Restaurants near Sahuarita Lake

Nailed it again! We brought snowbirds from New York who hadn’t been to Wildflower before (what?). I really hoped that they would like it…they loved it! Each couple ordered an artichoke to share, then our friends shared a Greek Caesar. I had my perennial favorite—scallops—and my husband had salmon (but switched it up with the sides from the scallops. One of our friends had the mussels (and she couldn’t stop raving about them); the other had beef ravioli (he’s lower key, but said it was very good). When the time came for dessert, I mentioned that if they’re chocolate people, they may want to try Bars of Sin. We should have shared one order (rich and generous). That got raves as well. Thanks, again, to the team at Wildflower, for a great evening!

Tito and Pep never disappoints. Service was excellent; drinks were superb and the appetizers entrees and desserts were perfectly prepared. Tucson is very lucky to have Tito and Pep as one of our "go to" restaurants.

They seem to have a very professional staff. Very nice from start to finish …

Patricia was our server, she as excellent as usual. There was very nice, quiet guitar music during our meal, and the food was excellent.

We thoroughly enjoyed Bata. The food was an eclectic and seasonal mix of farm to table innovation. The food was fresh, flavorful and imaginative. We chose our own mixture from the various courses. We stated with apps of the beef & pork bites , ( which were delicious and moist meatballs with a fantastic pumpkin miso sauce), and a luscious mushroon skewer. We moved on to the malawach, a wonderful Mediterranean flatbread with a labneh egg yolk and honey dip. It was special. We tore and dipped until it was gone! There was a smoked turnip dish that served as a really delicious warm, smoky salad course. Our entrees were pork loin and cod. Both proteins were well prepared while retaining just the right amount of moisture with complimentary vegetable accompaniments. We experienced various preparations of turnips in just about every dish. All were delicious. Dessert was the sorbet and chocolate cake. One was as light and refreshing as the other was rich and decadent. Our server, Roxana B. was delightful, personable and menu knowledgeable. She made great, helpful suggestions. The team was spot on with maintaining perfect timing on flow of courses and clearing and replacing plates and flatware. The restaurant had great ambience and we were pleased to have the chance to experience it on our visit to Tucson.
