Tuesday mid afternoon late lunch at acclaimed WGG I heard so much about with accolades . Celebrating my near completion of busy if not chaotic kitchen & living area renovation with designer , artist ,& former neighbor at her favorite restaurant . Her choice was to sit on the large covered comfortable north side patio which includes upholstered bench seating along with tables all cool & comfortable. The large indoor dining room & patio were scattered with a few couples very quiet . She chose the Chilean sea bass that she raved about and with large portions took half home. I started with a bowl of mushroom soup which was wildly enjoyable . Then from the lunch menu chose the beef tips on risotto surrounded by a melange of fresh vegetables . ( also took half home told known for very large portions) . The atmosphere seems like big city with the black & white tiled paths throughout & filled with paintings & sculpture's inside & out. The service was very attentive as expected . There are several large chalkboards filled with specials ! My only mistake was when our server asked if I wanted to hear the specials it seemed like a 5-7 minute oration of so many detailed specials but most impressive her being able to memorize & recite it all! Located SW of sunrise / Ina / n Campbell ave smaller upscale mall with large gold dome on top . Plenty of parking surrounds. I read the mixed Yelp & Yelp elite reviews before arriving , but so enjoyed the great beef tips lunch I would definitely return although I'm not a big city 5 star $$$ guy although. I'm waiting for the valet parking Costco membership to arrive ! Jk Try WGG for yourself I found if quite satisfying.

Wild Garlic Grill has a lot of potential. They have a dizzying menu. And an extensive array of nightly specials. Their portions are gigantic i always leave with plenty of leftovers for the next day's dinner. Our service was good. The Ambiance is nice but could improve by cleaning up the bar area so that it's a more inviting place to sit.. The outdoor areas nice for sitting when the temperature is good.

The title of this review should be "Don't Listen to Roberto!" So who's Roberto? He was our bartender at the beautiful Eddy Hotel in Tucson. On our first night in town we enjoyed a terrific Happy Hour with him, along with excellent food from the hotel's Pin & Flour restaurant. When we asked where we could get the best meal in Tucson, Roberto didn't hesitate: *"Wild Garlic Grill!"* He absolutely raved about it. Still, I checked Yelp and noticed the reviews were less than stellar. But we decided to trust Roberto's enthusiasm and chose Wild Garlic Grill for our second night in Tucson. The restaurant is a short drive from our hotel, located in what appears to be an upscale retirement community near the mountains north of Tucson. We attempted to make a reservation online, but the earliest available time on Saturday was 8:45 p.m.--which we took as a good sign. So we decided to arrive early and hope for a table. Unfortunately...we got one. At 4:30 p.m. there were plenty of open tables both inside and out. We chose a table on the front patio since the back patio was reserved for a large party. We were greeted promptly by a friendly woman (who we later learned was the bartender). Our actual server, Nick, arrived shortly after. We started with cocktails, which were perfectly fine. While looking over the menu, we asked Nick for recommendations. He was helpful, offering detailed descriptions and enthusiastically praising the chef. He pointed out both his personal favorites and the dishes most frequently ordered by guests. We ultimately chose the **Prime New York Strip** ($89) and the **Grilled Cabrilla Sea Bass** ($56)--two of the more expensive items on the menu. Naturally, our expectations were high. When the plates arrived, the first thing that struck us was the presentation--and not in a good way. The plating looked cluttered, messy, and overworked. It felt as though the chef placed the main item on the plate and then randomly scattered extra ingredients on top in an attempt to make it look more elaborate. Instead, it just looked chaotic. The steak lacked seasoning and was covered with a sauce that masked whatever flavor might have been there. While the meat itself was tender, it was surprisingly bland. Neither the seasoning nor the sauce did the dish any favors. The sea bass suffered from a similar problem. It appeared to be a beautiful piece of fish, but the flavor was lost under layers of unnecessary accompaniments and treatments. For a restaurant that proudly promotes its chef, the kitchen seems to be the weak link. In my opinion, the chef struggles with the basics--proper seasoning, thoughtful plating, and restraint. Every dish felt overdone, right down to the decorative flower on the plate. We left Wild Garlic Grill thoroughly disappointed. Not only was it the worst meal of our 5,000-mile road trip--it was also the most expensive. So here's my advice: when Yelp says one thing and a bartender named Roberto says another...maybe don't listen to Roberto. Even as a Yelp Elite reviewer, I should have trusted the reviews. Lesson learned.

