Beautiful ambiance sitting outside on the patio with live music. Food is excellent 👌

I have been going to Rita’s for over 25 years. I always take out of town guest there plus go there every special occasion. Have made friends with the service staff and look forward to our lunches there. I am a Marriott Boundless card holder and stay at Marriott’s all over the world.

Last week I booked an outdoor table for lunch and was surprised to find that I had to pay an additional $20.00 to reserve an outdoor table. I felt this was a real insult. To add insult to injury I had to cancel because of my wife’s health problem. Marriott kept the $20.00 fee.

Fortunately I live in Scottsdale AZ and there are many other great places to eat and stay.

Very good quality food, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Happy hour has sliders that I highly recommend. The chicken quesadilla was great too from regular menu! The service was nice and staff are friendly.

Rita’s was a great experience! I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and we were not disappointed! They sat us right in front of the water fountain where the live music was, and it was beautiful. The music wasn’t overpowering at all and the musician was so good! We shared the chips and guac trio and both got the waygu burger and agreed it’s one of the best burgers we’ve ever had. The cheesecake was also incredible. Food was great, service was great, and the atmosphere was perfect! We definitely plan to come back.

This bar is just amazing. I usually sit at the bar and the Bartenders (Tim and Brendan) are just outstanding. If you are in the area, check them out.

The atmosphere is super relaxed, with lots of casual seating available inside and outside, plus a bar that’s perfect for eating.

The staff were welcoming and helpful. The food was excellent, and the mocktails were delicious. I had the Cactus Water, which was really tangy and refreshing.

Absolutely beautiful location for breakfast but the food was average and the service disappointing, not as we remembered. Dora forgot our juice and had to be reminded. Then both she and the waiter reached right across my wife to deliver my food. Such poor manners! And then later in the meal we realized the waiter had mixed up our meat and veg orders, to which Dora replied “sorry about that”. There needs to be better training for such a classy location

Lovely patio with Mummy Mt views Enjoyed a club sandwich with a fresh crisp salad, trio guacamole/ salsa app and the Carne Asada burrito bowl. All tastefully prepared with wonderful, attentive service from Rita. We'll be back soon:)

We always have a wonderful dining experience at Rita's and this was just as wonderful! My son proposed to his girlfriend at dinner and our server presented them with a beautiful dessert platter! So very thoughtful!!!

Always an outstanding breakfast as we come back every year from Toronto to see your amazing chef that makes the most outstanding French toast and omelettes! He's the best!Service by all your staff as well is incredible.

RITA'S CANTINA & BAR. (Arizona Restaurant Week - Review) My first visit, but definitely not my last to Rita's Cantina & Bar inside the JW Marriott Resort. What a fabulous location with stunning views, beautiful people, incredible service, and most of all, delicious food. While this was my first visit, I was thrilled to enjoy the wonderful Arizona Restaurant Week special menu. My selections included a black truffle quesadilla as my starter which featured wild mushrooms, Brie, Gruyere, petite salad, and chive crema. My entrée was the Adobe Short Rib which was literally melting off the bone. It rested on a cauliflower purée, with pickled cauliflower, sweet garden peas, an adobe demi-glaze, and pepita chimichurri. My dessert was simply perfection. The classic Tres Leches plated in a contemporary and beautiful way. The sponge was soaked in Leches spirited rum, and topped with crowns of mascarpone cream, lechees gelee, spiced mango slices, and candied pine nuts. My meal was complemented with a delicious skinny margarita all served by a very friendly, warm, and wonderful server, wonderful server named Jenn. The outdoor setting was wonderful as we were serenaded a beautiful talented musician. Highly recommended. @everyone Scottsdale AZ Foodies Scottsdale AZ Happenings Arizona Restaurant Week RecreateNow Marketing & Storytelling
