Best Farm To Table 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.

Second time here and the honeymoon is not over. This place is awesome… the food, cocktails, mid century vibe, and service… all on point. What a gem. Going back soon.

We celebrated our 32nd Wedding anniversary, and as usual, the experience at Elements was outstanding. Our server was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful without being intrusive. The ambiance and surroundings are superb. Our starters and entrees were exceptional, and the chef's anniversary dessert was out of this world. Overall, a 5-Star experience. My only complaint- and this is about almost every restaurant we've patronized lately- was the inappropriate music selection--much too contemporary and improper for a fine dining experience. Please use simple background jazz at a lower volume. Your guests will appreciate it!

The Ends is an incredible restaurant. I love that they don’t use any seed oils and instead focus on cooking with tallow. The food is amazing, and I think their pasta is better than any Italian restaurant here in the Valley. I know everyone says this, but the Cacio e Pepe is definitely something to write home about. It’s really, really good. Almost equivalent to the one I had at Osteria Da Fortunata in Rome. The thick noodles and sauce are very similar. Absolutely delicious. We also had the mushroom pasta, meatballs, Hamachi crudo, and beet burrata. All excellent. The only downside was that they were out of multiple dishes, which was a bit disappointing. However, they made it up to us by giving us a $45 gift card, which we appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

This was our second time having a meal here because we enjoyed our lunch so much and saw many other intriguing items on the menu we wanted to try. Four of us had dinner last evening and again were delighted! We all enjoyed our starters, drinks & entrees! The portions are generous and well-presented. And to top it off, we had excellent service from Bailey! She is professional, attentive and very friendly! We enjoyed the recommendations she gave us for the starters for happy hour too. I’m still thinking about those dumplings and roasted brussel sprouts!
