Love Raven's View but they publish live music. And we wanted to hear it. Unfortunately, If you are sitting inside and music is outside you can't hear very well. They tried to open the doors but it doesn't do justice. Beware, if you go to listen to someone, you need to gamble on whether the musician is inside or outside. Wonder if they could put speakers inside too. The food. service, and ambiance is awesome though. Just wish we could hear the live music, which is why we came. read more

Great location and views, cool little building, outside host accommodating with the heaters. Live music was good, food below average, prosciutto fig Flatbread was like cardboard, deviled eggs average in addition to jalapeño corn dip. My girl ordered a cocktail, advertised rum and tequila on the drink menu but evidently they don't have a liquor license? How do they get away with that? Requested Tabasco from food runner and she said it would be a while, never brought it, too busy socializing with her co workers. Bartender did let me know the pint glass for the beer would be warm. read more

Great atmosphere, location is spectacular, the wine choices are fantastic, light food to compliment wine pairing. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing place to have wine, a snack and catch a view! If you'd like patio seating, I recommend making a reservation as it's prime seating. This hidden gem offers a great selection of wines and during the right time, great music! The staff members are friendly and attentive, which made our experience that much better. Kim is fantastic and Nick was rather amazing as well! read more

Raven's View - Bartlett Beef Dip and a cup of French Onion Soup - Pubs Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

I'll start by saying that I really, really wanted to like this place. It's got a great vibe and the location lives up to its name. The ladies at the hostess station were nice as could be. We got lucky and didn't have to wait for a table. Got a server named Isaiah. We ordered wine, pretzel bread and a margarita french bread appetizer. The pretzels came out in 5 minutes. The wine took about 15 minutes. At about 30 minutes, I asked Isaiah about the other appetizer. He seemed really confused but said he'd check on it. We were ready to order main courses and at about 35 minutes, I asked Isaiah again about the appetizer, he said it'd be out soon. At 40 minutes, I asked again and he completely disappeared. I finally went to the bar to just cancel it. We decided against eating dinner there altogether since we couldn't get a simple bread appetizer order fulfilled. At almost 50 minutes after we initially ordered the appetizer, they brought out 4 small pieces of bread with a half of a cherry tomato on each with a little cheese and said it was comped. I asked Isaiah why it took this long and me asking him 3 times and he blamed the kitchen completely. He didn't take any responsibility himself whatsoever for constantly disappearing and not following up and i watched this guy chatting up ladies at the bar constantly. If i worked in the kitchen and heard that, I wouldn't be too happy. He was a nice kid but needs some serious training. Judging by the reviews here, my experience is an aberration. That sucks because it was my wife's birthday and we were looking forward to it based on a friend's recommendation. We left hungry. Disappointed. I'd go again and sit at the bar for a glass of wine but the service at a table is just awful. read more

If you are there at a busy time of year, making a reservation a few days prior is a must. We arrived at 4:45 and enjoyed the propane heaters and blankets while browsing the happy hour menu as the sun was setting. The patio isn't perfectly positioned for sunset, but it works. The food is average, happy hour menu makes the prices reasonable, and the views and atmosphere is what you are paying for! read more

This place is INSANE! And you what's more insane? The amount of wine, my best friend can consume there. He's better known as Retired Senior Line Captain Forgey. There's no mistaken this legend, as there's no mistaken the superior service and cool vibe this place cranks out. Just keep an eye out for this fellow, as he can tell you stories beyond belief of his ladder safety training, hazmat communication, and storm water pollution and prevention, just to name a few. If you talk to this guy, buy his amazing a totally cool wife and him a glass, and you will be consumed by his stories while at the same time soaking in the vibe that only this place can offer!!!! read more

Do not go here. It's all mine . The food is mediocre at best, but the setting, service, and wines are wonderful. I love it.

