"We had the Surf & Turf. The Lobster tail was quite a good size and was perfectly delicious. The fillet was small, about 4 ounces but it was the best meat I've had since I've been in Arizona, very tender and flavorful and topped with a nice sauce. Accompanied with risotto and asparagus.

The restaurant overlooks the lights of Tucson. You can dine inside and see the view through the wall to wall windows or on the balcony and enjoy the evening breezes.

All in all it was a very enjoyable evening."

"Service was very SLOW considering the number of diners in the restaurant. Turns out, wait staff was responsible for this dining room and an adjacent bar that also served dinner. Food was very disappointing. Broiled lobsters were soaked in water, steaks were extremely well done, a second attempt at a piece of steak still came back pink inside when guest asked for rare with a cool red center, shrimp dish was not close to how it was described on menu. Wine list was useless with many of the moderatly priced wines out of stock leaving no choices under $200. Definitely recommend leaving the property for food if you stay at the Westward Look."

"My husband and I were just looking for a nice restaurant in Tucson with easy access and good food, and we found it! We shared the prawn appetizer which was delicious and we both had the salmon and it was cooked perfectly and so fresh. The view of Tucson was beautiful especially at dusk. We also overlooked the pool and it was fun to see the kids playing. The service was superb and everything from the bread and butter to the dessert (creme brulee) was exceptional. A nice bonus was that the grounds were beautiful as was the hotel."

"The last time we ate at Gold the resort was under other management. During that visit we had great food and decent seating, but our evening started out poorly as we charged $40 for two Skyy vodka martinis. If you know vodka, you know Skyy costs around $20 for a 1.5-liter bottle...clearly old management was trying to make a buck. This dulled our whole evening and even the great food couldn't remedy it.

This time was much better!!! We had great, reasonably priced drinks, including wine. The food was amazing and our seats gave us a dramatically beautiful view of what seemed like all of Tucson. The service was a tiny bit slow but we were enjoying everything so much we didn't care. We will definitely go back!"

"Shown to our table immediately, waited 10+ min and were on the verge of leaving when we were finally acknowledged. Wait person then took our wine order, and our food order at the same time...hurrying. I asked that the fish be "cooked thru" but not dried out; I did not want raw fish in the center. Well. Guess what. It was cooked through & through -- and was dry and hard at places. We then waited and waited and waited, looking for the wait person so we could get another glass of wine. No where in sight. An hour and a half meal should be pleasant, but this was an ordeal and not worth the $100+ tab. This was our 2nd time here, and our last. There are too many wonderful places in Tucson to waste our time and money here."

"We had a very good breakfast and lunches at Gold, but were disappointed in our dinner. It was a fairly standard three course meal. Since we were there for Valentibes Day, we expected a bit more. My husband gphad a ribeye steak and I had duck. Both entreses were good, but covered in think sauces. Presentation was disappointing. Neither of us ate our dessert which was dry and tasteless."

"A nice quiet restaurant with great views and very good food. The wine list was good,, not extensive, but very overpriced. An interesting "date Night" feature menu on Thursday nights at a nice price. A little too chilly for al fresco dining the night we were there, but it has a beautiful veranda for great dining with spectacular views."
