Dine- in, takeout and deliveryWed- Sun 12:00PM-9:00PMAt the heart of the vibrant Tucson gastronomic scene is a quaint, family owned restaurant that has made a name for itself by combining the classical French education of Executive Chef Steven Schultz with the flavors of traditional southwest cuisine. Driven by the vision of casual fine dining that he shares with wife and Maudi Gourdin, the pair have managed to make The Wild Garlic Grill one of Tucson’s premiere destinations for food lovers from all walks of life. That all too familiar aroma of garlic will titillate your senses from the moment you step through the front door, followed instantly by the pageantry of Chef and his crew hard at work in the open kitchen where you can watch your meal as it is prepared. One can sense the warmth that emanates from their comradery and dedication and it doesn’t take long to notice that the front of house staff shares the same passion. It’s almost as if they are one big happy family…

Vivace is our special occasion place. It is expensive but the service is great, they have a good wine by the glass selection and 4 older women with very different tastes in wine and food can all find something they enjoy. If you’re looking for the latest trends in fine dining this may not be for you but if you want a carefully prepared dinner with top quality ingredients then Vivace is an exceptional choice.

I tried to order the chicken salad but they were out of chicken at noon on a Monday. Very strange. The pasta dishes my dining companions ordered were great. I tried the arugula salad with salmon. The salmon was fine but the rest of the salad was boring.

Our table was not ready when we arrived, but it was quickly cleaned up soon after our arrival. The service was exceptional. The food was delicious. We ordered the sangria and it wasn’t as good as I remembered the last time I had it, but it was fine.
