    Margarita
    Brennan M.

    ​Mariposa is a breathtaking restaurant with stunning indoor and outdoor seating, but for the price point, our experience was a bit of a mixed bag. ​The Starters & Drinks We kicked off the night with the Beef Empanadas, a Classic/Skinny Margarita, and the signature Mariposa cocktail. The empanadas were hands-down fantastic, I would honestly come back just for those! The crust was soft yet firm, amazingly fresh, and served with a delicious chimichurri sauce and a second yellow sauce that was also great. ​The Mains & Sides ​Australian Rack of Lamb: Cooked to a perfect medium and presented beautifully. This was my first time trying Australian lamb chops, and they did not disappoint. I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce plated directly with the lamb, but dipping it in the extra chimichurri solved that easily. ​Filet Mignon: Perfectly cooked to medium and tasted great. ​Sides: We had the Frijoles Negros and the Mac & Cheese. The mac was a bit too sauce-heavy for my taste, coming across a little thick and gritty but my wife loved it. ​Dessert We ended the night with the churros. My first bite was a surprise, the texture is much denser, almost like a cookie, compared to a classic Disney churro (or our favorite back home, Olé Churros in Las Vegas). While I wasn't a fan at first, the flavor grew on me as I dipped them in the chocolate sauce, and we ended up finishing the plate. ​The Service & Experience Where Mariposa really fell flat for us was the service. We ordered our appetizer and drinks right when our server came over, but he didn't return to take our dinner order for about 15 minutes. Throughout the night, there was no offer for round two on cocktails, and our waters weren't refilled until the very end of the meal when we were already ready to leave. ​We were visiting to celebrate our anniversary, but we were never greeted with a "first time here?" or asked if we were celebrating anything special. Dessert options weren't even brought up, we had to ask about the churros ourselves after seeing them brought out to another table. ​Final Thoughts Food is fantastic! Im still thinking about the empanadas! Mariposa has a gorgeous venue and some incredible menu items, but for a high-end dining spot, the service lacked attentiveness and missed the mark on making a special night feel special.

    Fantastic food and an excellent cocktail list ,every drink we tried was genuinely delicious. We sat on the patio, which offers stunning panoramic views of Sedona all around. It's one of the best backdrops you can get for photos. Service was excellent, attentive, and friendly.The only issue is if you have a larger group, be prepared. For some reason, they don't put tables together for parties of eight. The patio only has two high‑top tables that seat that many, and those were extremely hot . We ended up at two separate tables side by side, which wasn't ideal for a group meal. Dress code is business casual, and there's plenty of parking. Overall, the views and food make it absolutely worth visiting .

    Mariposa has left its mark on my wife, mother in law, and my selfs culinary heart. You can't beat the view, the design of it all, the food, the service and the quality. 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

    Half Pollo Parilla
    Elaine R.

    I sat at the bar for this visit and Danny was my server. He was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. The atmosphere at Mariposa is always a standout, and sitting at the bar gave me a great view of the space and the energy of the restaurant. I ordered both the Gringo Burger and the Pollo Parilla, with one served with fries and the other with the three‑seed cilantro coleslaw. Everything was well‑prepared and flavorful. The burger was satisfying, the Pollo Parilla had great seasoning, and both sides were solid complements to the dishes. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the service, it was a really great experience overall.

    Breathtaking views. A can't miss spot in Sedona if you want a nice restaurant dinner night. The food is fantastic. Everything we had was top-notch. Service seemed a little slow paced/nonchalant for a restaurant of this caliber but we had a rsvp and had no issue getting in on time. For a busy Saturday night we got our food in a timely manner too. The main dining room was a little warm but overall 4/5 experience. The cheesecake is a MUST try. We went for an anniversary dinner but there is no free dessert, just a nice little chocolate medallion that said happy anniversary. Still though, I think it's one of the best things they have here.

    Flank steak dish
    Ethan S.