Lol they aren't allowed to dine people outside and take away the seats to spot people from gathering but everyone just brings their own . Our gov't at work with the rules.... read more

Didn't actually get to sit down and eat here. Place is super popular (stunning views). We arrived after a hike around 4:30 (on a Thursday) and walked in. Big mistake. CALL FOR RESERVATIONS. The receptionist was snarky and snooty. The food and ambience looked very nice but if she's your initial encounter, it can definitely make or break your experience there. read more

Came across this little gem by recommendation from a friend. It's the closest restaurant to our house but I would've never found it on my own. They have a great happy hour but the regular menu is just as good. Great wine selection and wine flights and sangria. It's best to make reservations since they are usually very busy but even when they are not they always ask you if you have a reservation. They also have live music occasionally. read more

View/ wine choices/ the staff.... An amazing experience! Casual or date night, with the live music, everything just exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be visiting again when in AZ! read more

Quaint place with amazing food. Great service even though they were SLAMMED. Can't wait to come back. read more

Raven's View - Thai Salad. YUMMO. - Pubs Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

Fantastic paninis! HUGE serving. Love that they've evolved to tables. The live music--not so much. Would love to try it for lunch. read more

This was my first time here and I really wanted to love it! The location, people & atmosphere was all nice. We sat outside & the flys we're in full force! We ordered the rustic bread with prosciutto & cheese, it missed the mark. The bread was not rustic it was sandwich roll cut in half. The deviled eggs were some of the smallest eggs I've ever seen. The tomato burrito stack was supposed to be served with greens, but wasn't. All these simple menu ideas should've been more memorable to keep me coming back. read more

Great spot with a spectacular view of the mountains and valley! Perfect pit stop or destination ride. Fantastic beer and wine selection as well as carefully prepared food selections. Indoor and outdoor seating with super service! Total Mom and pop spot with a cool eclectic vibe. UPDATE: Ravens View has changed ownership.... and it's even better! Expanded menu, with fresh house made soups panini sandwiches, and salads. The previous owners were only open after 4 pm... The new owner is open 7 days for lunch and dinner. There is also a great brunch on the weekend. Super friendly service makes it a real home run! read more

My girlfriend and I came up to Raven's view on Sunday for an "adult" experience. Lacy the bartender was fabulous. The wine selection was fabulous. However, The place was filled with children. (6 children under 7 an 2 pre teens). And Very noisy children at that. If I wanted to be surrounded by children I would've gone to Chuck E. Cheese. Very disappointing and unless and until they change their policy regarding children under the age of 18 I will not be back . Note: on our way out of the tables with young children started singing "now I know my ABCs". WTF?!? This is a wine bar??? read more

What an awful experience. Would have given 0 stars if it were an option. We were seated over an hour and a half, and only 2 out of the 4 people ever got food. They claimed they "ran out of burgers" after waiting another 15 minutes, and finally we got up and left after another 10 minutes of no food. Multiple servers and "managers" came to our table to ask what was wrong, and each time they came back with another excuse as to why 2 people in our party STILL did not get their ordered food. Worst lunch experience and service experience I have ever had. Taking 25% off of a bill does not make up for the embarrassment of that experience, and the fact that 2 people left your restaurant without eating a single bite. read more

Have really liked this place, but the last couple times we've gone service has been awful. I wish the waitstaff would step up.

I need to take a minute to gush with goodness! This place is off the beaten path - which I love. I went in on a Thursday night - not crowded at all - which I love even more. I tried their grilled peach salad and it was to die for. Presentation was beautiful and it was bursting with flavors - blueberries, goat cheese, crispy prosciutto dressed with a lovely balsamic glaze. The gal behind the bar was incredibly sweet with superb customer service skills. I can't wait to go back and share the experience with friends. Thank you SO much Raven's View for such a wonderful evening. read more

