AMEX, DC, DIS, MC, V. This classic Tucson restaurant is in the process of reinventing itself after a major renovation, followed by a devastating kitchen fire. The entrées are executed well, with attention to detail. The flavors lean toward Southwestern, with a few oddities thrown in. It’s defi-nitely worth a visit. (12-16-10) $$-$$$$

DIABLOS SPORTS BAR AND GRILLS 2545 S. Craycroft Road. 514-9202. Open Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-2 a.m.; Sunday 9:30 a.m.-2 a.m. Café/Full Bar. DIS, MC, V. Diablos takes standard bar fare and kicks it up a notch with spicy, well-prepared appetizers, burgers, sandwiches and salads. With more than 20 TVs, you won’t miss a minute of the game while enjoying tall, cold beers and really hot wings, served with a smile. (7-29-10) $-$$

MULLIGAN’S SPORTS GRILLE 9403 E. Golf Links Road. 733-5661. Open daily 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Café/Full Cover. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. This eastside sports bar is doing some pretty good stuff in its kitchen. The steak sandwich is delicious, and the burgers feature big slabs o’ Angus beef. The patio is lovely (if you don’t mind the view of Golf Links Road), and the Irish/golf-themed décor is very, very green. (11-10-11) $$

THROWBACKSC 3620 N. First Ave. 293-7670. Open daily 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Café/Full Bar. DIS, MC, V. The owners of Throwbacks have done a great job revamping the place from its former dive bar days. With a decent selection of beers on tap and in the bottle, Throwbacks is a great place to catch a sporting event on one of the two dozen TVs strategically placed around the bar. Service is friendly, and the food isn’t your typical freezer-to-fryer bar fare—it’s fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and quite tasty. (04-17-14) $$

FINI’S LANDINGNE 5689 N. Swan Road 299-1010. Open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-midnight; Friday 11 a.m.-2 a.m.; Saturday 8 a.m.-2 a.m.; Sunday 8-11 a.m. Café/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. The only problem with this northeast side bar and grill is that there isn’t a beach nearby. Although after a few cold brews and a couple of tacos, you may just hear the faint sound of waves crash-ing on the shore. The food here is down-to-earth, and there are plenty of seafood choices. From the oysters Ensenada on the starter menu to the clever pangas—grilled romaine lettuce boats, Fini’s does it right. There are 15 different tacos on the menu, and as with any great beach bar, the beers are varied and served ice cold. (10-10-13) $-$$

AN DEL SOLS 5655 W. Valencia Road, inside Casino del Sol. 838-7177. Open Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Full Cover/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. Mr. An’s dining ventures seem to get better and better. The menu is gigantic, so it can be hard to choose. We were knocked out by the tuna tartare and completely surprised by the sweet-and-sour fish. The sushi rolls have clever names; the Big Birtha comes to mind. While the prices are a little high, the portion sizes more than make up for it. (5-5-11)$$-$$$$

HANA TOKYOS 5435 S. Calle Santa Cruz, No. 185. 807-2212. Open Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Café/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. The second Hana Tokyo—the first one is in Sierra Vista—offers a huge selection of Japanese offerings, including teppan yaki. However, it’s the sushi artistry that makes Hana Tokyo stand out; the enormous scorpion roll is actually shaped like a scorpion, for example. Not only do the sushi rolls look cool; they taste great, too. (7-21-11) $$-$$$$

KAZOKU SUSHI AND JAPANESE CUISINEE 4210 E. Speedway Blvd. 777-6249. Open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-9:30 p.m.; Friday 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Saturday noon-10 p.m. Bistro/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. The sushi and other offerings at Kazoku will delight

your taste buds, and the décor is beautiful. The lack of an all-you-can-eat option means you should bring a loaded wallet. (1-14-10) $-$$$

MR. AN’S TEPPAN STEAK AND SUSHINW 6091 N. Oracle Road. 797-0888. Open Monday-Friday 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Full Cover/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, VISA. There’s fire! There’s fish! There’s fun! All brought to you by Tucson’s hospitality icon, Mr. An. The teppan side of the menu offers all the usual goodies prepared by some of the friendliest teppan chefs in town. You can get regular sushi items as well. But then there are the house specialties like the Mango Crunch or the Summerhaven or even the improbable Bleu Panda. Any way you choose, this is a great choice for a fun family night out or a special occasion. (8-26-10) $$-$$$

SUSHI LOUNGES 4802 S. Sixth Ave. 294-4408. Open daily 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Bistro/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. Another sushi option has finally arrived on the southside! With an extensive menu featuring not only sushi, but also many other Chinese and Japanese appetizer and entrée options, there is something for everyone. If you find yourself suddenly missing those other southside restau-rants, order your sushi rolls “Mexican style,” and they’ll add onions and jalapeños. (6-28-12) $$-$$$

