Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Oro Valley

**Review of The Keg** I had an outstanding experience at The Keg! The service was impeccable—our server was attentive, friendly, and made the evening truly enjoyable. Now, let’s talk about the food. I know what you’re thinking: *Who goes to a steakhouse for a veggie pot pie?* Well, I did, and it was incredible. The pot pie was perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and packed with hearty vegetables. It definitely exceeded my expectations. My boyfriend went the more traditional route with steak, lobster, mashed potatoes with bacon, and calamari. Every bite was delicious, with bold flavors and sauces that were clearly handmade. The calamari had the perfect crispness, and the steak was cooked exactly to his liking. Even the smaller details were excellent—the salad was fresh and vibrant, and the bread (made from scratch) paired perfectly with their rich, creamy butter. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but the quality of the food and the overall experience make it worth every penny. If you’re looking for great food, attentive service, and a memorable night out, The Keg is a fantastic choice!

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely lunch at Vivace. I have a couple of dietary restrictions and our waiter was so very helpful and understanding with making adjustments to my choices. Since I cannot tolerate canola oil, he made a salad dressing of olive oil and balsamic vinegar which was wonderful. He also assured me there was no canola oil in the entree I ordered and adjusted the ingredients as I requested. He made certain our meals met our expectations. We enjoyed the bread pudding which he kindly split for us. Thanks for a lovely birthday lunch!

Wonderful restaurant outstanding food & service. However, for whatever reasons, our area had fruit flies all over the place. Very annoying!!

Took a friend for lunch. His first time at MAB. He couldn't say enough how well prepared his meal was and how good the staff was. Excellent value in these inflationary times. He's now another loyal MAB customer. Steve M.

Food was not as good as it used to be. I asked for extra greens, and it looked way to sparse. The Calamari plate had more "other" things on it and less calamari. Service was great, ambience good, noise level reasonable. Not as happy about the place as i used to be.
