What a beautiful eatery this is ! Loved the ambiance . Service was great . However , I would not recommend a vegan to eat here . I had to make sooo many modifications and 2 of 3 modified orders were incorrect . ( my salad still had cheese sprinkled in it & my falafel plate had sauce that wasn't vegan ) . Yummy but just too difficult to modify here. All I ask for is just one entree on the menu completely vegan I don't need to modify . read more

Fantastic food and atmosphere. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a wide selection of cocktails and other alcoholic beverages. Our waitress was very attentive and our food arrived quickly despite a packed restaurant on a Friday night. If you're thinking of getting to short rib dish you won't regret it! read more

The patio is lovely! The short rib ravioli is not to be missed, and the service (during a windstorm) was impeccable- felt well taken care of and moved indoors without fuss. Thank you for making this a lovely evening read more

Stopped for a late lunch with a friend and shared plates. They actually divided the plates for us! Poke and short rib ravioli were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend - you won't be disappointed. read more

This is a top end restaurant on Oro Valley, AZ. We met up with friends at Wildflower and had a lovely time. First, I want to say I had a cup of pea/bacon soup which was delicious. I then had Short Rib ravioli dinner which was an excellent choice. My wife ordered AhiTuna Poke...delicious. My friends had Fish & Chips with French fries. Fish was moist and tender. They frequently come to Wildflower so they had high expectations. We ate outside in a cool mist. We could hear our conversations outside. Difficult to hear inside.Wine list has plenty of wines to choose from. All in all the meal for us cost $80 for two which included wine, beer and the soup. Honor credit cards. Plenty of parking. Waiter was solid. We enjoyed our dinner. I hope you do as well. read more

Had a solo date day and decided to pop into Wildflower finally! It was packed for lunch so I sat at the bar which was open amd comfortable. The bartender/server was attentive and chatty even though it was busy. The beet salad was vibrant and flavorful - the chicken was a great add (but a woman next to me got the same with salmon and it smelled AMAZING). The cocktails are good and everything seemed well portioned and priced. Would love to go back for date night. read more

Nice classy restaurant with good service. This is a place good for all occasions and all ages. From meetings to dates, this will work and have food suitable for all. The bread is superb. So soft, fresh and warm. Entree portions are on the smaller size. Probably designed for you to have enough room to enjoy a 2-3 course meal. I took a star off because the calamari batter wasn't all that good. I was very surprised by this given how nice this restaurant is. The dessert was also mediocre. Part of an outdoor mall place with good parking. read more

I refer tried Wildflower before because my favorite restaurant used to be next door. Luckily, the demise of Charro Vida brought me to Wildflower's front door and I was really happy to find several vegan options on the menu. The Market Mediterranean was a great choice. Charred cauliflower, crispy falafel, tahini, and a few other ingredients made for a nice combination with a lot of flavor. I usually hate quinoa but want mad about having it in this dish. I would be happy to come back for the same meal in the future. read more

Excellent food, service and dessert! Love it!! Recommended make a reservation if you're planning on visiting during the weekend

My girlfriends met up last evening for girls night and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was welcoming and engaging. It was a bit noisy, but not to the point that you had to raise your voice to be heard. Our server was attentive and did not rush us. The food, as always, was perfection! read more

Wildflower - For dessert, treat yourself to Bars of Sin. You won't be disappointed! - New American Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Super cute restaurant, conveniently located in the Whole Foods shopping center on Ina and Oracle Roads. The menu literally offered something for everyone from beef to fish and in between it was very tasty and the service was very speedy and professional. The only thing that I could say was I ordered tuna poke and I thought the portion was a little small for the price. But the quality was excellent. And frankly, I probably should've ordered more food :-) - like an appetizer or a dessert. I would definitely come back here and I see they also have a nice patio, which would be excellent for Summer. read more

Let me start by saying I really enjoy the food here! Some of my favorite menu items are the lemongrass skewered scallops, calamari, short rib ravioli, and the Bars of Sin dessert. However, the indoor seating area of the restaurant is always just so loud and busy every time I've been here for dinner that it disrupts the atmosphere. You can never have a conversation with others at your table and people at the tables next to you shout to try to have conversations. If it's cool enough to sit out on the outdoor patio with the fans/misters or warm enough with the heat lamps, I would recommend that. Be sure to make an advance reservation as they are typically busy any night of the week. read more

Great food and great service. The menu was excellent and included vegetarian options for our guest.