    Overall, the food was excellent -- honestly, a solid 10/10. Every dish was tasty, well-seasoned, cooked properly, and came out hot. The sides were just as good, and I really had no complaints about the food, which is almost suspiciously impressive. The atmosphere was also very nice. The restaurant had an open, airy feel with beautiful window views, good lighting, and plenty of cool art throughout. The bathroom was clean, which is always appreciated, and the automatic toilets were a nice touch -- because apparently even the bathroom was trying harder than the service. The Oak Creek Nut Brown beer on tap was delicious and definitely worth mentioning and nearly worked on me like a PDE-5. Service, however, was where things started to fall off. I'd give it around a 5/10, though we'll be generous and call that "average." We saw our waiter maybe three or four times during the entire visit, and getting water refills required multiple requests. Not the end of the world, but definitely noticeable. Overall, the food and ambiance were great, but the service kept the experience from matching the quality of the kitchen. Food: 10/10. Atmosphere: very nice. Service: present in spirit, occasionally in person.

    Yuca fries

    Gorgeous gorgeous view! We have been recommended this place by many and it lived up to what everyone was saying! I forgot to take pictures of all the food because we were hungry. The elote was some of the best I have ever had. It almost tasted like it had chimichury mixed in, it was so full of flavor it really was amazing! We got the skirt steak which was marinated perfectly. The Caesar salad was good it did have a little kick to it which to me tasted like horseradish. To finish the meal the flan was delicious! We were celebrating our anniversary and it was a magical evening!

    Anniversary treat
    Alyson S.

    It's tough not to give Mariposa less than 5 stars, but we had a few disappointments last night. First of all, Ciara was great. She was personable, knowledgeable and provided great service. We had the shrimp cocktail (fabulous) and Caesar salad (perfect) which both came out in a timely manner. Then we waited, and waited, and waited....and waited, 40 minutes for our main course. Because it's a busy restaurant and we were enjoying our wine and the beautiful views, we weren't too upset with the wait. However, when the food arrived, our steaks were not cooked as we ordered. We ordered medium rare, and what we received was medium to medium well. Our mushrooms and potatoes were decadent. Because of the long wait for the food, and plans we had for after dinner, we did not send the steaks back, but we did let our server know they were not up to standards. We've eaten at Mariposa several times and have always had perfectly cooked and melt in your mouth filets in the past. For dessert, we got the chocolate cake with salted caramel gelato (heavy but delightful) and we were treated to a light anniversary dessert that was very good. Overall things were good, but not the great meal we expected from our past experiences and for the price.

    Mariposa Latin Grill is definitely one of those places where the experience is about more than just the food. I'd give the food around a 3/5, it was good, but honestly didn't quite live up to the expectations. The dishes were enjoyable, but nothing really stood out! That said, the space and ambiance are absolutely stunning. We went during sunset, and the views alone made the visit worth it. Service and the overall vibe added to the experience, and I can understand why this is such a popular spot in Sedona. I'd come back for the views, cocktails, and ambiance.

    Jamie K.

    Our meal was phenomenal from the tapas to the entree'... Chef Lisa Dahl is truly a culinary genius! The flavors are intentional and every ingredient exists in perfect harmony just like the panoramic views of the surrounding red rocks! We started our experience with the sea scallops and burrata salad and transitioned to the chimichurri ribeye and chile relleno. Also, the cocktails are exquisite and really enhanced the palate with notes of cherry and mint. Service was exceptional; the staff was on point and the presentation was flawless. Overall, it's fine dining at its best... Worth every penny...

    Ceviche was good but wish it was with fish instead of all shrimps
    Jade L.

    Food was good but the wait for food to come out took 30 mins. Service was good. Lovely ambiance . Was here for my birthday

    Outside the restaurant
    Liz C.

    We truly enjoyed our visit to Mariposa! Make your reservations ahead of time because they get booked fast. I made a reservation almost a month ahead of our visit and the times we wanted were already booked so we did an earlier dinner than expected. When we arrived, parking was vast and the views were amazing! There were lots of picture opportunities outside of the restaurant and we took full advantage of another party's waiter for our pictures. When we got seated we were seated outside next to their huge fire pit which had a lovely ambiance. It did get a little chilly but it was still so perfect outside. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and explained the drinks and menu. She was so sweet. We ordered these cocktails to start off our night: *Smokey Pear *1920 *Housemade Sangria Then for appetizers and entrees we ordered this: *Handmade empanadas (filet of beef) *Mejillones de chorizo *Yuca fries *Vaquero Our steaks were cooked to perfection! The appetizers were amazing and we thought everything ran smoothly. Our dessert were the churros and they were very very tasty. 10/10 recommend coming to Mariposa if you're in Sedona!

