This was our first time at the Ritz Carlton for dining. It was our 22nd Anniversary. Our server Nick was attentive and took great care to explain things and offered a sampling of 2 wines for our choosing. The chef comp'd us an asparagus appetizer and a cute little bon-bon dessert. It was a bit pricey for us but as the saying goes "you get what you pay for". The food was overall exquisite. The Avocado Appetizer was out of this world and something I will never forget.

Wonderful service, food, and ambiance. Beautiful setting. My wife has allergies and they were very attentive to work around them and modify meals as appropriate. We love the food and seasoning with local flavors. Wine list is excellent, but expensive.

My wife and I had a beautiful dining experience at the Core Kitchen Ritz Carlton. After dining at all of the Tucson Resorts, this has been the finest by far. Everyone we encountered were absolutely the nicest and most professional. Lisa, our attendee was very helpful, especially in fulfilling our cocktail order. Thanks again Lisa. What a spectacular Christmas Celebration at The Ritz Carlton.
