    Scallops and pork belly
    Katherine P.

    So our dinner got off to a rough start. We had a reservation, arrived 5 minutes before, was told our table was almost ready but then we waited and waited. Maybe it wasn't that long but as we were waiting a couple who didn't have a reservation but stated they were staying at the hotel sat down before us. Interesting, I guess because we were not staying at the Amara hotel our reservation didn't matter. I brought this to the host attention who then told me I could sit outside or wait 10 minutes for a table. No apologies at all. Once we did sit down it definitely went uphill from there, prompt service by our waiter, our water glasses were never left empty, food was fabulous. Ordered the crab empanadas, corn ribs, beef short ribs and scallops and pork belly. Ate everything on the plate. Just truly every bite was delicious. It's a chill upscale casual vibe with a full bar and lots of tequila margarita options.

    Great drinks and food. The crab empanadas are a must. Fantastic service. Shrimp and grits amazing.

    Delicious food with a spectacular view! You can tell the menu was thoughtfully curated. Each platter is beautifully plated. The staff is super friendly and overall we had a great experience and would definitely come back to eat!

    We stayed the weekend at the Amara Resort and had dinner at SaltRock. We enjoyed beautiful red rock views from the patio. The entire resort is pet friendly so we had our dog with us. He sat with us under the table. SaltRock has seasonal menus. We enjoyed their signature margaritas. I had a southwestern style salad, then a scallop dish. Everything was delicious. The only thing lacking was the patio tables themselves. The outdoor patio is just tables placed outside. The view is stunning so I'm assuming they don't feel like it needs much, but it would go along way to make it look more like a dinning area than just outdoor tables placed on the patio. Other than that it was great!

    Relaxed meal, and oh! The view! Salt Rock is off of the main drag, down the hill, just far enough away. I went for lunch, they offer a concise menu, and reasonable price point for the area and environment. The service is fantastic, really the best, friendliest staff. Between the service and the view, it was a good choice for lunch. I had the fish tacos, they were solid and a good portion of fish, but flour tortillas, and I have had better. I'm not a big fan of purple cabbage, but that's me. The rice and black beans were better than your average Mexican restaurant. Overall, it was a good experience, I would return.

    Ate here for dinner one night. We sat on the patio it was nice they had some live music. They also offer blankets if you're cold. Our service was good and the food as well. I got the butternut squash soup very delicious and also a Ceasar salad. My daughter got the carne asada tacos which she loved I like the rice and beans on the side it was very flavorful. Only thing I wouldn't recommend is the quesa birria tacos it was very plain , not cheesy and floppy. My husband had to get something else unfortunately. But it was taken care of and overall it was a good meal. Definitely should make a reservation

    Alexandra S.

    The servers were very attentive and friendly. The mountain views were beautiful, and the surroundings were quiet enough to enjoy them in peace. The food was what brought my rating down. The guacamole we ordered for the table was bland and needed more lime and salt. The shrimp tacos came with a mango pico de gallo that wasn't listed on the restaurant menu but is listed on the online menu come to find. The shrimp was battered but soggy due to all the sauce on the taco. If you're a texture person like me, ask for the sauces on the side.

    What a great find! The outside patio has million dollar views of the trademark Sedona redrocks. I had their Caesar salad with shrimp. Let me tell you, the shrimp alone was worth the visit! I also recommend the honeybee margarita. Amazing and fresh! 100% recommend Saltrock Southwest Kitchen. Don't pass it up next time you are in Sedona. Pro tip: Valet will drive you back up the hill to the main road on their golf cart.

    Food is incredible. Best meal we had in Sedona. Eat here if you can get a reservation! I think there is room for improvement in the service department. We weren't checked on super often, and were also told that the patio was fully booked and we couldn't sit outside, when we stared at several empty tables on the patio throughout the entire meal. However, the excellent food made up for it. Also, they have some of the best margaritas I have ever had. I would eat here if you're in Sedona.

    Spanish Salted Caramel Ice Cream

    The wait staff is as good as the sous chef on a Saturday night #Memorable had the Scottish salmon and beef tenderloin, excellent. Dessert was a surprise, memorable and recommended... Churros with a Spanish salted caramel ice cream.

    Staying at the Amara and having easy access to Salt Rock was a blessing because their breakfast was really good. I do think their prices could be better but you get what you pay for in quality I suppose. Was not crazy about the dinner options so if I were to ever return, it'd mainly just be for breakfast. Wish I could remember the name of the smoothies cause they were soooo delicious. Negative points in the service, it was very slow pretty much all 4 times we ate there, dinner and breakfast included.

    Empanadas stuff with crab 5/5 the best
    Stu C.

    Probably the best food we had in Sedona Scallops with pork belly was excellent 5/5 Service outstanding, it was cool so we were offered blankets and it made all the difference!! Beautiful resort with calm and serenity They had a star gazing event in the courtyard with an amateur astronomer

    Food was very good on the pricier side as it is inside of a high end hotel. Service was attentive and friendly. The ambiance is casual with great view of the Red Rock mountains.

    Ask the Community - SaltRock Southwest Kitchen

    If you're a guest, can you enjoy food by the pool?

    Definitely! Our pool bar is open seasonally from 11am to 5pm daily or you can text/call in your order from the pool for room service to deliver.

    On Saturdays do they serve their breakfast menu through lunch or does it stop at 10:30 still?

    Breakfast hours are 7am to 10:30am daily with the exception of holidays.

    Do they have alternative milk(almond, coconut,oat) for coffee?

    We do! Coconut, almond, and oat milk!

    Is parking free?

    There is free parking however there is also valet which is much easier.

    Hi! Do I need make reservations for dinner or are walk-ins okay? Appreciate it. Thanks.

    You will need to make a reservation - it is really busy in Sedona these days

    Tried to walk in for lunch. Learned that the restaurant works by reservations only. Tried to make a reservation on Friday for lunch. The staff said that they don't take reservations for lunch right now. Is the restaurant still in business?

    Was this a question during 1. High Season or 2. During COVID? They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner now. Especially during high season or holidays, definitely best to make a reservation. Otherwise trying your luck is always an option.

    Do you have outdoor seating for up to 25 people?

    Contact The View or Mesa Grill (Chef Mercer's restaurants) if you want outdoor dining for a group of 25.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Yes, on the patio. They even provided a water bowl!

    People are raving about he bar, does anyone know if they can do daiquiris?

    Yes! The talent at this bar is some of the best in the state!

    When do they have live music?

    While I am not certain, we were there on a Friday night. They definitely had it then.

The staff were accommodating over the phone when we were checking to see how busy they were and in person too! Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful to the best of their abilities. My table started off with the Roasted Beet Salad, it's definitely perfect as a wonderfully light and sweet fruit medley which includes apples, strawberries, pecans, beets, and more. Super worth it to try with your meal as it's a sweet and refreshingly appetizer. For the entrees, my table had the Lamb chop lollipops , all-American breakfast, and Chilaquiles. The lamb was a perfect tender bite alongside small blocks of cheese, watermelon, and blueberries which was an interesting combo. The Chilaquiles were a nice mouthful of classic mexican breakfast flavors like the pico and jalepenos atop the tortilla chips soaking in the green sauce. Lastly, the American breakfast is a great portion of food for someone that wants a little bit of everything when it comes to breakfast time. The french toast with powdered sugar was a delightful sweet bite. Overall, I recommend this place to everybody in the area at least once!

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!

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.
