My friend and I decided to give this place a try. We sat down and almost immediately were asked what we would like to drink. So far so good, right? We were undecided so asked for water to start. A couple came in a few minutes after us and before we received our water they were provided water and a tasting of a wine they wanted to consider. We waited a couple more minutes and finally had to ask for water again. We ordered a meat and cheese board with a bottle of conundrum sparkling rose'. The board was small for the price point. Ingredients were fresh but the presentation was lacking. I realize the quality and taste is important but amount of items provided is also important. We think it's important to give feedback so thoughts of others can be considered for future menu decisions. Especially from a customer perspective. The owner/chef was clearly unwelcoming of any comments or outside opinions. That's fine, it's her wine bar, but we have also made our choice to not return. read more

Went for wine and appetizers last night, now under new ownership. Sat outside with a nice cool breeze couldn't believe that it wasn't to hot. Great selection of wines. The menu was really good. We had an appetizer and split the Rustic panini sandwich, the food was really really good. This might be my new go to place! It was just what I was looking for, a nice glass of wine and a light meal. They had lots of vegetarian and vegan items on the menu and even though I am neither I do enjoy that type food. read more

1/2 off bottles of wine under $100 on Mondays! Great service- Lana was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Will be back!

This is a really cool, casual spot. The food was good and the wine selection was nice. We had an enjoyable lunch in a lovely atmosphere.

ok food, slow service, lowest option I saw was a 20 percent tip...and really unhealthy restroom setup, where you have to exit the restroom to then wash your hands in a separate area! read more

Probably need to reevaluate the live music on display. I've never experienced a band that is able to take almost every happy song and turn it into a sad-sack version for your listening displeasure. Great food, restaurant, location and staff but the music gets a very limp 1 out of 5. read more

Although it's a nice atmosphere the food is not great! The hummus is probably the best thing on the menu and comes with a mixed greens on the plate. However, the flatbreads are saturated with a sweet drizzle of whatever trying to make it look fancy and tastes awful. Why would you sweeten a margarita style flat bread that should taste like a pizza...the other flat bread we ordered had the same sweet stuff all over it. It's just not that good. I would recommend it for a cocktail and the live music but grab lunch or dinner somewhere else... read more

Great sangria both red and white. Awesome wine selections and delicious salads. Outdoor seating is scenic.

Food is fantastic! From the hummus, to the panini's, to the alcohol selection, everything is what I want from a restaurant. Staff are always friendly and just seem happy to be there. Some items are a little pricy but given the location of the restaurant it's understandable. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this gem after our hike and I'm so glad we did! This is the cutest local spot with amazing views. The service was impeccable, it is very dog friendly, and the food/drinks were delicious. We will definitely be returning soon. read more

We had a fantastic sunset dinner with friends. Covid safety in place. Friendly staff, great food

Just made our first visit since the new ownership......it's wonderful! Beautiful drive out and same fabulous views but better hours and menu. We had brunch......food was hot and delicious.....presentation and service top notch. Will definitely return! read more

Wonderful restaurant / wine bar with pleasant atmosphere and views. Its a pleasant drive out Cave Creek Road too. Outside dining and posts music on Sat and Mon nites. Have been here for lunch and trying dinner this weekend. All safety precautions adhered to. Food is good and happy hour 3-6pm with small plates offered. Salads good too. Beef dip awesome. read more

I have been here many times and it's a great place to have a glass of wine and a snack.

Finally made it to this place that we have been so excited about visiting. Everyone around us got their food long before us and seated after us by almost 20 minutes. Bartender offered nothing for our bad first experience. Not at happy place or experience. Steve Dowling read more

Overheard a recommendation of this place at an outdoor lunch in Cave Creek and decided we would try it out later in the day. Smaller place with locals and others. Sat at a table outside on the desert with lots of space between tables. We enjoyed sangrias with a charcuterie board on the Happy Hour menu. Everything was wonderful including the service and the unexpected live music on the deck. Clean modern restrooms just inside of the front door. Ample parking. read more

I'm not one to write bad reviews but I believe I have been to this place enough time and given it enough chances to make my voice be heard by hopefully management or ownership in this wonderful venue. The help at this place is seriously not nice. They make you feel inconvenienced at all times. It's not all of them but a select few. The cook should never ever come out and tell a customer their thoughts and very emotional opinions when he feels the girl he is dating (the bartender) is taking heat for something she actually created. If this were my business both of these people would immediately be fired. As a small business owner I believe we have to support each other. If management thinks it's important to their business I would hope to have them reach out to me for details. This is the 4th time I've had employee issues. The sad thing is I wasn't being mean or rude. The clientele in the bar all witnessed this situation and 100% the employees were completely unprofessional. I hope I hear from someone on this as I live in this neighborhood and would like to feel comfortable here again. read more

WOW!! First off the views are absolutely stunning at sunset. This is such a cute hidden gem in cave creek. The owners are super friendly and the food and drinks are great as well! Definitely recommend this place! read more

