As first-time visitors to this establishment, my lady and I, discovered an exceptional venue for a memorable date night. The experience exceeded all expectations! We secured our reservations well in advance and arrived punctually. Upon check-in, the staff promptly guided us to our outdoor seating arrangement, which offered a stunning vantage point for watching the sunset while enjoying quality time together. While skimming through the appetizer menu, we struck up a delightful conversation with neighboring diners who enthusiastically recommended the lamb lollipops. Intrigued by their endorsement, we ordered them ourselves and were thoroughly impressed. The lamb lollipops delivered an unforgettable culinary experience--tender, flavorful, and absolutely pristine. For our entrées, I selected the 16oz boneless ribeye accompanied by a loaded baked potato, bacon-wrapped asparagus, and guajillo chimichurri sauce. My lady chose the 8oz Prime Filet Mignon, elegantly topped with herb butter, garlic whipped potatoes, and lemon-zest asparagus. Both dishes were extraordinary! The ribeye proved incredibly tender and juicy with remarkable flavor in every bite, while the filet mignon was equally spectacular. Both proteins were cooked to absolute perfection, melting effortlessly on our palates and leaving us craving more. The accompanying sides were equally impressive. We concluded our meal with a brown butter cake crowned with chopped praline pecans, whipped cream, and maple caramel sauce, served over vanilla bean ice cream. This dessert was so exceptional that we couldn't resist ordering a second one. Neither of us could help ourselves--we simply had to indulge again. Honestly, if we'd had room for another stomach, we would've absolutely gone back for seconds and thirds of everything on the menu. While The Vault Uptown certainly comes with a premium price tag, I can assure you that every single dish I've mentioned is worth every penny. I'd strongly recommend requesting an outdoor table positioned toward the sunset so you can take in the stunning vista of Snoopy Rock. The perspective from that vantage point is truly breathtaking. Don't hesitate to book your table at The Vault Uptown--you'll be thrilled with your decision. read more

My friend suggested this place for brunch, and the view was absolutely stunning! Everything we ordered was delicious. My personal favorites were the lamb lollipops and the Stetson chopped salad. My boyfriend loved the trash can nachos, and my friend really enjoyed the rigatoni. The staff were also very friendly and attentive. Great food, amazing views, and such a nice brunch spot. We had a really good time here! read more

The initial greeting was so-so, but we sat at the bar and had a great view. The bartenders seemed a little dismissive at first, although, to be fair, they were extremely busy getting drinks out when we arrived. As the evening progressed, the young lady my girlfriend described as "jacked" warmed up and was incredibly nice. Now, the food was outstanding. The filet, mashed potatoes, and vegetables were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Compliments to the chef--you nailed it! This was our third visit, and the restaurant has never disappointed. That says a lot. Our only real critique would be to improve the initial greeting and perhaps upgrade the hostess experience. First impressions matter, and the greeting didn't quite match the quality of everything that followed. Other than that, perfection! We'll definitely be back. read more

The Vault Uptown - Cajun pasta add shrimp - New American Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

Dinner at the Vault was a great experience. Newbies: Request outside seating, the view is stunning. Our meal was an event as the staff was exceptional. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful, fun and there when we needed something. The adjacent table had a server that was great to watch as he kept a ladies/birthday group taken care of well also. Noted exception was the Host. She was curt, poor disposition, hurried and very unfriendly. Extremely poor first impression. I'm no therapist, but she didn't look like she was having a bad day, she appeared to be in the wrong line of work. Perhaps something where she would not come in contact with the public. I see this was pointed out in another review (no way to tell if it was the same host), but management should have reacted, hence the 4 star review. read more

The Vault Uptown - Bison meatballs with great sauce and cheese. - New American Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

I don't normally give 5 star reviews to places I have only been to once unless I am blown away. The food here was soooooo freaking good! For starters, the pina colada I had was delicious. Even the salad was amazing - and it's a salad! They had a special that night which came with pasta, lobster tail, crab cakes and garlic bread - one of the best meals I have ever had in my life! I inhaled that food. The pasta sauce was on point and delightful and the lobster tail and crab cakes were chefs kiss. I'm sad I did not get to take a pic of the dessert before me and my girls devoured it. We did wait a little long for our table even though we had reservations and we requested outdoor seating and was put in the corner instead. Normally I would deduct a star for that, but since the food absolutely blew me away, I forgot about all that while I was eating lol. I would absolutely come back here next time I am in the area. Also, it's a nice atmosphere. Very lively and a good looking crowd. Kinda nightlife vibey which I was totally cool with on a Saturday night. read more

