Happy to share that Different Pointe of View is still consistently a premiere choice! Had yet another really wonderful dinner here. This is truly as good as it gets for dinner on this side of town: amazing views (day and night), stellar A+ service, and a refined menu that has just the right amount of options with some variety but thoughtfully curated by their chef and team. I can't sing their praises enough. This is THE spot I bring someone from out of town to show off the Valley. It's top notch. Let's get into the food: everything very very well prepared and delicious (as expected). Parmesan black pepper gnocchi: delicate texture and really solid flavors all around. Had us dipping our bread in to enjoy every last bite! Prickly pear miso glazed Icelandic salmon: light but memorable ponzu, tender and juicy cook, and the black sesame bamboo rice was a great pairing. Aged prime New York strip: perfectly medium rare. A great cut. Decadent Boursin potato cake paired very well with it. Overall, this is still a 10/10 for me. Tip: you need to book a reservation. Don't bank on there being a table and just showing up. It's a very popular spot that does often fill up, or also book out for private events. Don't miss the chance to come here!! read more

Came here for my birthday and had the best meal I've ever had in my life. Our server was incredible and the ambiance was unmatched. We had the best seat in the house! Unfortunately there was a major ~haboob~ covering the city so we couldn't see much but amazing nonetheless. The gnocchi was so incredible we were wishing there was more. The bread tasted extremely fresh and the pesto dip it came with was yummy. I ordered the filet with potatoes and it quite literally melted in my mouth. Plated so well too. I don't even know what else to say about it. It was perfect. My partner ordered the NY strip and his was delicious as well and the Boursin potato cake was so unique and tasty. Drinks were great too. All around everything was just perfect. If I ever find myself on death row this would be my last meal. We will absolutely be back! read more

Loved everything about this restaurant, except that there was a private event going on at sunset when we were there! We will have to return when the patio is open! I booked a reservation for my parents' anniversary and we got beautiful sunset photos before our dinner arrived. My folks loved everything from the ambiance to the high quality food and warm welcoming service. I had the freshest fish entree, prepared perfectly. I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone celebrating something and wanting to try a great restaurant with an equally incredible view. read more

Glad we made reservations in advance to get at the top of this mountain. Wow the food and views were amazing!! I would highly recommend eating at this restaurant if you are in the area or stay at the Hilton Hotel. It's very steep coming up so be sure to drive or have a go-kart. I would definitely come back! read more

Ate here twice over the Labor Day weekend. I recommend going before dark to see the amazing view. Our first night we ate here it was dark and the view is amazing but seeing it light outside was even more spectacular I thought. The staff are great and took great care of us. The bar is awesome and the outside area to sit and enjoy the views is second to none. I had the Filet (which was cooked exactly how I asked for it) was very tender and mouth watering. It came with mashed potatoes and asparagus, both were excellent. My wife had Gnocchi and Truffle mashed potatoes as well as the Kale salad. She loved it! read more

Beautiful restaurant located in a beautiful location. Old restaurant but well maintained, huge with plenty of seating indoor and outdoor on multiple locations. Service is friendly, polite, professional and attentive. The menu is simple but has something for everyone. Everything we had was wonderful, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. This is an amazing restaurant for a special event or just a great meal. read more

This was such a huge positive surprise. What a great restaurant and not even because of the amazing view. The service is top notch and so professional. We stayed at the hotel/resort and it was kinda rough around the edges...so were wondering what the dining here would be. Completely not at all like the hotel/resort...this is a very elegant, professional, unrushed dining experience. Highly recommend for the most memorable meal. read more

The view was OUTSTANDING! It's a beautiful place to enjoy drinks and take in the scenery. Unfortunately, the service outside was not great and at times felt a little rude. We also came in for dinner, and while the service was nice, the food was average to below average. The biggest disappointment, though, was the lack of acknowledgment when our daughter got engaged. She was proposed to while we were there, and we were really hoping the restaurant would help make the moment feel special. Unfortunately, there was no reaction or celebration from the staff, which was disappointing given the significance of the occasion. Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping by for the view and drinks, but our dinner experience left a lot to be desired. read more

