New American Restaurants near Cave Creek, AZ

“Buttermilk pancakes are very good“

“Great good! Emma was the Best! Great live music, listening to Arizona Ave.“

“Food was great and so was the service“

“Even without sampling the food on this latest visit, it’s clear why this place remains one of the area’s most consistently buzzing destinations. The energy alone tells the story—tables filled, glasses clinking, and a steady rhythm of conversation that signals a spot beloved by locals and visitors alike. The drinks program continues to impress. Wines are well-selected, offering both dependable varietals and intriguing pours for those who enjoy exploring beyond the usual. Cocktails are balanced and thoughtfully executed—nothing overwrought, just smartly made and enjoyable. Service matches the standard: efficient, friendly, and tuned in without hovering. The only recurring frustration lies in the seating—finding a comfortable spot, especially with a party larger than two, can feel like winning a small lottery. Still, once seated, it’s easy to see why so many linger well into the evening. Bottom Line: A go-to destination for happy hour and casual wine gatherings. Excellent drinks, a convivial crowd, and lively ambiance—just be prepared to wait a bit for that perfect table. Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) – Exceptional drinks and atmosphere; minor seating woes keep it from perfection.“

“The location on Highway 6 was Awesome, my drive thru server was Cody. He was Awesome, professional, funny and got my order down to a tee. Come on down to the best Taco place in Sugar Land Tx.. #1 Customer Dee“

“Lovely cafe! The fireplace adds to the beautiful ambience!“

“Outstanding! Course was very well maintained! Played well!“

“The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious food. We really enjoyed the burger and fries and the sea bass ceviche, but everything was wonderful…especially for a poolside restaurant (it’s rare to find one that offers good, fresh sushi options!). And the drinks were delicious.

Ricardo delivered our food and he was completely lovely, attentive, and professional (I wish he was our server!).

Blake/Drake (?) the pool attendant was wonderful - very pleasant and helpful.“

“This is one of my favorite locations to watch the sun set with vibrant desert colors while enjoying a charcuterie and queso board with a specialty cocktail or a glass of wine. Seating on the terrace is recommended, although there are high tops along the bar, and comfy seating by the fireplace for those cool desert nights.“

“We came in with a party of 6. The lamb was amazing. London, our server, was even better! She was very friendly, very attentive, and she did everything right. She was the highlight of our night and we will definitely recommend this place and be back.“

“While staying at The Boulders we tried Palo Verde twice once for dinner and once for breakfast. My breakfast experience was ok. My latte and meal were good. The server was attentive and friendly. Dinner on the other hand was entirely different experience. Our food took forever to get, and they were not busy. The waiters seemed confused about were people's food went once it came out. We saw a family of five be seated, the father got up to get their own menus after a while. They eventually walked out. It was to cold to sit outside for us, but they say the views are nice on the patio. When we return the Boulders we may eat breakfast at Palo Verde but will skip dinner there.“
