Terraza Garden Patio & Lounge at the Hacienda Del Sol

I would warn anyone that the room is very noisy. In addition, we were told our table requesting a quiet area had been given away even though we arrived exactly on time. If you want to have a conversation, wait for warm weather so that you can be on the patio.

Service has improved 100% over last year. There were managers checking on tables frequently. Food and service was excellent. The previous Happy Hour menu is no longer available which is too bad. Current tapas menu is not that appealing. Prices are a bit high, but the ambience is worth it.

Its a great venue. The wait staff outstanding. I was disappointed in the quality of the food. The temperatures for most of the good was barely warm. We were surprised given our dinner several weeks ago was excellent.

I really like dining at the Terraza Garden Patio & Lounge... especially because of the great southwest ambiance and the nice servers. When we recently met friends there, I was disappointed in the lack of seasoning in the seared ahi salad (for which I ordered more vinaigrette dressing) and the trout entrée. On the plus side, the service was excellent, and the HH red wine very tasty. We'll keep going back, but would like the chef to know that they should spice up their dishes (not to be spicy hot, just more seasoned).

We were disappointed with our evening to Hacienda Del Sol. We Had a reservation and still had to wait 10 minutes for our table.
The food was very average with limited menu selections. Service was less then timely too. We won’t be coming back.

We waited 20 minutes for our drink order to be taken and at least another 20 for our dinner order to be taken after we flagged someone down. No apologies were offered.

We dined outside on the terrace. Was a very pleasant evening. The restaurant has an early dining menu, and we ordered entrees from that. The food was outstanding. We had a Caesar salad and shrimp as appetizers from the Terrace menu.The Caesar salad was so fresh. The shrimp were huge and extremely fresh tasing. My husband had the beef short rib. Very tender and flavorable. Unfortunately the accompanying polenta was bland. The kale was tasty. I had the lobster fettuccine. What a great dish—homemade pasta, creamy sauce, and lots of lobster. The service was excellent. There is live music too.

Great live music! Check out Cynthia Hilts on piano! What a Tucson gem!

Bing greeted us upon our arrival (and saw us off two hours later;-) ... So friendly and helpful!!

Brendan was our A+ server. He gave us lots of great suggestions and timed coming back to our table perfectly each time.

Had an excellent dinner of tasty tapas and slow roasted prime rib in the cozy beautiful Southwest inspired bar.

We had a wonderful dinner. We loved the three different menus they had, we just wish they were all on one sheet or menu card. The service was excellent and the ambiance is perfect.

Our server, David’s timing was poor. Although he knew a fair amount about wine and the complicated menu, he seemed to disappear at times. He did say he had a table at the pool as an explanations.
The wine and wonderful food could have made up for his disappearance, but my partner’s coffee was wrong and my caramel latte was room temperature. The lemon pound cake was brought to our table by someone other than our server. The pound cake was the best .

The food was outstanding and the waitress was very attentive and showed that she enjoyed waiting on us.

The service was average. Had to ask for water refills multiple times. (same with the coffee both mornings we were there). The tuna was super fishy and we asked for a different meal. The ambiance however was outstanding. Beautiful hotel and we would definitely stay there again.

My mom was visiting from out of town and I love to bring out of town guests to Hacienda del Sol. And while the atmosphere makes the experience wonderful, I find the food most often falls flat for me. The menu always seems so interesting and unique but when it doesn’t ever seem to impress my taste buds. For example, we ordered the cauliflower and shishito peppers. To start the cauliflower was basically raw. Calling it al dente would be kind. Next, the peppers were roasted, whole. And there was a huge pile of peppers. The sauce was on the plate and though it was tasty, it didn’t stick to the veggies well. It just wasn’t very satisfying or delicious. I would have preferred the peppers roasted, peeled, cut up, more sauce, served with bread or crostini. I did take the peppers home and made a frittata! Nothing else we ordered was delicious, just ok. Sorry for the critical feedback. And it might just be my own taste. But I can say this is my fourth visit and each time I feel this way about the food.

Great service and tapas (and other plates for sharing). Good selection of cocktails and wines. Scenic views from the patio. A great location.

Everyone on the site, from the Valet parking staff to the gardeners were cheerful, courteous and very helpful. The gardens are breathtaking. It was a wonderful first visit and we can't wait to return.

We have enjoyed an occasional visit to Hacienda del Sol during our two years of part time living in Tucson. We love the ambiance of the outdoor seating and appreciated the delicious and reasonably priced happy hour selections. On our most recent fall 2018 visit, the first since spring of this year, we were disappointed to see that the prior happy hour menu had been replaced by a Tapas Menu. The selections were different and the price/portion ratio had gone in the wrong direction. Food was tasty as always. Still a great place for outdoor eating but just more expensive now. Would like to see the old happy hour menu come back...