Started with a classic margarita and a Paloma. Both very nice. The Vault is in uptown Sedona in a busy place. Parking always at a premium but public parking can be had a block or two away. Others ordered an espresso martini and an ipa. Espresso martini a hit. Well prepared and received. Ordered a trash can nachos for table. Presentation alone worth it! Stetson salad was terrific. Israelis couscous, freeze dried corn tomatoes. the Reuben was also worth trying. The schnitzel sandwich was a surprise and new to menu very pleasing. Bison sliders were somewhat disappointing. Good not over the top. Kids had buttered noodles and Mac and cheese from kid menu. No need to elaborate. Overall, this is a great spot in Sedona. A can't miss. We were here for lunch. read more

Decently priced food with a lovely view. Keep in mind the patio can be a bit windy however they do have heaters available.

Oh man! Prepare for parking wars. We loooed around 3 times until we gave up and parked a little over half a mile down and walked over. The restaurant is beautiful. It's cool since it used to be a bank. There's a nice bar in the middle. The outdoor area is beautiful because it looks over the mountain. It's breathtaking. We were late to our reservation, but since I checked in, they held our table for us. All the workers were kind, but the service was super slow since they were busy. Got to try the nachos. Highly recommend! Super packed and delicious. We got the half over and it was a lot. We also got the turkey decker which was stacked with turkey. The turkey had a nice pepper flavor. Their waffle fries are so good. Ordered the rigatoni alla vodka as well which was similar to a chicken parm. The flavor of the sauce was delicious and the chicken was so moist! All the food we tried was delicious, but the parking and service was rough. read more

I love the casual, open-&-airy atmosphere here, especially on a beautiful day. Service was friendly and impressive from the start: beginning with the host desk, in which she seated us in a lovely location out on the patio, to our server, Martin, who was fun-&-friendly, professional, attentive but completely unrushed. In addition to our cocktails, we ordered: * Cast Iron Focaccia, $15 -- rich and cheesy; it was easy to fill up on this starter; * Flat Iron Steak Frites, $42 -- hubby, being a steak guy, wasn't too impressed; * Blackened Salmon, $38 -- I found my salmon to be a generous plank and enjoyed the tastes of my entree; * Brown Butter Cake, $12 -- rich and delicious finale to our meal. The beautiful views, especially seated outside, were fabulous -- definitely adding to our dining experience! read more

I did enjoy this restaurant a lot for the views and service, however I thought it was severely overpriced for the quality of food. Our food wasn't bad, but it wasn't stellar. Definitely felt like we were paying for the view and not our food! I wouldn't recommend the focaccia - it was super hard and not very flavorful read more

Location: Off the charts. Food: Inspired and very good. Staff: 10! Unfortunately with one exception. The Host. While everyone else was friendly, helpful, engaging, all "10"'s, she was a "1". Dismissive, not engaged, hurried, sour disposition, etc., etc. A previous review stating similar experiences is why a gave a 4 star review, as management should have seen and reacted to such poor performance. Yes, people have bad days, extenuating circumstances, but from what I saw this person should probably look for work that better suits her talents and interests, most likely working away from the public. The rest of our experience made up for it though. Note to newbie's: Outdoor seating! Million $ view. read more

Drove into Sedona hungry and just looked up nearest resturant to us and this one came up. So glad we popped in here. We sat at the bar and ordered shareables/small plates. It was the tail end of lunch time with bustling atmosphere. We ordered, Poke wonton tacos, trash can nachos and bison meatballs. They did not dissappoint, everything was so full of flavor, we even ended up ordering a second plate of the Poke tacos. The bison meatballs were served piping hot with a red sauce that had great balance, I totally expected the sauce to be acidic but it was not. They were amazing, I think this is a dish I will crave! The cocktails were so delious and the flavor profile was exactly as described. If your in the area I would recommend this place. Bartender was friendly, informative and provided great suggestions. You can sit on patio for the view. Parking lot is busy. read more

