Just got back from an awesome brunch. Food was great and great live entertainment to boot. Prices were good. Social distancing and cleanliness were obvious. Reservations were easy to make. Surprised that more people werent there. Truly a hidden gem. Hope more people go and support this local business.

Good food, great bar, live music, all outdoors! And theyre taking Covid seriously - requiring masks at all times unless youre seated at your table. Highly recommended.

Fun band last night, brother El and the African group with tribal/bushmen music of celebration had everyone on their feet dancing! Folks came in from all over the place to be there LA, Africa for examples of few. They play the last Saturday of the month. Great group Mike. Thanks for the invite El. Food was great and their drinks are a great pour. Service was on their toes! Loved our server last night she was great and accommodating!

This was my first time going to Monterey Court. It was great! Live music, Black Cat Bones, was awesome, really great rock and blues. Service was excellent as was the food. Great beer selection and coffee was amazing. My wife and I plan to make this a regular date night.

A hidden oasis on Miracle Mile. The outdoor patio is a perfect place to sit outside, have some food and drinks, and then check out the surrounding boutiques and shops. Friendly staff and great food. The goat cheese stuffed dates were so delicious!! And apperently they have one of the best burgers in Tucson? I have yet to try a burger but I will go back!

New years we will never forget! A party of six, 2 1/2 hours waiting for three meals ( not 6) that came out cold with not even water to drink! The owner said she’d take of it but charged us for any bites we took... cold or not. Music is always good, don’t try to enjoy a meal, this isn’t the first bad experience we’ve had. Paid $40 for two small glasses of wine.Never so much as an apologies! Many years of dinning out, this is the second worst experience ever! 10:00pm, New Year’s Eve, hungry 50 minutes from homeDon’t waist your time!All they want is money ... they don’t care if you’ve enjoyed it at all!

What a fun, unique nightspot! A great place to hear local music, have a well made drink and enjoy a good meal. Still Life Telescope, Saint Augustine, and The Unday played the last time we were there and all three were really great. Well be going back very soon.

Beautifully re-purposed motor lodge. Artisan shops open onto a courtyard restaurant and bar. The upscale pub fare dishes are generously portioned and the service is friendly.

I want to add a statement and a review. It feels as if the Monty has come into its own - earlier in the year the service was rough, and it would often be chaotic. Recently I attended KIAS and got food and drink - the food was delicious and fresh and the service was on point and organized. Much more friendly and present even though it was a busy night. This is a great little Tucson venue, and I appreciate that they created this space and revitalized a depressed area. Great job!

Have the band Roadhouse back. They were soooo good. The dance floor was full all night long!Things to know. Monterey Court has helped making it not so cold to be there. We brought down jackets but didnt need them. They have made coverings and it is very comfortable to sit and dance all night long in a sweater!Come experience live music, Tucson.

This place has so much character and charm. Its part of Tucsons history. It was an old motel on the famed Miracle Mile converted into artist studios and restaurant. You can shop for unique art and jewelry and have an excellent meal, wash it down with one of the many craft brews all while listening to a bevy live music every night from local and regional musicians. Looking for something a little different and off the beaten path? This is it!

Review №22

The ambiance is terrific. Service is slow..food usually ok...(English muffin had a slight moldy flavor, hair on my plate grossed me out this last time I went. When I complained, waitstaff comped me the meal-hope she didnt have to pay for it-I left a $5 tip and I hope she got to keep it.) I am not fond of the owner here but the food is usually good and its such a unique place that I keep re-trying.

Review №23

It may be on Miracle Mile, but dont let that stop you from going to Monterey Court. Its a really cute, cozy outdoor restaurant with an outdoor bar and art galleries. Parking is very limited. There is a live band every night and theyre excellent. The service was not very good the night I went, which was a Halloween event, so maybe they werent ready for so many tables all at once.

