Ashli was our server and she was personable and professional. We had the harvest salad, which was delicious, as were the sand dabs. We would definitely recommend Tonto Bar and Grille.

The food was very good. Dessert was awesome. Service was great. A little noisy and the wine list could be larger. Of what choices there were, they were good.