    Outside patio
    Kim H.

    What an amazing evening to remember. My husband and I were so happy to finally get reservations at Mariposa when visiting Sedona. Today when arriving we were greeted when driving up to park by the breathtaking views of the amazing Red Rock Mountains and Greenery. The restaurant itself is stunning. There is someone at the outside patio area to greet you and ask for your reservation information. Once you give that info the doors to the restaurant open for you to enter to be escorted to your seat. The restaurant decor as the outdoor seating is beautiful. The staff there were all so Welcoming and attentive. We were helped right away. We were served water immediately and given the menus as well as explained specials. We ordered as an appetizer Shrimp cocktail . Dinner Skirt Steak with Potatoes Lamb Chops Side of Corn Side of Asparagus My husband and I had no complaints at all at the choice of food we picked. Portions are on the larger size and food was cooked to perfection. The views were to die for. This is one place that everyone should experience when visiting Sedona . Ambiance, Service, Food, Friends or Loved ones with you isn't that what is what life is all about and that's what Mariposa can offer you !

    Pollo, lamb chops, esquite, margarita and more

    We have reservations this week for the patio. It's supposed to be hot. Do they have anything to cool the patio area down?

    Yes. They had some misters and fans overhead.

    Is the patio too hot during the day in August? (Trying to decide between indoor or patio reservation based on heat)

    💯 way to hot before 6pm

    Are there heaters on the patio? We're going to be there in a couple of weeks. Expected to be in the 40s during dinner.

    They have the patio well-appointed for the weather.

    The Open table reservation system is not working with any of my cards. How can we make a reservation?

    You can call their number and leave a voicemail with your request.

    Are gluten free options available?

    YES! I do not remember off hand if there was a dedicated menu. However, I do remember them being both extremely knowledgeable and accommodating both times we have been there. There were many gluten free options or slight modifications to still make… 

    What is the dress code for men?

    Resort to dressy casual. I'd recommend a collared shirt and slacks with closed toed shoes and socks.

    Are reservations required?

    Yes but call! Large groups have to make one through a sales person and she was unavailable when we showed up. Manager didn't care and made us wait forever.

    Is your bar open in the afternoon for drinks and tapas?

    Yes

    Do they take amex credit cards?

    Not sure if they accept AMEX. I'm sure if you call or email the restaurant they'd let you know.

    Is there a different number to call. I keep getting the voice automated system or do I have to wait till 4 when they open to speak to someone?

    All i can say is me too and the concierge line is non responsive too...

    Is there any way if I made a bar reservation that I could upgrade to a standard seating?

    You must call the restaurant directly as if they can accommodate they surely will. I have had similar issues in the past and the gal who handles calls and reservations is an amazingly pleasant and accommodating individual.… 

    Are they still serving the tomahawk? I sure hope so my hubby was looking forward to it!

    It wasn’t on the menu that we saw on October 23rd.

    Is there a Corkage fee?

    It's not byob

    Is there any way to reserve 20 days in advance if open table shows it's booked? Can I call? When is the covid limited capacity going to end?

    It's a bit or miss with this. This place is beyond fabulous and books up way in advance. You can try calling but it sometimes takes hours to get to someone. Not sure when they are going to full capacity. Never hurts to keep logging in and seeing if… 

    Are jeans and nice t-shirts okay or do we need something dressier? I'm trying to pack light and only bring hiking boots and one pair of tennis shoes on our trip!!

    No tank tops, sports branded wear, thongs, flip flops, hats. Website doesn't mention jeans and t-shirts, but don't expect to be seated in the dining room. More likely the patio if they seat you at all. So - something dressier, definitely. This is,… 

    Hi. In town for one night and open table isn't showing any available reservations... is walk in allowed? Or any other ideas - can I call the restaurant directly?

    Call! Their patio is open for first come first serve if opwn

    Planning a trip for spring break here and wanted to set up a romantic dinner for my love should I make a reservation or can we just stroll on in?

    Definitely make a reservation, and ask for a table with a nice view.

    Mariposa or Elote?

    We personally love Mariposa and highly recommend it.

    Are dogs allowed on any of the patios during lunch?

    I hope not!

