Enjoying a restaurant with great food is something everyone loves to experience, but throw in an amazing view and the experience gets even better. It’s hard to find in Arizona, but there are select number of spots that are located along the water’s edge and provide a great view of that same water.
Below is a list of a few restaurants that boast beautiful views of lakes, rivers and creeks:
1. Dinner Bell Cafe (321 W Gurley Street, Prescott)
This well-known restaurant includes back patio seating that provides a view of a small creek and tall trees sitting behind the restaurant.
2. Cress on Oak Creek (301 Little Lane, Sedona)