Another yelp find while I was in Tucson, wildflower made for a great place for a business dinner. Took some colleagues here and ended up on the patio because the restaurant was packed. It turned out perfect. The patio was a little quieter for technical conversation and the food was great. The restaurant also had a large variety of vegetarian and pescatarian options for one of my friends. Great service as well. read more

This is such a great place for a patio brunch or lunch. They accommodated our group of eight very graciously. The setting was lovely and felt like the special time we were celebrating with old friends. We were all happy with our selections, which included vegan, gluten free and vegetarian. The Spicy Strawberry Margarita and the Fig & Ginger Mule were terrific brunch libations. It was a busy Sunday afternoon, but that was not a problem, as nobody was in a hurry. I've had lunch, brunch and dinner here and recommend Wildflower for enjoyable and satisfyingly special dining. read more

Went here on Tuesday evening with a friend about 5pm-ish (an hour before happy hour ended). We had to sit on the patio due to reservations , which I was skeptical about but the shade and misters actually do a pretty good job keeping the patio cooler. We ordered the Brussel sprouts and shared the burger on the happy hour menu. Both surprised us in just how great they were! The Brussels I was worried about being too charred as I've tasted more often then not... but they weren't! They have this sweeter glaze on them that's apparent and a bit of spice from the chile, and well bacon, can't go wrong with that! The burger blew us away! I would usually stay away from mushrooms but decided to try this and was not disappointed at all. The flavor was NOT there to play! We both ordered deserts. She got the donuts which were soft and warm. I loved the custard it came with. It was very light and paired well with the donuts I thought. I ordered the strawberry olive oil cake which are two flavors that would typically draw my attention. The presentation was 10/10 and the taste was up there too! I love how the cake was moist, and came with a scoop of gelato! The buttercream, mint and strawberries were also great additions that paired well and weren't over the top! Great meal! read more

The food was very good, service was top notch, we had Daniel as our server and he was very helpful, attentive and made our experience enjoyable. We sat outside on the beautiful patio area with the misters and it was comfortable with a pretty decor.

I visited Wildflower for the first time with coworkers and loved the charming decor. The food was excellent--we enjoyed the potstickers, shared the macaroni and cheese, and I had the roasted chicken.

The atmosphere is great and the service is good but not great considering the price. Parking is easy and they have a decent patio, no view. The food is good but not memorable, I would say it's consistent. Nothing to wow you here, people like it. It is never my choice to come here, but I don't mind it. Not minding something is not the same as liking it. I'm indifferent to it. The saving grace is it's pretty and I think that lets them off the hook with most people. If someone really wants to go here I will join, but it will never be my idea. read more

3+ for the food 5 stars for the service- our waiter was awesome, attentive. We've eaten here before and given stellar ratings but this time we weren't as pleased with our choices. The bread, and oil was great, spinach salad was good, soup was also, chicken moist, red wine fair. Pot stickers however were too salty to consume. Our waiter was kind enough to take them off of our check. We usually stop in here whenever we're passing through Tucson and most likely will continue to do so. read more

We came in for lunch since we were in the area, not knowing what to expect. When you walk in, the patio makes you feel like you are in a different state with all the trees and vines. We were quickly seated and serviced from Jesus. He was very knowledgeable about the menu. We started with the soup of the day, had the salmon and short ribs (both were incredible) and ended with the oil cake and a scoop of gelato. My son and I decided that this is our favorite restaurant in Tucson. Everything about our experience was perfect. I'd highly recommend, whether a stop in for lunch or a nice date night. read more

