We came on a rainy Saturday night with no reservation. It was surprisingly busy inside, we asked…read morefor the wait and the hostess said about 45 min. We decided not to stay so we left. We ended coming back about 10 min later because there wasn't too many food options around the area. The same hostess asked if a table was ok and we said yes so we ended up getting seated immediately. We were a little confused We ordered a few things, Garden salad - the portion was big but the vinaigrette dressing didn't taste like anything. I wish we got a different salad since it just tasted like plain wet salad (4/10) Pesto Pizza - very good pesto flavor and I really enjoyed their pizza dough. I wish we added some type of meat ontop because it felt like it was missing something. I'd probably get it again and ask to do that (6.5/10) or a (8/10) when I added the chicken Chicken piccata - this dish was good, chicken was a little dry. It came with polenta that was very flavorful. I was using this chicken to eat with the pizza and salad. (7/10)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…read more It is a delightful place, friendly to strangers and very picturesque. Transports you to the Wild West in all it's glory. The drive through Sedona and the mountains to this Town is an experience I will never forget for the rest of my life. Majestic. Grand. Magnificent. My God the beauty of this Region is mind-blowing. You'll need nerves of steel driving down the mountains. COME HERE! You can thank me later!

This place is truly a gem and my favorite stops in Old Town Cottonwood!…read more The owner, Ginger - a sassy redhead herself, like the wine she loves to serve, has a brilliant energy and the kindest spirit! She is truly special. Not only does she support terrific wine, but she also supports local artists. I discovered a one-of-a-kind piece from Jerome in the Cottonwood location, and Ginger helped facilitate getting it straight from the artist. Everything is carefully curated in this space with a fun, unique sense of art and style. It feels unlike anything along the Main Street drag. There are also always new wines to try, so it is a place you can come back to again and again.

The rudest, and least informed sommelier I have ever met in my life. We only went in because we had…read morea sip and stay free ticket from the Tavern Hotel. Don't waste your time, even if it is free! This rude, loud mouth basically told us she didn't have any information about the wine we were drinking, and that SHE chooses what she serves us, so we have no choice. If you have a free ticket you have to stand, if you pay for a flight you get to sit! Great salesperson, this one! Whoever owns this joint might want to reconsider this hire! I would have given no stars, but Yelp makes you choose one.

I've been in Cornville for 4-1/2 years and came here for the first time about a year ago. My review was based off the entire party. This time it's just me. I came for the olive medley app which is an amazing concoction of imported olives, sundried tomato, artichoke hearts, fresh herbs and lovely mild goat cheese. It's served warm with buttered and toasted baguettes and the entire app is absolutely sublime. Learned today it develops from a recipe in California! Tastes like it! I also had the rigatoni with spicy Italian sausage. Large portion (half is dinner later) with toasted bread and fresh Parmesan. The marinara is hit with fennel and tomato bits, so much flavor and the sausage has just the right spice. The sur andes Malbec was the perfect wine. They have a very impressive and extensive wine list, great price points. The restaurant is set above Oak Creek, hence Up the Creek. Ample windows provide bird watchers beautiful views of Cornville natural wildlife. Prices are better than Sedona and this place, while off the beaten path, is every bit Sedona-worthy! Another little hidden gem I'm grateful to live close to.

BACKGROUND: I am not budget-conscious and don't mind paying up for quality. The food here is…read moreusually good which is why we have kept giving this place a chance. Been to this place 5 or 6 times. PRICE: As high as anything in Sedona. FOOD: ranges from good to very good. It's obvious that the chef is an owner. SERVICE: ranges from very mid to very bad. Stressed out hostess on a Friday evening at 5PM with 2 tables to worry about. The bar will sell you a $20 marguerita but don't order it "skinny" because they don't have any limes. LOCATION: ~30 minute drive from Central Sedona. Overlooking a muddy creek, not worth the trip. Much better views in the Sedona area. Absolutely nothing else to see or do in this location either before or after dinner. VERDICT: We exited after some overpriced appetizers, went down the road and found a place called Robber's Roost, which was a down-to-earth, low-key spot that treated us well. The food was good, and the price for the meal was less than the cost of appetizers at the "Muddy Creek". If you live in Cornville and are looking for good food regardless of price, this is your place. For everyone else, not worth it. The chefs could do much better elsewhere.

Queen B is owned by musician Maynard James Keenan (lead singer for Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer) and his wife Jennifer, and that's neat to know. The record store has a wide selection of vinyls of specific genres. It's clean and inviting. You can listen to records if you'd like and they can ship to your home if needed. There is the famous Puscifer statue, where people from all around the world leave offerings. It's worth a visit. Attached to it is the cafe. I appreciate the opportunity to eat good breakfast food in the middle of the afternoon and my friend had the kimchi ramen, which was delicious too. We ate outside on the patio, which was serene. The staff was friendly. Easy to find street parking, too!

The service in the record store is very poor, basically young kids getting paid to ignore you. Cafe side was about equal to the record store. Took me 30 minutes to get a coffee and a reheated pastry. I get that this might be a "locals hang out" but cottonwood is a tourist destination that thrives off tourists money. If it wasn't for the owners musical ventures, this wouldn't last

While the wines were not entirely my thing, the service more than made up for it during our visit…read more The tastings are either dry or sweet, but on this occasion, the dry was mostly heavy, tannin-rich reds. I prefer a more diverse dry tasting, but I could still appreciate excellent wine. I even appreciated a tasting of their port, which is not usually a wine I would try. Taste it before and after a bite of dark chocolate. It is surprising! For me, where this location shined was the great hostess, Stephanie. She was a lot of fun to chat with, and she remembered us when we visited their sister winery, Passion. Cabal is also a lot of fun with their imagery and designs on their wine bottles.

Unfortunately, our experience at Bella Vita was disappointing from start to finish…read more When we were seated, two of the seats were damp. One of the staff members was very pleasant and apologetic, which we appreciated, but the service issues continued throughout the meal. My cousin ordered coffee, and our waitress responded, "I guess I can make a pot of coffee." I ordered a latte, but she later returned and said the machine was broken. Our dinners came with bread and herb olive oil. This was delicious and fresh baked focaccia. When the basket arrived, each of us received ONE 1-inch by 1-inch piece of bread with tons of herb olive oil. After we finished the bread, the waitress immediately removed the basket and remaining olive oil without asking if we would like more. It felt very strange and left us wondering whether the restaurant actually tosses out that much olive oil or if it would simply be served to another table. I would hope it's tossed but it's very wasteful. Dinner was average - not over the top delicious. The one bright spot was the friendly staff member who apologized for some of these issues. Unfortunately, the overall experience felt awkward and inhospitable, and the service did not meet our expectations.
