We sat inside, and the noise level was incredibly loud. The food was excellent, and the service was good. If we were to return, would recommend sitting outside, unless it is too cold.

The service was super nice but the place was busy for a Wednesday night. It could have been a little bit more attentive, but we enjoyed our server and the food. The food was super fresh and delicious and everything on the menu was enticing. We definitely enjoyed the experience and will return.

We celebrated a birthday dinner at Wildflower last night. Perfect experience for all four of us. The restaurant was well aware of the birthday and our server greeted us with an acknowledgement at the table. The food was perfectly prepared (short ribs, pasta Bolognese, salmon and shrimp avocado bowl; preceded by dumplings and Brussels sprouts.) All delicious (however, I’ve been a guest at Wildflower many times over many years, and found the portion size to be shrinking. An observation at many restaurants…) The Bars of Zin is a decadent “must order.” The banana pudding (my name for it), not so much. Our server was efficient, knowledgeable and delightful. It’s hard to go wrong with any of the Fox Concept restaurants - most of which we’ve visited in several states. This one’s exceptional.

The service at Wildflower is noteworthy: it’s professional, yet very friendly. I noticed that, despite the fact that they have their assigned tables, the servers help each other out (a server who was our primary server last time we were there filled our water glasses at one point, just because he had a minute-or a pitcher in-hand). Food….we started with the always delicious grilled artichokes. The, my husband had salmon and I had the lobster and artichoke salad. My husband commented that his salmon was cooked absolutely perfectly. My salad was very, very good, but I had thought it would have Maine lobster in it, and it didn’t (Australian lobster tail, maybe). I hadn’t bothered to ask, so my fault. They used to have a delicious lobster salad that was done with Maine lobster, so I assumed. I was super-excited to see something similar back again. If you are a bread-eater, this is a great place for that too. Delicious, warm from the oven! All that good food AND it was 1/2 price wine bottles night (Tuesday). Wonderful evening. The only bad thing was that we had no room for dessert. Their bars of sin dessert is amazing. Maybe next time!

Arrived promptly for our 5:45 reservation. Server was very good and brought drinks and bread 1st course arrived without a problem but had to wait an hour for entree. Server volunteered a couple of times that our food would be out shortly but finally admitted kitchen was backed up. When food did arrive 2 plates were hot while 2 were just warm. Not up to usual standard. Maybe because it was a Monday and B team was operating.

Good was great. All four of us enjoyed our meals. However, we had to go to the front desk to ask for service. Finally were assigned a server but service was still spotty. Comped one table appetizer for the problem.

It’s too crammed because they have squeezed in more tables inside and noice level is sooo high that we could barely hear each other or the waiter.
Wildflower - TucsonResponded 1 day ago
Thanks for the feedback, Elly! While we haven't added any new tables inside, we have been pulling apart some of the tables in the dining room recently to accommodate the influx of indoor seating requests due to the colder weather the last few weeks. It might feel a little bit tighter, but it's only temporary. We're also working with our corporate design team on some noise buffering options for the dining room, I'll be sure to pass along the feedback.
