Best Lunch Restaurants in Fountain Hills / Rio Verde

Very solid food and service. Second dinner of stay was A+. Server and hostess staff went above and beyond. Value at Cielo is excellent. Views stellar. We feel the menus are ‘cheap’ and encourage management to ‘up’ the quality of printing and formatting. Frankly they are hard to read and appear very amateurish. But…a small detail compared to the food and service. If someone steps in to handle all the fine details, Cielo could be a Valley gem not to miss.

One of my very favorite patios to eat at in Fountain Hills. Incredible views!!! Live music is good. Can still hold a conversation with your dinner guests. Plenty of heaters to keep you toasty warm. Food is good. I personally recommend the pork chop. Great experience all around.

Good good good price good service, what else is there

This restaurant is a real gym! They have a beautiful patio with lots of flowers, umbrellas, and space heaters for the chilly nights. We ate indoors in the adobe main building because of the morning rain storm that passed through earlier. It reminded me of many of the buildings in New Mexico, where I’m from. The furnishings and artwork inside were gorgeous. We ordered off the brunch menu and found some very creative selections. The service was outstanding and we are planning to return in about three weeks. :-)

The food was mostly excellent. I had the special and would go back again and again for the tenderloin in Molet sauce, mashed potatoes and veggies. Hoping they keep it on the menu! Scallops and the beef tip tacos were a hit with 2 in our group. Only thing that wasn’t as good was the chicken on a salad my brother ordered. He said the salad was delicious but the chicken had no flavor and it looked like it hadn’t been Mesquite grilled as worded in menu. So not sure what happened there. This restaurant is one of our favorites to bring our guests that come from all over US and will continue to be. We have had excellent meals many times over and love the atmosphere. Hostesses (thank you for the table we requested) are wonderful as well as all the wait staff. Would highly recommend!
