It's a small breakfast cafe inside the Modern Sedona hotel and I'll admit, I was hoping breakfast would be included with the stay since the hotel is newly renovated. That's not how it works though. Guests get about a $7 credit, which goes toward a basic continental-style breakfast, and anything beyond that you pay for. Non-hotel guests are welcome too, just without the credit.
That said, The Den is actually a nice little spot. A few tables, a bar and genuinely friendly staff. Everything feels relaxed and welcoming. The breakfast itself was simple, but that's not a bad thing. Most importantly for me was that it wasn't greasy, that happens to be a big plus comparing to other restaurants.
Keep in mind when visiting that portions are a bit small, so I added an extra egg and avocado, but overall the meal quite good.
My one real issue was with their side option is fruit, specifically a fruit cup with cantaloupe. And honestly, cantaloupe with eggs and sausage just doesn't work. It's a strange pairing and can leave your stomach feeling off afterward. I'm surprised whoever designed the menu didn't think this. Even a simple veggie side, tomatoes, cucumber, greens, anything would make way more sense and wouldn't cost more.
Overall, a good little breakfast spot with potential. If they fix the side options, I'd happily return. read more
