Diner Reviews

"We chose Sullivan's as we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. Our meal was wonderful and the service was excellent!! We really enjoyed ourselves!"

"We hadn't been to Sullivan's in a while, as Tucson's budding food scene is growing at an incredible pace, but we happened to be in the area and booked a reservation. It didn't have the same feel that it did a few years ago; it felt like a steakhouse for seniors, because there were almost only older people there and the bar was dead. Our server was excellent, and the food was perfect. Our server gave us wine recommendations for our food and they paired quite well. My steak was cooked perfectly and our stone crab claws were meaty and delicious. This was an exceptional visit, and reminded me that this truly is one of the best places to eat in the city."

"Sullivan's has it all: Super-friendly hostesses, personable and competent managers and incredible servers. The wine list is varied and extensive, and substitutions or changes always are cheerfully accommodated. The steaks, salads and side dishes are your traditional steakhouse fare, but they taste much better than your average steakhouse. This isn't an inexpensive night out, but expect to be treated like royalty. It's worth every penny."

"Overall, enjoy going to Sullivans', the food is always superb. However, our last experience was ruined due to medicore server, which soured our whole experience."

"Service lapses.....lots. Waiter attempted to make light of, and to reassure that it was coming, etc. eventually, it did...."

"Sarah was an awesome server! She was personable, knowledgable, helpful, and she had a great sense of humor."

"Haven't been for years but it seemed like a good choice for my husband's birthday. Shrimp and lobster bisque was a notable start. I knew quickly that I'd never be able to eat everything so I asked to take the rest of my wedge salad home. I was hoping I could keep it cold enough to not get soggy overnight. Yeah, right. Instead of my leftovers they gave me a fresh wedge with all the toppings on the side. That was enough to create a customer for life. Strip steak was delicious and Doug had the special topped with crab stuffed shrimp. A very lovely evening. Staff is professional and friendly. I'm sure ours was one of the best in the restaurant."

"one of our diners needed ABSOLUTELY gluten free. although the menu clearly lists the gluten free items, the chef himself came out and took the time to work with her for special prep to accommodate her needs with a dish not normally gluten free. great staff. great restaurant."

"Our waitress Sarah was outstanding. We got the table we requested through Open Table. Made for a memorable anniversary dinner."

"We have nothing but positive things to say about our recent dining experience at Sullivans. Our server was fantastic. She could tell that some members of our piano loving, music loving gang had not been together for over 1 year. Our server left us alone to chat away, laugh away and get reacquainted. However she was always within an eye blink away to know when we were (finally) ready to order our food and wine. The wine list is wonderful and her suggestions were fantastic and very very helpful. Our food was delightful, and made our get together even that much more special. Our thanks to our server, Rae (not sure how to spell her name), and the entire staff at Sullivans. You made our get together a relaxing joyous occasion. Thank you!"

"We celebrated our anniversary at Sullivans and had a wonderful experience. They also gave us a complementary dessert for our anniversary! We always enjoy eating at Sullivans. They also have a nice quiet bar area. Very pleasant experience overall."

"Service is always top notch, food is better, and I usually spend too much money! I had the 26oz dry aged ribeye and my wife had the trio of 4oz filets with different sauces. Both were cooked perfectly, and along with the service I have no complaints about Sullivan's."
Dined on 3/29/2014
"The food was absolutely perfect! But the outstanding service is the headline. Our server was an absolute delight and made our evening even more enjoyable."
Dined on 3/29/2014
"We celebrated a birthday at Sullivan's recently. The food was great as always. There was a small problem with our bill, which the manager took care of immediately, and very generously. Sullivan's is our "go to" place for special occasions because we've come to expect perfectly-prepared steaks and great service. We would eat there more often except that it's a long drive for us - we live in Vail."
Dined on 3/24/2014
"We went here for our first date, and again for our first wedding anniversary. The food is exemplary and fits the price. Expect to spend about $200 for a couple, but it's well worth the price. This is a restaurant to be experienced and enjoyed, not one to come in for a quick meal. The steak melted in my mouth!"
Dined on 3/23/2014
"One of the premier steak houses around but their appetizers are outstanding too. We had their prix fixe menu ($39) for a three course dinner and were well satisfied with everything. Filet was perfectly cooked and flavorful."
Dined on 3/24/2014
"The food was not as good as we expected. The best parts were the crab and lobster bisque and the desserts. The rest was cold and not up to the pricing. The music was also way too loud. Service was good though. doubt we'll be back and the prices are too high for what we experienced."
Dined on 3/22/2014
"We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Sullivan's. Our waiter Brandon could not have done a better job and he enhanced our experience along with the delicious food. The woman who seated us could have done a better job of greeting us as she just grabbed menus and turned away for us to follow without speaking and I thought that was a bit strange. Overall. I would highly recommend this restaurant!"
Dined on 3/19/2014
"We came from out of town and this restaurant was highly recommended. We were late for our reservation and they did their best to accomodate us. Very freindly wait staff and had very good knowledge of the wine list. Enjoyed the evening, just forgot to use my $25 certificate."
Dined on 3/15/2014
"We have celebrated a birthday here for the past 3 years and enjoy it every time. This year, the service was as great as always, and we both enjoyed the prix fixe menu. Sensible portions and tasty food. The large staff were all in constant motion, serving, anticipating customers requests, clearing and resetting tables that were always full. A good place for a special occasion!"

"Vacationing in Tucson and was looking for a great restaurant to celebrate and we found it at Sullivan's! From the moment we arrived we were treated as special guests. Everyone was so friendly and nice! Our waitress was fantastic, so fun and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this as a restaurant to visit and hope to return again! Thank you Sullivan's for making our special day so wonderful!"

