    Chicken pot pie
    Mlissa H.

    This place has a BEAUTIFUL view! Not sure the rock formation name but just gorgeous. The waitress was polite. We got everything we ordered quickly. We ordered the pretzel bread and wings to start. The bread and cheese were great! The wings were a little bland if you didn't roll around in extra sauce on the plate. Not sure what made them 'fireball' because they were not spicy. Glad they didn't taste like cinnamon my son got the chicken pot pie and it just tasted like peppered chicken. It was so ridiculously hot he couldn't even try it for like 1/2 hour. My husband and I were done before he even had a bite. My husband had the bison burger and it was nothing special. I had the swordfish (I know risky since we were in the desert!) it was bland. Combining it with the sauce and potatoes made it decent. The vegetables were great. We did not stay for dessert

    We were here for lunch after the cathedral Rock hike. Walk in before 12, so we got a seat at the patio. Wow, the view is great! And after the food come, the food is even better. Husband had their today's special, something like a Mexican sub, i tasted it, really great! I had a steak whatever thing on a pita bread, also great! Very tasty and satisfying. Both of us are super impressed with this place! And again, it's recommended by Chatgtp!

    This place is amazing, amazing, amazing--I'm still thinking about the food! Every single bite was out of this world--packed with flavor and seriously delicious. You can tell they put real thought into every dish. The bruschetta was a standout, and I loved that it was cut in half, making it perfect for sharing (or not... no judgment if you keep it all to yourself ). Fair warning: the salads are HUGE. Like, full-on entrée status. If you order one, you might not have room for much else--but honestly, it could easily be your whole meal and you'd leave happy. The service? Excellent. Attentive without being overbearing. The ambiance hit that sweet spot--comfortable, inviting, and just the right vibe for a night out. And yes, there's a full bar, which just seals the deal. I'll definitely be back. This spot absolutely delivers from start to finish.

    Open-Face Turkey Sandwich
    Victoria P.

    Wow absolutely blown away! This is our 2nd time visiting Sedona in the last 15 years and everything was just as amazing as we remember it. We decided to give the Hudson a try when they first opened at 11:30am. Food (5/5): One word. Fantastic! We ordered their famous mushroom burger, chicken caprese sandwich, open face turkey sandwich, the chicken pot pie, and the southwestern chicken pasta. The mushroom burger was juicy and well flavored. The fries were perfectly crispy and salted. The turkey sandwich had a generous portion of cheese layered on top of avocado, tomatoes, and tasty turkey. The pot pie had a nice, flakey layered crust and the filling was creamy and delicious! The southwestern chicken pasta had a great variety of flavors! Lastly, we stuffed ourselves with their peach cobbler topped with decadent vanilla ice cream. The textures together were delightful! Service: Super quick and professional! Our server, Kyle, was friendly and super attentive. We appreciated his recommendations and hospitality! Other staff members came to refill our drinks and made sure we were comfortable during our stay as well. Ambiance: Beautiful! This restaurant was located in the back of the Hillside parking complex after you walk up a nice big staircase. Our table had a direct view to the Sedona rock scape and it was amazing to look at while eating. The restaurant was nicely air conditioned and luxurious looking.

    Hudson Mushroom Burger
    Jay Y.

    Beautiful atmosphere in Sedona, but be prepared for a wait. We waited about 45 minutes, and the table turnover isn't very fast, so expect a long wait during peak hours. For starters, the beer battered calamari and dynamite shrimp had very strong Asian-inspired flavors. As for the Hudson Mushroom Burger, it's served on ciabatta-style bread rather than a standard bun, making it feel more like a sandwich. It was good, but I wouldn't call it the best I've had. On the plus side, the portions are generous and the side of fries/coleslaw were satisfying. Having visited for three years in a row, I felt the taste wasn't quite as good as it used to be, which was a bit disappointing.

    Bison burger
    Cammi P.

