We had a few looks from those that didn't recognize us but it wasn't uncomfortable or anything. The space is fairly loud but we were able to still have a good conversation. They have a good beer selection on tap. The menu has plenty to choose from. I had the Flat Iron Steak and it was cooked just as I expected to be (medium rare), flavorful, and not over seasoned. The mashed potatoes were prepared as to not be too stiff but not too watery. No complaints there. I look forward to stopping in again. It's a great local place.

It made me sorely miss my family's horses more than I already do. I got the patty melt with two patties, onions and cheese on rye. It was freaking amazing. My wife got the Friday fish fry which she loved. We did a pretzel and the beer cheese dip. Wish the pretzels were bigger like BJ's Tacern as we had to get a second delicious pretzel to kill off the AMAZING beer cheese dip. Pretzel size not withstanding I'd totally get that again as it's the beer cheese was possibly if not definitely the best I've EVER had. They also had a damned decent beer selection. I've seen much better but my wife and I found options we liked. Considering how picky we are with beer that says something. The service was amazing. Attentive, fun and professional. Jennifer was our server and she was amazing. She checked in at every opportunity and when she was busy others checked in with us which was great. All in all I'd totally recommend this place. Not super fancy but the food and service was top shelf with a VERY decent ambiance.

Server came over right away with waters and asked if wanted anything else to drink. We needed a moment to review the menu and he said he'd be back. Our server was amazing throughout the evening. Knew the menu and the drinks very well and was so nice! He seemed to be waiting on a lot of tables, but didn't look stressed at all. We decided to try a few different apps and go family style. We had the tuna crudo, sonoran squid, wings, tuetano and brussels. They were all amazing. For drinks we tried one of ciders on tap, the paloma and the lychee rose. All very good! And then for dessert, we had the chocolate cake. Delicious. We will definitely be back; I really wanted to try the salmon, but we were too full - good excuse to return. The speakeasy, Afterlife, although a short walk down a hallway, seemed like a totally different atmosphere. And you couldn't hear anything going on in the restaurant while I was standing in there (just checking it out). Very cool vibe. We will definitely be back! One of our new favs! Thanks for a great meal.

Thank you for responding. I want to clarify a few points because I think some of my review may have…read morebeen misunderstood. First, I will absolutely own that I may have misquoted the mocktail by a dollar or two. I was looking at the alcoholic drink pricing when I wrote the review. However, my criticism wasn't simply whether it was $13, $15, or $16. My issue was that there was only about a $2 difference between the mocktail and its alcoholic counterpart, while the mocktail was served in a relatively small cocktail glass. I actually thought the drink was good. My concern was the value and portion at that price. The larger issue for me was the restaurant's presentation of its food. I understand and agree that Arizona has a very broad culinary landscape. But when a restaurant specifically uses descriptions such as "Arizona Known Food" and "Tucson Local Food," there is a reasonable expectation that diners will experience flavors and culinary traditions recognizable as Tucson or Arizona-inspired. Tucson has a very distinctive food identity, particularly its Sonoran Mexican influence, along with Indigenous desert ingredients and traditions. That's what I understood I was coming to experience when I read the menu and restaurant presentation. If the concept is actually Arizona ingredients interpreted through Indian flavors and techniques, I have no problem with that. I love Indian food. But I would expect that to be communicated somewhere on the menu or in the restaurant's description. I didn't see anything that led me to understand this was an Indian-inspired interpretation of Arizona cuisine. Instead, we repeatedly experienced very strong lemon aromatics and what we perceived as Indian-inspired spices throughout the meal, the fries, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes, burger and other dishes. Those flavors aren't inherently bad. The issue was that they became repetitive and, to us, didn't taste like the Arizona/Tucson fine-dining experience we believed we were ordering. I also want to address the mole, because I understand my use of the phrase "mortal sin" offended you or others. If it did, I sincerely apologize. That wasn't my intention; it was an expression of how strongly we felt about the dish. However, I do stand by the substance of my criticism. Mole has an expectation attached to it. Fine dining can absolutely reinterpret traditional dishes, but there is a point where a dish has been changed so substantially that a diner can reasonably question whether it is still recognizable as the dish being advertised. For us, this did not come close to what we expected when we ordered mole. My husband disliked it so much that we asked to replace it with the burger, and the mole ultimately went uneaten. We were also disappointed that the original mole remained on the bill after we made the substitution. The same issue applied to the $55 ribeye, which arrived poorly trimmed with a significant amount of gristle and fat. The mushrooms again carried that same strong lemon/Indian-inspired flavor. The $16 carrots were also heavily influenced by that flavor profile, and the potatoes didn't work for us either. The Brussels sprouts were actually the standout dish of the meal, which is why I specifically mentioned them as the best thing we ordered. I also want to make clear that I did compliment our waiter. He was kind, pleasant and lovely. My criticism wasn't directed at him personally. We also weren't the only diners who seemed disappointed that evening. The couple seated beside us ultimately canceled the remainder of their food after the salads, which reinforced our feeling that the experience wasn't simply a matter of our personal tastes. Ultimately, this was a nearly $190 dinner for two, and at that price point, expectations are naturally high. The restaurant is attractive, the concept is interesting, and I genuinely wanted to like it. That's why I was disappointed. I'm happy to acknowledge where I got something wrong, including the exact mocktail price. But that doesn't change the central point of my review: the experience we had did not match what we understood Nex to be presenting as Tucson/Arizona fine dining. If you're willing to look into the billing issue, particularly the charge for the mole after we changed the dish to the burger, I'd be more than happy to speak with you directly by phone and discuss it. I'm always willing to have a conversation and give a restaurant the opportunity to address a legitimate concern. I appreciate you taking the time to respond, and I hope this clarifies where my criticism was coming from.

