Core Kitchen Wine - Marana

We had thee best evening here! It was my Birthday and my husband brought me here for a dinner we hoped would fair better than anything we?d experienced prior pandemic! Well, it rocked. We are both excellent chefs so it?s easy to disappoint us. Our waiter was Ramon and he was the most personable, and knowledgeable waiter we?ve had in sometime. Thank Goodness I asked him about the entrees because I was going to order something that would?ve been way too much for me to eat. And I got the tenderloin and it was amazing. My husband got the lamb and I couldn?t stop asking him for another bite. The lobster appetizer was to die for and our bottle of wine was delicious. My dessert said happy birthday and was adorable as well as delicious. Our waiter made our evening along with just lovely, lovely food. Everyone was ridiculously accommodating. Will return soon.

Another amazing place to go and eat at the Ritz Carlton at Dove Mountain. The food was out of this world. We ate there 4 times while staying at the Ritz. Steven was the beat waiter I have ever had. He was so knowledgeable. Thanks Steven for making our experience even better. Definitely a place to go check out!

We had a wonderful dinner on a beautiful patio with a fabulous waiter, Ramon! His service was impeccable. He was so helpful with the menu. Our Cactus Ahi appetizer was the coolest and tastiest ever! Check the photo! Really fun and jaw dropping presentation that was sooooo good! My steak was a perfect cut and cooked to perfection with a subtle sauce that really brought out the flavor. My wife had a seafood risotto that was so creamy and stuffed with fish and shrimp, scallops and mussels. Yes, the dinner was high end but they really did a nice job and the service and setting are off the charts!

Dinner with a view. Fine dining experience, but lacking the fine service. The restaurant was comfortable with views of The Saguaro covered Tortolitas. Our steaks were delicious and prepared as requested. We were celebrating a birthday that was acknowledged with a delicious complimentary chocolate dessert. There seemed to be enough staff, but our waiter would disappear. Our first round of drinks took 15-20 minutes to arrive and never had a chance to order a second. Then he left us waiting on the bill. The valet is a nice touch though.

A bit disappointed. Ambiance is great and service was generally very friendly and good. I was just a bit disappointed by the food? Avocado Cactus was very pretty, but the tuna was drenched in sauce and tons of mayo. The pork was nice, but slightly overcooked and unmemorable; I also found all the fruit kind of awkward. Dessert was a highlight with the peanut cheesecake. Can certainly have a nice evening here if you are staying at the hotel, but moderate your expectations for the location and price.