Outstanding experience here! The views are just phenomenal and the facility is gorgeous. The staff were all very attentive and efficient, and our server Ian was competent and friendly. The pre-meal bread basket with its accompanying sides was outstanding, especially the focaccia bread paired with goat cheese. Our entrees were all very good, if you are steak lovers like we are we favored the filet over the NY strip. Definitely a great choice for a special occasion! read more

Love coming back to this place for the great service and high quality food, and the view is incredible. read more

We had an absolutely incredible experience at Different Pointe of View. The panoramic views of Phoenix are stunning and the exceptional food and top-tier service from Ian (with Andrew) made the night truly special. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. It was the perfect setting for a memorable evening. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a world-class dining experience in Phoenix! read more

Amazing views, great food, and impeccable service. Our server (Nick?) really could not have been better. My daughter's steak (ordered medium) was pretty close to well done, and he didn't even ask if she wanted another one, he just took care of it immediately and said he'd have another steak out for her right away. The fried rice egg appetizer was fantastic. The Caesar salad was just okay -- way too much dressing. I got the mussels with smoked salmon as my entree, and it was fine. I'd give the food quality a 4/5, but the ambiance & service definitely make it a 5 overall. read more

My son and I arrived from NY the day we went to the restaurant. Upon driving up the hill, it's such a beautiful view. At the time we arrived, there was a sunset that was breathtaking. Besides the ambiance being such a takeaway, the restaurant staff were above and beyond. The food was incredible. My son and I loved it! If we return to Arizona, we will definitely return here. read more

Had some issues at the front desk, our reservation I made on open table didn't pop up. Which is weird because I paid $30. Not sure how that happened or works! Never had to pay for reservations.. that I know of. Anywho, Richard was our server. We asked to be seated with a view and it was beautiful, right at a window! Richard was friendly! He also offered to take our photos outside. He made the experience good. Food was yummy! I ordered the chefs special and he order the NY strip! Both cooked to perfection. We loved the Tiger Shrimp app - tasted fresh which is rare when you order seafood in the desert. Looked at the dessert menu but we were too full. Lots of great photo ops on each floor. We would come back! read more

Impeccable! From the view, to the food, to the service, Different Pointe of view is the best of the best. This is a Phoenix institution and if you have not been, you must go. If you're looking to take someone to a place to impress them, this is the way to do it. I was there for a work dinner and we opted to order a variety of items and go family style. I'm so glad we did because we got to try a large portion of the menu and everything was absolutely delicious! See photos for the menu and food. When you go, time it so you can have a sunset drink on the patio before dinner. You will not regret it! read more

It would get a usual 5 but the started this valet and it's annoying because I use to be able to park in the front with no problem now I have to park further and it's on a slant so in dress shoes it's slippery. They need to go back to self parking or put valet in the back. read more

Different Pointe of View (DPOV) is hands down the BEST view in all of Phoenix or Scottsdale!! Other restaurants come close, but none can top this mountain top view and the sunsets! Just driving up to the restaurant parking lot makes you realize how high up you are. Make a reservation to arrive before sunset so you get to enjoy the view in the daylight, then sunset, and then night sky. DPOV has a romantic ambiance. It's great for special occasions. They bring you complimentary bread with a side of three spreads. I love their lobster bisque and their crab cake. I've ordered their scallops more than once, they are delicious and cooked perfect! I've also had their pan seared Chilean Seabass, yum! The View is the Star of the show but the food is for sure the supporting actor that also wins a role!! Add DPOV to your list! read more

Amazing views the service top notch. Our server Austin was very personable and knowledgeable. Austin gave great food selection advice. I stepped out of my comfort zone and had an amazing white pan seared fish. My husband had a filet with delicious mashed potatoes and asparagus. A very beautiful restaurant I give it 5 stars. We plan to return every year for my bday and our wedding anniversary. read more

