Best Seasonal 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.

The filet was the best we have ever had in the Valley. Amber was a great server and Dennis's wine recommendation was spot on. Great Place!!! Can't wait to go back.

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.

The service was excellent. We were there on Valentine's Day and it was very busy. You would never have known that by the service we received. Gracie (apologies if I've misspelled her name) is awesome!!! The food was very good. We started with the prosciutto and burrata appetizer which was excellent. We loved how thinly the prosciutto was sliced. Our mains were the salmon and the wood rotisserie chicken. I think I got the better main (salmon); it was fresh and cooked perfectly. We finished this off with the key lime pie and coffee. The coffee was excellent and although the pie crust was very good, the filling was a bit too tart for my taste. We should have gone with Gracie's recommendation. As everything she recommended was excellent, including her wine choice for my salmon. The entire staff from the hosts to the busers were efficient, welcoming, and kind. I am so impressed by the team you have in place. Great job!

We had the most incredible dinner at Viola French Bistro last evening. There is nothing like the escargots there. We also had the Chevre et Saumon Fume as our other appetizer. So flavorful! We then both had La Choucroute for the main entree. It was a variety of seafood on sauerkraut with a Riesling sauce. Unbelievable to me, the sauerkraut was an excellent complement to the fresh seafood. Deserts were beyond our expectations. The staff was warm and welcoming. We have been to Paris several times and this restaurant exceeds any restaurant we have been to there. Can't wait to go back