    I hear the sunset is amazing there. For costs sake, would lunch view be just as good or should we splurge at dinner?

    I expected the menu pricing to be astronomical and a huge splurge and I know it depends on perspective but i was really surprised at how affordable it was -- nothing was egregiously overpriced. another idea is to share some apps and drinks while…

We ended up sitting outside, and I loved that the patio was covered and equipped with heaters, which made it cozy even with the weather acting up a bit. It was lightly sprinkling, and we did get a few drops here and there, but honestly, it didn't take away from the experience. Now let's talk about the food--absolutely delicious. The deviled eggs were generously stuffed and beautifully presented, which made them just as enjoyable to look at as they were to eat. We shared the filet mignon, served with mushroom risotto, and wow... it was completely out of this world. Perfectly cooked, rich, and full of flavor. We paired it with the honey garlic carrots, and they were the perfect balance of sweet and savory--definitely a standout side. I also ordered a smoked blueberry sour cocktail, and it was so good--unique, refreshing, and well-crafted. Service was solid and consistent throughout the meal. Nothing over-the-top, but everything came out smoothly and as expected. Overall, this spot really delivered--from the ambiance to the flavor-packed dishes. I'd absolutely come back again.

    We had brunch at Shorebird Sedona in the early afternoon. It's a bit counterintuitive to go to a…read moreseafood restaurant here but it's good and the views are fantastic. My crab Benedict was excellent (except for overdone asparagus on the side) and my wife's egg white frittata was well prepared-but would have been much more interesting with the yolks. Service was fast and friendly. If you want a steakhouse for dinner or a nice brunch with a good view, I recommend it. If you are looking for something uniquely southwest, I'd keep looking.

    As first-time visitors to this establishment, my lady and I, discovered an exceptional venue for a…read morememorable date night. The experience exceeded all expectations! We secured our reservations well in advance and arrived punctually. Upon check-in, the staff promptly guided us to our outdoor seating arrangement, which offered a stunning vantage point for watching the sunset while enjoying quality time together. While skimming through the appetizer menu, we struck up a delightful conversation with neighboring diners who enthusiastically recommended the lamb lollipops. Intrigued by their endorsement, we ordered them ourselves and were thoroughly impressed. The lamb lollipops delivered an unforgettable culinary experience--tender, flavorful, and absolutely pristine. For our entrées, I selected the 16oz boneless ribeye accompanied by a loaded baked potato, bacon-wrapped asparagus, and guajillo chimichurri sauce. My lady chose the 8oz Prime Filet Mignon, elegantly topped with herb butter, garlic whipped potatoes, and lemon-zest asparagus. Both dishes were extraordinary! The ribeye proved incredibly tender and juicy with remarkable flavor in every bite, while the filet mignon was equally spectacular. Both proteins were cooked to absolute perfection, melting effortlessly on our palates and leaving us craving more. The accompanying sides were equally impressive. We concluded our meal with a brown butter cake crowned with chopped praline pecans, whipped cream, and maple caramel sauce, served over vanilla bean ice cream. This dessert was so exceptional that we couldn't resist ordering a second one. Neither of us could help ourselves--we simply had to indulge again. Honestly, if we'd had room for another stomach, we would've absolutely gone back for seconds and thirds of everything on the menu. While The Vault Uptown certainly comes with a premium price tag, I can assure you that every single dish I've mentioned is worth every penny. I'd strongly recommend requesting an outdoor table positioned toward the sunset so you can take in the stunning vista of Snoopy Rock. The perspective from that vantage point is truly breathtaking. Don't hesitate to book your table at The Vault Uptown--you'll be thrilled with your decision.

My personal favorites were the lamb lollipops and the Stetson chopped salad. My boyfriend loved the trash can nachos, and my friend really enjoyed the rigatoni. The staff were also very friendly and attentive. Great food, amazing views, and such a nice brunch spot. We had a really good time here!

And definitely did not disappoint. Enchiladas were Very delicious and unique flavor. The waiters were very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. I think his name was Jose, not sure. But again I'm thankful I was able to enjoy the food and the ambiance of this place! I will definitely recommend this restaurant to friends that visit Sedona.

