Restaurants near Cherokee Avenue Park

Food and service are always outstanding; however, the noise level makes conversation across the table a challenge.

Manager Jenna Taylor is a phenomenal lady, amazing manager and a heart of gold. When I say she went above and beyond to show my son a great birthday and to make our Valentine's Day exceptional! Our server STEPHANIE was extremely attentive and very kind! She was a joy to talk to and so very sweet! These 2 lovely women made our made us feel like royalty! We will definitely return because of them!

The menu is diverse, with something for every palate. The service was excellent and seating was very comfortable. The staff and patrons made for a fun and vibrant atmosphere. Food was top notch.

We thoroughly enjoyed Bata. The food was an eclectic and seasonal mix of farm to table innovation. The food was fresh, flavorful and imaginative. We chose our own mixture from the various courses. We stated with apps of the beef & pork bites , ( which were delicious and moist meatballs with a fantastic pumpkin miso sauce), and a luscious mushroon skewer. We moved on to the malawach, a wonderful Mediterranean flatbread with a labneh egg yolk and honey dip. It was special. We tore and dipped until it was gone! There was a smoked turnip dish that served as a really delicious warm, smoky salad course. Our entrees were pork loin and cod. Both proteins were well prepared while retaining just the right amount of moisture with complimentary vegetable accompaniments. We experienced various preparations of turnips in just about every dish. All were delicious. Dessert was the sorbet and chocolate cake. One was as light and refreshing as the other was rich and decadent. Our server, Roxana B. was delightful, personable and menu knowledgeable. She made great, helpful suggestions. The team was spot on with maintaining perfect timing on flow of courses and clearing and replacing plates and flatware. The restaurant had great ambience and we were pleased to have the chance to experience it on our visit to Tucson.

It was a Tuesday evening and so the restaurant wasn't very busy, and the noise level was very low but not unpleasantly low. I don't think they skimped out on the salad or soup bar. All of the food was fresh and very tasty. There was plenty of staff to serve you. All of them were quite nice and pleasant. The all-you-can-eat meats is worth the money. I don't think I've ever had so many different types of meat at one time. I really liked that they kept the portions small enough to try different things but large enough to really taste the flavor of the meat. They were more than happy to continue giving you more until you cried for mercy.
