Well again I'll preface I rarely give five stars, because there is always room for improvement, but…read moretoday was a 5! 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.

Cute little cafe, and I thought ordering in the caboose was unique. My biggest gripe is that there…read morewere no prices for any of the sandwiches or pastries. Fortunately they weren't too expensive ($15 for a sandwich and pastry) but would be nice to have the prices listed. The sandwich was alright, though I wasn't the biggest fan of the turkey. The pastry was also alright, but I would probably pass on it if I came again. Service was good and the dining area is pleasant. The line can be a bit long but overall I had a good experience.

The pastries here are great. I had a Cinnamon bun with pecans, frosting, and caramel, a peach and…read morecheese Danish, a croissant, and German apple cake. All were very good and well worth it. The service is kind and courteous, but very slow as there is one person taking orders, making drinks, and putting out the pastries. There is no where to sit and avoid the heat, but if the temperature is cool then it's a good spot to hang out and enjoy a meal

We had the peach arugula salad and vichyssoise soup, both were so good, we split the tomahawk steak, with Boursin potatoes and asparagus as sides, included were the yummiest of sauces. Each bite was so good. And then crème brûlée for dessert. Absolute best date night.

Our waiter was super nice and always checking in on us without being overbearing! The Lavender Wisp definitely tasted like a REAL mocktail haha! It almost had a champagne-like taste to it, which I really enjoyed. The Pepe pasta was delicious! It was more on the creamy side and honestly reminded me of mac & cheese, but in spaghetti form The fish was good, but for such a delicate fish, I felt like there were almost too many complex flavors going on. I think something a little simpler would have let the fish shine more. Also, it felt like we were there way longer than we actually were haha! Maybe it was the dim lighting, but time felt extra slow in there Overall, a really nice restaurant for a date night!

We dined here for both dinner and breakfast during our stay. Dinner was excellent--the food was…read moredelicious, and our server provided outstanding service. Unfortunately, our breakfast experience was the complete opposite. Despite having a reservation, we waited approximately 20 minutes to be seated. The host appeared disorganized and lacked a sense of urgency, making the check-in process frustrating. The breakfast itself was overpriced for the quality. What was most disappointing, however, was being charged an additional $10 to split a meal. This fee was never mentioned to us before the order was placed. Had we known, we simply would have shared the meal ourselves rather than paying an unexpected charge. The restaurant has a beautiful view, but the poor organization, high prices, and lack of transparency regarding additional fees left us with a very disappointing experience. Being upfront about extra charges would go a long way in improving the overall guest experience. This restaurant is not worthy of being connected to a 5-star hotel.

We always enjoy brunch here, and I had some of the best chilaquiles I've ever had. Their croissants are another must-try, especially with that yummy butter sauce. They also have infused alcohol drinks that look really good. I don't drink liquor often, but I have to admit, they looked tasty nonetheless! The outdoor seating in the back has an amazing view, so try to snag a table back there if you can. Pro tip: Come here after a hike, make a reservation, and request a table out back.

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)

Merkin Vineyards and Tasting Room is hands down one of the best wine and dining experiences I've…read moreexperienced in Arizona! From the moment you arrive, everything feels thoughtfully curated. Starting with the charming tram/trolley that takes you up to the restaurant, offering a fun and scenic alternative to climbing stairs. We started with a wine flight, and I have to say--the white wine options were outstanding! Crisp, refreshing, and beautifully balanced. Each one had its own character, and the staff, super knowledgeable and happy to walk us through the flavors and pairings. If you're a white wine lover, this spot is a must. The food was equally memorable. Hubs ordered the muffuletta sandwich which included layers of flavor with high-quality ingredients on a lofty rosemary focaccia bread- delish! I ordered the house salad & added organic chicken. This salad was fresh, hearty, and full of vibrant farm-to-table goodness. You can absolutely taste the difference. We enjoyed sitting outside with beautiful Arizona weather on the patio. This spot is perfect for sipping wine and soaking in the views. Merkin also offers canned wines to-go and a fun selection of merch, which makes it easy to take a little piece of Merkin home with you. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just looking for a relaxing day with great food and drink, Merkin Vineyards is a gem. Personally, I can't wait to return!

Every bite was perfectly balanced -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked like someone actually cares about what they're putting on a plate.

I really wanted this to be a five star after reading the reviews and ordering their "award winning"…read moreburgers. We got three burgers (waco kid, funghi sublime, and Italian stallion - first two had won awards but we were assured we couldn't go wrong), and a side of yucca fries. Maybe we came on a bad night but the burger patties were way too salty - two were very salty one was less so but still too salty for a good burger patty - it ruined what would have been very creatively curated burgers. The yucca fries tasted great, not healthy if thast what you're going for when you think of yucca since it's deep-fried in a potato batter, but it was good. We did still eat the food, though I had to down a whole glass of water with it (which didn't get refilled until after I asked for the check.. it was not a busy night, we were surrounded by empty tables). When asked how our food was toward the end of our meal I mentioned that the patties were too salty but that the yucca fries were good. Nothing was mentioned/done about that for us but hopefully they checked on that for the sake of the rest of their customers after us.

Inside was very spacious. We ordered at the counter and couldn't help but notice all the beautiful breads and pastries behind the display counter. The menu was extensive- breakfast items, salads, sandwiches, pastas, soups, small bites, and a kids menu. Soo many choices but I ended up ordering half soup and salad and my hubby got the steak torta sandwich, the advertised special. The meals were brought to our table. Spicy chicken soup/strawberry spinach salad without bleu cheese- delicious! The soup was VF/DF. Very tasty with a little kick. I didn't see any chicken, but nevertheless it was still good. The salad was fresh and I enjoyed the various textures with the strawberries and nuts. The dressing was nice and light. It also came with 2 pieces of their sliced bread. The steak torta sandwich- yummy! Hubby enjoyed it. It came with a side of sweet potato chips that were to die for. Oh and I almost forgot! Their outdoor seating faced the gorgeous Sedona rock formations. We ate our dinner facing the beautiful views and watched the sunset : ) Great food, friendly service, and gorgeous views! I would definitely eat here again, when in town.
