Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Oro Valley – 2024

My family and I love eating here! Their green salad with Oregano, lemon juice & grilled shrimp, French fries are my favorite! In addition, their garlic chicken, beef kabobs and flan are amazing too! The owner/ chef is very welcoming and like to greet everyone by bringing their food to the table. All his staff & food are wonderful and is our new favorite place to eat!

Amazing place! Maybe the best lamb kabob I've ever had. Just make sure you give yourself enough time for them to cook because they make it fresh to order. Super friendly staff! They use fresh, high end ingredients so look to pay about $20 per entree. The large portions make it worth the price, and they even have family meal deals! The only knock is the atmosphere. It's lit with fluorescent lights and has an ambulance comparable to Waffle House. Take it to go and your family will consider you a hero.

Wow, talk about taking pride in the food. The chicken is succulent and juicy and perfect with subtle saffron rice seasoning that takes me back to the streets of Fes and Marrakech. Okay this isn’t Moroccan but the craftsmanship of the food here goes without saying. Come for a hearty meal and you won’t be disappointed with the grill masters perfection

Always excellent service and great food. The manager Lori , she is always amazing and her staff is awesome. The food never disappoints and the chips and salsa are always fresh. Update 10/02/2024 Just took my friend for lunch his first time ever eating at the restaurant he really enjoyed. We had a good time and again the manager Lori very friendly our waitress was amazing as well. Food and service was five stars.

All I can say is dang! The food was good but the service was amazing! We had the pleasure of being taken care of by Sophia, she was kind, polite, personable and so attentive. I think she was the best waitress I’ve ever had, ever! I’m definitely going to become a regular here for our weekly Mexican food outing because I feel like we have a new friend.

We visited La Hacienda Family Mexican Restaurant for lunch on a week day. We were seated immediately. Chips and salsa were delivered while we were browsing the menu. The food arrived piping hot. Portions were generous! The food was good. We had a lunch special combo, a lunch a la carte, and a beverage for under $30.

Delicious lunch today. Split the quesadilla and coconut shrimp. Both of us were full and took 2 shrimp home. Clean upbeat place. Waiter was right over food came out fresh hot and quick. Impressive menu. Will be back !

I met here with a networking group. I loved my happy-hour mini tostada trio choice, which was very reasonable. The person serving was delightful and attentive. The atmosphere was upbeat and a bit noisy for a networking group but we sat in the corner and still had a lovely time. It was my first time here and I was very impressed with the mini tostada trio. I'd love to try some of their other dishes. They also have an inviting outdoor patio dining area. Please note that they have a cash price and different credit card price so you can choose how you wish to pay.

We had an early dinner here yesterday, we happened to come in during the happy hour (2p-6p), the noise level was high but that's what I'd expect from a Sports bar venue. The prices are reasonable, from what we ordered my favorite were the La Paz fish tacos, they are delicious! Crunchy, not soggy, good sized portions and the toppings were just right too. The Mini Nachos not so good, the tortilla chips are really thin (like the ones you get at the grocery store, not home made) so they get soggy pretty fast. My husband ordered the Corn breaded shrimp and it was just OK, tiny shrimp but we expected that. They have a special on Fish and Chips on Fridays for $15 which we are planning to try next.

This restaurant used to be OUTSTANDING! But not anymore. We’ve been coming since they opened before the pandemic as we live a mile away, and unfortunately, in my opinion they have slowly gone downhill to horrible. Their deep red hatch chili enchilada sauce used to be so flavorful and full of spice— and plenty of it, but now it’s medium orange with no flavor (and very little of it). Last night my take out dinner of cold red chicken enchiladas was just plain awful.. I could only eat maybe half of it. I have let the last two or three “to go” orders go by as maybe the kitchen having a bad day, but seems like not the case to me. The portions have shrunk by 30% with higher prices. Rice has been mushy with no flavor—but beans are tasty. The side salsa container size guacamole was brown, must’ve been sitting out for quite some time. I had to throw it out and was charged $3.55 for maybe 1.5 tablespoons! The picture of the red chicken enchiladas on the website is not even close to what I got and have had before. I am so disappointed. I just can’t imagine what happened to this restaurant. Seems the owners and management must not watching the kitchen orders coming out. They should be tasting their food and over seeing orders. I used to order takeout once a week for years from here, but no more for me. Photo is of my red chicken enchiladas with barely any red sauce or chicken, with mushy rice, maybe 4 Tbsp of beans for $17. So sad. I made a sandwich instead.

Location is great and Chile flavor is awesome. I wish my plate would have included beans and rice for the cost $21 my waitress was great and very friendly/polite would definitely come back and order a side of beans and a few sopapillas next time

This place is DISGUSTING and full of RUDE staff. Please see pic below. That's supposed to be chicken enchiladas. Why would all the food be dumped into a container like that?!? I couldn't even eat it along with the chips and salsa. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! I stayed in Albuquerque for 4.5 years and WAS NEVER served such slop.

