Omissions and Errors

In response to our December article on the new Overland Trout Restaurant in Sonoita, owner/chef Greg LaPrad pointed out that the article did not accurately reflect the restaurant’s pricing, or the availability of reasonably priced menu items. La Prad wanted our readers to be aware that while the restaurant offers a fine dining experience that appeals to patrons from Tucson and beyond, the restaurant is equally committed to serving the local community. He stated that although โ€œour highest priced dinner entrรฉe is $33, in actuality most dinner items are priced under $30.โ€ He also noted that “lunch prices are on par or in some cases lower than similar offerings in Patagonia and Sonoita.โ€

In line with this effort is the restaurant’s new childrenโ€™s menu, available from $3.95 to $5.95 for guests under 12 years of age.

The PRT apologizes for any misrepresentation of Overland Troutโ€™s pricing.
