Restaurants near Verdugo Park

The inventive menu met every expectation that the rave reviews I read here and elsewhere created. It was very stimulating to a jaded palette, the dishes by every turn inspired in conception and flavorful in execution. As the restaurant does not publish its perhaps daily changing menu, I can’t properly name my dishes. The mushroom tart came with (for a mere $7 supplement) generous lashings of OR black truffle. The albacore crudo was the best raw tuna dish I’ve had this year, with shavings of raw turnip providing an unexpected but brilliant counterpoint. Their Sonoran spin on beef carpaccio should be recorded in a published recipe. I’ve never seen squash sorbet on a menu—with candied orange zest, it made for a refreshing ending. My server was highly professional and well informed about menu and wine pairings. She graciously brought a gift dish when one of mine not mentioned here disappointed me. Finally, the prices here are a bargain for fine dining at this level. A great exemplar of Tucson’s culinary scene.

Very vibrant culinary experience. Waitresses are very kind and solicitous. Food is comfort food and excellent!

Food was fantastic. Really delicious. Feels like there could be some weirdness with management or something... A lot of items were unavailable, even down to beverages. But I’d still say give it a try, the short ribs are damn good.

Excellent all around! Food, service and ambiance all impeccable. Warm atmosphere and friendly attentive staff, great decor and wonderful food!! We LOVE!

The ricotta toast is still one of our very favorite dishes in Tucson! My rigatoni was equally delicious, great dinner!
