Exceptional dinner experience! We enjoy seafood and started with the oyster appetizer which was delicious. It was wonderful to try all three different oyster options. The halibut and cioppino were fantastic! Dessert was so creative and deliciously amazing. Excellent service by our server Marley. We can’t wait to go back!

We love Reilly's. It's on our "rotation" of restaurants to visit prior to any downtown Tucson event. It's a restaurant that appeals to all ages. It's vibrant and affordable to a younger crowd, while offering a nice alternative for the "pre-symphony" clientele.

We loved BATA. Our excellent server gave us advice on how to order from the menu - small plates, shared with each other, great suggestions and explanations of the dishes themselves. Everything was delicious. The interior was lovely and even though the space has high ceilings, it wasn't too noisy for us to hear each other. Highly recommend.
