Dine- in, takeout and deliveryWed- Sun 12:00PM-9:00PMAt the heart of the vibrant Tucson gastronomic scene is a quaint, family owned restaurant that has made a name for itself by combining the classical French education of Executive Chef Steven Schultz with the flavors of traditional southwest cuisine. Driven by the vision of casual fine dining that he shares with wife and Maudi Gourdin, the pair have managed to make The Wild Garlic Grill one of Tucson’s premiere destinations for food lovers from all walks of life.

One can sense the warmth that emanates from their comradery and dedication and it doesn’t take long to notice that the front of house staff shares the same passion.

    We were given great comfortable seating , thank you. Although quite noisy with holiday and sport celebrations. The food was excellent. I had their duck and shrimp with fried rice. The prices are in line with current economy. Waiters were attentive. I would definitely recommend this place.

    It wasn’t busy and we were seated right away. Waiter was good. My in-laws asked to split an entree and they were served on separate plates which was good. My vegan tamale was tasty and had a like spice kick to it. Wife had the soup of the day, tomato bisque with chipotle. I had a taste and it was good. Also had a little spice kick to it.

    This was a fantastic brunch with Santa. Everything was top notch and wonderful. Food stations were plentiful and staffed with friendly employees. Santa was perfect and made sure we had the right approach to taking the picture for the little guy. Only area for improvement would be was that it was too warm in the room. Staff and food was excellent. Price point was a good value for what you got in return. Would recommend this brunch to anyone. Much better option than the busier breakfasts or waiting in line at the mall.
