    Tonto has a very nice view from the lower patio. The seating was comfortable with plenty of umbrellas. The appetizers were very good and the salads were good. The Ruben sandwiches were horrible. Do not order unless you love grease and lots of salt. Anyway the fries that came with were good. Our server had some memory issues and apologized for it. Probably not return

    Ashli was our server and she was personable and professional. We had the harvest salad, which was delicious, as were the sand dabs. We would definitely recommend Tonto Bar and Grille.