Great spot. Wonderful views. Food was exceptional. Service, even better. My family and I came here tonight (a Friday) early. It was already busy which is always a good sign. Had a few appetizers and ordered our meals. Gnocchi was out of this world. Also tried two different paninis. Asked for mine without mushrooms. It showed up with mushrooms which I was able to brush off in 2 seconds. Our server was extremely apologetic but I assured him, no big deal at all. Both paninis tasted great. Got our check and he didn't charge us for my panini. That was above and beyond. I was thrilled with our meal, he did not have to do that. Everyone working there is really friendly and we loved our meals. We will be back with frequency. Loved it. read more

Excellent wine selection, service and ambiance. Wish for better food option to include items served on fresh baguette vs toasted bread/panini. Deducting one star for food getting served on paper layered metal trays. read more

Excellent restaurant and great menu. Customer service is superb. They always make you feel welcomed. I highly recommend.

We drove 45 minutes from our home to check out Raven's View after we read it was voted the North Valley's best wine bar ; it didn't disappoint! My husband and I wanted to order a good amount of items, in part we were hungry but actually more compelling for us was checking out the menu offerings. We started with the pretzel appetizer which had a delicious stone ground mustard and a yummy cheese sauce ( really yummy! ) with it. It was hot and salty. Wow! Then we ordered the charcuterie board which we devoured. The grilled bread served with it was plentiful ( probably 8-9 generous pieces ) and we picked our way through that, accompanied by a carafe of red sangria. There's a happy hour deal for ( I think it's ) $25 for a large charcuterie board and a large carafe of sangria. Highly recommend! My husband ordered the brussel sprout salad and I ordered the highly touted crab cakes. Again both so yummy! The crab cakes are baked, not fried and they are lightly breaded. Two huge cakes along with a generous couple handfuls of greens. And the remoulade sauce was so nice. I ate less than 1/2 so I have nice leftovers! Apparently there's live music Th, Fri and Saturday evenings and on our Thursday evening there was a guitarist playing cover songs. Great vibe. Great addition to the atmosphere. I didn't even get to mention the spectacular 360 degree views. Or the 10 degree lower, more ideal temps at the venue ... We can't wait to go back! read more

If you like cheese (lots of yummy cheesy dishes) & great views this place is awesome! Cozy interior and large outdoor area are both nice to sit and enjoy. Highly recommend the French onion soup, the chicken sandwich, the artichoke dip...in fact you can't go wrong with anything here ;o) People are really nice too! read more

Pretty good. Service great Salad was nice. Chicken and salmon on salad was a little bland. All in all a great place and wine list looked cool. Nice blankets over seats which was a nice touch on a cool day. Went with my friend Captain Neuman who consumed 3 beers2 glasses of champagne , q white wine and 2 Pinots, Zinfandel all while reading the opps manual and doing an OIMS assessment. Very impressive. Love this place. read more

This place is awesome. The ambiance and location are second to none, food is incredible (the French onion soup is quite possibly the best anywhere), and value is off the charts. The staff is easy going and very attentive. This is a must! read more

First time here...recommended by a friend, loved it and have recommended to my friends. Nice wine and beer selection and small menu, but didn't disappoint. Had the yummy charcuterie board and the popular beef sandwich with awesome French onion soup. This is a diamond in the rough, off Cave Creek Road. They also had live music on the patio on weekend nights, it was a great way to spend a Saturday evening. Looking forward to going back. read more

JUST DO IT! No masks, no gloves, no social distancing, no temp check......just decent, happy, Americans trusting! Food 8 out of 10 (quality 10 presentation 8 - need to check before leaving the kitchen) Ambience 10 out of 10 Service 10 four of 10 read more

Prices are a little high but I guess you have the power of that when you're the only restaurant for miles. Deviled eggs- I'd give them a solid 2.5 out of 10, they were extremely cold, filling was hard, and tasted more like the inside of a fridge. Cubano Sandwich- super delicious, could use a little less time in the toaster Linda Bird Sandwich-Pesto and Mozzarella were amazing and working together beautifully...but again less time in the toaster would be awesome Kids Cheese Pizza- Cheese and Flatbread are an awesome combo, but the sauce was a little too strong, not saying "water" it down but let the tomato's do the work read more

