About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
Cielos at Lodge on the Desert offers one of the best dining options in Southern Arizona. Dine on contemporary seasonal cuisine that pays tribute to Southwest ingredients. Complemented by classic craft cocktails featuring local spirits and a delectable wine list, Cielos is the perfect place for a romantic night out or a casual happy hour with friends.
The intimate space is framed with floor-to-ceiling windows and overlooks a spacious secluded Saltillo-tiled outdoor private patio featuring bistro string lighting, a four-sided, tiled fireplace for optimal year-round al fresco dining. Cielos and its Bar both reflect a genuine, richly authentic Southern Arizona historic charm and ambience including rough-hewn artist-design hand-painted wood beams, Mexican tin chandeliers, floating potted plants and shade sails.

    What a great old resort. We had not been to Cielos and did not even know it existed (we live in Scottsdale). Great find!

    We had a lovely time. There were six of us and the food was great and the service was excellent. There was a mistake made for one of our guests, but they could not have been more accommodating and agreeable in fixing it. We all make mistakes, the test is how we deal with fixing them. It is our third time being there and highly recommend this restaurant.

    Excellent Father’s Day whiskey dinner at Cielo’s cohosted with Delbac Whiskey. Great food and drink, really nice atmosphere in the restaurant’s Fireplace Room, and highly inventive whiskey cocktails. Would definitely go back.

    Rainbow trout had bones in it. One of our orders of short rib was very fatty. Meat loaf was dry and vegetables were not cooked fully. Very disappointing meal and especially for the price. Unfortunately will be the last time we visit here. Not worth the money at all.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants in Tucson. We love to get a table outdoors especially on a Saturday night to enjoy the live music. The food is always incredible and the servers friendly and attentive. On our most recent visit, everyone at our table very much enjoyed the Green Corn Tamale Hush Puppies! Love they they have some Arizona beer and wine offerings.
