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.

We tried out Cielos after seeing it on Open Table new lists. It was great. A lovely property with good seating inside and a great patio outside. The menu was unusual and delightful. We always look for exciting menus with new selections. There was a jazz band who were very pleasing and I cannot say enough about how great the wait staff was for us. We will return !!

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.

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.