SUSHI TENE 4500 E. Speedway Blvd., Suite 1. 324-0010. Open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and 5-9:30 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and 5-10 p.m.; Sunday 5-9 p.m. Café/Sushi Bar. Beer, Wine and Sake. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. After several years of turbulent own-ership changes, it appears this onetime Tucson favorite has made a nice comeback. The sushi and nigiri is fresh and tasty; the all-you-can-eat ($19.95) and happy-hour/lunch deals (with much of the menu offered for half-price) are amazing. (8-5-10) $-$$$

SUSHI TRANNW 9725 N. Thornydale Road, No. 49. 579-6604. Open Sunday-Thursday 5 to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 5 to 9:30 p.m. Bistro/Beer and Wine. MC, V. Sushi Tran, tucked away in a northwest-side strip mall, boasts friendly service and good sushi rolls and nigiri, with a wide range of non-sushi Asian and Pacific Rim dishes, too. Skip the sashimi, but don’t miss out on the green-mussel appetizer. Expect to spend at least $25 per person in a family-friendly environment that is quiet and clean. (1-28-10) $$-$$$

TAKAMATSUE 5532 E. Speedway Blvd. 512-0800. Open Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-midnight. Bistro/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. After a devastating fire, Takamatsu is back. If you like Japanese or Korean food, you’ll find plenty of tasty entrées here, although the emphasis is on Korean bar-becue and sushi (including the tempting all-you-can-eat option for $19.95). For an interactive, do-it-yourself treat, try preparing the Korean barbecue yourself at your table. (12-1-11) $$-$$$

SAING THAI CUSINES 9136 E. Valencia Road, Suite 100. 663-5955. Open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-8:30 p.m.; Friday 11 a.m.-9 p.m.; Saturday noon-9 p.m.; Sunday noon-8:30 p.m. Café/Beer and Wine. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. Far-eastside residents, take notice: You have a gem in your neighbor-hood. Sa’ing Thai is a mom and pop place that puts out a wide assortment of Thai food. Curries and soups come to the table sizzling hot and full of flavor. Balance is the key word here. The tom kah koong is served in a hot pot and is creamy and sweet, savory and spicy, all in one spoonful. The pun sib, the Thai version of pot stickers, are huge and cooked to perfection. Even the old standby pad Thai was elevated to levels of flavor not found elsewhere in town. (2-21-13) $$

AGUSTIN KITCHENW 100 S. Avenida del Convento, Suite 150. 398-5382. Open Tuesday-Thursday 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Friday 11 a.m.-midnight; Saturday 10 a.m.-midnight; Sunday 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Full Cover/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. We dined on items that were among the best of that sort of dish we’d ever eaten, whether the deeply flavor-ful “gunslinger red and lime” crispy calamari from the appetizer menu or the main dishes including the braised lamb shank, the sous vide hangar steak and the diver scallop and pork belly. The desserts were also stel-lar, in particular the pistachio gelato. The drinks were also uniformly delicious. (3-20-14) $$$

BOB’S STEAK AND CHOP HOUSENW 2727 W. Club Drive, at the Omni Tucson National Resort. 877-2377. Open Tuesday-Thursday 5:30-9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 5:30-10 p.m. Full Cover/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. Bob’s is the epitome of resort dining, with quality ingredients—including prime beef and good drinks—a clubby décor and great ser-vice. You’ll pay a lot, but for that special occasion, it might be worth it. The veal chop is simply seasoned yet amazingly flavorful. Every entrée comes with a choice of hearty potatoes (smashed, baked or pan-fried) and a glazed carrot that Bugs Bunny would envy. (4-29-10)$$$$

CORE KITCHEN AND WINE BARNW Inside the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, 15000 N. Secret Springs Drive. 572-3000. Open daily 7-11 a.m. and 5:30-9 p.m. Full Cover/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, DC, MC, V. CORE provides food-lovers with a great reason to make the long trek northwest. The accommodating, knowledgeable chefs and staff at this swanky hotel are geniuses at work, but never fear: You don’t have to break out the suit and tie for this trip. The comfortable atmosphere adds to the playful and delicious breakfast, appetizer, entrée and dessert offerings. Don’t miss the chile pop rocks served with the bigeye tuna sashimi for an experience that delights all the senses. (11-11-10)$$-$$$$

NOX KITCHEN & COCKTAILSNE 6370 N. Campbell Ave. 529-5849. Open daily 11:30 a.m.-1 a.m. Bistro/Full Bar. AMEX, DISC, MC, V. Nox caters to an upscale foothills clientele, but it’s worth the trip up north for the impeccably executed food and drink. An eclectic menu borrows from many cuisines and cultures, from Southern slow-cooked short ribs to Asian-influenced pork belly sliders and mussels with spicy Spanish chorizo. The service is prompt and friendly, and the food is excellent and well executed. Don’t miss the house specialty cocktails. (5-22-14)$$-$$$

PY STEAKHOUSES 5655 W. Valencia Road, inside Casino del Sol. (800) 344-9435. Open Tuesday-Thursday 4 to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 4-11 p.m. Full Cover/Full Bar. AMEX, DC, DIS, MC and V. True fine dining has come to Casino del Sol with PY Steakhouse. Offering impec-cable service, amazing cocktails and some fine steak and seafood offerings, PY is a great place for a special occasion.