Our server Nash seriously MADE our experience. He went above and beyond to take care of us. Giving us drinks to try, an appetizer and dessert. He was just amazing. So personable, funny and an overall AMAZING server. I definitely recommend asking for Nash to be your server if you come to this restaurant. The view was obviously amazing, food was great too! read more

Where do I start. This place is connected to the Hilton. Which is nice so that you get someone to drive you in the golf cart up to the door. One thing to remember is that you need to get reservations in advance. The hostess was helpful as she was able to get us a table with a great view. The table staff was funny and they were accommodating and they even took our picture outside with phoenix lights in the background. They provided 3 types bread and three types of dipping/butter. They all were delicious. I had the Brussels leaf salad. It's like a wedge salad but with Brussels sprouts leaves but tasted better. My steak was done perfectly and I enjoyed the lobster mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. My wife sea bass was done perfectly and she liked it a lot. Overall the food, staff and atmosphere was spot on that night. read more

Came in for anniversary dinner with my husband. Started off with a glass of wine downstairs before dinner. Stunning views from no matter where you are. Simple menu selection. We started with the 63 degree egg. Was very different but tasty. Fun starter! The bread & trio spread was very yummy, goat cheese one was my favorite! I ordered the chicken & my husband had the NY strip. We were both impressed. It was very yummy and big portions. the jalapeño cornbread that came with my chicken was a perfect pairing, light airy and tasty. The strawberry rhubarb whiskey sour deserves an honorable mention, very flavorful and refreshing. Our server brought out a little anniversary dessert for us at the end! I'd give 4.5/5... We got seated 15/20 min past our reservation time, that was really the inconvenience.. read more

Our server was amazing and the view phenomenal, I've had better steak at longhorn. The steak lacked flavor and was cold, even after asking for butter and salt I was underwhelmed. I know we could have sent it back but we had reservations for after dinner. read more

Ian, our Server was very polite, thorough and accommodating. Ian has been with Different Point of View for 20+ years, I witnessed him present a wine from a well known Winery from CA, he was "Spot On" in his presentation and sold the table a bottle of a great wine. He made our dining experience "Enjoyable"! His support staff were excellent, very attentive and polite. Drinks were phenomenal, Featured Cocktail was well balanced-tasty, Signature Old Fashion-Perfect-so smooth and refreshing. We had a 4 Course Pre-fix Menu for Thanksgiving. We had Squash Soup-Marvelous, Cauliflower Soup-Marvelous As Well-my wife's favorite! Harvest Salad was Super, Butternut Salad just okay Turkey Meal-was good Sea Bass-okay-cold when it arrived-we should have sent back but we didn't our bad! Sides: Mashed Potatoes needed more gravy, or more butter which Ian's Support Staff accommodated. Macaroni-okay Dressing-Very Interesting We love this restaurant, views are stupendous We will return read more

Hello! This review was long overdue! We visited this lovely restaurant late June. Right away, the view and ambiance was everything! The food was amazing and Nash, our waiter was outstanding and ensured we all were taken care of. Service 10/10. Wine selection is excellent and our wedding party had a great time. Until next time! read more

The ambiance is great and the views are stunning. However, the noise level did increase through the night as the restaurant filled up. The service was great and our servers were proactive. The restaurant was a little stuffy and our waiter brought us cold cloth napkins to cool off. A server accidentally dropped a starter dish of shrimp on my fiancée which resulted in both of us visiting the restrooms to freshen up while the staff cleaned the mess at our table. Despite the inconvenience, they did not comp us our shrimp, they simply replaced the shrimp dish and gave us a complementary gnocchi starter (which we did not order or necessarily want). The replacement shrimp dish was rushed out quickly and seemed to be undercooked as it was room temperature and very chewy. The drinks were good and the dinner was decent. Overall the dining experience was okay but for the price-point, I would not return again. read more

