One of the best restaurants in Tucson. The interior fuses Mid Century Modern design with a distinctly southwestern feel, and the food does the same, marrying classic American Bistro with southwestern sensibilities. Everytime I have visited this restaurant, every drink, every flavor, every possible touchpoint, has been flawlessly executed.

This restaurant is the absolute best in Tucson. It's not at all unusual for me to visit multiple times per week - it's just that good. The courtyard is super cute - string lights, often live music. It's shared with The Night Jar, which offers fabulous cocktails. Everything on the menu is delicious, but the steelhead and southwind bean salad are just incredible. The ambiance and food make this the perfect evening out in Tucson.

It's no secret that water is rare in the desert. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why the reliable oasis at the end of this hike is so popular. Others might include the spectacular views, the ease of access, and the varied terrain, from vast plains to rocky canyons.
