I love to go to this place and sit by the window and watch the otters, seals, pelicans, etc.,… Most of all, I like the clam chowder bread bowl. I’ve had other dishes, but I always go back to that. Maybe it’s the cheese melted on top, who knows? Fish and chips is good most of the time, but once in a blue moon, it’s not so fresh and crunchy.

The first time I went with my fiancé at the magic hour between lunch and dinner where lunch prices were still being offered. I started with a margarita that was not what I expected, but definitely delicious with a lot of fresh fruit. We both got the chefs plates and were not disappointed. I can’t pick a favorite because they were all good but maybe (just maybe) the tamale pie stuck out in my mind. He could not stop raving about the food during the meal or for the rest of the night.

I had the Filet Mignon and it was excellent. The waiter talked to us beyond just getting our food and it was a pleasant experience.

This place has sentimental value for me, dating back to the old location. In law school, when fine dining was a luxury, my friend and I would call ahead, sit at the bar on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday to get the mussel deal. Expertly steamed mussels and a glass of wine for $10. It’s now $12.50, but, hey, it’s still a good deal.

I stayed in this wonderful property on my last visit to the area. The staff was professional, attentive and extremely helpful. We loved the cabin like room (espeically the outdoor cedar shower!)

Where outstanding “High Desert Cuisine” is combined with more than fifty years of “Old West Tradition and Hospitality”. The Cowboy Club Grille was the first of our dining rooms. Formerly the Oak Creek Tavern, it was the gathering place for Sedona’s early settlers including the founding members of the Cowboy Artists of America who organized the prestigious CAA in front of the fireplace on June 23rd, 1965.

The most useful thing was the garden out in the front that told us what we had seen in the Canyon on our hike with a description about the various plants.
