Thanksgiving

Hi. Could you give me recommendations for supper on Thanksgiving Day. Doesn’t need to be traditional just geared to the holiday. 5 adults $$ or $$$ would be great. Thank you.

Sedona has a great selection of restaurants that offer special menus or festive dining options for Thanksgiving. Many places require reservations in advance, especially for a party of five. Here are some options in the $$ to $$$ range that would be suitable for adults looking for a holiday meal without necessarily sticking to a traditional Thanksgiving menu:

  • Elote Cafe – A popular spot for upscale Mexican-inspired dishes with a twist. Their Thanksgiving menu often includes seasonal ingredients and inventive dishes, though not strictly traditional.
  • Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill – Known for scenic views and flavorful Latin American cuisine. A great setting for a special occasion with moderately upscale pricing.
  • Cress on Oak Creek (L’Auberge de Sedona) – Fine dining along the creek, offering seasonal menus with elegant preparations. Reservations are essential, and this is one of the more upscale options ($$$).

For a slightly more casual experience that still feels festive:

  • Picazzo’s Healthy Italian Kitchen – Offers Italian-inspired dishes with vegetarian and health-conscious options. They often create a special Thanksgiving menu for dine-in guests.
  • The Hudson – Casual yet chic, with American cuisine, and a great location for sunset views. Perfect for a relaxed holiday dinner.
  • Sound Bites Grill – Creative small plates and main courses, ideal for sharing among a group. Offers a warm, cozy atmosphere suitable for Thanksgiving dining.

Given that Thanksgiving is a busy time, it’s best to call ahead or book online as soon as possible. Many restaurants in Sedona offer prix-fixe menus for the holiday, which can range from around $$ to $$$ depending on the location and level of service. For a memorable experience, consider a restaurant with views of the red rocks, which adds a scenic and celebratory touch to your meal.
