After several attempts to get into this local favorite, we finally got a mid day reservation and what a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting, of course the view is spectacular. But let’s talk about the real star, Nicole. What a warm, friendly and funny person who represents Ravens Nest with such familiarity and grace. She truly made us feel like we were part of a friendly gathering at her home. The Summer cocktail selection was spot on. The food was delicious, definitely prepared by someone with a passion for creating interesting and exciting dishes. Overall I have to say this is now I’m my favorites and my last suggestion… you MUST get the sorbet with champagne floater.

The 3 of us, my husband, our Son & me were extremely happy with our choice of restaurants tonight. Our food was FRESH & DELICIOUS. My husband & I had the same thing, the Ahi tuna bowl, Sooo good. It was bright in color & very fresh. Our Son had the French dip panini. Fist he had a cup of French onion soup which he said was very very good. Destiny was our server & she was great. The restaurant is cool & unique. Looking forward to us going again. Yummy

Visiting from out of town and Ravensview was recommend by our concierge. Greeted by our server Caitlyn the food was amazing and the wine recommendations were spot on but warmth and enthusiasm of our service were what made the experience. Will return next time we visit.

First of all our server... Nicole... Did a fabulous job! She was very sweet and accommodating. We found a happy hour menu to be fantastic and the food tasted really really yummy. Great wine, always a great atmosphere. The music was great as well. highly recommend this restaurant. Did I mention the fabulous views of the mountains? Can't get enough of that it's an amazing setting.

Terrific waitstaff . . . food is always good, but you guys need a new recipe for the Thai salad -- I only ate 3 bites, and I didn't taste anything remotely Thai. I'll send you a yummy recipe!
The place was not busy and there was plenty of seating. Yet the hostess chose to seat us at a small table then seated a loud table of four soon after we sat down. Server didn't check with us after food was served. We finally had to flag her down. She apologized and said she was busy making sangria for later. Glad the sangria rates higher than patrons actually dining in your establishment. I do like this place. But with prices and tipping getting out of hand, I (and I suspect others) will only patronize the establishments with the best food, service and value.

Great experience. Unfortunately the wild fire was close. I hate seeing the Arizona desert on fire. Great food and atmosphere. Will be back for sure.

We must have hit them on a bad day, first they served our food with no utensils or napkins. Shortly afterwards a wind gust spilled our 25 dollar glasses of wine, they didn’t offer us a towel or anything, I had to ask for it to clean up the wine all over us. Again the wind came, toppling the table and spilling our drinks and deserts that we didn’t get finish. Not once did they apologize or offer us a new drink or dessert. Atmosphere was less than to be desired, you would think having your deliveries ( trucks running and making all kinds of noise) in the back away from where you are trying to enjoy a great glass of wine.

Great location. I rarely write a review but our experience was not good last night. The server was rude and unengaged. Clearly didn’t want to be there. The pretzel appetizer was microwaved and disappointing. Poke was good but lack of service changed my previous positive opinion of the restaurant. Not worth it.

This is an absolute gem tucked in the hills of Cave Creek. Our friends introduced us and I wish we were locals and could go here all the time. Their happy hour can't be beat, and their food is absolutely delectable. And what an amazing choice of both red and white wine. if you are in the Cave Creek area, do not hesitate to visit this place!!!  you will not be disappointed!!!
Server was dreadful. Had no other tables but she was poor at best. Little to no communication, only visited the table when it was time to interact but gave zero indication she valued our business (table of 6). Need to pick up the customer service. Not what it once was.
