Popped in after a sunset yoga session nearby and why am I not here more? Tucked up in the mountains, this spot nails that true Arizona feel. Quiet, peaceful, golden desert energy, but the bar itself is actually popping. Such a good mix of people too. You've got date night energy, groups at dinner, families, and then us rolling in straight from yoga like we belong. Snagged a lounge spot on the couches and just posted up. Perfect for unwinding, catching up, and stretching the night out a little longer. Misters going, pool views, indoor and outdoor seating... it just flows. Didn't order food or drinks, so can't speak to that, but service was warm and welcoming even just hanging out. Easy, elevated, and super chill. Would absolutely come back to hang. read more

I went here tonight to hear some live music, which they have on Saturdays from 7 to 9 p.m. I ordered a bowl of pozole, but they were out of it. So I got the other soup on the menu, chicken tortilla ($8). It was reasonably good, though served in a shallow bowl, so the portion size was small. And served with no bread or crackers. In general, prices are high here (for example, three tacos cost $18), but it's in a resort hotel, so that is to be expected. No problems with the service. There was a basketball game broadcast on the large-screen TV, but the sound was off so it didn't interfere with the music. read more

If you're visiting Tucson and staying at Westward Look, I highly recommend finding somewhere else for dinner. We had a reservation for 11 people which I had received confirmation for the day before. When we arrived, they could not find our reservation and said they had no record of it. They scrambled to put a table together for us. The service was some of the worst I've received. We ordered 2 bottles of champagne and they took over 45 minutes to arrive. We had to ask for it multiple times. They did not offer to pour the bottle. Some others at the dinner ordered cocktails and sodas from the bar which took just as long to arrive. Water refills were hard to get as well. Some of the food was all right when it finally arrived. Some of it was cold. In total, it took about an hour to get our entrees. They comped two of our desserts to make up for the bad service. We were here celebrating a birthday and this restaurant unfortunately is not a place to celebrate. read more

We went here with some friends for dinner on a Saturday in May. We got reservations, although we didn't really them as there were plenty of open tables. We ordered some drinks & the salsa, guacamole and chips appetizer. The salsa had a nice little kick to it. The guacamole was very tasty and chunky. For dinner, we had the salmon that was properly cooked and very tasty. We also had the meatloaf that was really good and came with mashed potatoes and asparagus that were very thick. Another person had the steak frites that was cooked to perfection and was well seasoned. And, we had the tequila pasta with chicken, where the pasta was really wide the chicken was done well and there was a hint of tequila in the sauce. Everyone was satisfied with their dinners. We sat outside on a patio overlooking the pool and south across the city. There was quite a bit of foot traffic as this patio is right off the lobby. Everyone who walked across the patio was quiet and respected our little corner to give us some privacy. The service was prompt and attentive without being overbearing. read more

Breakfast is very good. Porch area is a great place to sit in cooler weather. A very old establishment (Westward Look) worth a visit for any time dining. read more

The lookout was just what we were looking for after a long day of travel. (See what I did there?) Well curated southwest style dishes and excellent service made our visit a delight. Do check the specialty cocktail menu for a nice selection of beverages. A bit spendy, but we felt we got a good value for what we paid. Our only complaint is it is hard to see what is probably a spectacular view due to the glare from the harsh indoor lighting. read more

Nice outdoor seating. A reasonable menu. Happy hour menu was so so. My partner order a shot of whiskey and asked for a lot of ice. The shot of Buffalo Trace was $15, they charged an extra $2 for the "extra ice". All 6 cubes. The carne asada special was atrocious. The beef was tough, stringy and dry. Would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Three of us had an early dinner at the LBG on March 7th. Overall, the meals were excellent. I had the Branzino and Risotto dish which was delicious and perfectly prepared. My wife had the Caesar Salad with Salmon, which she said was excellent. My daughter had the Meatloaf dish which she said was delicious. For dessert, we had the Churros, which were delicious also. The LBG has improved over the past year; we have eaten there several times during the last year and the meals have been excellently prepared. A solid 4-star restaurant and we will return. read more

My wife and I came here to listen to the music and grab a dinner. We were greeted and sat down by very friendly person. We then sat there for 30 minutes drinking water and nobody ever came back. I posted a picture of our table after 30 minutes, just two menus and two waters. The manager walked by us five times and there were two couples that were sat down after us ordered and got their food and we were still waiting for somebody. Our server finally came up and we said no thank you we're just gonna leave. We were prepared to pay probably $60 for two dinners instead we went to a different place. I gave it a two because the music was pretty good. read more

Lookout Bar & Grille - a menu and a glass of water - Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Meh. Drinks are weak with LOOTTTTTSSS of ice. Not vegan or vegetarian friendly. Nachos are cheaply made, very little cheese/other stuff. Lots of chips though! The patio-they can't afford sun shades? Please. We were holding menus in front of ourselves, changing seats, whatever we could do to avoid that sun when it started to come down. read more

