Best Southwest American Restaurants in Oro Valley

We had a very romantic and relaxing afternoon for the Sunday Brunch! The atmosphere is great. The dining area was not overcrowded with tables giving us a perfect setting view mountain views, both chairs facing the windows so we were in our own little slice of happiness. The food was top notch. The hot items were actually kept at an appropriate temperature, not lukewarm like the typical buffet. The cold items including the assorted gourmet cheeses, LARGE shrimp, oysters on half shell, chilled grilled vegetables were plentiful. My only request (nt a complaint) was that the carving station only served Prime Rib. A second item, like oven roasted Turkey Breast with gravy and fresh cranberry sauce would have made this spectacular. The price of $50/person included a complimentary champagne or mimosa (with $1 refills) as well as unlimited coffee, iced tea, and soda... OH, and the various mini desserts were made in house and were delicious. I had 5, including 3 that were presented by our server on a decorated plate with a candle for my 65th birthday! Prices are higher on special weekends like Easter and Mother's Day, but my understanding is that the menu is also expanded for special events.

Our server was fabulous. We were hotel guests and made a reservation. We were early for the reservation and the hostess/manager said they couldn't seat us. No problem, we said we'd just go get a drink at that bar. She said that was not allowed. First time I think I have ever heard that. We went to the lobby bar, had a great drink from a bartender that created the pear martini my wife had. Very nice. And he got the tip that the bartender in the restaurant didn't! My wife had the short rib and I had the pork chop. Both cooked perfectly and very flavorful.

We went there to eat dinner and watch the game in Super Bowl Sunday. The servers were very friendly and the food was great. I had the tacos and they were excellent.

La Paloma just keeps improving! Since the renovation, the food has been outstanding, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Managers Guisela and Adam are sharp, with excellent planning. Everyone around us was enjoying themselves, and hosting a Super Bowl party was a fantastic idea. Can’t wait for next year! It’s great to see La Paloma getting better and better—fantastic job, everyone!

Phenomenal service. Great food . Honestly very satisfied overall…. Thankyou Edgar for great service !