    I was able to make a dinner reservation for 8:15 a few weeks in advance, but typical dinner times…read morelike 7:00 or 7:30 were not available. You'll probably have to reserve pretty far in advance if you want one of those times. I was there after a long day of traveling, so I arrived pretty hungry. They have a small parking lot out front, but I wasn't able to find a spot there. Thankfully, there are nearby free parking lots as well. You might be thinking, won't you be rushed to have dinner since they close at 9? I had the same question, but apparently, even though they close at 9, each customer gets 1.5 hours to eat, so no issues if you have a late reservation. Ordered the Elote and Quesadilla de Costilla as appetizers. It took quite a while for them to come out, but the Elote was absolutely amazing. The tanginess of the lime goes really well with the spicy mayo and corn. I'd highly recommend it. The Quesadilla de Costilla was also fantastic. For my main dish, I ordered the Carne Asada. The steak was good, but I didn't like the dish too much overall. I definitely enjoyed the appetizers more. If I were to go back in the future, I'd most likely just order appetizers like the Elote and quesadillas. Those alone would be enough for me!

    I had head the views here were amazing and as an absolute aviation nerd it was a must! That being…read moresaid I was not disappointed! The views were spectacular, especially on the drive down (sunset). But all around us was beautiful scenery and beautiful airplanes which only make things better! The food was delicious! We started with the shrimp ceviche (sorry I forgot to take a photo) but it was great to share- so fresh! A little juicy but still so yumm! The food was all so good and any of the other dishes we saw come out also looked tasty! The fish and chips was a top choice for my mom, who Loves this dish! The fries are unique shaped and SO good! I had the blackened salmon ceasar, The salmon was fresh and perfectly cooked with such flavor and not dry (a common issue I often find with salmon on salads especially) My aunt had never ordered kale, but I think she may start after loving the kasalad! Service is as pretty standard. Our server wasn't overly attentive but the support staff were great and ensured we had lots of water and were sweet to my daughter (baby). We all left very full, in love with the views and all members happy with the food! So I'd call that a win!

    This place is truly a 1 star on the food. We ordered the ceviche which came with lettuce (unheard…read moreof) I've never in my life had ceviche with lettuce , and no seasoning at all no acidity, no punch nothing! The cocktails were solid the flavor was delicious and refreshing 9/10! The Coolest thing was being able to eat with our dog there, the restaurant is really nice on the eyes but the food was lackluster and definitely not recommendable which sucks because it has the potential to be better. The waiter was very polite and attentive but sadly for the price this restaurant is a HUGE let down. The food was less than mediocre. I had the "steak and frites" which came with unseasoned corn and a dash of tajin which makes absolutely no sense paired with a kbbq inspired sauce on the steak??? The 'frites' tasted like frozen air fried rally's fries. The steak was a bit unseasoned and bland like the corn (we were on the verge of sending it back but we're not those people) I think a revamp on the menu would do this restaurant well and really thinking critically on ingredients / quality and pairings of proteins.

The service was attentive and friendly. It has a semi-formal vibe (eg cloth napkin), vs dinner; but not enough to keep the hotel pool crowd for breezing in. I recommend you try it. Btw, everywhere in Sedona has a $10 per person markup at lunch; they have to bring ingredients from the valley and pay the staff a living wage and the Lanlord exorbitant rent. Expect a $15-20 markup at dinner. Everywhere. So rascal is value priced with this in mind. Tasty

We requested an open four top which they refused only to give it to a couple who arrived about ten minutes later. They had a guitar player who apparently only knew one song. It was way too loud and detracted from the dinner. I wanted one of the five beers they had on tap. There was no list available and the wait staff had very little understanding about beer. For example, if an IPA is hazy, that's a different style from a West Coast IPA. They had two IPAs on tap - both hazy. Why? My wife got the blackened salmon which was very well prepared. The fish was high quality and the portion size was good. The only oddity for her was trying to determine why you had to request gluten free for this dish as noted on the menu. The waiter asked the kitchen. There was no gluten ingredient in the dish. Why do you have to request gluten free? I had the chicken piccata. It was a bland couple of chicken cutlets swimming in a thin milky tasteless sauce. There were a few capers but almost no presence of any lemon on the chicken and none in the pasta which was described as lemony on the menu. The only good ingredient was the pickled small red peppers. Most times I've ordered chicken piccata it comes with a lemon wedge or two. Disappointing experience.
