   We got married at this Resort 20 years ago when it was under another name and came back for our anniversary dinner here. Our reservations were for 7 pm. When we arrived there was no valet service as the parking lot was completely overfull the manager said there were 3 events and we would have to just park along the curb or wherever we could fit. The restaurant and views were beautiful as always and we got seated immediately at perfect location. Hostess was very sweet and welcoming. Once seated however it took 20 minutes for a waiter to show to bring water and take drink order. Our drinks did not show up until 7:55! Then he took our order appetizers showed promptly about 10 minutes later. I ordered sea bass which showed uo 10 min after our apps my husband ordered the ribeye rarer which showed uo not kidding you 20 minutes after my entree with no steak knife. A busboy happened to see this and came over with a steak knife appreciated his attentiveness and he apologized for the waiter During this whole time never saw our waiter. There was a table of about 12 ladies being taken care of and about 3 other tables of couples in the area of the restaurant. Our waiter was young inexperienced and made the whole experience pretty sad representation of this what is a normally 4 star restaurant and dining experience. The only saving grace was the food/wine as always is amazing and the views and setting are second to none. Suggest train your wait staff more thoroughly he was an embarrassment to your establishment.

   Although I was staying in town for an event at the Valley Ho, dining at Cielo was one of the highlights of my trip to Scottsdale! I booked a table for breakfast the morning of my wedding anniversary, and from beginning to end, the staff made my husband and I feel totally taken care of. Not realizing the intensity of the Arizona sun, I'd mistakenly requested an outdoor table. The hostess explained how we would be squinting at each other the entire meal, and that she'd reserved a lovely spot inside, right next to the window so we could still enjoy the view. It was absolutely the right call. The food was outstanding (I highly recommend the breakfast sandwich!), and the service from the wait staff was impeccable. Director of Rooms Kevin Holtzman stopped by to introduce himself and see if there was anything we needed, and then later, a lovely dessert and sparkling wine appeared with a hand-written note! Honestly, this is some of the best service I've ever received in a restaurant, ever.

   Atmosphere nice, service was kinda slow-had finished dinner when second drink arrived and it was incorrect drink. Food was good tho and eating outside was nice. Just understaffed.

   What Easter Brunch at a resort should be! So many options for every palette and each attractively presented not to mention tasty. Three carving station options. The NZ lamb was excellent. Omelette station very good as was the sushi table. Many ,many pastries and desserts to choose from and the in house petit fours and bonbons were top shelf! Our server was exceptionally attentive and we had the bonus of a table with a spectacular view. The resort is now under new management and kudos to them for making Adero what is should be. I would highly recommend Cielo at this point.

   We live nearby and we only go to CIELO when friends are in town and want to impress them with the gorgeous view. The food is good, but the overall experience is never worth the $100+ per person it ends up costing.

    Someone described our dinner at CIELO as magical, lol! It was a perfect night on the patio with great food and drinks. Nancy at the inside bar is a group favorite - we made time to see her as often as we could. We enjoyed the hotel, views, and people as well. Thanks for a great dinner!!!