Review №27

I should start by saying this is a review of the restaurant portion of this place, NOT the shops(check those out!) Wait staff was over worked with atleast 4-6 big tablea as some events just let out. Waitress took a long time before taking drink orders then took 4 to 5 tables orders before ours.(we were an 8 top) then put them all in at once. Lets just skip ahead a an hour and a half before all our food and appetizers came out all together... most barely warm. Oh and after some time after finishing my first beer the waitress took my order and proceeded to light candles on every table in the court yard before putting in my second beer. Over heard her saying her boss will kill her if the tiny candles werent lit that moment. Candles didnt light anything we had to use our phones flash lights. I try not to judge to harshly but they had a band and should have planned better. If its not busy go eat and I believe it will be good but if at all busy management has set they up to fail and they do. See pictures aioli was separated (although give them credit for trying and mac n cheese was generic. (Maybe if they were hotter and fresher would have been better)Good luck.

Former Motel on Miracle Drive, nicely turned into a live music restaurant. Every night free or cheap shows with more or less local bands. Very nice outside patio. Food and drinks are good. I always spend a wonderful night in Monterey Court!

Finally ventured over to Miracle Mile to check out this landmark. What a great surprise as I was able to find my friends in a large open-aired seating area. A stage is situated in the middle of the courtyard so music can be seen and heard by everyone. The band was banging out some great tunes and even a small dance floor to get your groove on with somebody. Very good, attentive cocktail server took care of us and led to a great evening.

This is a cool little venue you can go by yourself and feel comfortable, or go with friends the music is always great! I would suggest having reservations, it can get pretty busy on some nights. They have a cute little dance floor that you can get out shake a leg on! Its a definite go-to place, I love taking out-of-towners there!

This place was a total surprise. A friend bought tickets to see Kyle Cook here. If you live in Tucson, you know this is not the best part of town. BUT when we arrived the people were so friendly and we had a seat in the front row! Wow, we were only 15 feet from the performers. We had drinks and appetizers during the concert. Both were very good. We saw burgers coming out of the kitchen that looked really good. I highly recommend this venue for intimate music events. There are also some shops in this old Miracle Mile hotel.

One of Tucsons best well kept secretVery well located I chose this restaurant as a meeting point for my family traveling from New Mexico and just passing by. To our surprise the Italian menu they had was a combination of classic Italian, nouvelle cuisine...not a pizza place!Their sandwiches were awesome and delicious! Definitely a place to be highly recommended.

Charged 3 bucks for an iced tea and was not given a single refill. I had no one visit my table, offer to clear my dishes, or anything . They did not even bring the check until I specifically requested it.

This is a great place to meet up with friends, listen to fantastic local music and have delicious food to boot! It is basically outdoors in a courtyard with a covered pavilion, misters and trees. I like the fact that you can hear the music from anywhere and it feels intimate even if the place is rocking and rowdy! It has a diverse genre of bands that are mostly local, but national and international musicians do show up there to play as well. It has something for everyone on any given night.

This place has good food (including a very nice gluten-free bun) and, quite amazingly, makes a great mocha. I was floored by how really well this not-a-coffee-shop restaurant/venue makes coffee. It is also very welcoming to kids in school musical groups.The location could be better. Miracle Mile needs a miracle!

The hamburgers are so yummy, sweet potatoe fries, cold brewed coffe, who could ask for more. Well be back, the food was great. Danny and Jessica of Loyas Courtyard recommended it.

I was tired from cooking for over 200 people today so my wife and I opted to let someone else cook for us. We decided to try Forno 301 as we were new to the area and had never been there.We walked in and said that we wanted a table in the patio but due to crosswinds that were carrying the water from the misters down, we opted to sit at the bar

Review №94

So much fun. Live music in a huge outdoor, covered and heated (when needed) area with a small stage for dancing. People are always GREAT here! Courtyard is surrounded by small cozy shop. We love the atmosphere at night. Fun live music with a variety of groups playing, but music is usually at a level where you can visit with friends. Also, even when the weather is not that great, they do everything they can to make it great under the courtyard roof where the meals are served. Great food and really great cocktails. There are several little wings to the courtyard area where you can get a table in a smaller, more cozy setting as well. We have thoroughly enjoyed our visits here and will be back for more. Oh ... several great vegan and vegetarian menu options as well.