I had not been to wildflower in 15-16 years and it's still as good as I remember it. My partner had the short ribs and they were so tender and delicious. I had the pistachio crusted port , which was a little tough on the thin part but I was going to east it anyway because it tasted so good. Our server insisted on the chef remaking it for me. Such great service!! If you need a great place to go that is upscale yet casual, this is the place read more

Consistently good & remains in my top five of restaurants in the Tucson area. Last visit was scallops and they were delicious and cooked perfectly. Staff always does a great job. They know their menu, they know their wines and they know their business. Go team go! read more

This is a great spot for celebrating special occasions--it has a refined, upscale vibe without feeling pretentious or stiff. The updated menu offered more choices for me as a vegetarian who eats salmon and follows a gluten-free diet, which was a pleasant surprise. Our server was kind and professional, though the service didn't stand out as exceptional. That said, the appetizers were excellent--the aioli artichoke and the Brussels sprouts (which they kindly served with the bacon and Parmesan on the side to accommodate my dietary needs). The ahi tuna poke bowl was fantastic. They were out of white rice, but substituted black rice, and it actually worked really well. The salmon entrée, on the other hand, was a bit of a disappointment. While the fish itself was cooked beautifully, the cherry glaze was overly sweet and completely overpowered the dish--it felt like my salmon was "swimming" in it. I even had to ask for a new plate to separate it from the sauce. I'm giving it four stars mainly because of that glaze--I personally prefer my salmon more on the savory side. One more note: when we made our reservation, we were asked if we were celebrating anything, and I indicated it was a birthday. However, no one acknowledged it, which felt like a missed opportunity to add a special touch. Overall, still a lovely experience with delicious food and a thoughtful menu--just a couple of details that kept it from being a perfect dining experience. read more

Very cute restaurant, we're glad to have dined outdoors on the front patio. The indoors, while nice, felt overwhelmingly loud as we waited for our drinks at the bar. It was hard to hear each other. The drinks were well mixed, and the food was great overall! Some minor wishes to meals like my short rib ravioli could have used a tiny bit more salt and the macaroni could have benefitted from something textural. I loved the scallop dish and thought it was nicely balanced. The yellow tail crudo and smoked salmon hashbrowns were delicious! No notes there. Olive oil cake was also nice, I liked the acidity brought on by the raspberry coulis (would've personally loved more!) The service was also attentive. Would recommend! read more

Wildflower is a must visit- hands down! A friend of mine suggested that we meet at Wildflower for dinner while I was in town. I immediately noticed the warm and welcoming ambience as we entered the restaurant. The location has outdoor seating with misters. It was nice to see an accommodating outdoor seat option for the Tucson heat. I can tell you that I didn't sit outside in 106 degree weather. Wildflower's menu offers an array of menu options. After hearing menu recommendations from our server, I went with the Braised Short Rib. BTW... the server was ridiculously awesome! I don't remember his name but I remember him reminding me of George Michael, who I am a fan of. He was attentive the entire time we were at Wildflower. I haven't received restaurant service that good in a long time. The Braised Short Rib was ahhh! This translates to being so good I couldn't find the words. The beef was tender and the bordelaise added the perfect amount of sauce and flavor to accent the tenderness of the short rib. For dessert, I ordered Banoffee Trifle and ahhhh! Yes, another one! This dessert was absolutely divine. The Dulce de Leche mousse really elevated this dessert. It was smooth and decadent. I am already planning to visit this restaurant again the next time that I am in Tucson. The food here is delicious and packed with flavor. read more

I finally got to try this place on a work trip! It was everything I could have hoped for and more. I had a reservation for my coworker friend and I but she was tired at the end of our workday - I called to cancel about 15 min before our reservation time and put in an online order instead. I had the scallops and was not disappointed in the least. One could argue that scallops should not be ordered as takeout but ya gotta do what ya gotta do sometimes! And in this case it was a big 'W!' Their parking lot is adjacent to the lot that Whole Foods uses as well as Frost and a few other businesses so parking was a bit of a challenge. Not a big deal - can't wait to return! read more

