Signature Grill - Tucson

The Signature Grill is located at JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort, located on the far edge of Tucson. There are about three restaurants in the resort. It is unlikely that someone would only come to the resort for dinner, but if the Signature Grill resort is the best option. The menu has a key to various nutritional preferences, including gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian. Vegan options include an old Grains Risotto with vegetables that was my choice. While called Risotto, it was based on Quinoa instead of Arborio rice. The quinoa was moist and tasty flavored. It was steamed with vegetables, mainly yellow squash. I was very happy with the meal. The service was professional and attentive. My only concern is that my vegan meal was several dollars more than the meat burgers ordered by my companions. Other vegan options were a salad that could be ordered as a side or as a duck, and several ala carte pages (asparagus with listed tomatoes, Zilantro rice, BBQ sweet potatoes, mushroom herbs Quinoa) that could be combined for a veggie plate. There are also dishes marked as vegetarian. I post photos from the menu. Updated by previous review on 2019-11-22

The Signature Grill is located at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort, on the outskirts of Tucson. The resort has three restaurants, but if you're dining here, the Signature Grill is the top choice. The menu caters to various dietary preferences, including gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options. I chose the ancient grains risotto, which was made with quinoa instead of Arborio rice. It was flavorful and moist, paired with steamed yellow squash. The service was attentive and professional. My only concern was that my vegan meal cost a few dollars more than the meat dishes ordered by my companions. Other vegan options included salads, as well as a variety of a la carte dishes that could be combined for a veggie plate. There are also vegetarian options available. Check out the photos I posted from the menu. (Review last updated on November 22, 2019)

There are very limited vegan options on the menu and some items that could be made vegan with minimal effort. The staff would benefit from more training to better assist customers looking for vegan choices.

There are not many intentionally vegan choices available, and some items that may appear vegan actually are not. The service staff could benefit from further training to improve their ability to identify suitable options for vegan customers.
