The Vibe: This is going to be an expensive night out but your food will be amazing, if you happen to get Cesar as your host then you will be taken care of, The restaurant has this elevated rustic feel, with a wood tavern feel. There is a lots of foliage, fire, relaxing lighting , indoor and outdoor seating, and lots of charm. The Service: Cersei was our host and he was nothing short of amazing, He was attentive had questions for our questions to make sure we got the most out of our dinner. He was great with suggestions and really just made the experience that much more fulfilling. We thank you sincerely Cesar, you are a gene human being. If you are the base line of the kind of host they hire ... I could only assume all the staff reflects your hosting. The food: Well where do I start... The appetizers were the empanadas, we got the filet of beef Empanadas and they were delicious, I love making empanadas at home but I usually bake mine, most places fry them... Mariposa bakes theirs too and I was pretty stoked about it. We also got their yuca fries, and I have never had them the way Mariposa makes them they were perfectly shaped, crispy and delicious. On top of that all the sauces that came with these appetizers were delicious. Out main courses were also on point, I got the Ribeye, my wife the Filet Mignon and my Suegra got the the pork chop and the sides we chose was the squash, mushrooms and elote corn. My Ribeye was perfect mid rare with a wonderful wood fire char on it, each bite was butter and mixed with the mushrooms or corn delicious, my wife took her time on her Filet, you can tell she was enjoying every bite. My suegra finished her pork... she usually does not finish her food... this time she cleaned her plate and then some. I can also say their cocktails both virgin and alcoholic were just perfect with our meal. We ended with some desserts, I got the tres leches and my wife got the flan. They did not disappoint and I took my time with the tres leches. My wife usually only eats my tres leches and she liked this one. Mariposa will be a staple for us when ever we are in Sedona , They get the CJAC Sixth

Complimentary valet service greeted us warmly upon arrival as gentlemen opened doors and welcomed us with genuine smiles. Chivalry is alive and well here! The host remembered it was our anniversary and moments later, a complimentary champagne toast arrived! Followed by the most incredible chawanmushi, personally presented by one of the chefs. The porterhouse was out of this world, perfectly sized for two and the Troon Margarita was a revelation. Unlike spots where the views outshine service or food, Talavera delivers on every front. We ended with a complimentary dessert and can't wait to return!

By the time we finished dinner, we were sipping drinks and dessert in that perfect desert dusk moment -- honestly one of the best parts of the experience. The atmosphere felt like a blend of date-night elegance and relaxed family dinners. Some couples were clearly celebrating anniversaries or special occasions while other tables were more casual, which made the space feel welcoming rather than overly formal. Service was attentive and thoughtful throughout the evening. The staff were especially great about checking on allergies, and my hot water pot was constantly refilled before I even had to ask. Food-wise, we tried a mix of tapas and mains. Everything we had was well prepared and flavorful. That said, the price-to-value ratio for some of the entrées didn't fully land for me. The upside? The portions were generous for a fine-dining restaurant. If you're someone who appreciates larger portions at upscale spots, this will definitely work in your favor!!! Hot water rating: 8/10. While refills were constant (amazing), the pot had a few lingering tea leaves in it -- I'm guessing from earlier afternoon tea service. Would I return? Absolutely. Next time I'll likely lean into the tapas and drinks while soaking in the sunset views. And yes... I'll happily give the hot water another try.

This was my…read moretime to Winslow and we came up from Flagstaff with family to enjoy a nice dinner for my birthday. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by everything from the gorgeous hotel and welcoming staff to the delicious food. I mean seriously... everything was so good! Our service was excellent. We ordered quite a bit of food and our server timed everything perfectly so no meals overlapped, giving us time to digest and enjoy our drinks between courses. A majority of their menu includes nuts, and I have a tree nut allergy. I was able to alter my orders a bit to accommodate my allergy but the level of care the staff provided to put my mind at ease, without me asking mind you, was truly what I would consider above and beyond service. My server made sure what I ordered was safe for me to eat by personally checking food labels as well as speaking with the head chef and then the manager came out to confirm that my orders were nut free AND the staff would be changing gloves to avoid any cross contamination. I mean, wow! After we finished eating, we went to the gift shop (which is a must visit!) and explored the hotel and got to see some truly unique and deeply thoughtful pieces of art by the incredibly talented, Tina Mion. Highly recommended for anyone interested in a unique dining experience and in a small town not too far from Flagstaff, if you're willing to make the drive!

We came to watch the Argentina vs. Egypt World Cup match, and they opened at 9:00 a.m. for the game.

Both were outstanding. We'll definitely be back for more authentic food and another great experience. Highly recommended!

