Wonderful service and experience. The patio seating is beautiful and the misters keep it from getting too hot. The food was amazing, I'd recommend the Pimento appetizer. Alexis our server absolutely made our night. She was so friendly and knew everything there was to know about the menu. I will be back! read more

Alexis was amazing! The food and drinks were phenomenal, but she really made the night. I'll be back just for her!

The perfect venue to make up for the birthday celebration that would have happened in 2020, but we know what happened there. Had been to this Loew's once for a taco or margarita fest. Friends and I decided to celebrate my birthday here. A friend made the reservations and was able to get us in the large group room. Felt like being in a beautiful home with full west-facing windows/views to the patio that overlooks the lush golf course. All 12 of us arrived a little early so we took the opportunity to take pictures outside while enjoying libations. The Fig and Honey is a wonderfully refreshing cocktail! Our server made sure to identify herself prior to let us know that she would be the one taking care of us. Once we were herded into our room, it was a great experience from start to finish, with Tina. A few of us ordered apps of beef tartare and crudo style hamachi - both winners. I was gifted a yummy Mini Beer. For my entree I ordered the short ribs with Yukon gold mashed potatoes. Would recommend but they were not as rich one would expect in more of a winter stew but that was probably ok for a summer meal. For dessert, I got the birthday carrot cake with roman candle, and everyone got a flute of champagne or sparkling cider. The cake was an interestingly delicious slice with 1/4" alternating layers of cake and frosting. All in all, the service was perfect, attendent but not helicopter-y. We were able to relax and have an amazing time. We were well taken care of by Tina. The hubby is already pitching the venue for future special family events. And, yeah yeah, it's at a hotel/resort, but so far, this place is what I would consider for a group special event. read more

Finally. This place checks ALL the boxes. Feels like you're in an upscale spot in LA, Vegas or Washington, DC. And while not pretentious it's hip and relaxed while being a place you want to dress up to go to. Every one of your senses will be delighted. The view, the smells, the food, the service, the hotel costes vibe lounge music playing in the backdrop to perfectly pair in creating a contemporary ambiance complimenting the whole environment. Great job. In a few weeks I've been 3 times. I've tried the caviar cones that are a burst and mirage of flavors that left me wanting to order a dozen. Delicious. The guacamole experience at first glance I had written off, but friends decided to order and I'm so glad they did. Delicious!!! The Chicharron and Tostones were out of this world in flavor definitely worth it. The Fig drink is amazing. The sunset vodka drink with ginger OMG! The Mandavi red is amazing, the port is delicious for an after dinner cap off as is the espresso martini. I love all their glassware and tableware. They use the right glasses for the right things. Service is attentive, they're around, but they're not pushing you to be out the door -which I love. Definitely more of an Italy dining experience where they want you to sit back and relax and take your time. I love that. Especially because the place is so beautiful. You don't wanna leave and the chairs are so comfortable that you don't want to get up. Back to the food, got the special which was pork with a cherry glaze and goat cheese, drizzle. To die for perfectly accompanied with the artichoke. The ahi tuna dinner entree was cooked perfectly and a beautiful presentation. The steak was perfectly cooked. Wasn't a big fan of the Potatoes au gratin but it presented beautifully- I'm just more of a classic when it comes to that dish and they had a unique take on it. The crème brûlée was good. I feel like it's a staple that you can't really make any more exceptional than a good crème brûlée is. The surprise was the brownie, which I would not have ordered but friends wanted to so I tried it. it was amazing. I love the presentation of how they serve it and the taste was absolutely unique perfection! They made something taste exceptionally different, even though it seems like it would be your usual brownie à la mode. It's got a unique flavor that I have a hard time describing besides I recommend you try it because it's absolutely delicious. I've decided that I will have to try everything on the menu at least once. Because some of the things that I immediately wrote off with the things that I love the most. So now I'm curious to try all of their menu items. They do have a way of making dishes very unique and all their own based on how they serve it or the way they have prepare it. The lighting and ambience is like no other restaurant in Tucson. This place is an event. Breathtaking in every regard. Sat outside all 3 times. Twice at tables and once at the sofa overlooking the 18th hole. Arrived between 630-730 all 3 times and was totally comfortable. I love Tucson's weather and sunsets and wore my sunglasses for 30 minutes one of the evenings while watching the sun set. I was unbothered by the Tucson heat- but this is one of the things I love most about living here. The misters with fans above the tables do a nice job of keeping it cool without you getting damp. If you're concerned for the heat, that's a good outdoor spot to sit. I'll have to try sitting indoors at some point but honestly, I prefer outside and away from A/C. Exceptional experience all the way around! read more