Food was alright DEFINITELY not worth the price. SERVER JUDY was absolutely rude and grumpy. The way she approached us all loud and like she didn't want to be there was just awful. We were part of a big party and she didn't ask if we wanted to split the bill or anything. She set the bill down and walked off. One large bill that we wanted to split/charge to room but couldn't. She didn't bring us boxes until like 30 mins later. She set our food down really hard. Honestly giving one star mainly because of our server. Don't know how they think it's acceptable. read more

My husband and I made the mistake of having Christmas dinner at Lookout Bar & Grille. Apparently an inordinate number of kitchen and wait staff "called out", that was the excuse for our bad experience. We had a 6:00 PM reservation which we were on time for. At 6:35 we flagged someone down to take our drink order. It took another 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive. The food came much later. The beet salad was mostly tired greens with a few small beet cubes and barely any dressing. My husband had the prime rib from the Holiday Menu. It was one thin, dry, overcooked, tasteless slice of "prime" rib, same for the brussel sprouts which were spongy, the potatoes slices were clumped together like glue. I had the vegan avocado tacos from the regular menu which came with cold rice. The tacos themselves were pretty good, would have been better on the corn tortillas I asked for instead of the flour ones I received. The wait person was kind enough to comp our drinks (two glasses of wine and one soft drink) but it did not make up for an unappetizing, unappealing meal and experience. read more

The best view in Tucson! Also, the food was excellent. We stayed in the hotel for three nights and ate breakfast and dinners. The food is fresh and unique, we really enjoyed the vegan tamales and the club sandwich. For breakfast, we enjoyed the spinach and smoked salmon omelette and the assortment of grain bowls. Several vegan and vegetarian options. The ambience is pleasant, the staff members are friendly, and seem to care about the customers. Highly recommend! read more

What a disappointment. I should have read the reviews and skipped this place. Friend wanted to eat the hamburgers here as she had met another friend here and loved the hamburgers. So we met and headed into the dining room. It was a Saturday and the hotel was busy. The dining room was completely empty. A young man came from the back and told us to have a seat anywhere we wanted. He returned and said that the dining room was closed and that the bar was serving food, and directed us to the bar. We walked into the bar and the bartender told us to sit anywhere we wanted. She brought over menus; we picked what we wanted and 10 minutes later she was back and took our orders. We sat talking as the place filled up. I moved the center metal salt and pepper container away from us so we had more room. The table under the container was full of food crumbs and salt. When our hamburgers arrived (Tucson burger), friend's (ordered rare) burger was medium rare and my (ordered medium) burger was medium rare. So much for requesting a certain "cook" on the meat. The french fries were limp and not completely done. In asking for more water, it took 15 minutes to get it the first time, with me walking up to the bar with empty glasses (after requesting water 10 minutes earlier) to get refills the second time. The hamburgers were really good but this meal was not sixteen dollars good. The poor bartender was trying to keep up with all the people coming in. People were waiting for menus, drinks, food, checks- it was a mess. Just as we were leaving another server/bartender showed up to help out. I thought this place would have it together. It's an institution in Tucson that's been around forever. If the dining room is closed, people are going to want to eat somewhere on site if they're using the pool etc. But in looking at other reviews, the issues here have been around for awhile and haven't been addressed. Sad..... read more

We made reservations online for 6:45 PM because we wanted to try a new place. When we arrived inside of the Lookout Restaurant, no one greeted us. We stood around and had to ask one or two of the servers at the bar where we needed to go. Finally, Karisa Ranlord (we later found out was the manager according to our server) came up to us and asked if we had a reservation. She seemed very confused when we gave her our name and then she asked if we made it on OpenTable (we had). She had a stack of papers with notes written on the back of what looked like a children's menu and a handwritten seating chart that she was scanning for our name. Finally, she took us to the patio to a corner table (with no heat lamp) and another party's name on the table. We ordered appetizers, drinks and dinner. The appetizers came, but no one came back to our table again (not even to refill water) after that until 7:45. The manager and servers seemed to know the other guests, and they were super friendly with a few of the tables around us, but never made it back to ours. It was like being at a party you weren't invited to. Very surreal. The original server who took our order never returned, and then a new guy finally brought our meal (an hour later). We asked him about our drinks and if he could bring us some more water (& my daughter asked for mayo for her sandwich). About 10 more minutes passed and he didn't return. Finally I went and found him at the bar and told him we just wanted to cancel the drinks, we just wanted our check and more water. He was holding the mayo for my daughter and said nothing. I took it and left. Ten more minutes passed and he actually came out with the drinks I told him to cancel. We asked him again to just bring the check and water, no drinks and he said he would send the manager. We told him we just wanted the check and didn't want to speak with the manager. Soon the manager wandered over (after she and the server had a super obvious conversation in the dining room where they pointed at our table) and asked "Is there a problem here?". We explained we just wanted our check and to leave and that we had waited for our drinks and food for over an hour without even a water refill. We felt invisible and totally ignored. She said she would comp our bill which was fine but it was New Year's Eve and they completely ruined it for us. Honestly, it was a totally ridiculous and bizarre situation and needless to say , we will never return or recommend it to anyone. read more

The bands are a fun addition to their happy hour. The bartender knows how to make a drink. The food is just OK.

