"Phoenix's longest-tenured AAA Four-Diamond room - chef Anthony DeMuro's New American tasting menu and a desert panorama, for a proposal or milestone night."
About Different Pointe of View
Different Pointe of View is the signature restaurant of the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort, set on a ridge at 11111 N 7th St in north Phoenix. It is the valley's longest-tenured AAA Four-Diamond award winner, a fixture for special-occasion dining built around floor-to-ceiling panoramas of the desert below. Executive chef Anthony DeMuro leads the kitchen and its kitchen team.
The cooking is contemporary New American with a Mediterranean lean. For more of the city's high-end tables, compare the French-Southwestern Vincent's on Camelback, the steak-and-glamour Maple & Ash and the long-running Tarbell's.

The Kitchen
The kitchen cooks contemporary New American with clear Mediterranean influences, and leans on a vegetable garden on the resort grounds for part of its produce. A seasonal dinner menu sits alongside a nightly tasting menu that changes through the evening, so the table is built for an unhurried, multi-course experience rather than a quick meal. Past plates have run from lobster bisque to seared scallops in a golden-raisin olive-oil emulsion, with refined seafood and meat preparations through the courses. Backing it is an award-winning cellar of more than 1,000 wines, all stored on site. Prices sit firmly at the top of the Phoenix range: this is a destination dinner, sold on the cooking, the cellar and the view together. Dinner runs Tuesday through Saturday in the evening.
The Room
The room is built around its setting. Perched on the cliffs above north Phoenix, it wraps diners in floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the desert and the city lights below, with service pitched to match the view. It sits within the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort off 7th Street, a short drive north of central Phoenix, with valet and resort parking. The panorama, the candlelight and the multi-course pacing make it a classic choice for a proposal, an anniversary or a milestone dinner, and the bar and lounge offer a lower-key way to take in the same view. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for window tables and weekend evenings.
Best for a Proposal
The cliffside windows, the candlelight and the multi-course tasting menu make Different Pointe of View a memorable proposal or anniversary dinner, and a polished room to impress clients when the view needs to do some of the work in Phoenix.
Not for
Not for a casual or budget night out - this is a top-of-range, multi-course resort restaurant built around a tasting menu and a cliffside view, best saved for a planned special occasion.