My boyfriend and I recently visited after the restaurant's remodel, and we were incredibly impressed with the whole experience. From the updated atmosphere to the excellent service, everything exceeded our expectations. Our waitress, Alexis, was especially wonderful. She is so friendly, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful throughout the evening. She helped with our wine selection and made sure every part of our experience was enjoyable. Her service truly stood out and made our night even better. The atmosphere was beautiful as well, with great lighting with a warm, inviting feel. We also had a brief conversation with Aidan, one of the busboys, and he was just as friendly and hardworking. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend this restaurant. Try to get Alexis as your server! read more

Alexis made our experience amazing. We will definitely be returning. My wife really enjoyed her birthday. The food was beyond amazing. read more

The Flying V Bar & Grill - Right outside the main entrance overlooking the water. Beautiful grounds to enjoy after an exceptional meal. - American Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We came here on a Friday night without a reservation and were seated at the bar. There were plenty of empty tables outside the whole time we were there, we were told all tables were reserved, however. It didn't matter so much since there is a bar menu. We ordered the fondue and al pastor tacos, espresso martini and an old fashioned. The fondue was fantastic, we got extra bread. The tacos were very flavorful. read more

This recently renovated restaurant is at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort. Beautiful views and very pleasant area especially if you enjoy your meal in their outdoor patio. Service was great. This is a fine dining restaurant so you will not be in and out of it quickly. Mango margarita is delicious and complemented my meal. I ordered salmon and also had an opportunity to try their short rib. Both dishes were spectacular. The salmon very juicy, I ordered it medium. Short rib was super tender, not a huge fan of their mashed potatoes. For dessert we shared apple crisp. Its quite big and perfect for sharing read more

The Flying V recently underwent a remodel and menu change which they launched this Spring. I've been back twice, once for my husbands birthday and another time with another couple. The interior remodel overall transformed the space. Despite the trees being fake, I like the vibes. One after though in my opinion is that some of the seating is on a sofa, which honestly is not comfortable for dinner. I think iif it were reserved for cocktail type groups it would be fine, but they attempted to seat us at table for two with sofa seating on our first visit facing west, which meant the sun was beating on our faces. We had to request to be moved. On our second visit we were seated at a table with four chairs, but again the sun was an issue. They do have shades and my recommendation is that their staff manages them better and waits to raise them until the sun is set. No one wants to be blasted by the sun. From a service standpoint we've had mostly good service but the bar has consistently been slow. The drinks for some reason take a really long time. Standout dishes on the menu are the guacamole. I loved the chicharrones, they are perfectly seasoned! The chips are on the oily side for my taste. The caviar cones are also a fun bite to try. And the beer tartar is quite good as well. I ordered the salmon for my entree on one visit. I enjoyed the dish, but it was on the salty side. And on another visit I shared the ribeye with my husband. It was plenty of food with the sides that we ordered. Overall, the menu is good. It's definitely on the expensive side to dine here, but I also found that the appetizers are very shareable if you're in a group of 4-6. read more

Amazing experience!! Met the executive chef Ryan who stopped by our table! He made our experience so special!! The food was excellent! We will definitely be back! The atmosphere is also beautiful!!! read more

