Such a quaint spot with warm atmosphere and delicious food! Mahi-mahi tacos were great. Off the grill fish went so well with fresh mango bits. Verde Valley Burger was perfect—soft, juicy and not overpowered with spices. I really appreciate fresh garlic on my fries. The staff were courteous and friendly. I was seated at the table right away though I didn’t have a reservation on a Saturday night. Live piano music was absolutely beautiful and an unexpected finally of my experience… and then, the humming birds outside the windows 🙂

Over all was pretty good. We felt everyone working there was very kind. Though we didn’t fit in because of the age demographic . This is a place for the more 50+ crowd. We actually usually love those kinds of environments too. I live in a 55+ community though I’m in my 30s. (Because I’m disabled I’m allowed to live there.) I loved the feel of the restaurant. The bar tender was so kind. Everyone went above any beyond. We didn’t have a reservation but they still made us feel welcomed.
My husband is very fussy with food. So if he loved it then it was definitely worth the price and very very good.

Visited while staying in Sedona over the holiday week. We loved it so much we returned twice more. The food is wonderful (their tomato bisque was so good!), they make a mean Bloody Mary, and their wine options are great. On Sundays they have a deal on their open bottles of wine so it makes it even more affordable than it already was. A good mix of locals and tourists. The bar tender and staff were friendly and chatty. It felt comfortable.
Will return next time I’m in Sedona.

Up the Creek – Where the Wine is Flowing and So Are My Feelings
When a boy you love breaks your heart, rips it clean out of your chest, tosses it on the ground, and does a little Swiss two-step on it for good measure, what do you do? You let your friends throw you in a car, drive you north to the enchanted land of Page Springs, and remind you that Arizona wine country is cheaper than therapy and comes with better appetizers.
By the time we landed at Up the Creek Bistro and Wine Bar, I was two tastings deep, emotionally unhinged, and dangerously close to texting him. But then came lunch, and suddenly, the world made sense again. Nestled in the heart of the Verde Valley, this bistro feels like it was plucked out of a Nicholas Sparks novel, minus the toxic men and plus an excellent wine list.
The food? Exactly what my wine-soaked soul needed. Fresh, flavorful, and just complicated enough to distract me from texting “I miss you” with a sad playlist on loop. We sat creekside, basking in the spring sun, sipping something chilled and semi-dry, kind of like me these days.
I’ll absolutely be back,hopefully slightly more healed, marginally more sober, and still dressed like the main character. Because nothing says I’m moving on like rosé, riverside views, and a charcuterie board you don’t have to share with someone who ghosted you emotionally months ago.

This place was good and the service was great. People in Sedona are just really nice, and we went to this restaurant after completing a few wineries’ tastings. The mac and cheese was very good and so was the burata. The food was on the heavier side with garlic, but the taste was good. We got to see hummingbirds as we ate through the windows.

Had heard wonderful things, but experience was disappointing. Food was mediocre. They were out of some menu and bar items, so we weren’t able to order as we would have liked. Neither for food, nor for drinks. Tried crab cake po boy and fish and chips. Crab cake was mushy and bland. No crunch. No chunks of crab. Lots of mushy filler. Fish and chips was alright. Nothing terrible, but nothing that was impressive. Service was one harried server. Clearly not her first rodeo. She was efficient, but rather abrupt. Place could use a thorough cleaning. View = overlooks a muddy creek. ♀️
ETA: The tone of the response by Chef Jim is representative of the level of service to be expected at Up the Creek. To the average creek non-expert, the creek looks muddy. I have been blessed to travel quite a bit and have enjoyed many amazing crab cakes. Done well, they are one of my favorite things to order. Good ones have discernible lump and texture. I have found that they are often pan fried, which results in a nice crust. The ones served at Up the Creek seemed to be baked, resulting in a crustless, mushy consistency. If that is your preference, you may enjoy them. Cheers.

This is a Very comfortable cozy restaurant. They make you feel like they’ve known you forever. I ate at the bar and had the half rack of ribs with a loaded baked potato and a side salad with balsamic. There were also seasonal vegetables. Everything was delicious. The sauce on the ribs was tangy and sweet. I like a lot of heat but this was nice for a change. It was very flavorful and cooked perfectly. The meat fell off the bone. It was a little messy but what do you expect if you order ribs? They have napkins and a sink in the restroom. I enjoyed the company of everyone at the bar. And the service was good.
Additional comment: I would have liked to see a selection of locally brewed beers on draft. (I resorted to Michelob ultra.) A better local beer selection would move Up The Creek up a notch.

We booked the event room for our son and daughter in law’s rehearsal dinner this past weekend and it was amazing. The room was rustic and charming with beautiful creek side views. Chef Jim and his staff including Debra went above and beyond to create a great experience for our guests, including some special dietary needs. The star of the evening was the wonderful food. Absolutely delicious all of it. Highly recommend for any event or just a quiet dinner for two!

We had the salmon, the pork loin steak, the rib-eye and the lamb, w/the cauliflower and artichoke appetizers.
Dessert: think “now you see it, now you don’t”. Buttermilk pie and the bread pudding.
The food prep is excellent – both my son and our employee have prior experience in the restaurant industry and they loved it all.

Father’s Day Dinner night. We’ve passed by this place several times between Cornville and LoLo Mei Campground. Always seems busy, that being said, reservations are recommended. We split the Elk and squash plate. OMGosh delicious – I mean off the chain flavor and tenderness. We didn’t have reservation, so we sat at the bar. Our server was Chris but Mario was our wine guy. We actually struck up some conversations with a couple of women from Denver and New Jersey that had been told to try Up the Creek during their travels elsewhere. If you ever meet Lorri and I in person, you’ll figure out pretty quick we enjoy meeting new folks and loving on them as bothers and sisters in Christ. We had a great time talking with Mario about the history and how he came to be part Owner. Even learned that Chris had just started working here. We finished the night with pistachio creme brule’. Excellent again. Home run guys. Thank you.
