the Glowbal

YELPies.. this restaurant and bar is inside the Tucson Sheraton. It is a cute little spot that serves some really good food. Breakfast is included with your stay here but, the dinner menu serves some great food as well. Tipping your server is as easy as scanning a QR code and there ya go. However, I'm old school and tip my servers and personally say thank you for the great service. The service is welcoming and delightful every time. Truthfully, I always come here when the Jazz band is playing during dinner. It is a great time and they take requests. Again, my YELPies.. if you find yourself in Tucson, stay at the Tucson Sheraton on Grant and find your way to The Glowbal !

I was here on Monday evening. They have a jazz band playing live music from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. These guys are great and are associated with the national award winning Tucson Jazz Institute. Every Monday night.I had the Spaghetti Carbonara. Wow! White sauce, bacon--yes bacon!--and peas. Yeah...peas. It actually worked quite well. The peas were a good complimentary flavor and texture. The whole thing was amazingly good. And the toast on ciabatta was perfect! Light toasty crunch on the outside with butter and garlic and nice fluffy bread on the inside. Youi can even order a side of this lovely bread.Since the jazz was outside, this is where I dined. It was chilly out but they had gas bonfires going that made it comfortable.I think the waitress was the only one working for both outside (where I dined and listened to the band) and inside, so I didn't get checked on as often as I would have liked. I had to get up and get my own drink refill from the bar, but I don't fault her. She was pleasant serving us.I recommend this restaurant and the Monday night jazz is a bonus.5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money.4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business.3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it.2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money.1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

Total Score 3/5Food/Beverage (1/3) - The presentation, look, and freshness of most ingredients are what gives this at least a 1 out of 3 stars for me. What drops the two other stars are the lack of flavor and the garlic seemed to be the only thing old. The food could have used a bit more salt and spices, it relied too much on the natural flavors which was lacking. The garlic in our Hummus Platter was old and we could tell because the garlic was over potent and spicy as can be. The wife's Pasta Carbonara was probably the best item we had, it did have good flavor and was plenty to share if you're not starving. I had the Paella which was large enough for 3 people but was bland. I add a squeeze of lemon for taste, but definitely was lacking in flavor. Finally, to drink I had a Vodka Martini standard with 3 olives; hard to mess that one up.Service/Staff (1/1) - No complaints here. It wasn't busy when we arrived, so the 1 server and 1 bartender were able to take care of us. They were polite and attentive to us.Location (1/1) - This one is interesting because it is a really nice, well kept restaurant, but it is located within the Sheraton Tucson Hotel & Suites. If you are not staying at the hotel you have to enter through a side entrance, go through a lobby, then you'll be able to enter the restaurant. Even though it is hidden, the cleanliness and look and atmosphere is what keeps this star.

This is inside the Sheraton hotel. So be aware when you are searching for it The food is ok, the service is nice, the drinks are good!

Because we stay at the hotel that has this restraunt we have went their. The first few times was incredible. Decent portions and the prices were cheap. Over the last 4 months however he portions have drastically decreased and the prices haven't just went up they had a huge increase.

Restaurant inside the Sheraton. As a Marriott guest, my expectations were far higher and I am very disappointed. Staffing issues prevented the restaurant from opening either night of our stay. I tried to go for breakfast on the 1st day to no avail. Door was open but server said she was closed. Tried again the 2nd day; sat at the bar. Same server started barking the menu at me; nothing printed? She said the menu was very limited. I asked if I had to memorize it without even a cup of coffee first? She marched off. I marched out. Terrible. Ridiculous. Never coming back.

Too bad this place is hidden in the Sheraton Hotel! This place is pretty darn good and is consistent. I've stayed at the Sheraton a few times for work and usually end up at the Glowbal for dinner. The place is usually not that busy and they have happy hour until 7. The HH menu has around five bar snacks for under $7 and deals on drinks of course. The full menu is very cool and it actually glows. There is a wide variety to choose from such as pizza, burgers, sandwiches and full plates. I have tried the salmon and the curry chicken. Both are delicious. I also like their tots. So crunchy and good. The only thing they can improve is the ambiance. They need to get this place poppin. It is way to dead and boring to have all that good delicious food.

The service here is fantastic! Everyone is kind, attentive and thoughtful!Ambiance was cool-the menus light up! Good live jazz!

Excellent, as a high level Marriott member and a 250 day a year traveler this place is a treat. Since COVID it's been a mission to find above average hotel restaurant-bar. This place has it all great happy hour, great and healthy food options.

We stopped by for lunch. It was hard to find - we had to ask if we were in the right place. They gave us a black and white printed menu with only a few items, including a hot dog as a main item. This was not the menu from the website. When we asked about vegetarian options, the wait person said they could make a salad. Needless to say we left.
