Blue Willow Restaurant

The Bad Willow. While the food was par, the service was slow, and i felt more like an intruder than a customer. You get over the charm of the gift shop after you've waited for an hour plus in the poorly-ventilated, swamp-cooled, over-priced closet only to be seated by an unprofessional looking hostess that was neither organized or friendly. Once seated, it took 15 minutes to be approached by one person, who passed the drink order on to someone else who got it wrong. There was lettuce on my coffee cup and the food was good, not great- my eggs were sort of soupy and the toast was burnt. I had heard positive things, but after my last experience I don't dare giving this place a second chance.…

Nice atmosphere and a good food. I am visiting Tuscon and asked the front desk at the hotel for ideas about a vegetarian restuarant for my wife's palate. The Blue Willow was recommended and we both had a delicious meal. The atmosphere is comfortable and the prices are fair. My only complaint is there seemed to be some confusion who was waiting our table and it took a very long time to get approached...almost to the point I left. Observing other tables, this did not seem the norm so I do not this this is typical. Once a server can to the table, they were pleasant and the food was brought out in a reasonable time. If you have not tried Blue Willow yet and you are from Tuscon, do go, what a treat!…

Great vegetarian selections. This is one of my favorite restaurants for breakfast. I no longer live in Tucson but I go out of my way to eat here anytime I am in town. As a vegetarian for many years, I appreciate their wide array of menu choices and they will substitute or add their delicious tofu to most of their dishes. i especially like the the tofu scramble, breakfast burrito and fresh gazpacho. They also have iced herbal peppermint tea that is refreshing in summer.…

great signature dishes but service needs work.. Blue willow has a handful of breakfast dishes that are super yummy and the rest is just o.k. The tofu scramble with brown rice and spinach is a favorite. Pancakes are awesome and the very southwestern blue willow special is really good. Coffee is not as bad as the snob from NY posted. Most people go for breakfast but they also have a few dinner items i.e. fish, that are definitely worth trying. Staff is not usually very friendly or on the ball but it's not fine dining so whatever! Great place for breakfast with friends or family.…
