| - I had been contemplating going to Different Pointe of View for *years*, but because of my continuous status as a poor college student, I've also put it off. With DPoV participating once again in AZ Restaurant Week, and a dining partner who wanted to take advantage of it, it was finally off to DPoV we went.
Before we went, I didn't understand the plethora of "4 stars" that this fancy restaurant constantly receive. But having gone, now I totally get it. It's a great restaurant, but it's lacking that little something to make it stand out.
The Food:
-our 3 course prix fixe was delicious, from the lobster bisque topped with crunchy veggie bits to the filet mignon perfectly cooked to the chocolate heaven dessert, my mouth was always satisfied. However, it lacked that one abso-freaking-lutely amazing dish that deserves a 5 star.
The Ambience:
-the view was amazing, and that does deserve the coveted 5 stars :-)
The Service:
-hailing from normal restaurants of being served by 20 somethings rushing around, the silent and smooth service performed by pudgy older men was a welcome change, and added much to the atmosphere. However, they could have coordinated a little better. Ex: 3 different waiters came to make certain we received dessert forks.... thanks, we did.
So would I go again? Definitely, but not until I've exhausted the list of other 4 diamond (AAA rating) restaurants in the city.
