    Overall very disappointed in service, as a frequent fine diner we felt this was not on par. From walking in to police and an incident that threw the whole service off, kitchen having to keep saying we messed up tickets, to servers not even checking in with us at our table. Food was delicious but service need not meet the quality. Overall dissapointed

    In short, this was our first experience here and it was simply perfect. My wife was having her birthday with family and everyone loved it. Steak, pasta, fish, bread and bone marrow were perfect. Drinks were spot on and wine was something we’re going to look for. Daxton was the best and highly attentive. We recommend this place with 5 stars!

    We always enjoy eating at Different Pointe of View. This was where I proposed to my wife and I wanted to enjoy our 40th anniversary as well. The waiter was pleasant and attentive. Our food was cooked to perfection and paired with a delightful wine. We ate late so the noise was very low and the view of the city exquisite. As with everything today, the pricing was a bit high but not outrageous. We look forward to our next dining experience at the Different Pointe of View.

    Had the opportunity to take my daughter, her husband and their French foreign exchange student to dinner with my wife and I. All three are vegetarian while my wife and I are not. Everyone was able to find exceptional dishes that exceeded their expectations. This has become one of our favorite restaurants in Phoenix and its proximity to Sky Harbor makes for a great place to take folks from out of town when arriving in the late afternoon or early evening. Never disappoints

    Excellent, from start to finish, wonderful experience. A culinary delight. On arrival Caleb greeted us, escorted us to our table, He was very personable, friendly and professional. We had a lovely waitress, Kristin , she was ever so helpful with our selections. Starting off with a delectable starter for first timers. Delivered by the GM Heather, she also took time to check back with us. Making sure everything was to our satisfaction. It’s obvious the CHEF takes great satisfaction in the food at this restaurant. And he delivers, everything was delicious, beyond my expectations. I will definitely return. Thank you Rusconi’s
