Acacia Framed by Troon Mountain and Pinnacle Peak, Acacia's terrace is a spectacular setting for chef Simon Purvis's modern American dishes: Chardonnay-poached Maine lobster with fennel and chervil butter, duck ravioli with foie gras (10600 E. Crescent Moon Dr., Scottsdale; 480-515-5700).

Callaloo The friendly sand-covered patio at this Caribbean café evokes a day at the beach. Start with one of the restaurant's signature cocktails before moving on to curried goat, tostones (deep-fried plantain slices) with raspberry-rum sauce or conch fritters with Scotch bonnet sauce (7051 E. Fifth Ave., Scottsdale; 480-941-1111). 

Cartwright's At Eric Flatt's rustic New American outpost, a huge beehive fireplace warms patrons on the patio while they take in views of Saguaro Hill. Customers dine on elk or buffalo, with such mix-and-match sides as onion risotto and sun-dried fruit with port (6710 E. Cave Creek Rd., Cave Creek; 480-488-8031).
