Re: “Claire's Cafe”
We used to frequent Claire's for breakfast when we lived in NW area about 5 years ago. We had to be in Catalina early on a recent Saturday and thought we'd revisit. First clue should have been how empty the place was for a Saturday AM. Food and service sucked. Don't know what happened to this once great place.
Re: “Malibu Yogurt and Ice Cream”
This place is great, the yogurt is creamy and good. They have fat free, dairy free, and low calorie/carb options. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to visit a beach themed atmosphere with tasty yogurt. Yay for Malibu
Re: “The Eclectic Café”
Our Saturday night date night place.
Re: “Something Sweet Dessert Lounge”
A great and varied dessert selection, but their coffee really leaves something to be desired. Good coffee is a must for a good dessert shop.
Re: “Jason's Deli”
Jason's Deli has closed in Tucson. The franchisees have gone out of business as of May 30 2010 at both locations.
Re: “Colors Food and Spirits”
Fun crowed but don't come for the food. You'd do just as well eating at a truck stop. Seriously! They basically serve up greasy grill grub. But again, nice enough crowd.
Re: “Something Sweet Dessert Lounge”
Their service is so slow that I walked out without trying the desert. If I was to ever return to their business I would for-sure take my sleeeping bag.
Re: “The Cup Café”
The Cup Cafe is one of my favorites. I am a regular. Great food and speciality drinks.
Re: “Delectables Restaurant and Catering”
Worst Service / Good food. We arrived a party of 8 on a recommendation from a neighboring restaurant. Upon entering the empty dining room I assured myself we would have good service. The menu looked great and after some time waiting for simple bus service, we ordered appetizers and drinks which came out very quickly. After that the server was non existent and I had to get up 3 times to get some one over to our table and the main course took over 45 minutes to get out, 2 plates at a time. The head chef did come out to our table and offered an excuse that the pasta we ordered took extra time to boil water for ( really ???) . I guess the guaranteed %20 tip was enough for our server to justify her totally ignoring us. An offer of free desert or the free stale cookies and brownies they gave our kids is not enough to make up for very poor service. WILL NOT RETURN
Re: “Café à la C'art”
An excellent place. The setting may not be Arizona macho, but the food is superb, the staff is overwhelmingly pleasant, and the prices are reasonable. Lunch out doors on a pleasant day is about as good as it gets.
Re: “Cottage Bakery and Cafe”
I keep on hoping this place will catch on since its on my side of town. The set up is fun and comfortable, great for small get togethers with firends. The food however is uninspired. The baked goodies are great, but if your looking for a light meal its not so great. Not horrible, just plain and sometimes not as fresh as I'd like.
Re: “The B Line”
I've eaten at the B Line a hundred times. Their weekend breakfasts are great. (Try the crepecakes -- even if you don't like pancakes you'll love these. And the biscuits are fantastic.) The fish tacos are the best in town. The pasta alla vodka (or try it with half-salad) is amazing. Deserts vary from great to awesome. Don't neglect the microbrews on tap.
As for the price, it's higher than you might expect an average fare -- but the B Line isn't average, it's really good food. The quality of ingredients is extrememly high (organic greens, high quality chicken and eggs). I expect to pay a little more for food that is this tasty and good for the planet.
Re: “Feast”
Our favorite restaurant in Tucson. Really excellent and imaginative food, in a terrific space. Doug Levy is a fantastic chef, and a warm and friendly host.
Re: “Delectables Restaurant and Catering”
I have to admit I don't go here often enough, but when I do I love it! I always have a fresh and delicious salad, they have great iced-tea and end with a yummy chocolate chip cookie. Anytime someone suggest lunch on 4th I opt for Delectables. Plus have NEVER had a problem with the staff, they've always been very friendly. The atmosphere inside is nice and soothing and when it's cooler we like to sit outside and just relax and enjoy 4th. Delectables is Delectable!
Re: “Delectables Restaurant and Catering”
Call me crazy, but none of these reviews accuratley deplict my numerous, positivley wonderful dining experiences at Delectables...My husband and I cherish the soft and sensual lighting, music that dosen't overpower our conversation, the wait staff that know when to approach and how to service our table without interupting our mood enhanced by a wonderful selection of wines and accompanied by flavorful, fresh and savory salads and entrees. The owner is hands on, has been in business for over 20 years and would certainly welcome any opporutnity to satisfy her guests. My favorites are the more classic, original Delectables menu items; Greek salad, Tabbouleh, Chef Salad with feta and house dressing, Exotic Turkey salad with pineapple and celery all accompanied by fresh, french bread. The evening entrees such as the Crepes are flavorful, moist and portions are sufficient especially with the desert heat.
I encourage folks to speak up and talk with the Owner, or Manager if their expereince falls short.
Re: “Delectables Restaurant and Catering”
ate there several times, service was slow and once my chicken was undercooked. Never go there again.
