/2026 8PM. Thank you to my servers. They welcomed us and had a super friendly vibe. I didn't just feel like a customer, I felt like a guest. Customer service was 10/10. They were extremely attentive and respectful. The food was amazing. From breads, wine, appetizers, entrees, and lastly dessert. Breads were amazing, complemented with a butter, pesto, and sweet fruity cream cheese. Btw they aren't skimpy on the quality of their bread The Malbec we had was amazing, perfect temp, and extremely clean glasses. Making sure the wine was to our liking, my girlfriend and I do enjoy our wines. Big thank you for making my girlfriend happy. Appetizer: FRESH! The beef tartar was fresh, beautifully presented. The love of my life truly enjoyed her Parmesan Black Pepper Gnocchi. OMG you guys elevated our standards of what Gnocchi should taste like. Best way to describe it would be "the softest most light mashed potato as a tiny pillow, covered in a amazing black pepper sauce" Entrees: Beautiful, NY strip was perfect temp, and delicious, potato cake was amazing! My queen had San Marzano Tomato Coconut "Korma". SHE LOVED IT!!! Thank you for assisted me on making our first Valentines Date and dinner amazing! We love you guys!!! Dessert: Not going to lie, we were full but how could we say no. Creme Brûlée was amazing, fresh vanilla seeds were visible, perfectly caramelized crust on top, topped with fresh Raspberries and Blueberries. Thank you guys. OKAY so if you took the time to read my review you are probably asking the price. I was expecting to pay $300+. Nope it was only $230 for a $500 dinning experience. Make sure to tip your servers generously and please just enjoy yourself here. The servers are amazing, the view is spectacular, and lastly it a place that even photos won't do it justice. Thank you team Different Pointe of View for making that night amazing. read more

Different Pointe of View - Terrazas Malbec - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First time at different pointe of view and such a lovely experience. It's definitely a dress nice type of restaurant as stated on their website. For our appetizers, we got Iberico Pork Belly and it was fantastic. Tender and well seasoned. Our main meal we got the salmon and the koji marinated hanger steak. We ordered medium for the steak and it was fantastic, tender and juicy with just enough pink. The steak came with a potato cake which was tasty. The salmon was also delicious, flaky and tender. Dessert was also marvelous, the summer panna cotta apparently is really popular so we decided to try it. All I have to say is, there was nothing left of the dessert before we left. Also got their margarita which I really liked. It was definitely spicy, sweet but strong. Apart from the food at different pointe of view, the view from the Terrance was breathtaking. We were able to take picture of the city, talk outside while waiting for our food, take pictures and watch the moon. It's definitely one of the sleeping points of this restaurant. Our service was great, all the waiters were attentive and our food was brought in a timely fashion. I'll definitely be back. read more

Different Pointe of View - Friends Sweet Italian Sausage & Fresh Mozzarella Raviolis - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The service here is not good. My mom and I came in around 8pm on a Tuesday night for dessert and had to wait 30 minutes after ordering our dessert just to be told that the one we wanted wasn't actually available. After ordering a different one, it took another 30 minutes for that one to be made and it was good, but not worth the wait. The portion was really small, too. Our waitress did not refill our waters at all. We ended up having to go up to the front to ask for our check because she was nowhere to be found. Another waitress handled the check while our original waitress was cleaning the silverware. The restaurant was not busy so the service really should have been better. The inside of the restaurant and rooftop is nice and gives a pretty view of the sunset and city skyline, but the actual building that the restaurant is in feels really outdated. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with this restaurant considering it's located at a nice hotel. I probably would not come back. read more

This place has the best view in Phoenix. Has amazing ambiance too. All I can say is WW. This restaurant is tucked away up a hill near a hotel or some sort of Resort.The food was good but the menu is pretty small. The presentation was lovely, as they crisped my salmon's skin and added it as garnish, which tasted like a potato chip-might I add.The waiters were awesome and the drinks were as well. But you'd better have your coins in order if you plan on visiting this place. It's beautiful! Awesome idea for a date night. I would recommend making reservations. The website states that they have a dress code, but I saw people dining that looked as if they had just come from the pool or the club. I would definitely recommend, and will definitely return on my next Phoenix trip. read more

Can't beat the view at this fine dining restaurant! Waitstaff were attentive and had great recommendations. The specials of the day had run out before our reservation, but it goes to show they are highly sought out dishes. Menu was very flavor-forward with layers of delicious components. The scallops and filet were top-notch choices. I was drooling over my friend's steak topped with luscious lobster butter, but wasn't upset that my seafood dish and the addictive pieces of bacon scattered throughout. Grabbed dessert to-go. My friend said the carrot cake was the best she ever had, and my chocolate cheesecake was so rich and smooth. Overall, great experience in all components - atmosphere, service, and food. read more

Have been several times--for special occasions, celebrations, and hosting family from out of town--and can't recommend it enough! Yes, it's on the pricy side. But the views and the exceptional service is worth it! The food has always been good (our last visit, the cook on the proteins was not what we had hoped for) but overall it's an excellent meal! As most would suggest, try to book a reservation before sunset, so you can enjoy both versions of this picturesque view of the city! read more

Okay gang, The food is 100% a la carte, so when you get your 6 oz $60 filet, don't expect it to come with anything - so my wife and I just had hunks of meat, no sides (which are $14-$16/each.

Different Pointe of View - The view from outside - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

recently visited Different Pointe of View, and while the experience overall was enjoyable, it's clear that you're primarily paying for the stunning view -- not the food. The outdoor patio offers an incredible atmosphere, with breathtaking scenery that truly makes the visit worthwhile. Sitting outside and taking in the views was by far the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the setting. The dishes were average at best and seemed like something I could have easily prepared at home. For the premium prices being charged, I expected much higher quality and more creative offerings. That said, I'm glad I had the experience, but this is more of a "go for the view, not for the food" type of spot. Worth a visit if you're looking to enjoy a beautiful evening outdoors -- just temper your expectations when it comes to the meal. read more

Staying at the Pointe for a few days to visit friends, we always started the evening at this stellar bar and restaurant. A little on the high end, but not overly, the service quick and friendly, upscale yet casual. The views of downtown, especially at night, are spectacular. One thing about Phoenix are the big skies which lend to incredible sunsets. This night was no exception. Perfect place for a romantic evening or get together with friends, it's a must! read more
