8 Arizona Restaurants Right On The Water That You're Guaranteed To Love

Looking for a way to make a meal extra special? One fantastic way to do that is by choosing a restaurant with a waterfront view. Finding a restaurant with this kind of view isn’t very common here in Arizona but the ones we do have are pretty incredible. Check out a few that we found along rivers, creeks, canals, and lakes.

You would think that with the number of canals Arizona has, there would be more dining options along them. Unfortunately, that’s not the case but there is at least one in Scottsdale where you can sit just feet away from the canal while enjoying a delicious brunch. Olive & Ivy serves scrumptious meals that are healthy and fresh.
