text: This restaurant is stars for the view alone which is what everyone else has mentioned but the food and service are excellent too The other night my girlfriend and I went back for the first time since the amazing Yelp event earlier in the year We started the night off with a drink at sunset on the outdoor patio overlooking most of Phoenix Then we headed inside for our dinner and the manager greeted us with a Thank you for coming back to Different Pointe of View which I thought was a nice touch I assume he knew we were returning since I mentioned we had a card for a free bottle of sparkling wine when I made the reservations weeks before nnWe were seated inside near the window and our waiter was very friendly and attentive Our bottle of Champagne was presented to us to start the night and we placed our food orders We decided to split the Braised Duck Ravioli and the Pan Seared Diver Scallops There were two raviolis and two scallops per order and we felt both dishes great choices The scallops were some of the best I have ever had nnFor our main course we each ordered the Grilled Cedar River Filet Mignon The perfectly prepared tenderloin steak was accompanied with horseradish crust Swiss chard roasted fingerling potatoes smoked apple wood bacon chives Crueme Fraiche and port wine pomegranate reduction No I did not memorize all of that of course I retyped it from the menunnFor dessert we split the Classic Tahitian Vanilla Bean Crueme Brulee all desserts It was delicious but rather small and did not quite satisfy my sweet tooth The buttercream blue cheese cookie and fresh strawberries were a nice addition but even with those it was too small a dish nnOverall I recommend you stop in and have dinner and drinks at Different Pointe of View It has been one of my favorite Phoenix restaurants for many years It is a perfect place for locals and out of town visitors alike My only recommendations for improvements would be to add a server or two to the outside patio bar area since it tends to be slow on busy evenings Also I think the names for some of their dishes are a bit much and could be shortened
