We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. The margaritas were fantastic, and the tuna tostadas were some of the best we ever had, including from Tahiti and Hawaii. They had the right amount of spice and they gave you quite a large serving. I got the birria tacos and my husband got the achiote half chicken (spelling?). The tacos were very flavorful, and the chicken was not dry whatsoever. The spice blend was unique. The service was fast and easy. We would definitely recommend and visit again. (We did not stay at the hotel - valet was free) Five of us had an excellent dinner at Saltrock Kitchen. Make sure you make reservations for Friday and Saturday nights as most of the Sedona restaurants fill up quick. Excellent service and food but the portions were not large. I had the scallops and Pork Belly which was excellent but it would be nice if it came with additional veggies or a larger side. We had a wonderful dinner at SaltRock Kitchen! Our waitress, Lauren, was friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. We sat on the outdoor patio and enjoyed an absolutely beautiful sunset view — it couldn’t have been more perfect. The food and drinks were fantastic, and the service matched the view. Highly recommend if you’re in Sedona!

Dinner with a View at SaltRock Kitchen 🌮🌄 We ordered three different tacos and shared them all—each one packed with flavor and a little Southwest flair. The real showstopper, though? That view. Unbeatable desert beauty paired with great company and delicious bites. SaltRock knows how to serve up a sunset!

If visiting Sedona for the first time, you must try dinner at SaltRock Kitchen at the Amara Resort. We visited during the summer of 2025 and were immediately captivated by the outdoor seating. A heater kept the temperatures comfortable, making it a perfect spot to enjoy the stunning views of Sedona’s red rocks. The kitchen offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape while providing a relaxed and comfortable dining atmosphere. The friendly and attentive service made our meal truly enjoyable. The food was delicious, with fresh salads that complemented the main courses. I had the salmon, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Despite not having a reservation, we were pleasantly surprised to wait only about 10-15 minutes for our food. The anticipation was worth it, as each dish was a culinary delight. However, it’s important to note that the restaurant can get busy, especially during peak season, and if you’re dining outdoors. Therefore, reservations are highly recommended, especially if you want to secure a table and avoid disappointment. Overall, our experience at SaltRock Kitchen was fantastic. The beautiful views, delicious food, and attentive service made it a memorable dining experience. If you’re staying in the area or a guest at the Amara Resort, I highly recommend visiting SaltRock Kitchen for a truly unforgettable meal.
