Maynards hums by the railway track,With flavors bold, no taste held back.A menu short but built with skill,Where salmon please and steaks fulfill.Burrata soft, the salads bright,Each plate a crafted pure delight.And in my glass, a golden gleam,Del Bac flows like a desert dream.With charm and grace, both old and new,A timeless place I'll long pursue.

I've lived in Tucson a long time and have heard about this restaurant time and time again but never got the chance to go, until tonight. I really wanted to like it, as it's a Tucson staple, but it just fell flat.The good: the beet appetizer. Delicious! Well-balanced! 5 stars!The bad: Risotto was very over-salted, and the chicken entree was just "meh"The ugly: the focaccia. Just no. It was so dry, and when the waiter noticed it was mostly untouched, he admitted that that is a common complaint- why keep serving it? At least they took it off the bill.At these prices the food should really be spectacular, but it's not. We'll stick with some of our other familiar favorite restaurants.

Perfect spot for a date night, if looking for something a little more upscale. The ambiance is very nice and intimate. We enjoyed our appetizers of the focaccia and Brussels sprouts. For entree, I had the halibut - which I enjoyed. My partner got the Cioppino- also recommend! Would come back!

We came here Saturday night for dinner. I love the romantic setting, especially when they dim the lights later on. The watermelon salad was perfection. The squid ceviche appetizer was just ok. I didn't like the sauce it came in and the squid was tough.I really liked the sauce that came on the swordfish but there wasn't enough of it and the fish itself felt a bit overcooked. The skirt steak sauce was really good but the steak itself had too much fat and was too hard to chew. Return of Robins cocktail was really good. Railside Revelry is clarified with vanilla yogurt so I didn't try it. Their special cocktail of the night was a hibiscus margarita with foam and was too salty. The Grassed Rider was really complex and delicious and I ended up getting 2 of these. He liked his Vesper Martini.Service was perfect.

Maynard's new chef Roderick Ledesma shines with his new menu! Absolutely thrilled and delighted that we enjoyed his new creations a lot closer than Casino Del Sol. We started with a couple of cocktails and some oysters. They were both fantastic. Star, the bar manager was super attentive and had great suggestions. The vesper and rattler were super tasty. We sampled all three oyster choices, our fav, the apple granita! What a delight those were!Next we ordered the porcini pappadrelle and the chicken roulade . Tasty, decadent and delicious!! The pappadrelle has these subtle notes of Calabrian Chilies, short rib and goodness. The chicken was moist and perfectly seasoned. To end our perfect night, we had two old fashioneds, subtly smoked. Found out that they smoke the sugar. All in all, great night. We even met up with a couple of our old Maynard's bar friends who we had not seen in years! Great music, great conversation!Well done Maynard's! Chef Roderick is killing it!

We walked in a bit disgruntled from an earlier experience elsewhere and walked out raving Maynard's fans. So grateful to their team for creating such a lovely experience for us and redeeming our night out.The patio is lovely. The asparagus ferns created such a whimsical, fresh feeling. The food was heavenly. We all tasted each other's and ranked the dishes. Here are our rankings:1. Swordfish 2. Arroz Y Pollo or Hiyashi Chuka Steak 3. Vegan MoleAs for the desserts:1. Passion fruit/pineapple custard- YUM 2. Blue Corn Pound Cake Our waiter was delightful as well. Didn't get his name, but he was tall, tatted and charming.Will definitely be back next time we're in town!

Good food as always but something has changed as the food looked and tasted different today and we've been here many times. Has the chef changed maybe? New owner? Anyway, still good ambiance and good service.

Enjoyed a birthday dinner with the family at Maynards and it was fantastic. We shared the foccacia, octopus ceviche, hushpuppies and shishito peppers for appetizers. Our son didn't want to pass the hushpuppies they were so good! We had a nice variety of entrees ordered. This was the best swordfish I think I've ever had. I've never had it so juicy/moist as swordfish often ends up very dry. For the first time, our entire party finished everything on the plates - nothing to take home! The drinks may have been a little on the expensive side, but they were all really good - unfortunately, they were out of the strawberry rhubarb for their specialty drink (but still had it posted on the board)Service was great and it being in the train depot makes it a fun experience. Can't wait to go back and try next season's menu.

Great cocktails and the Mac and cheese appetizer was delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating and a separate cocktail lounge next to the dining space. The food was decent and while I would not come here for the meal alone...the ambiance, location downtown ( valet parking for $6 until midnight on a Friday night is not too bad ) and the drinks would be a good place to bring company visiting the city to.

Came here for anniversary dinner. I have celiac disease, and this restaurant is one of those that just subtracts gluten rather than figure out how to serve me a fantastic dinner. I'm celiac, not keto! After the main, rather than being asked what I would like for dessert, after a wait (when I thought the server would be by with a dessert menu), a complimentary dessert to share (presumptuous!) was put on the table. I never would have ordered such a thing. It was as if I were supposed to be grateful to have been served anything. While I didn't get sick, that's a really low bar for success at this price point. Next time, I'll choose a place with hospitality where I am welcomed with a food I actually like to eat and can relax without being made to feel like a mutant.
