Diner Reviews

"A longtime favorite, the Heartline Cafe offers some of the best food in the region. And unlike many other so-called fine dining establishments in the area, their prices are reasonable and fair. Other upscale restaurants in the area - and I've eaten in most of them - may offer sleeker ambiance, slicker service, or a stellar mountain or creek view - along with vastly higher prices - few offer the same kind of fine dining experience in a casual, friendly setting that is obviously a favorite of the locals. The food is honest, inventive, and prepared with care. If you only dine in only one restaurant in Sedona, you should consider The Heartline Cafe."

"Driving off the main thoroughfare through Sedona, we found Heartline Cafe on Hwy 89 heading to Cottonwood. It is an old stand alone building painted bright blue with a stand up catfish sculpture waiting at the entrance. We opted to sit outdoors in their atrium and from there......everything was perfect. We ordered from the standard lunch menu of sandwiches and salads. The pulled pork on brioche was exceptional and the 3 potato salad was uniquely wonderful. An excellent choice for lunch and I particularly loved that we could have easily opted for breakfast choices served at the lunch hour."

"Dined here over 13 years ago when last in Sedona and this place never disappoints. The food is outstanding, unique, presentation and service all stellar. The soups are to die for and the white chocolate mousse for dessert is AMAZING! 5 star restaurants can't compare with the dishes coming out of this kitchen. I will eat here everytime I am in Sedona (hopefully it won't be 13 years in between visits), but the fact that I remembered it from 13 years ago & had to return given all the other options to dine in Sedona means it's THAT GOOD!"

"The table service bread was astonishingly bad. Think school cafeteria. Tasteless, dry, overbaked. Long list of wines, only available by the bottle. Small selection of maybe 5 wines available by the glass. Very loud environment, non-private seating. Pizza crust had no Italian roots, grandmas Bisquick texture."

"We had the filets, which were cooked to perfection. The chocolate mouses torte was served with fresh berries and a raspberry and dark chocolate sauce and was supremely delectable"

"We were in Sedona for an overnight and from reading reviews, we decided to try the Heartline Cafe. It was a chilly night and the restaurant was warm and inviting. I did feel that we sat a little longer than we should have w/o the attention of a waitperson. But when we did get their attention, everything flowed smoothly and the food was terrific."

"My husband and I enjoyed our dinner very much. Mine was the BBQ of the day, pulled pork with chipotle sauce. Flavorful with tasty sides of scalloped potatoes and grilled asparagus. And his was pecan crusted trout. The trout was cooked to perfection. However, flourless chocolate cake was not as dense or chocolately as I'm used to. And the caramel sauce was rather runny. But the meal as a whole was delicious. From beginning to end the host, water, and other staff were friendly and helpful --- not over the top. Just right. Looking forward to returning to the HC on our next trip to Sedona."

"Walleye with a chili sauce was outstanding. As usual the service was excellent. Good food, good service and at a reasonable price. What more can you ask?"

"My wife and I have eaten at The Heartline Cafe three or four times during the past three years. We like it for the variety of it's wine list, it's comfortable and romantic atmosphere, and the food of course. Our most recent visit was similar to our past ones. Our teenage boys ordered filet mignon, my wife had the pistachio-crusted chicken breast, and I had the stuffed quail. The first three dinners were as good as usual, but I can't recommend the stuffed quail. While the flavors were OK, it was very difficult to eat -- too many small bones to deal with. The service, while friendly, accurate, and efficient, was quite slow once we finished our meals. Teenage boys are not patient, but we will be back. Overall we enjoyed our evening there."

"My husband and I had a very kind and helpful waiter. We shared a rack of lamb which was delicious. It was my birthday And our waiter gave us a cream and berry dessert to share which was on the house We visited this restaurant 14years ago and were happy to find it was still there!"
Dined on 1/14/2014
"This place was so good we went back again. Our waitress was Laura. She did a great job. Super friendly. Food was excellent! I had the pecan crusted trout and my husband had the rack of lamb the first time. Both melted in your mouth. The bartender even gave us a sample of his special drink the French Poodle. Loved it so I got one. We will definitely go back the next time we are in Sadona."

"Went for New Year's Eve; food very good, but a bit pricey; service ok (perhaps, busy due to the holiday); sat in table close to kitchen, not ideal. Liked the ambience; very quaint. Would go back to try breakfast or lunhc, perhaps, probably not for dinner due to prices."

"We went New Year's Eve. We have been there a number of times and felt this was a safe choice for a busy night. The host could not find our reservation. Then he seemed to forget about us after he told us we would be seated right away. After this rocky start, the food was very good but not quite up the the restaurant's usual standards. The service was excellent after we were finally seated."
Dined on 12/31/2013
"We booked a dinner reservation that afternoon on a Saturday night, after considering other restaurants that we liked, we decided on something new. What a great choice! Heartline Cafe was more than we expected. The menu was a little limited but diverse. The food was great, the trout was cooked to perfection, service was timely and the setting was quaint. They had a fine wine selection but the wine glasses were not the right choice, more like wine tumblers. Otherwise a perfect night out."

"I used to go to Sedona once or twice a year for several years, and always included a dinner at the Heartline on every trip. However, it had been several years since friends and I went there last week. From what used to be a cozy, warm interior with subdued lighting, the restaurant now has the look of a brightly lit diner. But to be fair, the steak, trout and duck dinners the three of us ordered were all very tasty."

