Agustin Kitchen

Love this place, one of my favorites in Tucson. Delicious food, quality atmosphere and good service.

Went with four couples. Everyone was happy with their food. Noise level varies a lot depending on where you are sitting. Outside is fun with small band or instrumental and more families; inside dining can be noisy; inside by the bar may be the best. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Good bar. We have been enjoying the brunch items at Agustin Kitchen for two years now. From the mesquite pancakes, various egg benedict offering to the skillet. You can choose to eat on the patio or inside.

Located in a small, interesting shopping square, the menu was small but wonderful. Starting with Barrio bread - delicious bread with a fresh tasing pesto and compound butter. Curried soup was just the right amount of flavor and spice. Brussel Sprouts were done well in a balsamic dressing. Harvest salad was good. Standout was the carrot risotto - a healthy portion with a great flavor. Very nice atmosphere.

You will find interesting and creative dishes on the menu here as well as twists on old favorites. I find that dinners are exquisite at Augustin Kitchen whereas lunches are good, but nothing spectacular. To be fair, it could just be due to the daytime's ambiance, menu selections -- or a relaxed effort. At any rate I really enjoy coming here day or night. It's a good date-night restaurant.

The atmosphere was really nice - sort of old world meets modern design. Very cozy with lower lighting, allowing you to focus on your date. We started with the braised mushrooms, which were excellent. Very flavorful. I had the Carrot Risotto and my date had the veal. Presentation of the dishes were good, the flavors were also good. Somewhat on the rich side, though. Not as balanced as the flavors of the mushrooms. Service was attentive and friendly.
