Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Fountain Hills / Rio Verde

First time visit for me and my guests. It was an excellent choice for my annual holiday dinner. The food was amazing. The service was great. I would recommend this restaurant. We will be back.

Ate dinner outside. The most comfortable chairs ever. Maybe the same indoors, but I have no knowledge of that. Also, a lot quieter, naturally. Our server was extremely helpful. No rushing. The food was great: we had shishito peppers and clams for starters, then the trout and the branzino. My husband liked my branzino better than his trout, just because it was almandine and he felt it an unnecessary coating. Then, great flourless chocolate dessert. Drink were good goo. Would return without a doubt because the menu had so many offerings, it would be great to try them all.

A great place to come and get some premium cocktails and spirits. I recommend a reservation for groups of 4 or more or during high traffic hours, but its worth it!

As with our past dining experiences at Virtu Honest Craft, everything was perfect. The Asparagi was a beautiful plate, perfectly prepared and with outstanding combination of ingredients. This is definitely a go-to option on forthcoming visits. Our entree was the Bistecca Tagliata for two. A 40oz tomahawk ribeye with an arugula salad. Absolutely delicious. We chose a Sangiovese wine to accompany our food choices. The service was impeccable. Even though this restaurant is nearly an hour away from our home, it is well worth the drive, and we plan to return soon.

The staff could not have been more attentive. Since it was our first visit we were served a glass of champagne to start. My husband had the seared scallops.which was excellent. I ordered side dishes soup and crab cakes both were delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.
