Best Seafood Restaurants in Benson

Wonderful food, charming staff. We finally found an Italian restaurant in Tucson that delivers great Italian food.

We had a great date night dinner at Cork. Alex was attentive but not hovering, and food and beverage were great. The 110 degrees cocktail was surprisingly spicy, the whiskey sour was tart and not too sweet, and the old fashioned was just right. For entrees we got the crab cake and the bison filet — one of the most delicious steaks we’ve had in a long time. Prices are fair for the quality. It’s not cheap but the taste, ambiance, and overall value is there, especially for a special dinner.

Christmas dinner at Sullivan’s was very busy. Considering the number of diners, the staff did an excellent job of service that felt surprisingly personal. We were seated at a table for five that felt surprisingly intimate. We were warned by our server that we were going to have to wait a while for our entrees to be prepared. But the time passed comfortably for us at least as it gave us more time for a good family conversation and visit. We have been dining out each Christmas for 10 years (except for 2 years during the Covid pandemic). This was the best Christmas dining-out experience we have had.

We did have a reservation and did not have to wait that long to be seated. Our server Romeo was excellent and we both had the surf and turf which was cooked to perfection.

We used Open Table and made our reservation for Christmas lunch. We were pleasantly surprised as we drove to the restaurant. It was a great ambience. The food choices on the menu and the specials all sounded amazing. Made it hard to choose especially after our waitress Margarita shared her favorites. We decided we would just have bread before our meal because all the portions looked large. I had the freshest salad with honey mustard the house dressing. I ordered the Lobster Ravioli and it was perfection. Not too rich. It was well balanced lemon crème sauce with stuffed lobster ricotta pasta. My husband and our other guest both got baked Mostaccioli. They loved it and both took home leftovers. We had tiramisu and I had vanilla and chocolate gelato with chocolate and caramel syrup which our waitress made at her recommendation. Yum!! There. Was nothing I would have changed. It was such a great meal. I'm ready to go back now and highly recommend.
