    Thoroughly enjoyed our food quite a bit at Elliott's on Congress on a very wet and rainy night,…read morethis past November. I forgot which night it was now since we stayed in DT Tucson for Tour de Tucson from Thursday to Sunday. Oh, Actually I think it was a Saturday night because I remember wanting to go somewhere that had TVs that would show the Vegas F1 race. We got a table without reservation and they didn't have anything F1 on TV.. so we started just watching from our phone but then I noticed one of the main TVs above the bar started showing F1.. Now, I don't know if the servers of Elliott's were that observant and awesome or, they were already planning to show it once the race started... I choose to believe that our server was so awesome that she noticed we were watching F1 race on our tiny phone and put it on TV for us!! Honestly, just for that, 5 stars in my book. What also is a bonus is how good their food is. Sometimes you get nervous going to a local bar because food is not always good...though the people who run it and the place might be fun. However, you get all of the above at Elliott's. We ordered some mussels (cooked to perfection, not overcooked at all), pear salad, pineapple cider (delish), fish tacos, and steak. Everything was pleasantly yummy and the star was the mussels, which I did not expect to taste this fresh and delish, talking about setting low expectations and be pleasantly surprised! Overall, highly recommend. It did get darker and lots more busy and loud as we finished dinner and the Vegas F1 race finished. Def the place to bring people and friends to hang out and enjoy good food!

They infuse their own vodkas and have a great selection of flavors, like cucumber, mango, ginger, coffee bean and even horseradish. Most recently I got a cucumber soda and it was great. Perfect for summer time. They also serve food, and while it's been a while since I've dined here, I remember the food being good. The service is also solid. Overall, good vibes, good vodka, and good service! Will be back!

The server was friendly and the ice cream wasn't bad but it wasn't something that blew me away. Also we had initially wanted an affogato but the espresso machine was down. This review is solely based on the ice cream though I do think the interior looked fun/elegant to dine in and try food. I would be interested in giving this spot a try for the food and drinks.

    Dining here was a great experience for a first time in downtown Tuscon…read more The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and service were fantastic. The Prime Rib fries were piled high and tasted great. The Buffalo wings were cooked just like I like them...extra crispy. I asked for the Buffalo sauce to be on the side. The wings aren't seasoned so the flavor is all in the sauce. Seated by the window made a fun time people watching as we enjoyed the downtown view. This place is more spacious than I anticipated. The bar area is sectioned off from the main dining area so there is plenty of seating. My waiter Robert was really awesome. Took great care of me and my sister's dining needs. He suggested dessert but we were too full to try any. So he suggested to sample some of their ice cream before leaving I went over to the ice cream shop which is right at the entry/exit door. I waited but no one came over to sample. After a few mins of waiting, I left and will have to try the ice cream next time.

The small plates were just the right size. The oysters were perfectly prepared; I could almost taste the ocean. The shrimp Al Ajillo was out of this world. Be sure you say yes when you are offered extra bread to dip up the sauce. Husband had the Ropa Vieja and thoroughly enjoyed it. We shared the Patatas Bravas and ordered extra garlic aïoli because it was so good. The space is pleasant with outdoor seating and indoor seating with a huge rollup window that lets in the fresh air. The staff is very friendly. This will definitely be a must return spot when we come to Tucson.

The…read moreserver was really personable, however, it did not make up for the food we tried, unfortunately. We got a lot of the dishes, and I personally felt that the flavor was very minimal. The only dish I really enjoyed, was the patatas bravas. The rest are as follows: - Iberico Jamón board ($27) : I would have enjoyed the bread toasted, and a better assortment of items on the board that may have paired better. I didn't enjoy the jelly with the apples and the olives. I also feel that the board is not filling enough for the price tag. I tried an array of their dishes, but only really liked the potatas bravas ($11). I also got the croquette ($14), the sautéed chicken ($13), and the bacalao pil pil ($15). I thought the chicken and then croquette were just okay, and could've used more flavor. I really didn't like the fish, as I had a fishy flavor to it that was really pronounced. A couple at my table did like it, so we were split with me and 2 others that also felt as I did. The staff here was really friendly and I wish I enjoyed more of my meal. My friend and I still had a great time.

    It's only halfway through 2026, but I already know this will make my Top 5 restaurants of the year…read more It brings me such joy to happily pay for food that truly deserves its price tag - and I'd gladly pay more. So many higher-end expensive restaurants serve bland, tasteless food, meanwhile this amazing mid-ranged restaurant is serving some of the best dishes I've ever had. The smashed chicken was probably the best chicken dish I have ever had at a restaurant. The skin was perfectly crispy while the meat was juicy and well-seasoned. The ginger and herb salsa verde was so fresh and aromatic. The cilantro rice complimented the lemongrass aioli perfectly. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and I'm usually one to reach for the salt shaker at most restaurants. Smoked olives are a concept I have never considered before. It's a concept that was executed perfectly here. So savory, flavorful, and complex. I'd love to have a few with a dirty martini. Speaking of drinks, my Casino gin cocktail was great. Perfect level of sweetness and tartness. I knew I had to order dessert after how good everything else was, even though I am usually not a dessert person. The oolong tea cake was nothing short of incredible. The tea flavor was subtle but paired well with the fluffy and light honey buttercream. Not too sweet at all. Of course, the service was great too. Our waiter was very attentive and personable. My first experience at 5 points made me realize that this is what restaurants should strive to be. I can tell there is passion poured into every dish with every ingredient thoughtfully melded together. I can't wait to bring everyone I know here so they can experience this too!!

Even during the busy lunch rush with what seemed like half the downtown office crowd grabbing lunch, the staff was incredibly attentive and everything moved surprisingly fast. I never felt rushed, but I was still able to get in and out with plenty of time to spare. I ordered the Chipotle Green Chile Cheeseburger, and it was phenomenal! The smash burger patties were perfectly cooked with a great sear, and the green chile had just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the burger. I especially loved the smoky chipotle flavor. It came with their house-made chips, which were fresh and really tasty. I also ordered a sweet tea that was delicious and paired perfectly with lunch. Before I left, I grabbed a bag of the Raptor Tracks from the bakery case. I forgot to take a picture, but they were so good. They reminded me of Nutella Muddy Buddies and disappeared way too quickly. Great food, fast service, and a perfect option if you're working or spending time downtown. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend the Chipotle Green Chile Cheeseburger!
