"No excuse for the lack of service, attention to detais, or making a BAD sandwhich. What the heck are they thinking? Do they every try their own food?"
1) "details"
2) "sandwich"
3) "even"
Re: “Nothing to Relish”
I had the EXACT same experience when the restaurant opened. I have not been back. I wrote the owner a personal letter. I am sad to hear that little improvment has been made. This is a great location, my office is close by. No excuse for the lack of service, attention to detais, or making a BAD sandwhich. What the heck are they thinking? Do they every try their own food?
Re: “Nothing to Relish”
@jbuchman - have you tried Yamato at 1st and Grant for sushi? The sushi chef is from Nagano and he makes everything in-house. I have yet to be disappointed by his sushi.
Also, Com Tam Thuan Kieu adjacent to Lee Lee Oriental Market is great for Vietnamese - IF you stay away from pho (but, then again, they are a com tam place).
Re: “Nothing to Relish”
Sad to say but your overall disappointment with this particular establishment resonates with most of our dining experiences (I would say 8 out of 10) since moving to Tucson over a year ago. When we have pleasant surprises we share via online reviews. Sad for us is what appears as a lack of authentic ethnic cuisine (we have found 2-3) and then such an over abundance of standard or sub standard pub food. Do people really enjoy these china buffet places? And I've given up on authentic sushi? I haven't had any in Tucson yet that doesn't fall apart, crumble. Just very sad.

Bella D'Auria bit the dust and closed their doors after less than a year. A message on their web site blames the economy.

@Burnie, with MEAN the operative word :)
Re: “Tucson's Restaurant Renaissance”
There is a reason why no one mentions Elliotts.... food is terrible.
Re: “Soggy, Sweet and Slow”
I heard Amy' Bakery re-packages a MEAN sopapilla
Re: “Soggy, Sweet and Slow”
Its been years since I had them, but El Minuto on main had some pretty good sopapillas that I can recall.
My kids liked the ones at la parrilla suiza, but I can not vouch, as I do not enjoy anything there.
And Asianhomecook is right, poco and moms is awesome, so if they have them, its a safe bet, but I have never tried them personally.
Re: “Tucson's Restaurant Renaissance”
So I wanted to take my husband out to the new Proper for his birthday this Tuesday. I called for a reservation and was told they only take reservations for 6 or more people, but not to worry, the wait is generally only 45 minutes to an hour. Guess I will have to find 4 more people if I want to check this place out, meanwhile we're going to Feast instead.
