I'm not sure who these folks are with these horrible experiences lately? Our server was a top-notch professional! The cocktails were delicious. My burger was perfection. The Paperadelle pasta was flavorful. The piano player set a great mood in the bar. I'm not sure how the experience could have been better. So glad I ignored the recent reviews and went there to check it out for myself.

What a unique dining experience! Loved the beautiful historic ‘old Tucson' decor & building inside and out. Staff were professional and friendly. Food artful & delicious, prepared by experts. Thank you sincerely.

Bar tender is offensive and rude will absolutely never go back there again. There was no need for the extra negative comment that she said specifically when people are drinking.

A friend and I met for lunch here today after a 4-year absence and had a mixed experience. On the upside, our waiter proved to be one of the best I've had worldwide -- pleasant; knowledgeable about the offerings; attentive but not to the point of hovering; and helpful. The patio setting showed off the grounds beautifully with a lush green lawn, sporting a lovely border of flowers and the inn's distinctive salmon-colored buildings providing a backdrop. Only two other outside tables had customers at 11:45 a.m. and just one customer occupied a table inside. We seated ourselves and our waiter came immediately with menus and place settings. The menu seemed to be light on offerings, compared to our previous visit, but there certainly was enough from which to choose. I had been looking forward to a veggie burger, which had wowed me in the past, but this was no longer a possibility. Though we're aware that prices have gone up throughout Tucson, we considered $10 for a small bowl of soup and $20 for a basic quesadilla without additions for luncheon fare to be a tad costly. My friend chose vichyssoise soup and Brussels with panna cotta ($18); I opted for the quesadilla. She said her selections were excellent. I thought my choice was mediocre at best. The quesadilla, in three pieces, featured a huge amount of cheese that oozed from paper thin flour tortillas. Other ingredients, such as diced tomatoes, appeared on the side. I disliked both the taste and consistency and ate only a small amount. We each ordered a brownie for dessert, but neglected to ask the price. They proved to be fresh, delicious and quite rich and came with a few pieces of fruit. When the bill came, we learned that the brownies cost $12 each. With one coffee and a diet Coke, the final cost for lunch with tax and tip was $105, an amount that would keep me from returning unless it was a very special occasion. Currently (Dec. 6, 2022), the Audubon Bar is the only place, where the public can order breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Arizona Inn. No reservations are accepted. The inn's lovely dining room remains closed, likely because of a lack of necessary staff. Plenty of free parking exists -- a large lot and nearby street spaces, limited to 3 hours.

I have fond memories of this historic Tucson icon with many delicious meals through the years. However, lunch today was practically inedible. I ordered the Caesar Salad and was served mostly brown tinged chopped up romaine with very few edible pieces and tasteless bits of tomato. Frankly I should have sent this mess back. I'm shocked that this was even sent out from the kitchen! Our waiter was very good and it's not in my nature to make a fuss. However, this was unacceptable and I am incredibly disappointed. I left a voice mail for the food and beverage manager but of course, have not heard back. Shame on whoever thinks this was an acceptable plate of food to be served to a guest.

Our dinner the first night was exceptional and server, Ruby, was personable and very professional. We were sad to see the restaurant was not busy as our food was absolutely excellent. Breakfast the next morning was sunny and pleasant on the patio.
We enjoyed mid 20th century elegance in the dining room with service and menu to match. You will have a similar experience.

The food was prepared to perfection and the staff were courteous and professional. Our service was excellent and we were not rushed at all. The overall experience was very positive and we can highly recommend this restaurant with confidence.

Everything was wonderful and to our liking, except: When I made the reservation and when I first talked to the server, I said that we were celebrating a birthday for one of our guests from France and turning 80 years of age that day. Nothing was made special - a desert with a candle or whatever. Very disappointed that apparently no attention was given to our special celebration. We have not had this experience with past dinner celebrations. What happened?

We sat at our table for 20 minutes and no waiter/waitress came to the table. My husband finally got up from the table and went to the bar and placed an order for our drinks. We tried to flag down the hostess to ask for some help but she was busy the entire evening reading on her computer. Our drinks were delivered from the bar and we begged for a server. A waitress did appear and she did a very good job taking care of us for the remainder of the evening. But the first half hour was just so bad that it kind of ruined our experience. This was a Monday evening and the restaurant was not even half full. Perhaps they need to hire more servers or at least a hostess that could help out the servers. The food was good, certainly nothing exceptional. It is a lovely restaurant though.
