Wonderful happy hour, great location, atmosphere and service. These guys helped create the modern food and cocktail scene for Tucson and Southern Arizona in general.
Chuck was the best bartender I’ve had in years. Awesome suggestions, delicious cocktails off the menu with personalized twists. 10/10 would recommend. The food looks delicious even though we didn’t get a chance to take advantage of the eats. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town!
Great location and their menu always changes---this means you want to keep going back to see what new flavors are being offered. Often the menus follow a theme from different global culinary styles. Be sure to check Groupon as they often have deals available.
Delicious and innovative cuisine - light options and richer fare. Lovely atmosphere with an outdoor patio and a bar if you're dining alone. Fantastic, friendly service! Would definitely recommend and will be back. Tasty cocktails!
I think the most important thing I can say about this place is that if you are not someone who is not an extreme "foodie," it's probably best to go someplace else. The drink I had was delicious, as was the appetizer (pork belly donuts). However, the entrees had confusing combinations (I believe there is some kind of seasonal menu, ours was Turkish? or Greek inspired?), with disappointing portion sizes. My husband ordered date-stuffed quail, which had a specifically oatmeal-like taste and texture, and not in a good way. I got the Zahle Mixed Grill, in which the actually meat was good enough and well-prepared, but all of the garnishes had strangely sweet, unpleasant flavor combinations. We even tried switching dishes to get through it, and neither of us could stomach either dish. I'm not going to say their food was "bad," or poor quality because I honestly feel like you have to have a certain level of knowledge and experience with food to enjoy it. Neither my husband and I are picky people, and we are certainly adventurous when it comes to food, and it simply did not taste good to either of us, and with $30+ plates, that's just not acceptable. If you're looking for a high-class unique cuisine and know you like the flavors on the menu, absolutely check it out! The atmosphere was great, and the service was good enough. If you're looking for accessible, delicious food. maybe take your money elsewhere.
Incredible food! Great atmosphere! Wonderful service from staff! We will definitely be regulars and bringing friends and family! Thank you!!
A casual elegance to this place. You don't have to dress-up, but you could. Relatively quiet. Good service. Menu is eclectic with offerings that are all over the map. Not just a single identifiable cuisine. Portions are reasonable, but it is pricey here. However, the flavors are unique.
Overall a very nice dining experience.
An amazing experience! We loved Downtown Kitchen + Cocktails - everything about it. A mid-century modern feel, warm atmosphere. Everyone who works there is amazing, especially our server. They made sure that we had the best possible time. The food was delicious! They were able to accommodate dairy free and gluten free with no problem at all. They made us feel like we were dinner guests rather than customers. We will be back as soon as possible.
Happy Hour is the best time to go! Great deals on wine and beer. The Calamari is the best I have ever had, and I've had some good Calamari. Plus the atmosphere is super cute!
Hands down one of the best meals I have ever had, probably the best one in Tucson for sure. This place is not cheap, but its worth every penny. Part of me wishes I had come earlier because I would have been back so many times, the other part of me is glad I didn't because I would have spent so much money here wanting to try everything on their menu. This is just a five star restaurant, all there is to it.
I had the bacon wrapped quail and it changed my life. The Wife had the steak, she said it was great but I couldn't hear her as I was still trying to process the amazing tasting quail. We shared the bread pudding and ice cream afterwards and that had me seriously considering moving to the area. It also had a wonderful atmosphere. This place is amazing.