Tapas were very good,nice for sharing. The piano music creates the nicest ambience.

Hacienda del Sol is my hands-down favorite restaurant in Tucson. It has everything I want in elegant dining from excellent service, great wine, special food, wonderful ambience, views and more views. The Terraza is quite a bit more casual but just as fine. I gave it 4 stars for service because things were occasionally a bit slow due to several parties there at the same time. But the wait staff stayed friendly and calm.

Great spot, good food, great service but the hostess was not only rude but not amiable at all. Seems she wasn’t capable of a little flexability to make patrons happier.

It's an absolutely beautiful outdoor restaurant in the Catalina Foothills. I would categorize the food, however, as mediocre middle American food. I ordered from the tapas menu and I'm sure no one in Spain has seen tapas like those. I got one with a few veggies on top of some corn chips with sour cream drizzled on top. The other one was fingerling potatoes and chorizo swimming in some kind of cheese. Ugh. Couldn't finish them. Stick with hamburgers and drinks if you go.

Cigar menu not available. Complete disappointment, was planning to take my husband there for our wedding anniversary. Thankfully the staff compensated two on the house drinks. Unsure if we will return in the future. Hopefully the menu will reflect changes so others do not go unexpectedly.

Unfortunately the menu has been totally changed and there are no longer light, healthy options available. They have recreated the inside restaurant outside, which is not why I go to the patio. Everything is heavy and sauce laden.

Made reservation for the Grill. It was closed for renovation work. Was not informed that the Grill was not available when we made reservations, or upon arrival. Ordered steak-for -two and it was so-so. We probably should have gone for the individual steaks.

Unbelievable! This restaurant has had good reviews on Yelp. All I can say is that they are understated. The service and food preparation were well beyond expectations. The chef at this location is tremendous. Not only was the food and service excellent, but all were unique preparations - one of a kind. We highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be returning. The ambiance of the entire establishment is very special.

I would say the food is good. I have had both mediocre food and excellent meals here. The grounds are beautiful and make the experience complete. The patio is lovely and wonderful views. The only issue with this recent trip was the FLIES. They were totally obnoxious and made sitting on the beautiful patio rather unpleasant. I don't know if there is anything reasonable that can be done about this.

Good food, service and great entertainment. The duo performed recognizable songs at a level where you could hear their singing but still talk with friends without having to yell.
Very pleasant evening.

Would be great if there were more vegetarian and vegan dishes on the menu. Choices are very limited.

Fun atmosphere. Very good food. Excellent music. Romantic place to walk around after your meal. Outstanding value. We will definitely come back!

Very poor service, noisy, food was poor. Waiter was uncooperative, not helpful.

We have been visiting the Terraza Garden Patio for many years. We much prefer the ambiance of the old patio over the new patio. The new patio with removable panels is not nearly as charming as the old patio. While we enjoy live music, the volume of the music was so loud we could not hear each's conversation. It was to the point we hurried through dinner and left. As soon as we walked into the bar, we both felt relief and I can only imagine how noisy it would have been for those staying in rooms near the pool and patio. We are in our early 60's and know 'loud' music from our younger days, but this was not enjoyable.

Open the panels on the patio enclosure and lower the volume of the live music and we will be back.

We went for the band and had an enjoyable evening. Service was good as was the food.

Always excellent food and the views are amazing! Also the pictures in the hallway are a glimpse into the past.

On this visit we were celebrating my husband's birthday. We've been here several times and it is the first place we take visitors. As always, the food was fabulous, service was excellent and the entertainment was perfect. Service was attentive, never rushed and did a beautiful presentation of dessert for my husband. The food is always great and there is always something interesting to try. This place is a gem. Equally perfect for a special night out or dropping in for an afternoon . can't wait for my birthday in August so we can do another "special event". but we will be back before then for more casual times.

I’ve dined here several times over the years and feel that it’s gone downhill over time. Ambiance is not as great, nor is the food.

Food was delicious. One person was brought wrong meal so it’s not right when 2 people are eating and the 3rd is waiting because the waiter ordered wrong meal. It was very nice desert was on the house. Best ice cream “ever “

Hacienda Del Sol is an historical masterpiece. It is one of the must places to dine with out of town visitors.

We usually enjoy our light dinner and music at Terrraza however this occasion was not one of them. We sat inside as the music on the patio was way to loud. The choices for wine are not as good as before and the prices for the wine and food were on the high end for just appetizers and salads. The guacamole and salsa were even disappointing . Hope they improve their menus and food quality for next time.

Beautiful setting and comfortable during the warm evenings. Food could be a little more interesting and varied, something with a tapas-type menu.

Great service! Will come back~
