Enjoy exceptional service and a friendly atmosphere at Nook. It's a wonderful spot for enjoying a delicious meal while catching up with old acquaintances over lunch. Nook is located just south of the Prima County Public Library on East Congress Street. It opened in 2015 and has become a trendy eatery that serves up New American cuisine. Owners Nikki and Matt Thompson along with Todd Anderson are fellow Tucsonans who love their community. Local artists have work showcased throughout this contemporary restaurant. Nook also prides itself on serving up locally sourced food. Try the Godfather Benedict with prosciutto, arugula, poached egg hollandaise and balsamic drizzle for breakfast, or come down during lunch for a green corn tamale pie with cabbage salad. It offers take-out service and is open for breakfast and lunch during the week. This restaurant also serves brunch on Saturday and Sunday.

Our bar program largely focuses on wines that are organic, biodynamic, and produced with minimal intervention.

Wed- Sun 12:00PM-9:00PM
At 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…

Sullivan's Steakhouse - Tucson

Kick off your evening at Sullivan’s with a craft cocktail, whether you prefer our “Knockout” orange-pineapple martini, a “Smoldering” smoking mezcal mule, or an elevated pomegranate cosmopolitan.

There’s a cut for everyone, whether you’re partial to the “cowboy cut” bone-in ribeye or a classic filet mignon. Pair your steak with crab-stuffed shrimp or a broiled lobster tail for the ultimate surf-and-turf duo.
There’s something in the air that makes Sullivan’s unique: an ambience at the intersection of luxury and cozy familiarity. Enjoy the swingin’ energy of our bar-centric atmosphere, soundtracked by the stylings of local musicians. You’ll be greeted by a staff who remembers you by name, offering personalized recommendations based on your typical favorites.

First time visiting and we will be back! Started our evening on the town with dinner at Hub. We went to a great show at The Century Room and then came back for ice cream. Our food and ice cream were amazing! A little pricier for the ribeye dinners than the side portions offered. If the sides were a little larger portioned it would’ve been totally worth the price. The quality of food and its preparation were on point though! The only other thing I would say needs work is the dining area. The decor and ambiance is great but there are too many tables squeezed into the space available. Eliminating a few tables would make it more comfortable for a more private or romantic experience. It kind of felt like a cafeteria setting with the amount of people in close quarters. But overall I’d give our entire experience a 4.5 out of 5 stars and we will be back!

A good consistent place for pizza and pasta, salads and drinks! Good wait staff, and the house wine is good enough not to waste $ on the wine list ( although some nice wines) Fair prices make it a good choice in downtown Tucson

Discover Downtown Tucson

Since Tucson is well-known for its scorching temperatures, you'll find a variety of themed raspados (or flavored shaved ice) restaurants on many of the corners. These restaurants typically serve sandwiches with deli meat, a vegan menu, and a variety of salads as well. Because of its heavy Mexican culture, Downtown Tucson also boasts some of the country's most authentic Mexican cuisine. It's tough to find a city where you'll get true, traditional Mexican animal cuts. You'll also find some of the best Western-style steakhouses in the Desert Southwest here! Furthermore, College students love variety, and with the University of Arizona just around the block, Downtown Tucson made sure to cater to them with a host of sushi, Thai, Korean, Japanese, and Indian restaurants.