My new favorite spot! The outdoor patio renovation is outstanding-a true desert oasis! You HAVE to stop in for a drink or a bite and soak in the experience. Devour some cornbread, and feast on a filet (locally sourced). Special spot for a date night or to entertain out of town guests for a sunset dining experience. read more

Came here for the first time with my friends and it was an incredible experience. We really have Alexis to thank for all of that. The drinks and food were incredible. Little bit of a long wait for drinks but she made up for it. We had so much fun talking to her we didn't even realize it was an hour past close. You can truly tell she is someone who cares about your experience and is beyond passionate about her job and the way she feels about the food here. Seriously have never had a server care that much for my table. Will definitely be back and will no doubt be asking for Alexis. read more

This place is beautiful! I took my husband on his birthday and requested outdoor seating by the water and got exactly what I requested. Thank you! The food was presented beautiful and tasted great! Our server, I'm sorry, I forgot her name but she was amazing!!!!! I definitely recommend this place! You will not be disappointed! read more

the restaurant music is loud for a fine dining restaurant and not relaxing (think Vegas boom, boom, boom). the outdoor patio faces west with no sun shades so unless you want to fry, plan on outdoor seating after 8:00 pm. The indoor atmosphere is dark and cold. The staff are trained to be non personable (don't want to offend anyone by being yourself!?). They act like walking robots. Food is average at best. would not recommend. read more

The steak was cooked to temperature requested and cavatelli pasta was delicious. The service was great. Ambience was nice and the Mountain View and waterfalls were nice. read more

Exquisite! Everything from vibe/ambience, the food was super delicious, steak was perfectly cooked and super tender, Mac and cheese was super yummy, mash potatoes and the apple crisp staff was kind and friendly. Definitely recommend. read more

The recent remodel is stunning inside and out, and the setting alone makes the experience special. We started with the beef tartare, which was delicious and served with light, delicious brioche. The Caesar salad was crisp and perfectly dressed. The jumbo asparagus was honestly the best I've ever had, grilled and topped with a light and airy chiltepin aerated butter that added amazing flavor and texture. The homemade cornbread arrived with three delicious accompaniments and was hard to stop eating. For my entrée I ordered the ahi, which was perfectly seared and excellent. One friend had the short ribs and raved about how tender and flavorful they were, while another ordered the sea bass special and was equally impressed. By the end of the meal we were completely satisfied and didn't think we had room for dessert. However, we were celebrating an 80th birthday, so dessert was non-negotiable. We shared the s'mores toasted tableside, which was both fun and delicious. Wonderful food, gorgeous views, and a memorable celebration. It truly was a perfect evening. read more

AMAZING food. Amazing service. Amazing ambiance! Bravo! Highly recommend Rib Eye, Shrimp & Shishito Peppers! Epic!!

We were staying at the resort and decided to try out this restaurant. We enjoyed ourselves, but didn't LOVE it. Ordered the corn soup that was delicious! Entrees were the special: short rib stuffed chile relleno and mushroom tamales. The chile relleno was good, short rib was seasoned well. The tamales were fried so it made them really heavy and the sauce felt heavy too. Got creme brulee for dessert, which was decent. Service was great, especially since we had our baby with us. read more

Granted I had lower expectations because we don't normally have a great experience at a resort restaurant as they become very dependent on resort traffic and struggle with the highs and lows. Not at Flying V. It's very apparent the locals love this place and I know why. The atmosphere and service are fantastic and the food and menu are a match! I had the beef tartare as an appetizer and is was unlike other tartare that I've had and was devine! I also had the carne asada tacos and apple pie dessert. Everything was great, a top 20 all-time dining experience..... read more

This is one of our go-to places. Food is always good and the service is always fantastic! The outdoor seating and garden seating is unmatched! If you haven't tried this wonderful place yet, please do! And you will not be disappointed . read more

