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.

Very poor service. We sat down and waited about 25 minutes before I called over the host to ask for our server. Turns out they only had one wait person working the whole restaurant. I should add, we drove an hour to get there. We left knowing this situation was bad. Never had a chance to even meet a server. I would say management is to blame for not scheduling staff accordingly. Very disappointed.

Very confusing. They advertised 2 seatings 11:00am or 1:00 pm. We arrived at 10:45 for an 11:00 am reservation. We were told that the food was in a different room and would be available in 15 minutes. At 11:15 we were given a thumbs up. Unfortunately the food was not ready, some of the offerings were not prepared yet and the line was confusing. Very difficult to navigate in and out of the room. Food was cold and not very good. Because all of the advertised selections were not available on the first go around, it was difficult to want to stand in line for one item. The service was good not great. Value for the money, not worth the price. First and last time supporting lodge on the desert. For $350 it was a real disappointment.

Service fair. A very limited menu and it is not their style to make any menu changes. I asked for turkey, lettuce, and tomato instead a club and that seemed like a difficult ask. I said leave it on the focaccia bread just take off the bacon. It was served on whole wheat and not much of a presentation. It started to rain and we were outside and it took a long time to get the bill settled. Over $20 for an below average sandwich and less than pleasant service. And forget anyone asking you for a refill on your beverages.

The food was very good, but it wasn't hot, just warm. Service was slow. Several times we had to call our server over to take our order. Food took a long time to be ready. Patio setting was lovely.