A cute restaurant with great views and great ambiance. However there is room for improvement. * The music was very loud, so loud that we had to ask them to turn it down. * Another annoyance was, when we were still nibbling on our appetizers, the waitress asked if she could take our plates, and the remaining food, a couple people said yes, but 3-4 others didn't reply and/or weren't acknowledged. She went ahead and cleared the whole table. There were full pieces of cheese and meat still on the meat tray, and other random appetizers still on plates, definitely that could of stayed on the table. I was very surprised that she even asked the question since we were there for just drinks and appetizers. So weird. Why ask to remove food from a table where there's clearly people still eating? * Also, when the checks came and after we had all paid, while adding our tips on, the waitress comes to collect all the signed payment slips, interrupting us in the middle of our conversations. Most restaurants pick those up after the guest have left. By picking them up while we are still there made us feel rushed and hurried out the door. The restaurant was not busy, there were several tables available. * HEADS UP EVERYONE- they took away the HAPPY HOUR on the weekends. Making this place very expensive to come to compared to so many other great options in Cave Creek. read more

Good food and large portions. Menu is a bit limited but everything I've had has been good. Salads are large and very tasty. Big wine selection. A bit of a drive past the town of Cave Creek and past the Bartlett Lake turnoff. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this place! My boyfriend & I went here on Halloween & all of the staff was dressed up, which was awesome. We got to meet the owner, Kim. She was amazing & super involved & seemed to know almost all of her customers there! I don't even drink wine personally but ended up finding one I absolutely LOVED thanks to Thomas. All of the food was delicious. All of this on top of the great view the place has! The weather was perfect & they had the huge garage door opened up. We loved this place & will definitely be back with friends very soon! read more

Just moved to Phoenix and this is definitely my new favorite spot. Obsessed with this place. Views, service, food, wine, live music... what more could I ask for? My girlfriend and I came last night and shared a few appetizers and each had a glass of our favorite wine, The Prisoner. Still dreaming about the ahi tuna tartare. Made reservations to come back next week. Can't recommend enough :) read more

We LOVE Raven's View. Each time family or friends want to go out to eat, we go to Raven's View, even though it's a 30 minute drive from our house. It is absolutely worth the drive. Each time we go, I could describe the experience as "magical". The sunset and views from the restaurant are amazing (mountains near Cave Creek and private golf courses). It makes you feel like you're out in the middle of the wild west, but being taken care of really well. The service is great. The servers are super accommodating and they spread out the tables and follow COVID precautions. One of our times visiting we started on the patio but had more people join so they moved a big table from inside to the gravel on the outside so that they could accommodate our larger group. They also move heaters closer to you if needed. The live music on Friday's and Saturday's is the perfect accompaniment to the Happy Hour deals (everyday). The deals are unbeatable. My favorite things to order are the $25 bottle and board on Happy Hour, $5 french onion cup of soup on HH, and the Tuna Tartare. But I have never had something I didn't like at Raven's View! read more

The first time we went here it was on a Monday for a birthday. We met the owner/manager and her grandbaby plus some of the regulars. They were very nice people. Service, food, environment, it was all amazing. Today, opposite experience. Service was so slow we had to ask the bar for drinks. Bartender was snappy and unpleasant giving off the vibe she didn't want to help or be friendly. My salad had hardly any chicken in it. We will give this place another try again at some point but what a disappointment today was. read more

The food was tasty. We had panini and pizza. We enjoyed our dinner outside with music being played by a guitarist. I was confused by the number of staff members who served our table. I wish the first to take our order also delivered our bill so we could be assured that she got her tip. read more

Don't believe they're lies, it says they're open until 10:00PM they they actually close at 9:00PM according to the lazy staff. Don't lie on the internet if you don't want to work that late. read more