0 stars if I could, unfortunately. This place has gone significantly downhill due to recent changes I’ve been noticing. For starters, they made the worst possible decision of getting rid of all the support staff about a month ago and it’s very clearly causing the remaining staff to be overworked. This is delaying service significantly, you’ll see the servers running around to collect orders, clean old tables, seat new people, bring large parties their food, while bringing new customers their drinks. It’s too much. The new management seems cruel and out of touch to how a restaurant experience is supposed to be.

The food was good both times that I have been there but the service is lacking. It seems like they do not know how to work as a team. Maybe it’s the mix of young and older waitstaff….? But the customers should come first regardless. We waited for the “Hostess” to ring us up for about 5 minutes. She was in the restroom while 3 other people walked by and said she will be back.. ‍ The view is the best part!

The view was good with snow topped peaks on the surrounding mountains. Service was slow but there were multiple parties seated simultaneously. Food was fairly priced see pictures.

This Olive garden was so clean you could probably eat off of any surface and be safe. All the employees were welcoming and understanding of my disability. All around best Olive Garden experience I have ever had. The manager is extremely personable, and his staff is incredible! This last time me had Carlee, and she made my birthday so special, honestly because if her, this was ine of the best birthdays i have ever had. All of their food is fresh, and they make an effort to make sure nothing sits too long. I recommend this Olive Garden most out of any in town.

Today we pre-celebrated my mom’s birthday! As always we had an amazing and professional server Carlee. She went way above and beyond the call of duty to make today very special for mom. Carlee and the manager Rosario are the BEST!! Can’t wait until next time to see them, have amazing and delicious food and feel welcomed. Way to go!! The chefs made each and every bite taste amazing!!

The food is excellent, good taste and quantity enough to fill anyone. The service was quick and always asking if everything was ok. Money for the amount of food is fair.

Wanted to try something different for my Birthday & my goodness was it a "gift!" First impression...it's exactly what a good steakhouse should be. Colors, lighting, staff, layout, seating....homerun. Our server...ugh..something "Danni" was the absolute best. Attentive, charming, knowledgeable & made us feel at home. Every single one of us was just blown away with every part of our meal experience. Having the restaurant Manager personally greet each of us & make sure we were taken care of was just...Class. I highly recommend you give it a try & I'm not waiting a year for my Birthday to go back..no way!

Went here for our 28th wedding anniversary. It was perfect. Starting from the delicious orange slice martini, the Calamari for an appetizer, sirloin cooked to perfection with a side of lobster tail...divine. The waiter was superb. He made us feel special like we were the only people in the restaurant. The manager even stopped by and wished us a happy anniversary and checked that our food and service was up to par. I most definitely would recommend and will absolutely be returning.

Steak was not amazing. Over cooked with no real taste at all. Service was not amazing. Was expecting this to be a great experience but, should have gone to Flemings or Sullivans. Too bad as this used to be a great place with quality. Not anymore.

I'm not sure why but for some people this restaurant is very polarizing. Some people either love it or hate it. I happen to love it and try to go there on a regular basis. I believe it's family owned and the service is always quite good. And I really enjoy the food. What's not to like?

We had a delicious meal here last night. Authentic flavors and well prepared. The Lamb Korma was the bedtvI have had in a restaurant. The lamb was very tender and the Korma was floral and rich in flavor. The vegetable Samosa were delicious and perfect with the 3 chutneys. The Tandoori Chicken was full flavored and I loved that they have poblano peppers in the sautéed onions as most restaurants put green bell pepper which adds no flavor. The owners are also very nice. We will be back! If you haven't tried this restaurant, don't hesitate.

Lunch buffet was reasonably priced. All dishes had flavor. Nothing was spicy hot which the older people in our party enjoyed. We were able to ask for more naan. The naan was made fresh and properly plus served HOT. Only have been here this one time, so I may be over rating??? We will try it again.

A few of my friends and I dined here this evening and had a great time. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere were great for a Saturday evening. It was a tad busy when we first arrived, as expected, but the service was still awesome; kudos to Chris P., she was wonderful as well as the entire staff. We had the Wood Fired Bread with cheese as an appetizer. I ate the Lemon Chicken pasta dish, and my friends enjoyed their sandwiches and salad. I also enjoyed the Charred Punch cocktail. We’ll definitely return in the future. I look forward to trying one of their pizzas next time.