Decided to stop here for Birthday dinner. Amber was our server and she was incredible! I loved how we were made to feel comfortable and had so much fun. We both had chicken and the plates were so amazing! The whole cloves of garlic melted in your mouth. Chose cheesecake as birthday dessert and wasn't disappointed.. I'm not too picky on cheesecake..... Definitely will be coming back! Hoping Amber(?) is our server again!

We wanted to try something new during Sonoran restaurant week and decided on Wild Garlic Grill after the chef won an award recently. This place clearly serves a nice meal, with the servers needing to remember a dozen specials and appetizers each night. The themeing is eclectic to say the least, we expected some garlic decor and were instead met with a replica King Tut sarcophagus. The 3 course meal was okay. The add in shrimp appetizer and the Scottish salmon were the best dishes. The soup was sub par, and the clam chowder soup de jour was burnt. Our server entered two salads instead of soup so after that had to be corrected, we didn't bother to send the soup back. The restaurant week menu made the price worth it. We won't be back for a regular meal as the price doesn't match the meals seeing as most things are served with the same side dishes.

Service is great here..attentive and they know their menu and can make good recommendations based on your preferences. Indoor and outdoor seating... and can be a place for a casual night out or a dress up event. Good cocktail and drink menu. Lots of selection of protein as well as vegetarian fare. The Gold Canyon Ribeye was delicious... the peppercorn Hennessy cognac cream complimented the dish. The grilled garlic shrimp appetizer, limoncello cake, bourbon pecan pie desserts and fig old fashioned rounded out the meal perfectly well. I did find the prices comparable to steakhouse prices... but for the value... on the fence. This by no means diminished the taste or service.

We went a few weeks ago for a graduation lunch. We had a larger party and were sat out on the patio which was lovely. I wish I remembered our servers name because he was wonderful. We had so many appetizers, drinks and everyone ordered an entree. There were mussels, caprese, shrimp, fries, beef tips and more. The espresso martini was fire!! The French martini sounded good on paper but it was actually pretty gross. I tried the special of the day ahi tuna over risotto.. it was supposed to be cooked medium rare but it was more like way beyond well done..

The food was very tasty and the portions were a nice size! Expensive but quality food! The drinks, however, were expensive and subpar. One literally tasted like paint thinner. The service was mediocre. We didn't see our waiter for nearly an hour and had to ask somebody to get him. We then politely asked for a box and he grabbed my dessert and threw it in upside down before I had a chance to do it myself. The dessert was also rather disappointing since the food was delicious. Worst crème brûlée I think I have ever had. The ambiance was lovely!

Came here for my anniversary. Service - Amber - awesome. Wine menu - awesome. Food - beyond awesome.

I have not been here in years. I'm glad to see it's still here and has ridden the restaurant economic waves. When you go inside, it's still the same. Very extensive menu. This is a very nice lunch on the higher end but the food is delicious so it's worth the money.

My daughter and I had a great brunch. I had steak and eggs and my daughter had the kale and goat…read morecheese salad. I don't eat a lot of meat, but omg, this steak was so good! It came with a béarnaise sauce, two eggs and (since I am gluten free) a mixed green salad and some gf pita. My daughter said her salad was good. She also had one of their summer drinks- a Gush and Tell--also enjoyed. We arrived around 11am, and the restaurant was pretty chill. It was livening up a bit by the time we left. Our server, Brandon, was very knowledgeable about the menu and safe options for those with gluten sensitivities. He and everyone we encountered were friendly and hospitable. The service was excellent. There's a full bar, a lovely patio and plenty of parking. Regularly, I would recommend making a reservation but this time we were seated immediately, as we arrived early for brunch.

Came here for a large party dinner and had a great time. They have great wines by the bottle menu…read moreand good menu. I had the scallop entree and it was phenomenal. The scallops were cooked perfect with a great crust and buttery texture. I was actually pretty amazed how well it paired with the risotto. It won't get you full but it sure is gourmet. Where I feel it fell short were areas of service. We were tucked in a corner and for some reason, the AC never quite reached there and it was warm. I appreciated the manager giving us a pack of ice to cool down. In addition, one member of our party had to wait for his entree to come out, about 10 min. By then, some of us were already finished with our dish. Overall it was a great experience but I think it's very important to make sure everyone in the party is served their entree at the same time. This attention to detail is so crucial for the guests. Having someone wait for their food for a long time while everyone else is eating is a seldom dinner experience.
