    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
