Tonto Bar & Grill, gives diners a view of modern desert life with a peek into the past. The restaurant sits on what was once Native American land and later used as a stopover camp for the U.S. Cavalry, and the building itself was part of the prestigious Rancho Mañana dude ranch. It’s chock-full of the charm of earlier eras, displaying ranching implements, vintage 1940s photos and original architecture. Today, friendly service, fine casual cuisine, and comfortable atmosphere combine for a rustic yet upscale dinin

    Walleye and Harvest salad is excellent. Food comes out fast so if you want a slower pace hold your order until you finish your appetizers. Meals are always hot and delicious.

    We had a large salad, the corn chowder, vegetarian relleno and a Reuben. We took half of it home. So if you’re not into sharing and carrying, think about the smaller portions.

    Excellent Easter lunch. Perfect portion sizes and excellent service. We did have a bit of a wait for our outdoor patio table but it was worth it!

    Easter Brunch was overbooked. Arived on time for a 12:20 reservation waited 45 minutes for a table. Wait staff was exceptional, when informed of a 2:00 appointment that we had to be at when we were seated she entered our menu selection immediately, delivered main course at 1:40 and packed our desert to go. Overbooking and delayed seating rushed the experience.

    We had a perfect brunch from start to finish. The interior of the restaurant, and the dining patio are charming. Service was impeccable and our meal was delicious. Nothing more could be said other than thank you to Tonto for a memorable and satisfying dining experience.

    Overall nothing above average. We went for Easter brunch. Food and service was average or below. We had a table for 10 and we knew it would be outside which was fine. They did have umbrellas but when we wanted to move them a little the guy who seemed to be a manager was very annoyed by it. I guess he preferred half our table be in the sun. He was not helpful at all and made us feel bad for asking. Not the way an expensive Easter brunch should be. Food was very average. Would not go back.

    Absolute “Go to” spot for taking out of town guests…..but why just limit it to those times. This should be a staple of the local restaurants you visit.