We showed up to The Vault Uptown with a group of nine, fully expecting at least a little friction. Big parties tend to throw even good restaurants off their game. Not here. They had us seated quickly, no confusion, no awkward shuffle of tables. It felt organized from the start, which immediately put everyone at ease. The setting does a lot of heavy lifting, but in a good way. You're right there in Sedona with those red rock views staring back at you like a postcard that decided to come to life. We grabbed a table where we could take it all in, and it never got old, even halfway through the meal. The space itself has energy. Not loud for the sake of being loud, just busy in a way that makes you feel like you picked the right place. You can see the bar in motion, the kitchen doing its thing, servers moving with purpose. It feels alive without being chaotic. We ordered all over the menu. A couple steaks, some seafood, a few lighter dishes, and of course drinks to match. Everything came out the way you hope it will but don't always get. Temperatures were right, timing was tight, and nothing felt like an afterthought. Even with nine people, nobody was left sitting there watching others eat. Service was dialed in. Our server kept track of everything without making it feel like a transaction. Drinks refilled without asking, plates cleared at the right time, questions answered without a script. It felt natural, which is harder to pull off than people think. Here's the honest takeaway. A lot of places in Sedona lean hard on the view and forget the rest. This isn't one of them. The view is incredible, sure, but the food and service actually hold up their end of the deal. If you're in Uptown and trying to pick a spot that can handle a group and still feel like a solid night out, this is an easy yes. read more

On our last afternoon in Sedona we wanted to try out the Vault Uptown due to all the wonderful reviews. We were not disappointed! We found parking just a few steps away and we opted to sit at the bar since there was a short wait for a table. The Bartenders 5/5 were attentive and gave recommendations not only on food/drinks but also on things to do in Sedona before we headed back to Atlanta. Drinks 5/5: craft beer and The Coconino Cadillac. Food 5/5: Triple Decker Turkey Club. Huge portion enough for leftovers. Red Rock Smash Burger. The views of Sedona are stunning! read more

We came to The Vault with a reservation and were immediately greeted with smiles from the staff as soon as we walked in. We asked to be seated on the patio and got the perfect corner spot with an amazing view (as seen in my photo!). Our waitress was fantastic, super attentive and helpful when answering our questions about the menu. We decided to try their famous Trash Can Nachos, and they did not disappoint! Even the half size was plenty for two and really hit the spot. Paired with our drinks and the sunset view, it made for a perfect evening. Such a beautiful place for a sunset dinner and definitely worth checking out when in Sedona! read more

Must stop by here even if it's just for a quick bite or drink. Views are beautiful and food was so good. The staff - Kade was awesome! Ordered the ahi tacos, Tuscan pasta, calamari, & Stetson salad. My favorite was the Stetson salad and the ahi tacos. All were so good. Also tried the Shuga & Spice. It was so good and the extra jalapeño kick at the end was perfect. And even better is the candied hibiscus as it really does taste like a fruit roll up. Eat it don't waste it. read more

First I'd highly recommend making a reservation or you're looking at an hour/ hour n a half wait. But luckily there's some shops nearby to kill time! Our waiter was amazing! He was so nice I wish I got his name to give him a shoutout. My husband got the trash can nachos , def get a half order if it's for yourself it's pretty big! It was delicious. We also got the calamari , just missed some lemon. I got the creamy tuscan pasta which was great! Would recommend this cute spot! read more

This food is top notch! I am somewhat of a "food snob" and steak connoisseur, so I can say confidently you will not be disappointed. The filet was wonderful and cooked perfectly. Great mashed potatoes, creamy and smooth. Garlic butter set it over the top. Veggies had some caramelization, fresh, and tender. Casual atmosphere, good when you're traveling so you don't have to be forced to dress up. Service was good as well. read more

We came here a little after noon and were seated immediately. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and we chose a shaded table outside. The view from the patio is absolutely beautiful and makes the whole experience even better. We ordered: * Smashburger: I wouldn't necessarily consider this a traditional smashburger, but it was absolutely huge with two large patties. It also came with the best french fries. They're very thin, crispy, and honestly delicious. The portion is big enough that it could easily feed two people. * Ribs: these were amazing. The meat literally slid right off the bone and was cooked perfectly. They also came with the same delicious fries. They also have a great alcoholic beverage selection. We ordered IPAs. They didn't have any hazy IPAs, but what they did have was still really good and super refreshing after a long hike. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the view is phenomenal. I would definitely come back. read more

