A truly enjoyable dinner. The Sonoran candy was a creative cocktail, well balanced with sweet and spicy flavors. The avocado cactus looked as good as it tasted the tuna was tender and complimented by the ancho tempura. The Ora king salmon was one of the most buttery, tender pieces of salmon that I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The wine list is extensive and the sommelier was knowledgeable and quite helpful. Topped off with a trio of sorbet including lime, prickly pear, and mango that melted in your mouth.

This was our first time at the Ritz Carlton for dining. It was our 22nd Anniversary. Our server Nick was attentive and took great care to explain things and offered a sampling of 2 wines for our choosing. The chef comp'd us an asparagus appetizer and a cute little bon-bon dessert. It was a bit pricey for us but as the saying goes "you get what you pay for". The food was overall exquisite. The Avocado Appetizer was out of this world and something I will never forget.

Wonderful service, food, and ambiance. Beautiful setting. My wife has allergies and they were very attentive to work around them and modify meals as appropriate. We love the food and seasoning with local flavors. Wine list is excellent, but expensive.
