Made reservations for today at 4:15 and the service provided by James was better than expected but…read moreI cannot say the same for the food and especially not based on managements approach. While making the reservation I made a note that our oldest son is autistic and non-verbal and his only form of communication so that staff was aware we decided to give this place a try. After spending close to $800 on food for our party we decided to exit the restaurant and that is when the problems began. As we were walking out another customer at the bar a patron at the bar decided to squeal at my son but also yell into his face. When who I assumed was her daughter realized we saw what was going on she covered her mouth and told her to stop. Being adults and understanding of others different situations we decided the best method was to approach the management team and explain the situation. I then approached a manger who was wearing a pink colored collared shirt and explained to her what happened and her response was "that hurts my heart, we do not stand for that and we will definitely do something about this." We waited outside for about 15 minutes to see what was going to be done and once we saw nothing was I went back in to speak to the general manager. This was definitely the worst part of the night. Tiana came out to speak to us and I asked her to speak on the side so that other patrons were not affected. Her response to me after explaining the situation was "since we did not see it we cannot do anything." I let her know that was an inappropriate response and that since it was a private business they could remove any patron for any reason but if they did not want to do that then she could just openly tell me that. I then gave her an example and stated "if I stab someone and you do not see it then you would not remove me?" Her response was "we definitely would," to which I stated that goes against what you just openly told me and she that there is damage from a stabbing. I then stated to her that physical damage is the same as emotional and mental damge just in a different form which she seemed to easily dismiss. She then stated that the first manager I spoke to was doing her due diligence to find out what happened and I then pointed out that that manager was actually waiting tables and we watched her do this the entire time so I was not sure when due diligence was being completed. We went around in circles, I asked her to give me the ownership information to which she stated "the owner is too famous for you to know," but eventually gave me the name which I had already searched for in my phone. At this point I openly stated that she could just tell me they were not going to do anything and that transparency would be more appreciated to which her response was "you are not currently dining in my restaurant so you need to leave my property." We did walk away but I hope that this is addressed and not pushed aside. All that to say, I hope this type of discrimination was not because we were Hispanic (the restaurant was filled with 90% Caucasian clients), because we were from out of town (from California) and mostly I hope it is not because the stance of the restaurant is not that people with disabilities matter less. I hope someone reaches out to me to address this concern and I hope no other family has to be a part of what we went through tonight. Tiana seems to be invested in the business and that is great but should also understand her customer concerns. Update to this review: Called this morning (2/17/26) and the hostess said she was not going to help me with any information, that I was a weirdo, to grow up and then hung up the phone on me.

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.

You'll need nerves of steel driving down the mountains. COME HERE! You can thank me later!

It's a small place, right next to the larger winery right down the road (but they serve different wines at this location) The lavender mead, was interesting.

Wicked City, wickedly cool. It was really a sheer accident, on my friend's suggestion, that we even…read morewent to Jerome. What an awesome city! So much charm and with an interesting, if not sordid, past. Naturally, being in a place full of unique bars and restaurants, we had to seek out those that called us most. Wicked City Saloon is a cozy, little bar up near the top of the city. Beer, wine, cider. Sorry, no food. But the owners do have the Haunted Hamburger restaurant up the street, so load up there, then stop by the saloon. We had the opportunity to talk to the owner/bartender, Dawn, between customers. Her husband popped in for a second. Not only was she friendly and a good listener, but she was helpful, recommending different sites and restaurants to go, including the Bordello of Jerome (a restaurant, not a brothel!). On a side note, they are not open every day, nor all year long, so check in before making the trip. That being said, Jerome is definitely worth a day or even night trip from Phoenix. And there are wineries in the area if you really want to make a go of it. One last thing: loved the hidden bathroom. Ask Dawn or whoever is on duty where it is if you can't find it.

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.

Asked chat gpt where to eat between Phoenix and Sedona and this was recommended. After reading…read moreother yelp reviews and looking at the menu, I decided we would try it. We ordered shrimp cocktail, cheese platter, elk, lamb, a Sedona burger and the pistachio crème brûlée. The elk was so good and the sauce was amazing. The lamb was good too, though we found the sauce to be too overpowering so dipped it in the remaining sauce from the elk. The burger was also very good. So large had to eat with a knife and fork. The pistachio dessert was a delicious way to end our meal. The restaurant itself was very small from what we could see and we did make reservations. We sat by the window that overlooked the creek and saw several hummingbirds as there were feeders outside. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Happy to support a gem like this. We will be back for sure!

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!

This review is for the vinyl side of the cafe. I have no experience with the restaurant or cafe…read moreside of the business. I visited the vinyl store with my wife since it is the only one in the greater Cottonwood/Sedona/VOC area. Even though my wife and I are mostly alt/metal core listeners, my wife is also a big Swiftie and there are exclusive drops at record stores for Record Store Day. My issue is with the way customers are treated at this store. When my wife asked what drops were coming in this month, she received a very curt response from the girl at the front desk saying they are not allowed to discuss what is coming into the store. Weird, but okay. She asked my wife to tell her what she was looking for so she could contact her if they received it. When my wife told her it was a Taylor Swift album, she basically laughed in her face and said they would never carry Taylor Swift there, making my wife feel judged and stupid for even asking. It is unfortunate that this employee chose to not only judge my wife for her taste in music but also decided to be really rude about it. I get that the store has more of a metal/alt aesthetic and they are allowed to carry whatever they want, but treating customers like they are lesser for liking different music is just really dumb and in my opinion pretty against the art form entirely, especially when it comes to punk/metal/alt/goth genres. Customer service should not be hostile to the people walking through your door. We obviously will not be going back, which really sucks because as vinyl collectors we would love to support the business. Vinyl stores are so rare nowadays, but if they are going to judge you based on what you listen to and be crappy to your face about it, we do not want to be supporting this place anyway. Do better Queen B. Art is subjective and you are doing a bad job and should be ashamed of how you are representing it. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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.
