Dined here for a special occasion, which was acknowledged by our server! She was knowledgeable and attentive, and made some nice recommendations on the menu. We enjoyed our cocktail, wine, the grilled squash salad, pork chop and shrimp-in-broth entrees, and fabulous dark chocolate ganache dessert—if you are a chocolate lover, don’t miss that! Delicious and flavorful meal, quieter atmosphere than expected based on reataurant photos, and great service. And open on Sunday night, which quite a few Tucson restaurants are not.

Everything was wonderful from the waiter to the food. The one thing was that the food was served too slowly. Thank you for the great experience!