    The Hudson has always been my favorite restaurant in Sedona. From the breathtaking views, to the delicious food and amazing service, The Hudson should be your go-to restaurant in the area. The bison burger was so incredibly delicious. Bison is such a lean, healthier red meat. It's definitely a favorite of mine, so when I saw it on the menu, I knew I had to order it. The chopped salad was the perfect accompaniment with its fresh avocado and corn. The portions were perfect for sharing! I would always recommend a reservation. The restaurant was more than accommodating on having a seat with a view on the inside, especially as it was a bit of a warmer day. The Hudson is also located in a cute little area, with plenty of parking and local shops. The food and vibes are always consistent and amazing and I will be dreaming of this meal until I can dine here again, soon!

    Sesame Seared Rare Ahi Tuna Salad (3/5)
    Ian N.

    Chocolate Chunk Skookie Avalanche (4/5): Would've preferred no nuts and a slightly firmer cookie. The ice cream was very good. Salted Soft Pretzel Bread (4/5): The cheese sauce was like queso which wasn't my favorite pairing with the pretzel bites. The pretzel itself was very soft. The mustard was pretty good (I preferred this over the cheese). Prickly Pear BBQ Baby Back Ribs (3/5): Ribs were fall off the bone and very tender but I didn't love the sauce (which there was far too much of). There also wasn't any bark on the meat or any smokiness. The fries were crispy and delicious. The coleslaw was gross and had a weird sweet flavor that was caramel-like. Sesame Seared Rare Ahi Tuna Salad (3/5): Tuna was mediocre. Salad had a lot of different textures which I liked but the dressing was a little too heavy on the ginger for me. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    Pork Chops
    Marcie L.

    We arrived around 8:30 PM after just getting into town, and the place was packed. Luckily, we were able to grab a couple seats at the bar. Our bartender/waitress was awesome - super friendly, attentive, and made the experience really enjoyable despite. Pork Chops: the sauce was great, but unfortunately the pork chop itself was overcooked and pretty chewy. The mashed potatoes and vegetables, however, were cooked perfectly and tasted great. Chicken Pot Pie: the crust was delicious and nice and crispy, and the flavor was good. The filling, though, was a bit too soupy, and the chicken came in larger chunks rather than being more incorporated into the filling. Not going to lie... mine at home is better. Still decent flavor, just not cooked quite right. Overall, it's a cute place with a beautiful view and amazing service, but the food was a bit mediocre compared to the rest of the experience.

    Bison burger
    Jennell H.

    Perfect way to end our Sedona trip eating dinner here! It was a 45 min wait when we first got there but we actually got a table sooner than that and on the patio! Beautiful views from the patio but it's also really pretty inside too. The service was amazing as well. I got the steak and bleu salad and it was delicious! My hubby got the bison burger which was great also. Def recommend!!

    We are regulars to Sedona (coming for 30yrs) and have a lot of favorites that we cannot go to on every trip. We are so glad we decided to move The Hudson up on the rotation. We made a reservation for 5p and were able to sit on the patio for an amazing sunset, meal and having the great pleasure of Brooks serving us. Given that Brooks has been working at The Hudson since it opened 10yrs ago it's no surprise that we recognized him. We will always ask for Brooks when we come back. The chef (who is the owner) pays a great attention to detail. Everything we ordered was uniquely, well presented and generous and that's in top of having such wonderful flavors. We started with both of us getting the Stone Fruit Old Fashion and it was perfectly balanced. We orders the Roasted Beet Salad and they split it in the kitchen and each portion looked like its own unique plating. We paired the salad with the Brie & Apples. For dinner I got the Baked stuffed Shrimp and my husband got the Grilled Pork Chop. We knew we couldn't eat all of these dishes, but didn't want to not get them as we were passing on other great dishes. Needless to say, we are looking forward to our leftovers for tomorrow nights dinner. All of the staff were welcoming and friendly. Brooks has a few extra minutes at the end to share more insights about the Hudson and the area. He made sure to tell us to ask for him nice time which we will. Hope everyone has as food of an experience as we did.

    Pork tacos
    Danielle M.