Amazing food!! This place is underrated. Tequila pasta is to die for. We had a amazing server named Anthony. Will be coming back. :) read more

Enjoying live jazz during Happy Hour 1600-1800. Ordered the quesadilla and it came in waves. First the three folded tortillas with melted cheese inside and a cup of salsa. Thinking that was it, I began eating and then another sever arrived with the guacamole and sour cream. Not very organized. It was okay. Happy Hour margarita $6 and quesadillas $7. read more

We checked out the restaurant because they had a happy hour and the menu in the hotel room looked good. We were told the drinks and apps were 1/2 off. Nope the info in the hotel room was way different then what the waitress said. They also were not doing anything about Covid when it came to distancing, we just sat wherever we wanted to. The margarita and beer on tap was fine. The quesdilla had amazing salsa and guac but the price was ridiculous! Our price for dinner was more than our hotel room. read more

Nice evening with friends, enjoying happy hour snacks and drinks and listening to music.

Such a shame as the view is rather pretty. Stopped in for a small snack and drinks as we had a big lunch elsewhere. Ordered the quesadilla to split. What came out were 3, incredibly greasy and small quesadillas. We paid extra for achiote chicken... Last time I checked that should have some red color to it. Our chicken looked like the pre-cooked, unseasoned chicken you can buy frozen from Costco. Top that off with $10 draft beer... Next time we'll stop somewhere before we come back to our room. read more

We came here before a show one night. I had never been to the Westward Look Hotel although I've lived here for more than 15 years - I hadn't missed a thing that is for sure. We were here on a Saturday night and while there were quite a few people, the service was so slow even though there seemed to be a lot of staff who were just milling around not in any real hurry to wait on guests. Our drinks were poorly made, the food was mediocre. Don't waste your money coming here! read more

I keep expecting the food to get better every time I come here. But honestly. How can you charge $26 for a piece of fried chicken on Mac n cheese like this? I am APPALLED I can't stop laughing though so thanks for the laughs. Two stars read more

Let me start by saying the best thing about Lookout bar is the bartender Brooke, she was excellent. The bar was busy and besides making drinks she also had tables that she was responsible for. Brooke made sure we were taken care of and never allowed our drinks to be empty before asking if we wanted anything else. I would come back here because of how well we were taken care of and how good the drinks were. read more

Great service and food. I was especially impressed with Traci who works so hard and is an excellent bar tender, and server, and she makes a really great old fashioned. I Could not have been happier with my experience. read more

Based on my experience at happy hour, the bar earned 4 stars. Among other offerings in October 2018, the margaritas and chicken quesadillas are marked down and well worth the price ($5 and $6 respectively). The margarita is fresh made in a tall glass with tequila, triple sec, and fresh squeezed lime juice. The quesadilla is generous with roasted chicken, roasted vegetables, and two cheeses. Even better, it is served with salsa made from roasted tomatoes and with a generous portion of guacamole. Sarah was the bartender. She was pleasant and friendly. I enjoyed my experience. Enjoy! Update: I went back Wednesday to a different bartender and she was not pleasant. So now I understand why this place currently averages less than 3 stars. This bartender was not at all pleasant and some would say surly. So if you go here, you may have a 2 star experience depending on when you go. read more

It took 45 minutes to get a plain quesadilla. Staff was nice but waited way too long. Asked for it to go finally and still had to get up and ask for it after another 15 mins. If you like wine, waiter gave me red options of Merlot or Cab from Australia. or a Malbec mix which tasted like it had turned. No US (California) wines?! read more

Had a reservation with a confirmation and it was not honored. Staff is rude. Food is so-so and very expensive.

