The Melting Point

Car repair is the work at Redrock Precision Motors, 1425 West State Route Highway 89A in Sedona. The shop's own site says it handles both import and domestic vehicles and posts its procedures, policies and recall notices for customers to read. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to noon on Friday, with the weekend closed, so a Friday afternoon drop-off will not work. The shop also serves Cottonwood. Call 1 928 282 6621 or email business@redrockprecisionmotors.com to book. Ask about the wait, since a small shop books up.

Stagecoach Country Roadhouse is a pub and barbecue spot at 1405 West State Route 89A in Sedona. It opens at 11 in the morning and stays open late, up to 2 a.m. on some nights. There is seating outside, and you can take food to go. The place is wheelchair accessible. The website has menus for lunch, dinner, drinks, and dessert, plus a list of events. Call (928) 203-5463 to ask about a table or what is on that night. Hours and details can change, so it is a good idea to call and check before you make the trip.

Sedona Holistic Medicine is a clinic in Sedona, at 1350 State Rte 89A #26. The suite number matters, since that address sits in a building with several tenants. The phone number is (928) 862-2914. The map data files it as a clinic, which is all we can say about the kind of care offered. We do not have hours, the names of the providers, what they treat, whether they take insurance, or if they are taking new patients. Those are the things to ask when you call. We list it under wellness, and that grouping is ours, not a credential.

Vegetarian cooking at 1595 West Highway 89A in Sedona, with organic ingredients and a garden seating area alongside the indoor dining room. Food is made in house, and a small shop sells chocolates, nut butters, teas and other packaged goods. Hours split across the week: Tuesday and Wednesday the kitchen runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Thursday through Monday it stays open until 8 p.m. There is no wireless internet for customers. Larger groups should reserve. Call (928) 282-2997, or email orders@chocolatree.com, to book a table, place a takeout order or ask what is on the menu that day.

The Heartline Cafe is a family-owned restaurant at 1610 State Rte 89A in Sedona. Guests can eat inside or out on a patio set in gardens. The menu changes with the seasons, and there is a long wine list. It also offers catering. The cafe serves dinner from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on most days and is closed on Tuesday. Hours can change, so call (928) 282-0785 or email heartline@heartlinecafe.com before you go. Reservations can be made online through the restaurant website, which also shows the menu.

An art gallery at 70 Dry Creek Road in Sedona, set away from the main shopping streets. The gallery sells work by the artists it represents, and what hangs on the walls changes as pieces sell and new shows arrive. Because hours vary with the season and with private showings, calling first is the safest way to avoid a closed door. The number is (928) 204-1765. Staff can tell you which artists are currently represented, whether a particular piece is still available and how shipping and framing are handled. The website carries images of current work if you want to look before driving out.

Fine art is the business at Mountain Trails Galleries Sedona, 336 Patio Azul in Sedona. The gallery site groups its work into artists, monuments, estate art and giclee prints, and it runs gallery tours and artist events through the year. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Call 928-282-3225 or email fineart@mountaintrailssedona.com to ask which artists are showing, since the walls change with the event calendar. Event dates are not kept in this record, so check with the gallery before making a trip for one.

An arts organization at 15 Art Barn Road in Sedona, with a gallery showing work by its members and a schedule of classes and workshops for adults. The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from noon on Sunday, so plan a later start if you are coming on a Sunday. In October the center runs a plein air festival every year, when painters work outdoors around the area and the results go on show. Class subjects and sizes change by season. Call (928) 282-3809 to ask what is running, what a class costs and whether space is left.
