    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.

    Dined here for a special occasion, which was acknowledged by our server! She was knowledgeable and attentive, and made some nice recommendations on the menu. We enjoyed our cocktail, wine, the grilled squash salad, pork chop and shrimp-in-broth entrees, and fabulous dark chocolate ganache dessert—if you are a chocolate lover, don’t miss that! Delicious and flavorful meal, quieter atmosphere than expected based on reataurant photos, and great service. And open on Sunday night, which quite a few Tucson restaurants are not.

    It's one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in a while. Innovative flavors and creative dishes were all spot on. Everything meticulously prepared. Friendly, experienced wait staff. Comfortable setting. Hope to eat there again. I had bay scallops, my husband had salmon, and my son had the pork chop.

    Great food; very slow service on a Sunday night. Took 10min to get seated after checking in despite our table being available.

    Superb! From check in to getting outta there its freaking amazing! We had the grilled octopus and it was delicious, well balanced, and tasty with the oil and chopped veggies! I was sad it was over so quick. Then we had the fried snapper with accoutrements that were absolutely tasty. The slaw was crisp, fresh and just the right amount of citrus with tangy vinegar. We said, keep those tortillas coming. You have done it over and over again T & P, I’m in love.