First let me say the staff was really great, the bartender created a unique drink so me which was very delicious. The staff and Connor the bartender definitely get 5/5! The food was ok, it wasn't my favorite. The salmon had a weird texture to it. That might just be me though. The pork belly was really good, I had that as an appetizer. I do wish I would have tired something else because some of the food coming out looked and smelled amazing. The reason for 3 stars is they have a fire alarm next to the oven in the kitchen. The fire alarm went off twice during dinner. The first time it went off for 10ish minutes and the second it went off as I was finishing up. This seems to be a common problem but it did dampen the experience a bit and made it hard for conversation. read more

The ambiance after the remodel is wonderful. I don't know why another reviewer is complaining that they took the tableside guacamole off the menu because it's still there and I watched them prepare it for another table. We did have the cavatelli pasta which was outstanding. I was pleasantly surprised as a lot of times the non-steak dishes are an afterthought. My husband liked it just as much as his NY Strip. My kid had the kids filet which was a great deal. read more

We had dinner with a friend visiting from out of town. Food was just okay. Honestly, as I am sitting here writing this I don't recall what I had for dinner as it was just so-so. We had the same experience at another high end resort here in Tucson. Honestly, if you want memorable food I recommend you stay away from the hotel restaurants all together and research for the hot buzz places in town. Tucson is known for its UNESCO rating as the city of gastronomy. This is not that. The menu I remember was very limited and had a difficult time selected something. Service was good. Drinks good. But you can't mess up a glass of wine. I retired and moved here two years ago. I am slowly checking off those places I thought I could add to my favorite places to dine and take visiting friends. read more

Everyone was nice, but food was not cooked well. So this is a common issue when a steak is sent back. The first steak was overcooked, but it was also missing the lobster tail so I believe they actually grabbed the wrong plate. The second steak was undercooked and that usually happens because they are rushing to get the steak out to a waiting customer. Sometimes it's retribution for sending it back at all. Who's to say? Also the grade of aged prime rib was not good, fatty and unseasoned. Seafood was not prepared well. Lobster tail was overcooked and salty, shrimp in the grits were still slightly translucent. Overall not a horrible experience but I could have made the same quality, if not better, food and drinks myself. Kitchen staff could benefit from some retraining. read more

The Flying V recently went through a remodel in early 2026 while also changing their menu. The remodel turned out nice but the menu is very poor. If you love steak they have a ton of it but at prices similar to Flemings. If I am going to pay those prices I am going to Flemings. Besides steak they have little else to get excited over. As a result, I tried the smash burger off the grill menu but only ate part of it. It was dry and generally not good. A smash burger is ok for a fast food restaurant but not an upscale restaurant. The big misses are the removal of table side qaucamole and the ribs. Everyone we know loved the ambiance of the table side gaucamole and the ribs were a staple. They were the reasons we loved going there. read more

Our dining experience at The Flying V Bar was exceptional from beginning to end! Tip: This restaurant is located on the premises of the Ventana The friend who recommended this restaurant told me about how good the table side guac was, so we made of point of ordered it - I'm so glad we did! When they started the process, a seemingly huge cart was rolled into place next to our table, but the end-result more than justified their actions. Bottom line: The handmade, custom guacamole they make here is totally worth both the price and the trouble :-) All the rest of the food was excellent, as was the service - highly recommended! read more

Extraordinary dinner experience. Food bursting with flavors, beautiful presentation, local vendors ( barrio bread, honey from Wilcox, AZ). The cornbread/ fry bread appetizer and the polenta was my favorite ( the cornbread has a slight kick with poblanos) but I would order the scallops or pork belly again and again ( yes- it's that good). Cocktails were superb adding to the meal. And if this was not enough- our server was amazing and the views of the mountains and greenery made tonight extra ordinary. read more

Great make over of a somewhat tired resort restaurant. Fling V used to be the casual option at Lowes Ventana Canyon Resort. The Ventana Room was the 5 Star option. Sadly closed, and no one at Lowes ever has a decent story of why. Flying V is now much better, decor-wise, etc. The menu is good, vibe also. The only critique was the lame corn bisque. Served with the drama of a small carafe poured by a waiter over a large bowl of crisp accompaniments. Sadly, the carafe is cold, bisque cold and the portion in no way worth $20. All else was very good. read more

42$ for a slab of meat and a big bone under it because "presentation" and no side. Had to share the meat because who's eating all that?

