   The service with Kawain and Darrin was amazing! The Huevos Rancheros were to die for.

   Beautiful outdoor seating area with live music and backdrop of camelback mountain. Guac and Salsa trio was amazing. Short rib was one of the best we’ve ever had. Our server, Johnny, was fantastic! He brought us a comped dessert that said Happy 3rd Anniversary and gave us cold water bottles to take back to the room.

   We arrived at 10:30 to claim our reservation. At that time we were advised full Buffet started at 11:00 and cost was $89.00. Had we known that, we would have arrived earlier aand had more time to enjoy the Buffet.

   Really pleasant setting with quality live entertainment. The service was fast and good. Would recommend outdoor seating near the water features for the best view, but these are also the loudest tables since they are so close to the musician.

   Food was delicious. Service was excellent. Ambiance on patio listening to music was terrific. The only criticism is that the menu was somewhat limited.

   My biggest problem is the stomach ache and nausea I experienced about 30-45 minutes following my pork belly dinner. I am positive it wasn’t anything else because that’s all I had within a 5 hour window. Thankfully the nausea and pain subsided 3 hours after my dinner.

   It's a very nice patiio. We were out of tea and water a couple times and for the cost this should not happen. The cost was just exorbitant for what we had inspire of the ambiance. $100 for enchiladas, chips, rice and drink. Should have been the best ever and it was not close. Very nice but just way to expensive for the product.

   We stayed on property this trip and truly enjoyed every night. All servers at breakfast and dinner were wonderful. We got an anniversary gift of Churros Monday. Thank you all. We enjoyed Aran, Eli Ethan and all others treated us so well. We can’t remember everyone’s name😎

    Gone are days of getting sides with your meal! I ordered Chicken enchiladas and if I wanted beans and rice it was an additional $14??!?!? WTH! I’ve been coming to this resort annually for 25+ years. Slightly disappointed with how the menus has changed … less food, higher cost.

    It was a graduation celebration for two of my kids. We had a reservation set for 15 people. I had confirmed the day before and made sure my request for the indoor table next to a window was in place. This was confirmed. We did not have a window. Next to a window. We were centered in the far dining room which was extremely loud. I picked indoor due to it being hot out. Our table was place near an open door that servers used to enter/exit for outdoor service so it was warmer than the front dining room. We were set for a table of 15 but we’re short two place settings. We were lucky we had two no shows or it would’ve have been incredibly uncomfortable. I routinely pick Rita’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner celebrations. It’s unfortunate to have so many misgivings on one day.

    We’ve been going for years. The menu is bad & food okay for the money. Burrito bowl is no better than chipotle. This pains me because it was our absolute favorite. Not sure we’ll be back. $40 for bland salmon and super sweet apple purée is not going to get me back.

    My hat is off to Stephanie, Patsy, and Deanna for their attention and hustle. They pulled together a very nice business lunch for five for me. All in my party were pleased with the quality of their meals. Big thanks to for the bubbly! Rita’s is a favorite place for to conduct working lunches. Food, service, and location/ambience are tops.

    We love sitting outside at Rita’s and listening to the live music. They really changed their menu during/after the pandemic so they are missing some great items. They had the best table side guacamole but now they don’t have it. They also had good fajitas but those are also gone. The food is fine but we continue to go for the ambience more than for the food. Please bring back those items!

    Just an outstanding breakfast outside at Rita’s. The background music was excellent and not load enough to impede our conversation. Waitress was excellent and attending to our needs. Great buffet food, fresh and very good. We have dined here many times for the Sunday buffet breakfast and full buffet and will come again. Very satisfied and you can’t go wrong at Rita’s!

    Love the atmosphere and the service was good. I haven’t been here for years. Food has gone waaaaayyyyy downhill since the last time I had been here. Would probably never go back unless they do a total revamp of quality of food. It’s a shame because it’s such a beautiful setting.

    We had the best time dining at Camelback! At Lincoln, Kawain, Angel, and Frank took such great care of us all night long as we celebrated our recent elopement. At Rita’s, we had a wonderful happy hour with Shanice and incredible brunch the next day with Rita. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

    Disappointed that they no longer server frozen prickly pear margaritas so we had to get them on the rocks. The margaritas were very very strong tequila taste. The trio & truffle quesadillas appetizer were very good. We ordered the chicken enchilada to share & asked if it was chicken breast meat. The waitress said it was. It was NOT just chicken breast meat. It was mixed with dark meat so I couldn’t eat it. Disappointing. The ambience is beautiful but the food & menu need an upgrade.

    Price of brunch has more than doubled since we were last there. Website still listed it as $34.It was not worth $90 for the food offered. They have added another row of food stations. Prime rib (tough) tacos (made in advance and somewhat dried out) eggs Benedict (made in advance.) there used to be an option for a”full” brunch for $34 or a lighter version with fruit and cereal. The full brunch was perfect: made to order eggs, pancakes and waffles. Huge selection of pastries, fresh fruit, breads, sausage, bacon. 2 kinds of potatoes. Hot and cold cereals gourmet desserts, etc. Now your only option is a $90 less than perfect spread.

    We had a wonderful brunch at Rita's in the beautiful Camelback Inn property. Every dish we tried was tasty and clearly made with high quality ingredients. The prime rib melted in my mouth, the shrimp was fresh, and the hash browns were actually browned like they should be (but never are). The champagne mimosas never stopped and our server, Darcie, told us stories of the hotel and her 26 years working for Marriot and what great employers they are. It was a perfect way to end our girlfriend vacation.

    Rita’s offers inside and patio seating. The greeters were lovely as was sitting on the shaded patio. The wait staff seemed to a bit confused. Perhaps there were too many seated that day. However, we enjoyed our dishes and, as always, Camelback Inn remains a special place.
