Caytons At Ritz-carlton - Marana

We chose Cayton 's for a birthday dinner with friends. We were seated on the patio, and the views at sunset are lovely. Throughout the evening, our server was attentive without being overbearing. We started out with libations, and the bartender kindly created a Finnish long drink for me (not on the menu). It was spot on. My partner and friends enjoyed the wine and margarita they selected. Our Old Bay Cheddar Biscuits arrived not long after. They are perfectly-sized (i.e., smallish), and the cajun honey butter adds an extra pop. Much better than those found at an unnamed chain. For dinner, my partner selected the fried cod and replaced the fries with a house salad. I took a taste and found the breading to be light with little to no salt, which let the fish shine. The fish also was free of grease. Yay! I selected heirloom cornmeal crusted salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly, but the crunch on the outside was a strange texture to me. For me, the star was the brown butter corn pudding, butternut farrosotto, and chow chow that came with it. Yum! Next time, I plan to try the squash fritters. Our friends each had the lobster mac and cheese. The menu lists this under starters, but plan to share! While they both thoroughly enjoyed the dish, they also had ample leftovers. Finally, it wouldn 't be a birthday dinner without dessert. Many reviews fondly mention the shakes. So, we got one of each. I really enjoyed my salted pecan praline, especially the ample caramel swirl and the happy birthday chocolate disc on top. My partner happened to have a gift card that covered the cost of our meal. If this hadn 't been the case, I might have hesitated on the 5 stars. Prices are commensurate with the Ritz. For a special night out with great views, perfect service, and upscale food, this is your place.

This is THEE premier dining experience in all of the Dove Mountain/Oro Valley area, 2nd to none, without a doubt! Ready for a secret? Happy Hour from 3-6 was VERY REASONABLE. Setting: 10/10 stars whether inside or out you have a choice of pristine seating options, near the driving range outside or inside by the swanky bar or double fireplace. Speaking of fireplaces, outside seating also offers a dual fireplace for cozy evening events. We had an incredible view of the golf course with a fabulous sunset in a stunning setting. Service: 10/10 stars with wonderful Alyssa (pronounced Eh-LISA) and her beaming smile, she was SUPER attentive, kind and over-the-top accommodating any reasonable request made by our dining party. Kitchen: 10/10 stars as they happily replaced the pork with salmon on their phenomenal flatbread. Uh....TRY IT! How delicious to meet you! If that wasn't great enough, their tap list featured one of our most favorite IPAs from Tirrito Farms of Wilcox, Arizona as their Tombstone-like NECTARON IPA is mind blowing. The wine list is nothing short of spectacular, but spectacular may fall a little short in describing this incredible destination. The other plus is Cayton's always goes out of their way for special requests. That's so refreshing isn't it?! Hello!? Uh, get there, like now.

Dinner last night was incredible. Drove up to Dove Mountain for the weekend the hotel suggested we have dinner here. Madison was our server and she was one of the best ever! We ordered quite a few things we sat outside on the balcony and the view was beautiful with the sunset at the mountains. Everything we ordered was extremely well cooked well seasoned and tasted great! They went out of their way to make sure that our cocktails were correct we made up a few cocktails and they came out perfect. But the food was over the top everything was on point every side every entrée I had no complain about not one single thing we ordered I would highly recommend this place if you're up in the Dove Mountain area and definitely ask for Madison!

Came here for a business meeting due to the private room. Food and service were both great! We enjoyed our time here and the private room definitely allowed us to have our meeting in peace while also getting some great food and drinks.

Recently went to try Caytons at Dove Mountain. Drinks were ok, and the appetizer was pretty good. Little Cajun style biscuits, I forget the name of them now though. Dinner was really good. Wife had the Salmon which was excellent and I had the Smoked Pork Chop which was very good. I think the collared greens might have need to cook maybe a minute longer but that's my only comment. We had an unexpected dinner guest join us for a bit which was fun. Brave little Roadrunner hanging around. Didn't see his buddy Wil E though. We had the S'mores and caramel milkshakes for dessert. Not a huge milkshake fan but there's were good! Menu isn't packed full of stuff which is nice I think. Easier to make a decision. Service was very good. We had a nice view of the golf course and mountains sitting outside. We'll definitely be going back for lunch or dinner. I would recommend giving Caytons a try for sure.
