Cielo

The restaurant itself is beautiful, we were fortunate enough to sit outside and enjoy the sunset. The food was delicious, we had the half chicken, salmon and brisket burger. What was the best part of our experience was hands down the service provided by HTET. He was very attentive and validated our feelings about the dining experience. A simple calling us by our name did not go unnoticed. His service alone is enough to come back.

I was there for business dinners 2 nights in a row. This high end restaurant is located in the Marriott ADERO Autograph Collection Scottsdale hotel. On the first night, I had the salmon dinner along with Caesar Salad with anchovies. It was one of the best salads ever. They provided more anchovies than I could have imagined. The service was a bit slow as it took over 2 hrs from start to finish. The salmon was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Not too pricey compared to other items on the menu. You can order the Tomahawk for 2 special at $195 which is pretty much all inclusive of appetizer and dessert. On the second night, we had much better service. Lets just say the first night was 3.5 stars and second night was 5 stars. They have seating indoors as well as outdoors and we chose inside based on the weather. For my second night, I ordered the white wine pear salad. I highly recommend that as well. The Chilean Sea Bass was quite pricey as is most of the food and drinks. At $52 per plate, they do provide a very large portion. It was probably the best fish I ever had. Moist, tender and very flavorful. The drinks are good, but not great. I had a Bombay Sapphire martini which was $19 and probably had 1 shot of gin in it. No blue cheese olives either. The Cielo Pork Belly Brussels for $17 were definitely plentiful and delicious. A Piggy Back Old Fashioned was even more pricey at $22 per cocktail. You can pay for valet parking or if you don't mind the uphill walk, park with the hotel patrons for no cost. With drinks, apps and dinner for 4, cost was over $400. We fortunately got the chocolate lava cake on them since it had no lava. This is a great restaurant if you want to show off to a customer or friends/family.

Five stars for the view. Three stars for the walk up the hill if you decide to park your own car. Three stars for the food selection available for lunch and for our server. We had to flag down two other servers during our lunch to get a refill and and extra plate. The tacos were good, the burger was undercooked. Fries were okay and, as mentioned, there are not a ton of choices for lunch, so you may not find something you really want. I am sure they have a bigger menu for dinner so that might be the best time to go. They also have telescopes in the lobby so you can star gaze at night. I tried to use one to look at the valley but I guess my telescope skills have fallen off since I last used one in grade school.It's a nice drive up to the resort, valet parking and self parking is available. It's right inside the front door so easy to get to. Has indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating area has a sliding glass wall that can be opened for very nice, non-windy, mild temperature days. We did enjoy our time there, just not the lunch. Hope you find something you will like and...enjoy!!!

Great food and friendly customer service. We like to eat dinner here for date nights as we travel for work to AZ and stay at the Marriott. Lunch menu is limited, wish they would expand. We love bar service, bar tenders are awesome!

This is a fantastic restaurant with stunning views of the valley. Great service and excellent food.Simple menu with something for everyone. I would love to come back and try their lunch and dinner someday!

What great little find...great views, great decor, great food for lunch & FIRST CLASS service with a smile.The views itself will take your breath away.Great place to take clients, a date or to grab a bite alone. The Cielo is located in a nice hotel, The Adero. There's plenty of parking or valet parking & the staff is friendly, helpful, kind & always smiling. My salmon salad was delicious.I AM looking forward to lunch again at the Cielo to definitely try some other dishes on there menu. Their menu is simple & good healthy eating. Cielo also has a full bar if you'd like a fancy drink, beer or a glass of wine. Prices were reasonable for lunch. Did I mention I can't wait to have lunch there again :) Or maybe dinner. The address says Scottsdale but it's actually in Fountain Hills Az, which has beautiful views.

Environment: outstanding and pretty. You could dress up to sit on the outdoor patio or keep it casual, like a lot of hotel patrons did.Service: kind and professional.Food: elevated American food. I got the burger and my baby got the chicken fingers. The burger was a standard one that you get at a sports bar. Hit the spot, but I'm not sure it was worth the price. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, unless you're really set on checking out the view. I think this review would have been four stars had I not gotten dessert. I ordered the coffee gelato and it was so bad that I could not even finish it. It tasted like a vegan knockoff brand that you'd get at a gas station. I took a few bites and I just stopped. I'm surprised they are serving such poor quality dessert at such a nice place.

Our experience was fabulous for food and view. I believe all was overpriced. Joey was a fantastic. We ordered fish, lamb, short rib and a filet, all cooked perfect. Tried the green chili corn chowder, a lot of corn, no green chilies, I make much better!I WOULD RECOMMEND

So. This is why I need a half star - it's a solid 2.5 stars. It's got a great outdoor patio and the view is incredible. Parking is fine, and the drinks were good. The food was pretty hit or miss, and service was just okay. We came here for lunch after a hike, and we were hungry, and maybe hoping for more than we got. We got a few apps, and while the flatbread was okay, we also got chips, guac, and queso. They left much to be desired. My dining companions were more colorful than I, but they had some pretty apt descriptions. The queso was of "throwey uppey" consistency, it was like "grocery store guac" in taste and consistency, and the chips were "restaurant style bagged chips that you could buy at the grocery store." Overall, not impressive. However, our entrees fared better: I had the adult grilled cheese, add chicken, which ended up being a worthwhile addition. The Ahi wedge salad had a solid fish, but the salad part was nothing special. The burgers were good, but the fries were just okay. The service was fine but the kitchen was a hot mess - all our food came out at separate times. The chicken sandwiches were so late, most of us were done eating before they got their food. We also ordered a separate order of fries that never came, which turned out to be a blessing since they weren't all that great anyway. We went there for the views, and it was worth that. However, for food, I know there are better places in the area.

The restaurant itself is really nice. View is beautiful especially at sunset. However the food was just okay, definitely overpriced for flavor.
