Editorial Review for Different Pointe of View at Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Cable-mounted halogen lighting mingles with spectacular city-light views to make this spot an awe-inspiring constant. Downstairs, live jazz helps diners dance off the calories into the wee hours. The best way to experience it is with one of the two tasting-menu options--a five-course, pre-selected feast or a chef's-choice journey. Those with adventurous appetites could try La Belle Farms foie gras with cinnamon gelato.

The view here is spectacular, but this has got to be one of the most overrated places we have ever eaten at in terms of the actual food. I am a vegetarian and my husband is a meat eater. When we arrived, there was one vegetarian meal on the menu and we were told that unlike what citysearch states regarding the kitchen encourages asking for something different, we were told they don't do that there. And the place was not even busy the night we were there. Maybe 2 or 3 tables on the inside and eating outside there were 2 or 3 tables with people at them as well. So there wasn't even the issue of being a super busy night. Both my vegetarian meal and my husband's were incredibly salty. We couldn't even taste the actual food. All we tasted was salt. If you want to go there for a spectacular view, go and order drinks. But I wouldn't eat there again. Very disappointing.

I've been here twice so far, and it is hands-down my favorite restaurant in Arizona! The service is amazing, and the food is just incredible. The whole dining experience is well worth the cost. On both visits, Chef Flowers created a special vegetarian dish for me that was out of this world, and he personally came to the table to greet us and ask about our food preferences. He is a magician in the kitchen, and my hypersensitive tastebuds truly appreciate his culinary talent.
