“ We had thee best evening here! It was my Birthday and my husband brought me here for a dinner we hoped would fair better than anything we’d experienced prior pandemic! Well, it rocked. We are both excellent chefs so it’s easy to disappoint us. Our waiter was Ramon and he was the most personable, and knowledgeable waiter we’ve had in sometime. Thank Goodness I asked him about the entrees because I was going to order something that would’ve been way too much for me to eat. And I got the tenderloin and it was amazing. My husband got the lamb and I couldn’t stop asking him for another bite. The lobster appetizer was to die for and our bottle of wine was delicious. My dessert said happy birthday and was adorable as well as delicious. Our waiter made our evening along with just lovely, lovely food. Everyone was ridiculously accommodating. Will return soon. ”
“ CORE kitchen and wine bar, is the time name of a world class 5 star restaurant. Absolutely loved the menu, it had less main dishes then you have fingers on your 2 hands, making the decision is easy because there is not a single doesn't that isn't tasty! The ambiance induced the feeling out sitting in a candelabra, fabulous dining experience! A must see location just for the city and mountain views alone! ”
“ Very high end but you get what you pay for. The food and service were superb. It was the best dinner we had while visiting Tucson! Pictured: Kurobuta Pork Tenderloin with peaches - absolutely mouthwatering! (Aside, their breakfast buffet is also amazing- great mixture of American breakfast staples with Mediterranean inspired fare of olives, smoked salmon and cheese!) ”
“ High end fine dining here, from the website I’d thought it was more casual. Remarkable quality of food. The menu does not have burgers or anything less than expensive, so take your wallet. Shown are the salmon and the lemon cheesecake. ”
“ We had a wonderful dinner on a beautiful patio with a fabulous waiter, Ramon! His service was impeccable. He was so helpful with the menu. Our Cactus Ahi appetizer was the coolest and tastiest ever! Check the photo! Really fun and jaw dropping presentation that was sooooo good! My steak was a perfect cut and cooked to perfection with a subtle sauce that really brought out the flavor. My wife had a seafood risotto that was so creamy and stuffed with fish and shrimp, scallops and mussels. Yes, the dinner was high end but they really did a nice job and the service and setting are off the charts! ”
“ As a “visitor” in my own home town, I wouldn’t have expected this restaurant to be as amazing as it was regardless of being in the Ritz. Impressive staff- Connor the host was so kind, Jeff was an exceptional waiter and all of the staff that supported our dinner. There were fun elements of surprise for us through our dinner. There wasn’t one thing in our meal that we did not love. Locals can come here for dinner without stay, we will be back. ”
“ Another amazing place to go and eat at the Ritz Carlton at Dove Mountain. The food was out of this world. We ate there 4 times while staying at the Ritz. Steven was the beat waiter I have ever had. He was so knowledgeable. Thanks Steven for making our experience even better. Definitely a place to go check out! ”
“ I highly recommend Core Kitchen if you are looking for a fine dining experience in Tucson. This place is definitely an experience. My wife and I came here to celebrate her birthday, and the restaurants fine dining atmosphere definitely made the night feel special. All of the food was incredible, I personally recommend the Ribeye, who knew that the side of carrots and mashed potatoes could be so unbelievably delicious. They also threw in a complementary birthday dessert. Thank you and we'll definitely be coming back. ”