I know I just posted on Tandem, but this must be told, lol…read more Birthday dinner tonight at Tandem. The prime rib was succulent, perfectly seasoned, and medium rare. The stacked scalloped potatoes are unlike any you've ever had: creamy on the inside and crisp on the edges, and asparagus, my fave. We shared the gluten-free flourless chocolate cake with chocolate syrup and real (of course) whipped cream. Sorry no pic of dessert, but we went after it the second it hit the table, lol. So so good.

We got seated immediately with menus in the bar area and the bartender was our server for the evening. He was super knowledgeable and gave recommendations and let us know about the specials which was mozzarella sticks with a bacon fat marinara to which we ordered. My husband got the prime rib cheesesteak, I had a burger, and my friend had the lobster roll. I expected the mozzarella sticks to come out first but they came out with all of our food which was fine. The mozzarella sticks really lacked luster the breading was un flavorful and the bacon fat marinara sauce was actually not good either. The burger was maybe 4/10 they just cook the burgers well done - I was never asked how I wanted my burger. The bun ended up non existent half way through. The chips were interesting I think they must fry them in the bacon fat or a blend because the same flavor was in the marinara sauce which wasn't good. Hy husband loved his cheesesteak said it was great. My friend loved her lobster roll, she agreed with other reviews of the ratio of butter and mayo was great vs ones she has had in the past. We all didn't eat the chips. I think if they were fried in a regular oil it would've been fine or given the option of just plain fries would've been a nice substitute. It felt wasteful. Loved their large bar selection, would've loved to see a mocktail on the menu.

They got back to me right away and were very friendly and encouraging that they'd help me out. When we got there, it wasn't busy at all, so we didn't need a reservation. It was a bit disconcerting that the hostess didn't know anything about me having the reservation, but like I said, it wasn't busy at all. We put a couple tables together and had all the space we needed. The large garden setting was spacious and lit by strings of lights which created a nice ambiance. Every table was in the shade by the time we arrived, so if anything, we should've dressed warmer. Our server was friendly and answered our questions. The menu isn't huge, but there were a couple of things I could have with my dietary needs. I ordered the chili burger on lettuce instead of a bun. I upgraded to the Tuscan salad for my side for an extra $4. I asked for some ranch dressing on the side for dipping my burger. My hamburger was very well done, almost to the point of being burnt on the edges. It was hard to cut with the plastic knife I was given. The tiny bit of Tuscan salad was disappointing. It tasted ok, but was definitely not worth the upcharge for the amount I got. So, my meal was disappointing and unsatisfying. The people we ate with would probably rate the place higher than I did because they enjoyed their meals and I didn't hear much complaining. My husband got the Reuben with fries and enjoyed it. The sandwich had a sweet taste to it, perhaps from the apple on it or their sauce. The ones who ordered nachos got a gigantic portion of those. When we got our bill we saw that there was a charge for the little side of ranch dressing. It would've been nice if they'd told us when we asked for it. It might be fun to go back when they have live music.
