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…

Service was excellent. Waiter was attentive. Food was very good. Noise level wasn’t too bad when we arrived but it got louder and a little more difficult to converse at the end.

Everything was great! The food was amazing and the service impeccable. We were celebrating a birthday, they wished our party birthday wishes on the way to a great table with views from 2 sides. Greyson was our server, he kept the pace of the food to our preference and was awesome. Would highly recommend this place and our server.

6 of us dined on a Thursday night. The place was packed but our reserved table was waiting for us. We shared appetizers, meatballs, eggplant and calamari that were all excellent. The eggplant was my favorite ! Several of us had the creamy risotto with peas, langastinos crispy pancetta bits and perfectly grilled shrimp perched on top. 2 got salmon which was cooked perfectly and served with beautiful yellow beats. 1 enjoyed the baby clam pasta dish. We all had coffees and despite the beautiful dessert menu we didn’t have room for a bite more. As a matter of fact we had leftovers!! Well done!
