My wife and I had a beautiful dining experience at the Core Kitchen Ritz Carlton. After dining at all of the Tucson Resorts, this has been the finest by far. Everyone we encountered were absolutely the nicest and most professional. Lisa, our attendee was very helpful, especially in fulfilling our cocktail order. Thanks again Lisa. What a spectacular Christmas Celebration at The Ritz Carlton.

The homemade ice cream was severely freezer burnt, but other than that it was amazing! The cactus and prickly pear dish were great and really filling despite small portions. I would happily dine again.

We had the Thanksgiving Buffet at the Core. We thought that 155$ a person was way too much to charge for what we received. The food could have been warmer. The service was poor. Our server was not attentive and we had to ask other servers for things we needed. Much to our surprise, we had to pay for parking.
