    Firepit area

    Beautiful patio dining and atmosphere is fantastic. Menu is pretty simple with an entire page of sushi options. We only visited Ignite this trip for dessert by the fire on night and coffee and after dinner drinks the next. The churros weren't anything special and the chocolate sauce that accompanied was very runny. Service was good.

    We recently stayed at the Ritz Dove Mountain. We ate at Ignite three times. We really enjoyed the sushi, cocktails, fries and may of the shareable. Service was consistently great.

    Went here last Monday evening with my husband and a couple friends. It was after a small monsoon shower, so it was a little cooler out. After a lengthy drive, we were excited to get a good view of the scenery while taking in some delicious bites. However, upon arriving and asking for a table outside, we were told that everything was wet so we would have to dine inside. There was a lot of staff standing around, so it did feel like they could've dried a table, but I digress. The menu was small and not very impressive to me, but I ordered a charcuterie board. My husband ordered the Ahi tuna tostadas from the shareable menu. The 2 tostadas seemed pretty personal sized and not a shareable size as advertised. Others at the table got the southwest salad and the salmon and tuna Poké bowl. The bowl looked pretty good. I also got the painkiller mocktail and it was delicious until getting to the bottom half which had an interesting flavor I can't describe, outside of no longer delicious. All in all, the restaurant was okay. (For the small charcuterie board, tostada plate, mocktail, & a sprite), We paid $86 for this "meal" :/ (including an 18% tip). I'd be interested to try the others in the area for a better value/experience.

    Oytstanding service! loved the cheesecake and the cocktails. nice ambience from the patio next to the firepit. The view at JW Marriott Starr Pass overlooking the twinkling lights of the city is better, but still this is a nice getaway far from civilization.

    Great food, great cocktails, great wine selection, great service and great atmosphere with occasional evening entertainment. If you're at the RC Dove Mountain, Ignite is a solid dinner choice, and since they don't take reservations it's walk up only. You wouldn't necessarily think the middle of the desert would be a good place for sushi but they have fresh sashimi grade stuff flown in daily and a legit sushi bar adjacent to the cocktail bar with chefs making it to order. I am picky about sushi and this is good sushi. The nigiri was very good, obviously fresh.

    This is the restaurant in the lobby of the Ritz. The menu is pretty good...lot of sushi options and lots of other good stuff! I ordered the avocado fries and they were SUPER GOOD! I order the avocado tacos and I added grilled shrimp...they were just ok as was the service. Our server was not good at all and hard to find. I ordered a bottle of Panna Water and I couldn't find her to ever get my glass refilled when normally the water is placed at the table while you eat. So it was a good food experience but this being the Ritz Carlton I did feel service in the lobby restaurant should've been much better.

    Our first night here at the ritz we decided to have a dinner at ignite we sat outside and had a traditional native flute that was great not loud but just great ambiance. We had a server and assistant waiter never had one of those before but great service by them. Didn't get too crazy of drinks just a local beer and wine. We started with grilled shrimp and naan bread which tasted amazing. The wife and I split 2 sandwiches a burger and chicken Sammy. Both filling and great flavor I would sure hope so for $30+ dollars each. Only nock is the price there should be more options less than $30.

    Maybe it's the live native flute music echoing in the canyon. Maybe it's the way the sunset turns the saguaro lined mountains bright pink. Maybe it's the fire pit and the cool desert air at night. But everything here is always just right. Excellent menu options. Excellent service. We've noticed many of the associates at Ignite are the same nice folks on every return visit to the resort, which seems to say something about how the restaurant is managed.

    Quick lunch at Ignite restaurant was very good. I enjoyed the salad and the service.

    A special restaurant in a beautiful hotel. We ordered a cheese plate, a few drinks, and some edamame and watched the sun go down. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. I've been here previously and gotten larger food dishes ranging from sashimi to hamburgers and fries, and everything has been good.

    Delicious sushi! We enjoyed our rolls and nigiri so much! It's the Ritz so a little pricier but was worth it.

    Ignite was fire! From start to finish, they did not miss a beat. From the hostess desk to the servers to the live musicians and of course the cooks, everyone worked harmoniously to create a magical experience. My husband and I shared a few dishes. We ordered the following items: fried avocados (A+), Caesar salad (B+), Burger (A), ice cream sandwich (A+) and churros (B). If you're staying at The Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain and wish to dine under the stars at a stellar restaurant, then look no further than Ignite.

    They have really great food and amazing atmosphere,the only unfortunate thing is they're very short staffed and the people who do who eat here can be difficult.

    I love love love this place! It's so loungey make me think of a stripper bar meets an old world…read morenight club. The service is good the chairs are comfortable and they can have some really fun music. The food is great and they have happy hour prices early. This area was amazing back when I was a little kid, it's the missed opportunity that the people of Tucson abandoned. Most of the old hotels and motels are gone and the area has been brought out by gem show people. I'm glad they took care of this place and it's a little bit of old nostalgia of Tucson. Gus and Andy's still on the tile floor.

    Decent sized parking lot. Be forewarned, this is a come-as-you-are joint...they welcome ALL...if…read moreyou can't play nice with boys-as-girls when they show...find somewhere else. Ambiance/Cleanliness- Loved it!! Dimly lit, true lounge with great decor. It's a little like upscale dive bar meets strip club meets The Peppermill Lounge in Las Vegas, but its own vibe. Clean where it needs to be. 4 stars Service-Hanna was the BEST, taking time to listen to food/drink requests and make solid, helpful recommendations. Circled back a couple times to check status. 5 stars Food-Inconsistent. Devils on Horseback bacon wrapped dates were fire, perfect crunch on bacon. Coconut shrimp needed to be butterflied. Mac n Cheese was wonderful, pulled pork on top needed spice. The patty melt patty was inexplicably rubbery. Nutty buddy cheesecake was perfect. 3 stars Will go again. They have AYCE spaghetti on Mondays.

    I've eaten at a lot of places around here, and Pub 1922 never disappoints. Their fish and chips are…read moreeasily the best in town. Crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor every single time. Their burgers are HUGE, and packed with flavor! You can tell they take pride in what they serve. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and makes you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit. The beer is always ice cold, the restrooms are clean, and the whole place has a welcoming, laidback atmosphere that's hard to beat. If you're looking for great food, cold drinks, and genuinely good service, Pub 1922 is the place to go. I'll definitely keep coming back.

    We visited Pub 22 for dinner after not having been there in a long time…read more After being seated, we waited approximately 20 minutes before anyone came to the table to greet us or take our drink and food order. During that time, other guests who arrived after us appeared to receive service before we did. I ordered the steak and cheese sandwich, and my wife ordered the chipotle chicken Alfredo. The food arrived about 15 minutes after we ordered. My sandwich was acceptable, but the chipotle chicken Alfredo was not prepared well. The chicken was overcooked, and the sauce had thickened to the point that it affected the texture of the dish. My wife was unable to finish it. We were also there during happy hour, which was supposed to include $2 off all drinks. After reviewing the bill, the drink discount did not appear to be applied. Because of the amount of time we had already spent waiting, we chose not to raise the issue at the restaurant. After asking for the bill, we waited about 10 minutes and had to call the waitress over again to request it. Based on this visit, we do not plan to return to Pub 22. We try to support local businesses, especially since there are limited dining options nearby, but the service, food quality, and billing accuracy during this visit did not meet expectations.