I booked reservations here for our anniversary & birthday dinner! We were seated immediately and was greeted by Richard! He was amazing and very attentive. We had a nice view but realized sitting by the door there is alot of foot traffic. We ordered the 63 egg fried rice for a starter and the taste was great but if texture of food throws you off I would avoid this one. The egg whites were too gelatinous for me and caused it to look strange. If it tastes good then just eat it, but man it was a mental challenge. I ordered the New York strip rare and it came with charred broccolini and a puck of potatoes. The steak was cooked different all over. I had some overcooked and undercooked parts. The broccolini tasted great but missed the char. The potato circle definitely needed some salt or sauces to accommodate the dryness and lack of seasoning. The mocktail "Winter Solstice" was delicious. The anniversary/birthday cake was not complimentary. Although he did through in some free chocolates at the end with the coffee. I definitely don't want anything for free but I am aware of the small things restaurants can do to make the evening more special. Top of the Rock was a better experience in this area. The food was disappointing but the ambience, the servers (especially the guy who recommended the bread and dipping sauces), and the views are really what gives this place the 4 stars for me. read more

Enjoyed dinner last year so much, that we returned for Christmas Eve this year. From entry to exit, service could not have been more gracious. Brother eating Keto, so had Steak &a salad. Shared mussel appetizer. Really delicious with bits of candied ginger in the sauce. Would have liked a larger portion, more mussels though. Bread basket was ... phenomenal! Steaks Large and perfectly cooked, tender and delicious filets. Potatoes Anna, not found often, were a treat of a side dish. View hasn't changed, still spectacular. Our servers were all exceptional! We have had consecutive excellence here, and look forward to another special occasion return. read more

Different Pointe of View - View from outside. - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First time at different pointe of view and such a lovely experience. It's definitely a dress nice type of restaurant as stated on their website. For our appetizers, we got Iberico Pork Belly and it was fantastic. Tender and well seasoned. Our main meal we got the salmon and the koji marinated hanger steak. We ordered medium for the steak and it was fantastic, tender and juicy with just enough pink. The steak came with a potato cake which was tasty. The salmon was also delicious, flaky and tender. Dessert was also marvelous, the summer panna cotta apparently is really popular so we decided to try it. All I have to say is, there was nothing left of the dessert before we left. Also got their margarita which I really liked. It was definitely spicy, sweet but strong. Apart from the food at different pointe of view, the view from the Terrance was breathtaking. We were able to take picture of the city, talk outside while waiting for our food, take pictures and watch the moon. It's definitely one of the sleeping points of this restaurant. Our service was great, all the waiters were attentive and our food was brought in a timely fashion. I'll definitely be back. read more

This is worth the trip to have drinks on the terrace and enjoy the view. The service was outstanding. The food was overpriced and nothing particularly special. With a group of 4 we shared the Caesar salad, gnocchi, Napa cabbage salad, the manzanilla salad, and the shrimp. It was all "ok" but not remarkable. Skip the food and enjoy the drinks and the view! read more

The ambiance was so beautiful The severe were so kind and so attentive they even went out and took picture of us for my special moment where I became a fiance. They give us champagne to celebrate on the house. They were like oh if you want pictures outside we'd be happy to help take them and I didn't know it was because my fiance had put it in the reservation. They were on top of things the food was delicious and very very intimate vibes. read more

The service here is not good. My mom and I came in around 8pm on a Tuesday night for dessert and had to wait 30 minutes after ordering our dessert just to be told that the one we wanted wasn't actually available. After ordering a different one, it took another 30 minutes for that one to be made and it was good, but not worth the wait. The portion was really small, too. Our waitress did not refill our waters at all. We ended up having to go up to the front to ask for our check because she was nowhere to be found. Another waitress handled the check while our original waitress was cleaning the silverware. The restaurant was not busy so the service really should have been better. The inside of the restaurant and rooftop is nice and gives a pretty view of the sunset and city skyline, but the actual building that the restaurant is in feels really outdated. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with this restaurant considering it's located at a nice hotel. I probably would not come back. read more
