Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Fountain Hills / Rio Verde

Really great experience at this restaurant. The server (can’t remember his name) from NY was outstanding and made the experience memorable. Loved the Baja tacos and the pumpkin bread pudding.

The executive chef, Dianna, was so thoughtful to come and speak to us for guidance on a gluten free meal! She recommended a slight change to a menu item, of which was superb! Then after dinner moved to the outdoor bar/fire pit area with drinks and to hear music with Ian Eric. Very enjoyable and entertaining! We had a wonderful evening at Wicked6!

Our first time here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. They are sticklers with your reservation time…no sooner, no later. The ambiance was like that of a movie set. They had a birthday card waiting on our table for my wife. The heaters were a nice balance to the outside air. Our waiter Solomon was charismatic, knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. Very impressed with the quality of food…bruschetta, short braised ribs and complimentary dessert for my wife’s birthday. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for a delightful experience!!!

Anniversary dinner and the entire staff was friendly, engaging, and professional. Our server (AJ) was outstanding in his attentiveness to our dining experience. The entree we selected were delivered in a timely manner, tasty, and arrived at the appropriate temperature. We were treated with excellent service and tasty meals. Great overall experience. Will return to Embers.

Really great food and staff was friendly. Food portions were appropriate for the price. Staff could have been a bit more attentive, but ultimately was professional and helpful. View of the nearby mountain range is incredible.