"My usual standby for Steak in Tucson is Flemings, but we couldn't get in Friday night. We went to Sullivans. It was surprisingly empty on a Friday. It was very good!"
Dined on 3/14/2014
"Was looking for healthy small plates and was very satisfied with options offered by Sullivan's. I have been here for steaks in the past and it was great. This time I just wanted some small options and the wait server who was very knowledgeable to my health needs and provided details on how items were cooked. I was very impressed with my waiter and I loved the fact they are starting to carry some local craft beers from the area. It's nice to know that I can go to Sullivan's and have some apps or small plates and be treated like I was by the wait staff as if I was ordering a 45.00 steak. Classy place... Great people!"
Dined on 3/9/2014
"Arrived expecting a great dining experience and left agreeing with my wife we wouldn't be back again. Waiter not attentive and didn't know the menu or bar stock. Had to "go check and find out" several times. When bill came there were up-charges for extras not offered, explained, or selected when we ordered. Explanation when bill questioned was, "That's the way we do it." What kind of response is that??? Steaks very good, but chocolate cake must have been made in an Easy Bake Oven -- chewy and tasteless. Overall the poor service and unwelcome up-charges made us decide to not return again. Our opinion: Flemings is the clear winner for food, service and ambiance."
Dined on 3/7/2014
"The staff were superb but the food wasn't up to what I've had in the past dining experiences there. The salad was fairly limp, and the plate was actually quite warm (not what you want for salad), I ordered a New York and it was quite tough. You'd take a bite and be chewing, chewing, chewing. It's like it hadn't been properly aged. I can get this type of quality at any grocery store. So even though the wine was good, the desert was great, and the staff were excellent I'd have to weigh going back. The reason you go to a steakhouse is for a great steak. I'd eaten there the week before and the filet was way too salty, and I'd ask for medium-rare and got medium-well. All in all seems to be heading in the wrong direction."
Dined on 3/8/2014
"Sullivan's is one of those restaurants you can usually count on to meet your standards. We usually go there to celebrate special occasions. The steaks are great and the seafood is good. We usually get the seafood sampler and it did not disappoint. Everything was properly chilled and tasty. The oysters were a little small, but still yummy. One of the best items on the menu is the coconut creme pie. We get one on every visit. Sullivan's does a really nice job on it."
Dined on 3/2/2014
"For $400 for 4, I was a lilttle disappointed on how salty the steaks where. I have been there before and never had steaks this salty. Everyone in my party commented on how salty the steaks were. You expect it to be perfect for the price."
Dined on 3/2/2014
"As always, Sullivans is the go to spot for a working lunch. Everything top notch. Great shrimp bisque."

"One of the better steakhouses in Tucson. The New York Strip is to die for."
Dined on 3/2/2014
"Went to Sullivan's for the first time, early on a Wednesday and discovered a fabulous Happy Hour in the lounge. Gorgeous cocktails at $5!!! And a nice little bar menu for an appetizer before going into the dining room - we tried the gnocchi - very very tasty. Dinner was wonderful, steaks cooked perfectly. We tried the prix fix menu - all was truly first rate. We'll be back!!"
Dined on 2/26/2014
"The only complaint is that my wife ordered a filet and asked for it to be prepared medium and was medium/well. It was a very dry steak..."
Dined on 2/21/2014
"I got the fixed price menu, $39, but the service was very slow. Neither my husband nor I drink, so we didn't need time to linger over wine. Was sorta slow for us."
Dined on 2/21/2014
"I have been to Sullivan's many times in the past and both the service and the food have been outstanding. I recently went for my boyfriend's birthday and we were completely disappointed. The service was slow and inattentive. It took 15-20 mins to get our other round of drinks. The food was not made to our order and it seemed it was left out for a while before being brought to our table. The caesar salads were warm and soggy and one of the dishes came out completely cold. Two other dishes were cooked well-done instead of medium. We were also disappointed that there was no complimentary birthday dessert or treat (like other fine dining restaurants), but they gave the table next to us a bouquet of flowers for getting engaged."

"I think it is a good place to celebrate special occasions loved the bread and cheesecake would like to see some dishes for diabetic so you don't leave with a high glucose."

"My wife and I were visiting Tucson for the first time and found Sullivan's on Open Table. What a great place! The staff was exceptional in all aspects. Great attention to detail, always mingling around the tables and pleasantly conversational. The food was well prepared and very tasty!!!! We will definitely go back if we visit Tucson again."

"I have been to Sullivan't 3 times now for special occations. I always choose sullivan's as my go-to restaurant for a great filet and wonderful service. My needs and expectations are always meet and anyone I bring with me leaves a lover as well."
Dined on 2/15/2014
"There are many fine restaurants in Tucson, and Sullivan's is certainly one of them. The service was very good, and the entire staff tried to make our visit a memorable one. My wife's Sea Bass entree was fantastic. It was prepared to her specifications, and it was the star of the evening. I ordered the Ribeye medium. The steak was mediocre at best, and was more like a sirloin. And, it was close to well-done. There are better steaks in Tucson."
Dined on 2/15/2014
"Very pleased with the overall experience at Sullivans even though we showed up late. They accommodated us and our guests without a hitch. The Drinks for the ladies and wine for us Boys was more than tasteful, it was perfect as Sullivans suggested. The Ambience was great, not too loud where you had to yell to hear table conversation but loud enough to get you in the mood for a good night out (which it ended up being at the end of it all)"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"We had a delightful meal at a reasonable price. Though the place was packed (with every table quickly reset and filled as diners finished and left), the service was excellent and the staff friendly. Food was excellent."
