Janos Review

Chef Janos Wilder was one of the first to reinvent Southwestern cuisine, and the menu, wine list, and service place this restaurant among the finest in the West. The hillside location on the grounds of the Westin La Paloma is a stunning backdrop for such dishes as sweet and spicy glazed quail with butternut-squash cannelloni, salmon with a scallop mousse served on polenta, and venison loin with chile-lime paste and pecans.

Have a drink or a more casual meal of Latin-inspired fare next door at J Bar, a lively and lower-priced venue for sampling Janos's outstanding cuisine. Twinkling city lights make patio seating a romantic choice here.

    The first couple of times we stayed at the Westin La Paloma we had dinner here because it was so convenient. But no more. Neither the food nor the service justify the prices. There are MUCH better choices in Tucson, e.g. Acacia or Soleil.

    We were very disappointed in Janos. I don't understand all the glowing reviews. Our steaks were overcooked, and we had to ask the server for steak knives. A well-done filet mignon is the kiss of death in my book! The service wasn't bad, but I didn't feel it measured up other fine dining places. I don't like to get the feeling that the servers don't like their jobs but are putting up a front, which is how I felt there. My husband and I feel like we blew a lot of money on a ho-hum dinner experience.
