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. That all too familiar aroma of garlic will titillate your senses from the moment you step through the front door, followed instantly by the pageantry of Chef and his crew hard at work in the open kitchen where you can watch your meal as it is prepared. 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. It’s almost as if they are one big happy family…

    This was our first time at Firebirds and we had a great time! The service was excellent. Very attentive, timely, and thoughtful. There were a lot of people because it was Valentines Day. There was noise, but given that it was a holiday, it was expected. The lights dim about 6:30 pm making it very cozy inside. The food was excellent. We got a lot for our money. Would go back!

    We were a party of three last night and made reservations to sit on the patio. We prefer the patio because it can get pretty loud inside. Our waiter, Alec made the evening - he was simply outstanding. We ordered two appetizers because we had to have the Cold Smoked Salmon (which is out of this world) so we added the Steamed Mussels. To our delight, the mussels were fabulous. My husband ordered his usual - the fish and chips. The fish is lightly battered and is delicious. We've recommended Wildflower just for the fish and chips. The Pork Scallopini and the Short Rib Ravioli did not disappoint. Of course, we saved room for the Banoffee Trifle for dessert, my favorite! Our granddaughter was very impressed the restaurant lived up to our hype. Again, thank you Alec for a wonderful evening!

    Minor "glitch" early on remedied by restaurant Zoe McCarthy in superbly professional manner. Food fit our Wednesday night requirements perfectly- food board we split for four and four appetizers/pizza/salads (not all, we are seniors), plus the bottle of wine and we left happy (as opposed to happily left).

    Vivace continues to be one of the finest dining experiences in Tucson. Over the years the location has changed, both times for the better, but the food is consistently excellent. Their most popular entree is the crab stuffed chicken breast, and it has been my go-to dish for about 30 years.