THE TASTEFUL KITCHENC 722 N. Stone Ave. 250-9600. Open Tuesday-Saturday 5-9 p.m. Café/BYO. DIS, MC, V. The Tasteful Kitchen is trying to bring vegan, vegetarian and raw food into the mainstream. The bright and colorful entrées and delicious desserts will appeal to even the most dedicated carnivore. Reservations are recom-mended. (4-26-12) $$

PHO 1C 2226 N. Stone Ave. 670-1705. Open Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Café/No Alcohol. MC and V. With a long list of pho variations, other soups, enticing appetizers and rice dishes featuring a full array of pro-teins, this little Vietnamese joint offers great food across the board. Pho is the draw, of course, but we would have been happy with a couple of appetizers and the house fried chicken. The address says Stone Avenue, but the restaurant is really located on the south side of Sahuaro Street. (2-9-12) $-$$

THE ABBEY EAT + DRINKNE 6960 E. Sunrise Drive. 299-3132. Open Tuesday-Thursday 4-9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 4 p.m.-10 p.m.; Sunday 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Bistro/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. The Abbey is continuing the trend of dishing up comfort foods with a gourmet twist. With inventive cocktails, a well-balanced wine list and friendly service, it’s a spot not to be missed. The Abbey burger re-imagines a true American classic in a delightful and delicious way, and desserts are to die for. Reservations are strongly recommended. (1-17-11)$$-$$$

BLUE WILLOWC 2616 N. Campbell Ave. 327-7577. Open Monday-Friday 7 a.m.-9 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m.-9 p.m. Café/Beer and Wine. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. Blue Willow has been one of Tucson’s favorite breakfast spots for decades, and it lives up to the hype. Delicious, filling breakfast food is perfect for a causal weekend meal with the family or for a morning-after cure-all. The oasis-like patio makes outdoor dining even better than usual in Tucson’s mild months. Despite being known for breakfast, Blue Willow also serves up a tasty lunch and dinner. Get there early for breakfast or prepare to wait (although the awesome gift shop makes the wait much less painful). (5-2-13) $$

BODEGA KITCHEN & WINEC 4340 N. Campbell Ave., Suite 164. 395-1025. Open Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Café/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. This St. Philip’s Plaza restaurant offers a casual yet chic vibe and enough choices to please most palates. Small plates are the idea although full entrées are also on the menu. The baked mussels are rich and a little spicy and the risotto balls are kind of quirky. Steak is on both the lunch and dinner menu, and some of the sides are big enough to count as a meal. We liked the haricots vert. The wine list is interesting and you should be able to find something you like. (5-1-14) $$-$$$

CAFE TREMOLONW 7401 N. La Cholla Blvd., No. 152. 742-2999. Open Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.-9:30 p.m.; Sunday 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Café/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. Cafe Tremolo is like a Tucson version of the Hard Rock Café—except with better food. Beautifully presented entrées, sandwiches and desserts make this an ideal lunch or dinner spot, and if you know anything about classic rock or jazz, you can geek out at the awesome collection of music memorabilia. Friendly service and a full bar make the experience complete. (9-16-10) $$

AMEX, DIS, MC, V. This longtime eastside spot is a neighborhood favorite. No surprises, just good solid modern American fare. The burgers are popular and there is a nice list of Dakota “favorites” including the rich, luscious shrimp enchila-das. Cocktails are retro without trying to be. The patio is cool and shady and offers great views of Trail Dust Town. A little old and a little new, Dakota offers some-thing for everyone. (07-11-13) $$-$$$

DRY RIVER COMPANYE 800 N. Kolb Road. 298-5555. Open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-9 p.m.; Friday 11 a.m.-midnight; Saturday 11:30 a.m.-midnight; Sunday 11:30 a.m.-8 p.m. Counter/Full Bar. AMEX, DIS, MC, V. This is a nifty little place that offers everything from light break-fasts to delicious pizzas to happy hour and beyond. Enjoy these with one of the specialty coffees. Pizzas are baked in a wood-fired oven; toppings include all the old standbys as well as twists like potatoes. Sandwiches, salads and pastas round out the menu. (11-18-10) $-$$

ELLIOTT’S ON CONGRESSC 135 E. Congress St. 622-5500. Open Sunday-Wednesday 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; Thursday-Saturday 11 a.m.-1 a.m.; bar open until 2 a.m., daily. Café/Full Bar. DIS, MC, V. Elliott’s on Congress features simple entrées—salads, sandwiches, burgers and the like—often with a tasty twist. The vodka infusions are fun; the service is good; the prices are reasonable.
