The food was very good, but it wasn't hot, just warm. Service was slow. Several times we had to call our server over to take our order. Food took a long time to be ready. Patio setting was lovely.

I took my boyfriend for his birthday to Cielos. They were very timely and our server was very nice and attentive. The food tasted amazing and fresh. They also were so kind to serve us a free dessert for the birthday.
Denise
The food was fantastic. There wasnt one thing that wasnt five star. Everything we ate we loved. The service was very attentive and the atmosphere was great!

Delicious Easter Brunch! Invited my sister after her husband passed away and the ambiance was quiet, quaint and lovely. Prime rib and salmon were cooked to perfection. Colossal shrimp on the appetizer table, incredible bread pudding and pecan pie! We will be back!
Rebecca
The food was delicious and the patio was charming. I had the trout and my husband had a salad with grilled chicken. It was a nice way to relax on a beautiful day after a lot of walking at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. Service was prompt and friendly. I enjoyed the house margarita while my husband had a craft beer. They have a happy hour 3-6 pm. We had a dinner reservation at 6 pm.

I was early. Was immediately greeted. The Hostess had two tables put together and the took me back to our table. The wait staff was quick to get me water and a Pacifico. It was a bit of a wait for our dinners but the atmosphere and the Mariachis were so good I don’t believe anyone cared. 5 stars all around from me. When I get a little extra money, I will definitely be back in myself or invite someone to come with . Thank you for a great night
PS: I had the Salmon but it not within the options below. I just about licked the plate clean. Delicious!!!
Parking: Parking is easy. It’s a bit of a walk to the Restaurant but I loved how it is tucked in like it is.
Wheelchair accessibility: There were ramps to the back where we were. Made it much easier for my mother. Thank You

Had reservations for 1430 on Christmas day. We didn't realize the buffet closed at 1500. We were early and had two wonderful cocktails in the bar. Table not ready until 1445 in a dark room by ourselves WYF? With only 15 minutes to enjoy this barely tended to buffet. So we didn't stay for the food. Atmosphere was nice, bartenders were outstanding! 🥂😄
Cielos is a very nice restaurant nestled in the Lodge on the Desert. Breakfast buffet is tasty with real eggs, potatoes, chorizo, sausage, fresh fruits and breads. Staff Is attentive, and the decor is tasteful and well kept. I recommend Cielos.
Parking: Look for the Lodge on the Desert to find the restaurant. Parking is on the right. Follow the path in the restaurant.

Incredible green Chile Tamale! Their wild mushroom pasta I got last time was another great vegetarian option, but a little less flavorful. The drinks and dessert selection were great.
We went with a big group and they had great service too. Their decorations and atmosphere made it great for a large semi-fancy family dinner.

I have a personal policy of not dining at a restaurant if I arrive too close to closing time. However, their website states they close at 9:00 PM, and we arrived at 7:55 PM. Therefore, I was surprised when they informed me that the kitchen closes at 8:30 PM. They should either note this on their website or they misled us.
The service was good, but the food was subpar. My chicken was bland, and the mashed potatoes were cold. My wife ordered bacon-wrapped scallops; the bacon was charred and black to the point of being inedible. They brought a new plate without the bacon, claiming they had run out, and with a different sauce. The scallops were undercooked and lacked searing. The rest of the dishes were acceptable.
Our server didn't charge us for the scallops, but the experience was still disappointing. They have a nice setup with the fire and fountain outside.
I'll probably give them another chance, but not anytime soon.