Wildflower - Shrimp & avocado plate - New American Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The main reason I took off a star was for service. Our server felt robotic and lacked any personality. It was altogether a very uncomfortable experience. I don't know if she was new and unsure of herself, but she followed a very monotone script and delivered it with no personality. She was nice enough, but it was to the point of submission where I felt awkward as a customer. We ordered the lemongrass skewered scallops and pan roasted chicken. The scallops were phenomenal and it was the first time I had ever had soy butter. I would definitely order it again. Where the scallops were cooked perfectly and I would recommend, the chicken was dry and lacking anything special. A big selling point of Wildflower is that you can see in to their kitchen. It definitely falls in line with their marketed "new American cuisine" with "European influence". It's a beautiful space that I hope to revisit (and not order the chicken). read more

It was a beautiful night at Wildflower and one I will remember fondly! I was celebrating my 11 year anniversary with my husband and the staff went above and beyond to make our night special. The patio is LOVELY! Warm lighting and blush greenery made it feel intimate. Our serve brought us fresh bread that I had to make myself stop eating. We ordered a bottle of wine, the chicken pasta and short rib. The food came out in a timely manner, and it was divine! The chicken pasta was full of different flavors, the pasta handmade and to our delight wasn't heavy at all. The short rib was luscious; it was seasoned well and fell right off the bone. I enjoyed all the vegetables around the meat as well, they were caramelized to perfection. We had a WONDERFUL night and only wish I had room for dessert. If I had to give the tiniest bit of feedback I would say I wish I had more cushion in my seat. We sat in the long seat on the back wall. We took our time lounging after our meal and I would have wanted a bit more comfort. We will come back! read more

Came to celebrate my sister in laws birthday. Booths were available but we were told they were taken for reservations so we could sit outside or at the bar. So we sat inside at the bar cause it was so hot outside. It took a while for the bartender to get to us - I'm sure he was busy attending his tables but it was too long that I had to look around and call for a server / bus boy to get us waters. So important in this hot heat... Eventually the bartender - a sweet and lovely man took care of us! Has been working at this location for a while. Had good recommendations food wise. Here is my sis in laws review and then there will be mine. Hmmm, the Mac and Cheese was immaculate 8/10! The Yellowtail Crudo was probably a 7/10. Yummy but it was a little tough and I wish it absorbed more of the sauce. The cauliflower was so good and healthy too! 9/10 And my dish, the salmon was good. But it didn't really compliment the salad. So I think it was like 7/10. Also, dessert! 9/10! I wish they gave a few more raspberries Mine - The yellowtail was like a 6.5/10... I didn't understand the crunchy and the over did it with the sauce. Like the sauce was too much. Presentation wise I feel like they just cut up pieces of fish and just threw it on the place along with the sauces. The Mediterranean cauliflower was a 9/10. It's always so yummy and even better the next day! Salad was good but the salmon threw it off... your salad was sweet and then the salmon was like warm and salty and I was like hmmm... The desert (not pictured) Bars of Sin was sweet. Really chocolatey. I also wish there was more raspberries. read more

I live in Marana and Wildflower has been one of my favorites, until now. My lady friend was visiting Tucson, first time from Atlanta, so I made a reservation a week in advance for August 9th. They placed us in a table facing a brick corner, far from any air flow or misters. The service was barely adequate. Wrong salad delivered, the "starter" arrived about a minute AFTER the wrong salads. Then the entrees did not arrive for almost an hour after the salads as, we were told when we enquired, the chef had screwed up the scallops my lady friend ordered and had to start anew. Ultimately the scallops arrived and were good, however my pistachio encrusted pork must have been sitting under a heat lamp the whole time as it was fine, well if you use Denny's or Golden Corral as the standard. (make sure to ask for a very sharp knife if you order this). The waiter comped us for the salad snafu, but the manager on duty couldn't be bothered to stop by and find out why we still sitting there eating as they were clearing all the outside tables. Such a disappointing experience for such an expensive and previously nice place. read more
