Restaurants near Mission Park

Truly a gem of Tucson. This was our first visit, so we didn't know what to expect. Based on meals at other highly regarded Tucson restaurants I didn't expect much, to be honest. Frankly, we were blown away. Everything we ordered was delicious, and a few items were truly something else. We ordered the charred broccoli expecting a fairly straightforward, and basic, starter. What we got was a dish of such complexity that we were taken aback. Another highlight was the rosemary olive oil cake. Usually olive oil cake is one of those hip menu items that never lives up to the hype. This cake was the exception. It was so moist and flavorful. When I took a bite with the cake, cream, and dark maraschino cherries (Luxardo?), it was a mouthful of heaven. We seriously considered extending our stay in Tucson one more day simply to return for dinner tomorrow. Alas, it was unrealistic. But we do plan on stopping in the next time we're in town.

Our experience was wonderful!! We had the nicest lady wait on us and she made us feel so special!

Marcus was amazing! He stayed on top of our party, never had an empty drink, was very polite and courteous. Was our first time there and will be back.

Our party of 7 was seated on two tables with a booth on one side and chairs on the other. There was a ceiling speaker directly above our head which makes it uncomfortable with those wearing hearing aids. I had made a note one of us was celebrating their 80th birthday and no recognition or mention was given by our wait staff. this location is smaller and more crowded. We prefer the other locations with more space,

We try to make sure we visit Red Lobster on Wednesday for their Steak & Lobster special. We usually order the larger steak and then split the meal. It is more than enough for the both of us.