    A gorgeous setting with great food! Was so happy we made a reservation and got to enjoy the Mountain Views. The food was delicious and the vibe was bright and homey. The whipped feta appetizer was 10/10! I loved my kale salad, and my group really enjoyed the chicken sandwich. Service was great and overall a wonderful spot to end the day of hiking. Was also nice that it wasn't fancy and totally acceptable to go in hiking clothes.

    Special of the day, French dip and stacked onion rings

We sat outside on the patio, absolutely beautiful weather and the tables are gently shaded by beautiful Brazilian Pepper trees. My only issue, I had bits of the tree in my hair, my water, my drink and my dinner. Our waiter Joshua was fantastic, a warm, gracious pro. PERFECT!! We started with the bone marrow appetizer. Maybe the best I've had at a restaurant. Came topped with a piping of mashed potatoes and bread crumbs. Perfectly cooked and served with toasted brioche bread, smoked sea salt and a bacon marmalade. It was delicious and huge. My only thoughts on making it perfect...Go ahead and salt your marrow in the kitchen and add another slice of toast. You are serving two big marrow bones, so don't be stingy with a piece of toast. All that said, this app was highlight of dinner. My daughter opted for another appetizer as her entree. She had the Spanish style garlic chili shrimp in butter. Looked huge and she said it was over the top fabulous. (I'm allergic to shellfish so I just took her word) She added some duck fat fries which were fine, but not great. I had the mushroom strudel and it was okay but frankly pretty underwhelming. Think it had been pre-made, filling was blah, flakey pastry was not, and highlight was a plucky little pepper sauce that was delicious but didn't really go with the main dish. It screamed for a nice cream sauce, and some butter in the filling. I love mushrooms as a main and this poor little pastry looked and tasted like a hot pocket. Now back to the positives. The dark chocolate soufflé with homemade crème anglaise is lovely and well worth it . My daughter also loved the prickly pear margaritas. All in all, really nice experience and meal. The kitchen obviously functions well and service is perfect. A few tweaks on the menu and this place is stellar. Even now, a Great special occasion restaurant and the location and lovely service made it special for us.

But the ambiance overall was nice and it was a beautiful day. Bruschetta trio was good. I liked the jamon one the best. The Tuna Nicoise was fine. Presentation was lovely. My bf would have liked some other veggies and don't feel it lived up to his standards. I had the Monte Cristo which was enormous and tasty. The ham had been fried and it really added to the flavor. The soufflé was incredible- although we were not advised it was a $5 upcharge for a minuscule scoop of ice cream. Speaking of prices. We were charged $30 for my sandwich which was listed as $24 on the menu. We didn't notice until I looked at the receipt that he next day. It's only $6 but it didn't leave me feeling positively.

Cool evening temps nearly discouraged us from dining outdoors, but with plenty of heaters, fire pits, and (perhaps the nicest touch) being offered a warm blanket to stave off any chill, we were not only comfortable but also very glad we remained on the patio for our nearly 2 hour food extravaganza. Live music from a very talented guitarist/vocalist elevated the experience further. Service was highly attentive but not at all intrusive. Everyone's food tastes being different, I'll refrain from suggesting what you might order. I can say my meal of short ribs was good to the last bite, served with small potatoes and grilled carrots. I suspect that anything on the menu will meet your high standards. As an added bonus, as the sky darkened after sunset, a telescope and expert was on hand and inviting to anyone wanting a closer view of the beautiful Sedona sky. Top-notch venue, really classy vibe and atmosphere, and of course - great food and service make Salt Rock Kitchen in the Amara Resort a must do.

Throughout the meal, not a single drink at our table was refilled or asked to be refilled once. We spent most of the time with empty drinks, and basic table check-ins were lacking overall. I did jokingly ask the server "What do we get for leaving a review" and I can tell she was taken aback by the question but still came back with my order saying all she could was extra whip cream because she didn't have that kind of reputation. I feel as though this shows her lack of confidence and experience. I don't expect free things, but I do expect attentive service -- especially when asking customers to publicly praise the experience. Hopefully this is taken as constructive criticism because there's definitely room for improvement in attentiveness and customer care. On another note, the pasta was definitely really good.
