American cooking at 671 State Route 179 in Sedona, suite D, with seating outdoors as well as inside. Children are welcome, which makes it workable for a family meal. Reservations can be made ahead, and the kitchen posts its own creations alongside the regular menu. Gift cards are sold through the site. Hours are not posted here, so call before you go, especially on a weekday evening or a holiday. The number is (928) 862-4099, and questions can also go to info@thehudsonsedona.com. Ask about wait times at busy hours and about seating outside if that is what you want.

Mexican food is on the menu at Javelina Cantina, in the shopping court at 671 State Route 179, space F-170, in Sedona. Tables are set outside as well as in, which is part of why people pick it on a mild evening. The court has parking, though it fills on weekends and through the middle of the day. Hours and the current menu are worth checking before you go, and it is sensible to ask about waits, larger groups, and whether any part of the seating is covered. From this address the rest of the shops and galleries along the same stretch are an easy walk.
