Tohono Chul Garden Bistro

So disappointed in the new menu. So sad their amazing chicken chille relleno has been removed!!!
And the service is always so slow. But the atmosphere is beautiful. Great place to just have cocktails.

The setting of this restaurant is 5 stars. Especially on perfect Tucson weather days like we have had this spring. Beautiful patio surrounded by lush flowers and greenery, birds chirping and lizards scurrying about. The service was probably 3 stars - we waited a long time to be greeted then again a wait to order. Food didn't come super quickly. Once it did come I don't believe we ever were asked if everything was ok. I ordered the "classic" which is eggs Benedict. It was garnished with cilantro which totally ruined it for me. There was no mention of cilantro anywhere and the Benedict or the omelet seemed like the safest options to avoid cilantro but I was wrong. ????‍♀️ Kids portion sizes were pretty good. I'd like to try it again just based on the setting.

Updated after 2 more subpar food & service visits: I would reserve this as a peaceful place to drink adult beverages (mimosas or margaritas).

Wow. Outdoor lunch doesn't get a whole lot better than this. We had lunch here on January 29th, 2020, with sunny skies and temps in the 60's. Hummingbirds came to visit nearby flowers in the adjacent Hummingbird garden. The food was absolutely wonderful. Chiles Roleno was delicious, and the quattro salades was great. The dessert was the Chef's whim which was chocolate flan which was out of this world. Great coffee. The wait staff was very nice. I don't know how they could improve.

Delicious unique dishes with fresh ingredients served in peaceful and charming location. Service was excellent from accommodating and knowledgeable waitress. This merits five stars.

The food is fresh, delicious and beautifully presented! A big plus for me is their prickly pear lemonade which is so good but not overly sweet as too many tend to be. It's not fast food so be patient and you will enjoy a very lovely meal.