"Restaurant came highly recommended and did not disappoint."

"What a delight to see an established, local, mom and pop eatery that has stayed true to its roots, consistent with quality and friendly and professional service. It was a great place to have lunch outdoors and take in the Sedona vibe. My mom had the chicken chipotle wrap and I had the grilled fish tacos. Both were well condimentized, full of flavor and made with love. I'll definitely go back."

"We dined here for christmas dinner. I read all the reviews before booking this dinner and the restaurant had great reviews. Our experience was not entirely negative just a nothing. What I mean by that is the atmosphere was ok, not bad but not exceptional. The food was ok. Our server seemed to be completely off his game. Not sure if he was a fill in or what. He was very nice but did not seem to be able to keep himself organized. We are not demanding people. Usually if something is wrong with a restaurant we don't complain to staff or wait people just don't go back. I would not recommend this restaurant to a friend and will not return myself."

"Foid was delicious. Not much of a per glass wine selection. Would definitely return for more"
Dined on 12/27/2013
"Especially enjoyed the pizza, squash soup, pork sliders, adobe shrimp, sirloin steak and draft beers."

"This place was quite in demand on Christmas eve. Long lines to get in, several entrees were sold out by 8:00, and the wait staff was a bit overwhelmed. Food was very good, service friendly."

"Excellent four-course prix fixe selections, served in a timely manner despite crowded conditions"

"We had a good dinner here (not great) and the service was also acceptable. However, the ambiance left much to be desired. Considering the price, I'm not sure you get what you pay for."

"The title says it all - my wife and I had steaks which were cooked as we requested and tasted great. Our server was obviously very experienced and gave us the exact service we like - handy but not overbearing. Nice experience at mid cost range."

"Heartline is always a must stop when in Sedona. My husband loved his entree sized app- a Salade Nicoise topped with a very rare, as ordered, tuna steak. His pear squash soup, thick and flavorful, was a little sweet for my taste but just right for him. My goat cheese tart, made me sigh with pleasure-it was maybe seven inches diameter of puff pastry with rich and tart goat cheese, roasted garlic and mushrooms. I could eat it every day. The big revelation was our entree, Asian barbeque tuna steaks over jasmine rice and bok choy. The tuna was rare and juicy, the bok choy, with its soy, ginger, miso? sauce was spectacular-could have eaten an entire plateful of that alone. Too full for dessert. Large portions, fair prices, great service."

"Food and service was great. I didn't really like the triamisu cheesecake. I should have gotton the chocolate cake."
Dined on 12/8/2013
"dinner was very good, place was empty but we got great service - maybe because it was slow. My husband had prime rib, said it was one of the best he has ever had. My pasta dish was also wonderful. Great little gem of a place."

"I plan my trips to a new town with great detail and thought. I choose where we will eat very carefully. I thought I had on this one but was very disappointed. I should have know by the pre-visit phone conversation which was out of touch and unprofessional. We arrived for our reservation on time and there was a room of empty tables. The sloppy looking hostess made us wait noting we were two minutes early. We sat for about 10 minutes. The dining room was tired and out of date. Our waiter was very nice and helpful. Food was mediocre and expensive for the quality."

"I have been a patron of this restaurant for 15 years and have always enjoyed it...until recently. My husband and I are Sedona residents, who eat at Heartline 4-5 times a year, so we made our Thanksgiving dinner reservations here. I was really looking forward to a delicious, low stress meal and was seriously disappointed in the wine and the food served. The Chardonnay tasted like vinegar and I asked for another glass that was better. Then came the 'turkey' dinner...the stuffing was a brick and the measley single piece of dark meat was rubbery and inedible. Frankly, for the price this is probably the worst meal I have ever been served. Our last couple of visits have been disappointing. Sadly, this once great restaurant is in decline."

"My husband and I were looking for something open Monday. We were leaving the kids in the hotel and wanted adult fare. Many of the local restaurants had outstanding menus but were a bit pretentious for vacation. Other restaurants were just too ordinary. Heartline was absolutely perfect. Adult food--well-prepared, interesting but not 'over-the-top.' Glorious dining experience! Glad we reconnected after a 2-year hiatus. Went back the next night, too."
Dined on 11/25/2013
"Everything about our evening at Heartline cafe was excellent! The setting, staff, selection, wine list, service, entrees, desert, and after dinner drinks were terrific. We will be back every time we are in Sedona."

"Dined at Heartline on 11/18/13. Have always enjoyed this restaurant when visiting Sedona. This time we were disappointed in the food and the pace of service. Fish entrée was overcooked and dry. Pace of courses was too fast, and the constant refilling of water glasses, even if only 1/2 full was annoying. Pinot offered by the glass was not very good. May possibly give this restaurant one more try, as in the past we always enjoyed the food."

"Perfect dinner, knowledgeable staff, loved the wine list. The trout was fabulous and now I know why it is a favorite."

"The Heartline Cafe is no cafe. This fine dining restaurant offers incredible modern American cuisine for any special occasion. I would highly recommend their kobe beef sliders and gnocchi dish. Both were unparalleled. If you find yourself in Sedona, you must go!"

"Always a pleasure to be at this restaurant. Every time we come to Sedona we include a meal at Heartline."

"The food was good, but perhaps not exceptional. We particularly liked the crab cakes and the gnocchi dishes. Parking is a problem on a busy evening."
