agustin kitchen (ak) serves a fusion of american and french cuisine off a charming courtyard in the mercado san agustin in west tucson. owner/chef ryan clark came from a successful stint at the lodge on the desert and is a three-time tucson iron chef. ak is a farm-to-table concept highlighting local ingredients and suppliers, whose names are listed on the inside sleeve of the menu. sidle up to the bar and try a glass of dos cabezas red cuvée wine from arizona, or a ak summer pimm's cup. if neither strikes your fancy, there is a very nice selection of craft beer and cocktails from which to choose. specifically curious was a drink called the sonoran old fashioned, with tequila reposado, bacanora, mole bitters, grapefruit bitters and angostura bitters. bacanora, i learned, is an agave-derived liquor from our mexican neighbor to the south, sonora. worth a try, if only just once.
we went to ak on a sunday evening at the end of summer, when they offer a prime rib special for $20.15. served with lemon mashed potatoes, creamed horseradish, au jus and seasonal vegetables, it is a dish that can easily feed two people, especially if you order many appetizers like we did. standouts included the peach and prosciutto salad with goat cheese cream and fresh basil. also, i have a soft spot for calamari and their calamari is tangy and spicy served in a cornmeal crust with a signature "gunslinger" sauce. for dessert, try the chocolate "local bread" pudding. nothing short of delicious.

this joint is some of the dopest dope i ever smoked! amazing food! had the calamari, oysters with chorizo, and lamb curry. oh and they serve rc cola!!! (mind blown)definitely will be back for more! top notch spot in tuc-town!

great place! just returned for another meal. great quality food, presentation and chef has specials per his whim!
plan to return and bring friends.

a must eat spot! kinda fancy but more trendy! very up to date! food is amazing! i don't care what you order you can't go wrong! service is awesome! they must like their jobs!

anniversary dinner best ever. our 2year wedding anniversary spectacular! we had the mussel app, which had an amazing spicey broth. the brulee goat cheese with agrodulce topping was perfectly creamy. the lamb shank served over the most spectacular polenta, it was to die for! the short ribs over a mushroom risotto that was packed with flavor. and the bourbon vanilla gelato was packed with vanilla flavor and the hint of bourbon set it over the top! i can't say enough about how amazing, fresh and delightful the food is here. this has become our go to spot for celebrations as we know we will always have spectacular service, and the most amazing farm to table fresh food. eat live and be well.

great food. tasty food hot or cold as it should be
cool decor

dr. alan rauchberg. great place for foodies

different drummer. we took a group of californians who were visiting tucson and with some reservations they enjoyed their food-my wife and i were less pleased. she ordered the bouillabaisse. the seafood contained therein was limited to a few mussels and some whitefish. the mussels and potatoes were really undercooked. i ordered the cioppino-the one mussel in the dish was not opened and not fully cooked.
the scallop dish include a large slab of bacon-in the opinion of the recipient not a good idea. the winter salad was enjoyed by all,
we ordered a selection of desserts-the bread pudding was a bit of a favorite-other items not.so much.
the ambience is good and the service was good as well-but we will be giving the place a long rest.
the ambience was good, the

exquisitely prepared celebration for two!. we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a romantic weekend in downtown tucson. our dinner at augustin was one of the highlights! the menu was creative and varied, the preparation and presentation were superlative, and the service was a perfect balance of welcoming and intimate. the attention given to providing guests with gluten-free options was deeply appreciated and enabled us to dine without our usual concerns of gluten contamination (i have celiac disease and cannot digest gluten from wheat, which can make dining out a challenge).
the atmosphere at augustin's is cool and hip yet elegant and tasteful at the same time. the staff is very well educated regarding the menu and wine list and are very helpful making various selections. the signature drinks from the bar are especially inventive and were a real treat. the live band located in the mercado courtyard the evening we visited played a perfect mix of jazz and big band classics that set a romantic tone without being invasive. this evening was absolutely an exemplary culinary high point for us in a 25-year-long marriage marked by many outstanding meals at restaurants in new york city and europe. if you are in tucson and seeking a "special" evening out, dinner at augustin's is not to be missed!! indulge your pallet and savor this experience!!

tucson iron chef does it right!. great food with beautifully balanced french overtones. the wait staff is warm, knowledgeable and efficient; and the décor is sleek, yet comfy, definitely try the "current jars" appetizer -- an offering of 4 smears served with toasted french bread. i want it to be my last meal.

terrible. came here for sunday brunch started with their "appetizer starter" the ham and cheese. it was full blown sandwich on wonder bread bun with cloyingly sweet weird tomato jam. we then had a blood mary which was ok. followed by the salmon and hanger steak salads. both meats were tough and the dressing was just overly seasoned with horse radish. not impressed

easter sunday dinner. was fortunate to eat here on that night. it was relatively slow, but service was top notch and the food was incredible. between two of us we had gazpacho, steak tartar, caesar salad (had to order it because of the parmesan twinkies!) and the salmon with beet sauce over red rice. all was really good...although the twinkies were more of a novelty...they really didn't go all that well with the caesar. we didn't have room for dessert, but wished we had! dining room is very pleasant although the lighting along the dark walls would have been too dim for my taste. its a neat restaurant!