We came here on a Friday evening and I was surprised to see only half the tables occupied. This is a large hotels' main restaurant. The service was okay if a little slow paced which didn't bother us as were having multiple conversations. The bread is very fresh and delicious coming in two flavors, rosemary and garlic. 3 people at our table had the duck and proceeded to devour it. 4 of us had seafood and everything was delicious. My shrimp and grits were great. I suggest you come on an off night to enjoy this place. read more

For such a great resort one would expect top quality food and service, but this offers none of that class. The Westward Look is a landmark an it is enigmatic to me that the Lookout is such a dud. The food was reminiscent of a bad Denny's, and the service was not even close to a four star resort. Wake up Wyndham and do something about this place, this is not your 1st rodeo. This was not my 1st time here for lunch but it will be my last. read more

Food was served quickly and was excellent. Best part was our server, Morgan. Friendly, articulate and informative...we really enjoyed our visit. read more

Had dinner on New Years Eve with four couples. it took us 20 to 25 minutes to have our drinks served and it took us an hour or more to have our dinner served! Once the meals did arrived they were all cold. I will not be going back and if I were you I would avoid at all costs! read more

A nice place to stop for a sunset cocktail to take and enjoy outside on the patio. But this property is getting a little worn out and tired. The prickly pear margarita is large but about $8/per. read more

Okay for happy hour (4:00-6:00): $4 bud light, $4 wells, $4.50 wines, and $5 margaritas. If you want a beer worth drinking, they are $6.50. Chicken wings and quesadillas are $6 from 4:00-6:00. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here but it is walking distance from my house, so I'll probably be back at some point. read more

Overall, I was happy with my experience here. My mom and I were staying at the resort for just a night, and the restaurant (Gold) was closed on Mondays. We had an enjoyable time, we started with the spicy buffalo wings, very tasty. Then we tried their homemade potato chips with truffle oil and parmesan, absolutely to die for. We finished with a spinach, pear and gorgonzola salad with a lime and lavender dressing, really fresh and delicious. The only issue we had was with the drinks. We decided to order two drinks each before happy hour ended at 6. I ended up have 3 margaritas, and they must have had next to zero alcohol in each as I felt absolutely nothing which is odd for me. They were very yummy though, hence ordering 3. The other thing with the drinks was no refills on our water...ever. I asked 3 times for more water for my mom, not what you'd expect at a sort of ritzy place. They gave me a free dessert for my birthday which was really nice, I had my choice of anything. I ended up getting the cinnamon chocolate "nachos." Wasn't optimistic, but they blew me away to my surprise. Overall, I'd certainly go again. Prompt service mostly, and tasty eats. read more

Having gone at a friend's request for her birthday, I returned to Lookout Grill hesitantly. Had been there a month before and had poor service and lack-luster food. A very small cheese quesadilla, with minimal salsa & sour cream. We ate outside and it took the server 15 minutes to come by, and this was after my friend went to search for her . Food then came quickly but both of our entrees were small and burger was over-done .Not very good. The service was quicker last evening as we ate inside, but the food was same poor quality and quantity. Grilled cheese was advertised as being made on panini bread, and it was regular thick, Texas toast type bread. Cheese was sparse and tasted like non-cheese type product such as type typically found on nachos at movie theaters. The tomato basil soup, of which two of us ordered, was served in bowls which were barely half full & luke warm. Tasted like canned soup with a slice of basil leaf floating on top. Server was informed but just said "I'll tell the kitchen". Nothing else. Another friend's hamburger was over-cooked, same as at previous visit. Overall poor service, forgettable food, and very pricey. Two strikes and Lookout Grill out. $10 for beer, almost forgot. read more

I'm going to rate the whole resort, not just the restraunt. But I'm going to start with the restraunt. My Mother said that the wine tasted like at the bottom of the barrel. She also said that the street tacos were a little dry and the cheese curds weren't from Wisconsin, or they weren't good. On the other side, My Father said that the burger was great, and the street tacos were basically the same thing as my mom said. So our recommendation is to go somewhere else than this restraunt. But, the resort was GREAT! The pools were in great shape and the pools were heated. The rooms are nice, but ARE room needs matenuce sorry if I spelled that wrong. I hope you liked my review read more

Sad thing is--I have been staying at this hotel for about 25 years now and always liked the food and service at the Lookout. We made our usual Christmas eve trip from our room up to the bar and BOY, were we disappointed. The menu had changed. We loved their huge burgers and crispy fries, but had to settle for grilled cheese with tomato soup for me and a cucumber Caesar salad for my partner. The heirloom tomato soup was excellent, but the small bowl was only filled halfway. The grilled cheese was something a 4th grader would make, with cheap American cheese slice (1) and bunny white bread that was supposed to be brioche. Terrible!!! The Caesar was tasteless and didn't even have Caesar dressing and NO Parmesan cheese!!! We felt we had to complain to our server (after telling her we had no issues with HER) and she listened, told us the new chef had just changed the menu and comped one of our dinners. We went straight out to the desk and let them know we were not pleased. The desk clerk summoned the Food and Beverage Manager and we gave him an earful. He said the chef was not there that night and said he was thankful for our input--but not thankful enough to comp the entire crummy meal. We hope the chef can sort things out before we return next year or we'll have to eat at a Chinese restaurant on Christmas eve...New chef: GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER OR FIND SOMEPLACE ELSE TO SERVE YOUR NASTY FOOD!!!!! read more
