Dine- in, takeout and deliveryWed- Sun 12:00PM-9:00PMAt the heart of the vibrant Tucson gastronomic scene is a quaint, family owned restaurant that has made a name for itself by combining the classical French education of Executive Chef Steven Schultz with the flavors of traditional southwest cuisine. Driven by the vision of casual fine dining that he shares with wife and Maudi Gourdin, the pair have managed to make The Wild Garlic Grill one of Tucson’s premiere destinations for food lovers from all walks of life. That all too familiar aroma of garlic will titillate your senses from the moment you step through the front door, followed instantly by the pageantry of Chef and his crew hard at work in the open kitchen where you can watch your meal as it is prepared. One can sense the warmth that emanates from their comradery and dedication and it doesn’t take long to notice that the front of house staff shares the same passion. It’s almost as if they are one big happy family…

    Review for [Steakhouse Name] I recently had the pleasure of dining at this steak house and while the food was excellent, the true highlight of the evening was our server, Hugo. From the moment we were seated, Hugo set the tone for an exceptional dining I highly recommend asking for Hugo. His service takes an already excellent restaurant to the next level. We’ll definitely be returning next time we are in the area.

    We were seated on time and our requested accommodations were met. The food and drinks were fresh and appropriately hot/cold and delicious. Because of a problem with a tap, the beer I ordered was unreasonably delayed. While understandably this can happen, I would have appreciated being offered a different selection. Overall, excellent.

    We had a lovely anniversary dinner at Wildflower. Our server was attentive, kind and fun. The food, starting with the bread was absolutely delicious. I had the pappardelle, my husband had the salmon. We celebrated with the donut dessert of course!

    We tried Renee‘s in 2023, it was so delicious we had to come back. Not everyone has a perfect dining experience 2 times in a row, our 2nd dining experience was equal to or better than the 1st. I thought the salads were a bit pricey until I got mine, the quality & portion was excellent & worth every penny. The Oh Honey Board - DElicious!!! My friend ordered the lasagna & loved it but was a bit rich for her, I LOVED it & thought it was perfect. My husbands pizza was packed with flavor & the crust was superb. My pan seared chicken with sundried tomatoes was so good BUT I needed more garlic which they gladly provided. (I LOVE my garlic) Our waitress was very friendly & helpful to me in selecting my meal. We were unable to finish our food & gladly took leftovers. The only fault with Renee’s is you’re too full to order dessert. One other issue people might have is children under the age of 12 are not allowed 😳 So if your children are over 12, I highly recommend going to this place. If I find myself in Tucson again Renee‘s will always be one of my dining choices A MUST try! Sorry I forgot to take photos

    It was our first time trying it but after the positive reviews, it sounded like a great place. My spouse fell in love with street tacos in Mexico City when our son was born and had been craving them but never happy with what was on offer. Amelia's was exactly what we wanted and the food was really great. The Quesabirria was particularly good and the mini-chimis (Birria) were full of meat but just a trifle cool by the time the rest of the food was brought out, but still very tasty. I always like to have a chile relleno and I enjoyed them as well. All in all we had one of the best meals we'd eaten out in a long time. Our waiter was incredibly friendly, attentive and despite the busy crowd, made sure we were well taken care of. I would recommend the restaurant to anyone who likes Mexican.