We made reservations ahead of time because all the videos I saw suggested we do that. Good thing we did because it was very busy when we got there. I wanted to sit outside because of the view. It had been raining earlier but luckily it wasn't when we got there or I don't know what would have happened because part of the outside is uncovered. The view is beautiful though! That's mostly what we went there for. We got the Caesar salad that had one huge crouton. Definitely something different! It was tasty though. My creamy Tuscan pasta was super rich. It was good but just so rich it was hard to eat a lot of it. My husband said he enjoyed his stroganoff. Our server was very friendly also. However, I did put in the reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary but it didn't mean anything because no one addressed it. But that's ok, it was a nice dinner anyway. read more

The Vault Uptown - Lamb chop lollipops , bison sliders and ahi tuna tacos - New American Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

Nice place! Nice view of the Sedona sites! I decided to give The Vault Uptown a try instead of a fast food place while in Sedona. I am happy that I did. I entered sometime after 1pm and was seated promptly (I requested outside seating. Glasses are already on the table - they looked a bit spotted but the server replaced the glass upon request. Evelyn was my waitress. She was so nice. I ordered the Lamb Lollipops (lamb rib chops) and Trash Can Nachos (1/2 order - thank you Evelyn for suggesting the half order). When they state 'Shareable' thats not an understatement. The portion size was really shareable - even the half order. The food was delicious! See pictures. It is pricey but if you're with a group - get the shareable items! Alone, get a sandwich or 1/2 order Nachos. Not budgeting, Order a few things - take the leftovers home for dinner! I eye-spied some other diners plates - everything looks great! Sandwiches are huge! I will be back whenever I am back in Sedona' read more

This was our first night in Sedona and we had reserved The Vault Uptown a week prior before coming into town. I am very picky with my salmon so I LOVED the blackened salmon with the poblano cream and chimichurri - it had a nice spicy kick to it! My cousins shared the Smashburger (and they should've honestly each gotten their own because it was so good) and the fries were so amazing and crispy!! We also shared the elote arancini, which is basically a rice and corn deep fried ball (hella good) and the burrata is probably hands down one of the best with the crispy kale and rosemary focaccia. Our waiter was awesome and gave us some good recommendations for a hike the next day plus nearby places to see the vortex. We sat on the high top tables by the doors so we kept getting the freezing breeze whenever the doors opened, but other than that, everything was great. Thank you again!! read more

Our group of three girlies went here for pre-dinner drinks and wanted to sit on the patio for the views. We got there around 4:45 with the patio half open, and they hinted we'd have to buy an appetizer to be able to sit out on the patio which left an iffy taste in my mouth. We ended up ordering cocktails - I got the $18 espresso martini that had way too much nutmeg on the top; the martini itself was alright. For the price of the cocktail (I'm from Denver and these prices surprised me), I would've expected a little more refined cocktail. For an app, we ordered the Vault Bruschetta which was definitely disappointing - $18 for three small slices. The toppings were tasty, but the bread wasn't crisp or anything, and just didn't taste great. After tax and tip, it just didn't seem like the $80+ check was worth it. However, the view truly was spectacular from the patio. read more

Service and ambience are great! My fiancé and I ordered the bruschetta, ahi wonton tacos plus the sirloin. Although we would've preferred the bread toasted for the bruschetta plate, all three were good, the salmon would be my favorite. The ahi wonton tacos were the perfect appetizer. They are kinda small though for the price. The sirloin was ordered medium rare. We waiting a pretty long time and were patient. When we got the steak the first time around it wasn't medium rare. We informed our waiter and they fix it right away. The second round, the sirloin was perfect! The flavor and sear were all there! Worth the money after fixing it. Overall an 8/10 for ambience and views of the red rocks. For two of us, total came out around $100 and my fiancé did order a cocktail. read more

A lovely venue, but terrible parking structure. Trying to get into a space gave me a headache. The actual restaurant however, is very nice. It's clean, spacious, and has outdoor seating. The staff were friendly and the service was pretty timely. I ordered the Ahi Wonton Tacos... 10/10 and the Brown Butter Cake (without the banana)... also 10/10. This was my first time trying Ahi so I didn't know what to expect. It was such a pleasant surprise. The butter cake initially comes off very sweet, but once you get around the edges, the inside is pretty darn good. I'm leaving Sedona on a high note because of this experience. read more

Always amazing and always a treat. My husband and I were seated and served promptly. Servers are always prompt, and courteous. The atmosphere was upbeat with an excellent vibe.
