    Rita’s is a beautiful restaurant with a fantastic outdoor setting! This is a must go to for Sunday brunch as well as lunch during the week. We loved all the beautiful flowers surrounding the area.

    Highly recommend Sunday brunch. It is terrific. Lots of food choices, including vegan choices. Prime rib - a wonderful, spicy end piece! Seafood, meats, pastas, regular breakfast items, salads, tacos, great deserts. Desert standout was a pistachio mouse topped with chocolate bits and marinated berries. Spectacular! The brunch is a regular event - strongly recommend.

    What a gem of a place! The lobby was love at first sight, but I now know why everyone wants to sit outside. The courtyard is gorgeous and spacious with live music, flowers and water features; dining under the stars cannot get much better than this! The Adobo Shrimp Enchiladas were superb and my chocolate mousse was a work of art. Looking forward to a return visit to dine at Lincoln’s Steakhouse & Bar! Check out the sweet chapel on your way to your car. A piece of Phoenix history well-preserved. Kudos to Marriott!

    We enjoyed a wonderful dinner outside on the beautiful and spacious patio. Our server was great! Dinner and drinks were delicious. The live music added to the ambience. We will definitely be back!

    Beautiful patio bar with fire pits, string lights and live music. Very large patio space that can accommodate 100 or more comfortably. This may be why I gave the service a lower rating. Our server was great but service was very slow. We realized later in the evening that she had tables across the patio from us. She was covering a lot of tables and a lot of ground all night. I give her 5 stars for that. Food was good price was reasonable. Would be nice if they had a drink menu rather than making the server tell us what they have, very strange.

    Lunch on Saturday was pleasant and different than our usual Sunday brunch visit. Less crowded and hectic, and no guitar playing and singing in the background. Waitress was adorable, very sweet, and had a great smile! Chopped salad was very good, add a few more veges please. Bloody Mary perfect! Everyone joining me enjoyed their meals as well. New day and time for me made it an overall pleasurable experience.

    Our table of six had an excellent experience on Ritas outside patio. The ambience at Ritas is unbeatable. Our food and waitress was excellent. The guitarist was very good but a little bit loud. It was a very enjoyable evening.