I happened to see that Raven's View was under new ownership--we were excited to check it out!! We live nearby and were very disappointed in our first visit last year. So! This evening we jumped at the chance to give the new owners a chance. We are thrilled to say the new owners get an A+!!! Our waitress Tristen was so welcoming and sweet plus let us know about their happy hour!! Happy hour $5 glass of wine plus some great food!! The meatballs are amazing add with the margarita flatbread. It was too much food for us but we were happy to take some home ;) Looking forward to our next visit!! They are open 7 days a week and new hours!! read more

As a vegetarian, I'm always looking for places that have more than one option for me, and Raven's View didn't disappoint! We started with the pretzel appetizer, served with mustard and beer cheese, which was delicious! I was hesitant to order the caprese salad because I usually find that the tomatoes are mushy or bitter. I was shocked when I cut into the tomatoes that had the perfect firmness and the right amount of crunch. The only place that I have found, outside of Italy itself, with the perfect tomatoes and the perfect ingredient ratio is right here. While it's not a completely filling dish, it is a perfectly light lunch or dinner without feeling like I need more to eat. My husband had the Cubano, which he loved as well. It is a bit of a drive from our home in Cave Creek, but it is well worth it. It's a tiny place so if you think you might get in without a wait, you better think again. They have a nice patio and each chair has a blanket, in case you need it, which I think is such a nice touch. read more

First time at Raven's View last night. We enjoyed a bottle of wine, amazing food and stellar service. We want to go back to try something else on the menu before we leave. Perfect place to relax, enjoy the view and fill your belly. read more

We'd been to Raven's View a few times. We made reservations for lunch and were seated immediately. However, after being seated, we were asked to vacate the table as it was reserved for someone else. All outside tables are similar and I found this request very unprofessional. Won't be going back...... read more

the most fun place ever. great wine. good food treats music and excellent service. We always have a fun time.

A neighborhood hidden gem. Great food, a wonderful menu for wine and cocktails. Great service!

Just a great place! Beautiful setting and yummy food! A friendly welcoming atmosphere and one of the best Cubana sandwich's I've ever had! Sitting outside or carry out all great options! Just a great place! read more

Really great service, people are nice. Food pretty good, it's an upscale type sandwich/salad place but they have some entrees too. I'll be back. read more

We found this place by accident, on a scenic drive by. And boy are we happy we did! Not only is he place cool, relaxed, and full of good vibes, the owners are particularly friendly, approachable and attentive. We had the very unexpected opportunity to see many mule deer come by too! read more

Where do I start?? Lana, thank you for making our day great! flight selections, food quality, all fantastic. However, YOU are the reason we would come back! Thank you, your sincerity is appreciated. Wish this place was closer... great views, great atmosphere. :-) read more

My husband and I went there last night for a date night. We had an amazing experience! We reserved a table and when we arrived our table had a cute little sign on it with our name. We both started off with wine and a couple appetizers (pretzels and jalapeño corn dip). Everything was excellent! We decided to split the meatballs and gnocchi for our main dish. Again, both amazing! Service was great all night. We loved the atmosphere of the place. The cherry on top was the live music that they had last night. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for a great night out! read more

Good from afar but far from good. Place is beautiful but owner is very unfriendly and seemed to be overwhelmed. With so many dining options in Cave Creek and this place being REALLY out of the way they should make every guest feel welcome. I will not return. To comment on your rant below. I was not part of the large party that you tore apart. This is a perfect example of why any success with your business will be short lived. I support local business all the time but they actually appreciate it. I also see that you revised your previous comment. So allow me to repost it so everyone can see how you treat your customers. Please see photos for the original comment. read more

I love it! We have a beautiful wine bar in the far north area, woohoo. The location is pretty north, just a little bit more than the turn off to Bartlett Lake. The outside patio is nice, it would be super enjoyable during the beautiful evenings in the fall, winter and spring. The wine list is not very large, but they have enough to choose from. I had a couple of glasses of the Malbec, it was very smooth. My husband had the Pinot Gris. We also ordered Linda's board, 3 cheeses and a couple of meats plus accompaniments. After we decided to share a pressed Prosciutto and Fig sandwich, it was very tasty. I can't wait to come back with some friends who live in the area. read more

Great friendly staff thank you Lacey for your warm welcome and for taking such good care of me and Beau my Weimaraner. I very much enjoyed the serenity and peaceful setting of Raven's view, a welcome oasis with a great varied menu. I had the Cubano which was very good and a cup of the French onion soup which was very tasty and last but not least an awesome lemon tart. My bill excluding tip was $34 which isn't exactly cheap however the quality of the food was very good and the staff and other patrons were very friendly and welcoming ! read more

What a fun place to hang out! Interesting food and lots of beers from which to choose. Awesome waitstaff!

What an incredible surprise in the middle of the desert! I can't say enough about this little gem. Beautiful views, delicious food and amazing wine. Cameron, our bartender, went above and beyond. This will be our new go-to spot especially when we want to feel like a getaway, but it's literally in our back yard. read more

Great place for cyclists to get refreshed. After climbing to the towers this place is perfect for a quick break, coffee good food and Gatorade. We will be back. Great service read more