Best service EVER with Henry Lynch! Amazing bartender, personality and overall experience. My husband, mother and myself came in for dinner and sat at the bar. We had come from the new bar that opened within the hotel Loews with subpar service, no personality and despite being beautiful, they were clearly not ready to open. When we left that place (Cascade) we could not have had a better experience. Henry is AWESOME! Ask for him at The Flying V... he won't disappoint. read more

Typical resort restaurant food. Food is average and overpriced for the quality. If you are willing to leave the resort I'm sure there is better food in the area. Ambiance was fine as was the service. Nothing memorable read more

Always great food and drinks! My favorite view from a Tucson venue! We like to take friends or family to show them the night skyline.

Overall very very good. Slow night but attentive service. We ordered drinks-delicious and beautiful! Cool beer glass for the draft. I had a Sangria. So much fruit! I ordered the winter salad and chicken tortilla soup. He had scallops. Portion was small but delicious here. We shared a pear crumble...delicious! read more

Walk across the drive to the Flying V for the most upscale dining option at the Loews Resort. We started with a tequila shot flight, and honestly I wasn't that excited about it. But the tequilas were actually really fantastic and sippable- it totally changed my opinion of tequila (maybe I've just been drinking the wrong tequila!). We shared several appetizers, but the beef I had for dinner was the most memorable dish. Cooked very rare, it was meltingly tender and so delicious. read more

My husband and I were visiting my in-laws who were staying at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, where this restaurant is located. My in-laws spoiled us with dinner here! I understand they had a difficult time getting a reservation on the patio, though they happened to have a cancelation so we managed a seat with a nice view (although the patio was nearly empty when we sat down for our reservation). The patio overlooks the golf course and resort and is beautiful at sunset. If you can't get a patio reservation, they do slide open the restaurant walls facing the patio on nice nights so you can sort of get that indoor/outdoor experience. The host was friendly upon arrival! Our waitress was good, except that she infrequently checked back on us and I'm pretty sure forgot about my drink order three times - it took about 40 minutes to get my second cocktail... We had to check-in twice before I finally got the drink. This seems to be a common complaint here. My family and I tried a number of the margarita options, which were all good. This seems to be their specialty. My husband ordered a kentucky mule which tasted like it was all ginger beer, no whiskey. The guacamole was good, though very salty. I shared a ceasar salad with my MIL, which ended up being a small side salad for each of us by the time we split it. We did really like how they roasted the romaine for the salad! All of us ordered various main courses and agreed these were the best parts of the meal. The main courses change based on the season. I had the Ahi Tuna, which came with a fantastic sauce / greens. My husband had the ribs - boy oh boy was that a massive portion! Highly recommend getting a single rack unless you are splitting. Overall, the prices were high for the lack of excellent service, ok apps/drinks, and a dated restaurant appeal. The entrees are good, though! read more

I am in between a 2 to 3 star on this one. First off, the reservation process was nice and easy to use. However, we got bad vibes right from walking in. The atmosphere was bland and boring but that wasn't a problem since we were eating outside. Outside, we didn't get great service. It was obvious the waitress cared more about the larger tables and not the two top. Prices were high for what was served. The food was good, for two people our bill was about $200. I think it was maybe worth $100. We felt very disappointed coming here. A table sat down next to us, weren't served and left. I wish we would have done the same. It would also be nice to put heaters on the patio. Lastly, table wide guac is not table side on the patio which was odd. read more
