    Glad I made a reservation especially during the Christmas holidays, even though we still had to waist about 20 mins with a reservation, we were impressed with everything. The service was great, the food was delicious, and the two old fashions I ordered were pretty good. Will def. be returning to this place in the future.

    We ordered the Chicken Fettuccine, wings, fries, street tacos and captain crunch cake dessert. Everything was tasty except the tortilla on the tacos; they were cold and hard, I was expecting a soft taco.

    Our experience at the Mission Inn restaurant last night was fantastic!! My husband and I took our kids, moms & siblings for dinner and it was perfect!!! It was a huge relief because we took 16 of our friends to Las Campanas at the beginning of December and the experience was a HUGE disappointment.

    I made reservations for a family Christmas brunch. We were immediately greeted and sat by the hostess. Drinks were great. food was good and the place was fairly quiet so we were able to enjoy good conversation and our time together. Service was excellent. Will go back again.
