There is a whole lot of lovely to celebrate in the Valley–and these local restaurants each celebrate local views, whether they be desert or twinkling city lights.
In the foothills of Pinnacle Peak, Talavera restaurant at Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North showcases desert vistas (the patio is the best spot to take in views) and an amazing menu of meat or seafood.

The views at this Phoenix resort restaurant are so memorable, the name reflects the views.
