    Great view of the mountains, friendly servers, nice patio, and on Saturdays there is live music. The food is good. Your typical cafe fare. Nice place that locals gather!

    Delicious & rich caramel cake
    Melissa C.

    We live just outside of Sun City and have dined at The Views several times, including with friends and family. As implied, the views of the Catalinas are amazing! I don't know if we've just been lucky, but we have not experienced the service issues that some other reviews mention. Many restaurants are facing staffing challenges now, so perhaps it just depends on the day. My go-to dishes here are the green chile quesadilla, catalina grilled cheese minus the bacon, and pan-seared salmon. The food always has been good, and I appreciate that it can be accompanied with a nice glass of inexpensive wine. Oh, I also must mention the dessert special. The caramel cheesecake was rich and delicious! With decent food and amazing views, we'll continue to pop in periodically.

    First of all, the 25% off the bill for checking in on Yelp was a bonus. We chose the restaurant for its proximity to our condo. When we checked in, with a delightful hostess, the discount popped up! Our waitress Eden was pleasant, informative and efficient. She wrote down the discount - her first time encountering one. She brought our drinks right away, and returned for our food orders. Niece ordered the bagel & cream cheese (including salmon, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and hard boiled egg). Husband ordered the Sun City (scrambled eggs, plain pancakes, and bacon), and I ordered the waffle with strawberries & whipped cream. Orders came quickly, delivered by a very nice young lady. Eden returned to fill Niece's coffee cup. She'd brought extra hot water for me earlier, for my tea. Food was very good! Niece didn't eat all the salmon (so much!) or tomatoes (again, so much!!). Husband shared some of his bountiful breakfast with me (scrambled eggs were fluffy and excellent). My waffle was light and good, with just enough whipped cream and sliced strawberries (didn't need syrup). When we paid our bill, our 25% discount became the tip with another $2 for extra special service and food. Before leaving for our road trip, we used the clean, stocked bathrooms. Outside, we enjoyed the plants (flower looked like conch shell) and views.

    Corned beef Reuben Sandwich with sweet potato fries
    Ileana C.

    Came here due to the great reviews. First off I want to mention that there is a check in coupon but the restaurant refused to honor it. They actually blamed yelp for it. Beyond that service was prompt. We started out with the shrimp cocktail which was very traditional and tasted fresh. For entrees my companion had a Reuben with a side of sweet potato fries. Very delicious. I had the strawberry balsamic salad. It's spinach with pecans goat cheese and vinaigrette. I had the large. It was great for a lunch portion. Neither of us had any left overs. We indulged in desert as well. They have a nice selection. Our choice was the brownie sundae and the chocolate chip cookie sundae. Neither the brownie nor the cookie were warmed but the sundaes didn't suffer much from it. The brownie was soft and very moist. The cookie was crisp. The vanilla ice cream it says is made in house. It was quite good. All topped with a nice helping of whipped cream and a cherry on top for good measure. The restaurant is clean and unassuming. There's a variety of dishes to choose from so I'm sure most will find something they like and I believe it will be pleasing. All in all it was a very satisfying meal topped off with a most beautiful view of the surrounding mountains.

I will shamelessly have a couple $3 High Lifes. There's only one big bar in the center of the lobby, but service is generally fast. It's dimly lit and can be tightly packed, but you'll still have fun. Good for date night or groups of four or less. No food, but once in a blue moon you'll find a truck parked out front. Overall, a solid Tucson staple.

I'd probably come back for the appetizers and drinks, but would skip the steak next time.
