Rita's Kitchen at Camelback Inn, A J.W. Marriott Resort
Savor the true taste of the southwest, both North and South of the border, at Rita's Kitchen Restaurant. Serving flavorful breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Southwestern charm and ambiance, dramatic setting and inspired cuisine. Our recipes reflect a heritage of handcrafted cuisine, lovingly prepared with garden-fresh ingredients and culinary creativity handed down from generation to generation. Enjoy one of our handcrafted signature Margaritas or house blended Sangrias. 360 degree views of Mummy Mountain and beyond. Fabulous open courtyard with fireplaces, nightly entertainment, and water features. We offer special features on holidays, please go to our website for more information.
"I stay at hotels all over the country and hate the buffets that are offered. I have to admit that the food offered in the buffet was excellent. Everything was fresh and there were tons of options for my two young boys. My wife's omelette (made at the omelette station) was cooked and seasoned perfect. We were seated by french doors that had a beautiful view of Camelback Mountain, which made my wife's day. Overall the food and ambience were excellent for a 9 AM breakfast. The service was not as good as I would expect from a J.W. Marriott property but the food definitely made up for that."

Review 2 for Rita's Kitchen at Camelback Inn, A J.W. Marriott Resort
"The service was friendly and relaxed and the atmosphere outdoors was spectacular, especially with Tim Sealy playing - he is fantastic!
Be sure not to distract the waitress with conversation, if she's making you guacamole at your table - we were double hit with salt and the dish was inedible"

"camelback inn used to be such a special place - it has lost it's charm. marriott has done a disservice to a formerly beautiful, vintage arizona resort. the classic southwestern desert atmosphere and great customer service have disappeared. time no longer stands still at camelback inn."

Review 11 for Rita's Kitchen at Camelback Inn, A J.W. Marriott Resort
"Whilst on vacation in Scottsdale from the UK we went (2 couples) to Camelback Resort & Spa for Sunday Brunch. Having previously enjoyed other Champagne Brunches, the best being at various Four Seasons we didn't expect this to compare - it did and was fabulous. The views, atmosphere, food, music and service were second to none. So good in fact we've booked again before we go home. Worth every penny!!"

"This is a beautiful property and great for entertaining in groups. The band and music outside is wonderful. The only recommendation I would make is to have more food options on the menu."

Review 15 for Rita's Kitchen at Camelback Inn, A J.W. Marriott Resort
"It goes without saying that the setting, service and food at Rita's Kitchen is an extraordinary luxury at affordable prices. For a few hours you can feel like you are on a vacation. The food is always tasty,innovative and fresh. The staff is trained to make the rounds of tables and chat with the guests. It is obvious that many people know the staff personally and there is an air of friendliness and familiarity of greetings.
Never disappoints to take a "vacation" here at Rita's Kitchen."

Review 17 for Rita's Kitchen at Camelback Inn, A J.W. Marriott Resort
"Great place for outdoor dining. Beautiful setting, very relaxing, casual, yet elegant. One can have a conversation there without screaming, and not to be overpowered by the music in the background. Very good food and great service. We always enjoy Rita's kitchen and it is our place of choice to celebrate different occasions there together with our children and grandchildren and friends. Thank you!"

Review 26 for Rita's Kitchen at Camelback Inn, A J.W. Marriott Resort
"While I would recommend the Brunch at the Camelback Inn, I would do so with caveats. For those that have experienced it before, it is not the same as it once was. Gone are the Lamb Chops and the large selection of shell fish. Gone is the IceCream and Bananas Foster station. Instead they replaced them with a far overcooked Leg of Lamb at the chopping station, a small selection of jumbo cooked cocktail shrimp an a small pile of crab legs. Instead of Ice Cream and flaming bananas we were treated to a crepe station. While not a bad idea in and of itself, it just did not tickle my particular fancy.
While everything else was superb, the pastry chef must have had the day off. Gritty meringue was just one of the details that we found in the dese"

Review 27 for Rita's Kitchen at Camelback Inn, A J.W. Marriott Resort
"Excellent casual resort dining with 5 star resort level personalized service. Live musician added to the wonderful ambience of patio dining in this beautiful setting. The food was superb; the sea bass special perfectly cooked, moist and flavorful. The chicken enchiladas with red sauce were also a hit. Although we did not try any wines, they had an excellent array of drinks including mojitos and margaritas we did enjoy. My wife and I will definitely be back again soon."

Review 28 for Rita's Kitchen at Camelback Inn, A J.W. Marriott Resort
"The wait staff were very noisy setting up and moving tables and heaters near our table. Glasses and cutlery were not placed on the tables, but were dropped onto the tables creating a lot of noise so much so I and my guest had to stop talking and wait until they were finished. More noise was created by dragging the tables when they were being repositioned, instead of being lifted and placed. All in all, not very satisfactory."