They were running a fun, seasonal soccer-themed menu when we visited. Our group tried the prickly pear refreshers, and for lunch, we ordered the dirty burger, lattice-wrapped burger, and a regular burger paired with sweet potato fries. The burgers were just okay. A couple of people in our group noticed the meat was a bit chewy and tough, seemingly from being overcooked The only downside was the timing of the kitchen. Our food wasn't served together, leaving one friend waiting until the rest of us were nearly finished eating due to an order mix-up. Fortunately, the staff handled the situation well and applied a 20% discount to the delayed item once we pointed it out

We noticed this was the only place that was open til a later time so we gave it a try. Place was hidden upstairs, dim environment, quiet, & relaxing. We were cordially greeted by the staff. Menu served a good amount of different options to choose from. Wine list was pretty extensive. They also had a wall of many different regions of wines to choose from if you decide to purchase. We opted for the charcuterie platter & a bottle of old world red wine to share. The platter was solid & it offered more than enough for us to finish. Wine paired well with platter. I'd come back again if I was in the area.

Everything was amazing 10/10.

Sofritas is a Latin American restaurant conveniently located just off one of the main downtown…read morestrips on Parkview Ave. The restaurant has a fun, eclectic atmosphere with patio seating, a small bar, and interesting décor throughout. It's the kind of locally owned place that has a lot of character. Our waiter recommended the avocado dip and chips, which ended up being one of the best things we ordered. The portion was generous, fresh, and perfect for sharing. We also split the $19 bread board, which is similar to Postino's concept with four breads and different toppings. The hummus was easily our favorite, followed by the BLT. Unfortunately, the salmon and caper spread had a strong odor and tasted off, so none of us enjoyed it. The drinks were good--our friends enjoyed a coconut cocktail while we opted for wine. Overall, I'd give Sofritas 3/5 stars. The atmosphere, drinks, and avocado dip were enjoyable, but the bread board was hit-or-miss for our group.

We enjoyed our dinner here so much that we came back for brunch. Everything we got was delicious…read moreexcept the chocolate bourbon pecan pie - the bottom crust was very hard and difficult to bite into. The chocolate molten cake was better. Otherwise, the baklava baked brie, fried green tomato "caprese," and French onion braised short ribs were great. At brunch, I liked the scratch biscuits and chorizo gravy more than the flagstaff steak hash, which was proportionally composed of too many potatoes. The employees we encountered were experienced and great. Definitely try to sit outside (sitting under the roof by the building is just as good as sitting closer to the street in my opinion), though the inside looks very nice, too. I really enjoyed my experiences and look forward to my next visit.

They open at 9am and when we arrived at 910 there was already a line. I guess thats pretty common here though, and it does move fast. The stand itself is fun and painted bright yellow and red. I love the big Salvador Dali face. The empanadas are already made, so once you order, they hand you the food and you're on your way. Lots of outdoor seating options and restrooms are available too. The parking lot is small, so have a back up plan if there isn't parking available. My husband and choose five different empanadas to share. They also offer a wide selection of to go beverages including cider, coffee, tea, boba tea. I choose a canned caramel latte. We tried the Bar-B-Que Pork, Mountain Baby, Mountain Man, Apple and Strawberry Rhubarb empanadas. My favorite was the Mountain Baby, which came with Mac and cheese and bacon. The Mountain Man was also delicious. The strawberry rhubarb was amazing too, but I think that one is a seasonal special. They also offer dipping sauces. We ordered the Chipotle Lime Aioli and the Spicy chimichurri which was actually spicy according to my husband. I thought the empanadas were fine without the sauces though. So good. 10/10. Please go support PIEbar.

We ordered the Spicy Beef Picadillo, Buffalo Chicken, Chicken Pot Pie, and Strawberry Rhubarb. The Spicy Beef Picadillo was definitely my favorite. It had amazing flavor with a really nice kick of spice, and it was so good with the chimichurri. The Buffalo Chicken was decent and had good flavor, although it was a little salty. I paired it with the chipotle lime aioli, which made it even saltier. I'd recommend going with the ranch instead, although that part is definitely on me! The Chicken Pot Pie was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad, but I found it a little bland compared to the others. For dessert, we tried the Strawberry Rhubarb, which I really liked. I especially appreciated that you could actually taste the rhubarb rather than it just tasting like strawberry. I would have loved a little more filling, though. The prices are fair, and everyone working there was lovely and welcoming. Overall, good empanadas with some really stand-out flavors. I'd definitely come back to try more, especially the Spicy Beef Picadillo!