We've dined at Charred Pie two, perhaps three times, in the last couple of months. We have found their sandwiches (!!! who knew that a 'pizza parlor' would create such sumptuous fare???) to be outstanding, especially (in my view) the grilled cheese. Wow. Don't be put off by the odd name for it (I have forgotten the exact name, possibly because the name doesn't do it justice). And, my wife just loves the buffalo chicken sandwich. -- Of course, there is far too much bread in both of these sandwiches, but the bread is high quality and tasty. Still, if you are looking to avoid gluten, Charred Pie is probably a place to avoid, as they don't sell much (if anything) that isn't filled with gluten. In any event, on the gluten-OK days, I highly recommend Charred Pie, with the following provisos: 1.) Until Saturday (when we ate there after seeing the moving "Conclave"), I had just thought that the service was slow. It does take 'a while' to get your food. But, then I realized that this is, likely, intentional on the part of the management. Unlike some places, they don't rush you through to get you out. You can take the time to chat and enjoy your food (which, of course, if you take up their real estate for an 'extra' long time, you should increase your tip ....). So, it is a nice, relaxed delivery speed. If you need it faster, you would do well to tell the server you're in a hurry. 2.) I, very, very much, dislike the 'decor' on the inside. Similar to The Parish (Orange Grove and Oracle, NW corner) the management has fallen in love with black painted walls, black ceiling, and 'light' bulbs which put out almost enough light to see the person sitting across the table from you. I exaggerate -- slightly -- for emphasis. But, it may not have occured to the Management that when there is almost no interior illumination, and you have these big 'picture' windows from which a great bit of light streams in, it makes it very hard, for some of us, anyway, to see because of the glare from the outside -- it's like driving with all the cars on the other side of the road having their "brights" on. Your eyes have adjusted to near total darkness, and then you are blinded by a bright light. I like Charred Pie. But, I don't like the milieu.

Four of us arrived around noon on a Thursday in April, and it wasn’t too busy. We were greeted promptly and chose to sit outside. It was a fairly nice day to be outside but would be quite uncomfortable when the weather gets hot. Our waitress arrived in a reasonable amount of time, and she was friendly and efficient. We all ordered various kinds of draft beer or wine, and we all liked them. Our friends ordered the house salad as an appetizer. It was quite large and tasty, and we all were nibbling on it. My spouse and I ordered the Black and Bleu pizza. It came with garlic crema, mozzarella, fontina, blue cheese, sausage and mushrooms. It was topped with fried onions and brandy crema. It was the perfect size for us to split, and we both enjoyed the combination of flavors. The kitchen was kind enough to make our friends a special pizza they had ordered on a previous visit. I can’t remember what it was but they ate it all! Enjoyable afternoon!

Good food! Airline chicken had good flavors. Wish it had a sauce. Salmon was really yummy. Carrot cake was good, but wish they put more caramel sauce on it and I should have added ice cream on the side. Oatmeal cookie was rich, but pretty good. The fans were loud outside so they turned all the fans off, so got a bit warmer than I would like.

Absolutely loved this restaurant! The atmosphere was great, with the modern decor and relaxed feel. Our service was top notch with a super friendly server who answered all of our questions. They had so many fantastic options for gluten free food and our server was incredibly helpful with that. The food was outrageously good!! My whole party was so happy with their food. They had the best gluten free bun for a burger that I've had at any restaurant. Would 100% come back here on any return trip to Tucson - don't miss this gem!!

Delicious as usual Came in for lunch and got the onion soup...even on a warm October day it's delicious. Got my favorite Nachos and hubby got the HUGE salad... Always a favorite stop for a meal

I finally ate at Noble Hops and got the Jam Burger ($17). The burger was cooked to my liking, the bun was soft, and there was a good amount of bacon jam on the bottom bun, adding a sweetness that paired well with the cheese. All the ingredients gave the burger a unique, delicious taste. Though the fries ($4) were good, I had to order them on the side, which was a bummer. I sat on the patio, enjoyed the view, and watched the sunset. There is an impressive selection of craft beers and a humidor for cigar lovers like myself. Enjoy!

A great location in the heart of Oro Valley with modern dining and menu ranging of seafood, turf, and vegetarian based. Lovely view of the mountains and wonderful service. Good ambient music, will be back down the road

Came here for a late lunch with some friends and the food did not disappoint. I ordered their wings and fish ‘n chips and they were very yummy! Everything was perfectly crispy, well seasoned and the serving sizes were pretty big. Overall great place to visit!

Staff is incredibly nice and helpful, the owner Josh was super friendly and come around to the tables to make sure you're good, was also very helpful with getting me set up with some of his shirts! Our waitress Ally was very sweet and patient with all our questions. . Thank you to the whole staff!

The server was great. The place was clean. I like there is a drink and food special of the month or week. The only suggestion I have us when you put brisket in a sandwhich the fat should be trimmed. Most people do not like to bite into their sandwhich and only get fat no meat.

Brisket was tender and was mostly meat. Ribs were slightly dry and did not have a deep smoky flavor. BBQ sauce was needed on the ribs. Ribs also had a fair amount of fat and cartilage that I ate around. Fries were battered and the best part of the meal. The cornbread was mixed with chilis and was spicy. Servers were kind and professional.
