About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
Cielos at Lodge on the Desert offers one of the best dining options in Southern Arizona. Dine on contemporary seasonal cuisine that pays tribute to Southwest ingredients. Complemented by classic craft cocktails featuring local spirits and a delectable wine list, Cielos is the perfect place for a romantic night out or a casual happy hour with friends.
The intimate space is framed with floor-to-ceiling windows and overlooks a spacious secluded Saltillo-tiled outdoor private patio featuring bistro string lighting, a four-sided, tiled fireplace for optimal year-round al fresco dining. Cielos and its Bar both reflect a genuine, richly authentic Southern Arizona historic charm and ambience including rough-hewn artist-design hand-painted wood beams, Mexican tin chandeliers, floating potted plants and shade sails.

    I took my boyfriend for his birthday to Cielos. They were very timely and our server was very nice and attentive. The food tasted amazing and fresh. They also were so kind to serve us a free dessert for the birthday.

    Delicious Easter Brunch! Invited my sister after her husband passed away and the ambiance was quiet, quaint and lovely. Prime rib and salmon were cooked to perfection. Colossal shrimp on the appetizer table, incredible bread pudding and pecan pie! We will be back!

    The food was delicious and the patio was charming. I had the trout and my husband had a salad with grilled chicken. It was a nice way to relax on a beautiful day after a lot of walking at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. Service was prompt and friendly. I enjoyed the house margarita while my husband had a craft beer. They have a happy hour 3-6 pm. We had a dinner reservation at 6 pm.

    A very nice surprise! Excellent food! A sweet Inn. I’d give it 5* but needs better lighting in the dining area -a bit tired, but, that’s typical for Tucson. Otherwise, wonderful Tamales & Short Rib entrees. Well done!

    My friend and I stayed at the hotel and after reading some reviews, decided to eat at Cielos for dinner. We really enjoyed the bar and the live jazz music earlier in the evening and went back for dinner. The hostess was so helpful and concerned to seat us in an area away from a larger group. Service was excellent and the food was amazing! Highly recommend.
