The mountain ranges around Santa Cruz, Arizona, are too stunning to be hidden behind fences. For this reason, many county restaurants have installed large picture windows and even patios so diners can take in the breathtaking scenery while they eat.

Vivace Restaurant
This restaurant in the Catalina Foothills has a breathtaking panorama of the city of Tucson below. The indoor and outdoor seating areas are decorated in a Tuscan style, giving diners a taste of the rustic elegance of northern Italy. Spinach and Cheese Soufflé, Four Cheese Manicotti, Veal Marsala, Crab Stuffed Breaded Chicken Breast, and Seared Beef Tenderloin are just some of the delicious options available.

Flying V Bar & Grill
The restaurant's guacamole is legendary because it is prepared at each table by a skilled guacamoliere who blends the finest ingredients according to each diner's specifications.

The Grill at Hacienda del Sol
Many of the items on the menu come directly from the resort's organic gardens or are sourced from nearby farms and producers. Over 700 wines are available, and the list has been recognized with two "Award of Ultimate Distinction" honors from Wine Enthusiast and 19 "Best of Award of Excellence" honors from Wine Spectator.

Azul Restaurant and Lounge
Azul is a stylish, modern restaurant and bar with stunning views of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The Spanish design of the outdoor eatery makes for an elegant and welcoming atmosphere.

Each day, Chef Jonathan Kupper uses only the freshest ingredients from the surrounding countryside to meticulously prepare an inventive menu with a Southwestern twist. Charred Vegetable Quesadilla, Avocado & Crab Stack, Epazote House Salad, Grilled Prime New York Steak, Baby Back Ribs, and Smoked Marinara Linguini are just a few of the dishes that must not be missed.
