"An evening on the patio at Cielo offers the opportunity to commune with the sky and watch the sunset near the McDowell Mountains. The patio sits 2,500 feet above sea level and the vantage point offers a serious connection with nature. Chef Chris Kight, who sources local ingredients, has recently refreshed the menus, offering everything from popcorn shrimp tacos at brunch to A5 wagyu tartare and 24-hour braised short ribs at dinner. If sweet potato cheesecake and vegan panna cotta aren’t exciting enough, consider Cielo’s desserts by the glass, including jalapeño shortcake and the Dude Abides." - Mcconnell Quinn, Nikki Buchanan, jamiekillin, Rudri Patel
