Excellent food quality and personal service - we come all the time to enjoy the views of the creek and intimate bar.
Serene, classy, and absolutely tasty restaurant located on
Serene, classy, and absolutely tasty restaurant located on the banks of Oak Creek. You're seated thoughtfully at the creek and soothed by the sounds of the water. There are heaters for colder months which allow you to sit without a jacket. The
What a disappointment.
We understood this to be a luxury resort. Figured lunch would be great -- you know, befitting a resort of this price and caliber. Nope. Very expensive meal for what you got. The servers were friendly and gave us a free dessert for our anniversary,
Fun Evening With Excellent Food
We had a lovely meal here. Very interesting food and professional service. It was a warm night so sitting outside by the Creek was quite comfortable and the space heater helped make it even more comfortable. We enjoyed chatting with our server and wi

I came here for my birthday and the ambiance was enchanting, the food was good, not a lot of portion for the price but delicious still. However the service was excellent and came with complimentary drinks.
Went here for lunch and then a wedding venue tour.
We had lunch at Cress on Oak Creek before and it was awful. The restaurant was near empty at 12:30pm and we were out in a room in the back and forgot about. We ordered sandwich's and salad. I told the server at I had a severe allergy and he cont
Disappointed in service
We’ve been here twice, hoping to get a table on the creek. Both times we reserved for creekside patio seating. Both times, despite the optimal weather, they were not serving on the patio. There was a chance of rain that evening and we were there at
Five Star Experience
October 1, 2025 Evening Dinner Food, drink, service, ambiance all 5 star. A wonderful experience. We will return on our next visit to Sedona.
This place is beautiful but the food and service is nothing
This place is beautiful but the food and service is nothing to write home about. I got a Bucatini Pasta that was clumped together and cold when it hit the table. Not that pasta is ever very hot out of the kitchen, but cold is never good. The bee'

I don't often write bad reviews, except when I have an exceptionally disappointing experience. We had a reservation for four people September 26th. Originally we were going to be sitting outside, but due to rain we were informed that we would b

From the start the staff let's you know you are not worthy to dine there and does everything possible to show that they are superior; even though they are service employee. What follows is a pretty mediocre experience as far as taste and servic
Nouvelle amazing!
Nouvelle Halibut was the most flavorful and delicious I have had, the was out of this world and so dessert out of this world !
Went for breakfast because it was comped with our hotel.
I know it's going to be expensive due to the location, which is lovely, but $17 for pour over coffee is outrageous. I got the Avocado toast, around $20 and it was one piece of toast with light toppings of tomatoes and pickled onions which were o
Absolutely disappointing experience.
Would not recommend. Came in with a group of 8 expecting a nice evening, but left completely disgusted and shocked at the level of service (or lack thereof). From the start, we were upfront with our server that we planned to start with drinks and so
Over rated.
Food was ok and the service was not good. Very expensive. We had a skunk running around the outdoor tables and the waiter told us to calm down. ??????? Not coming back to this place.
We had our anniversary dinner at the Cress.
Had reserved a table by the creek which is amazing. Although we had a reservation at 7:30, weeks had to wait 15-20 mins to be seated at our table. We were served complimentary glasses of sparkling wine. Got the burrata and bread appetizer, split a me

Service is amazing as always! Our favorite app was the watermelon with mint starter. For dinner we got the half chicken and the pasta and both were 10/10. The ambiance and views are unmatched.
Steak was perfectly cooked - tasted amazing.
Enjoyed the sides (potatoes and broccolini salad). Would def go back for food and ambiance. -- in fact, we did. Ate here twice during our stay at l'auberge.
The food was good.
The service was ok. Vallet was expensive and rude. They took the money and they did not open the door etc. it was our 13 year anniversary and we requested creek side and they confirmed ($50 fee per person if you don't show up) but when we came t

I should have heeded the warning from other reviewers and chosen a different restaurant!! The ambience sitting outside with the babbling creek was lovely and my waiter was OK. I was there for breakfast and ordered chilaquiles with my eggs over
Very mid service and food.
For being at a nice resort I was let down. Even valet was hard to work with
Don't waste your money.
On the positive side, our waiter was friendly & personable. Also, the creek is lovely and so was the live music. On the negative side: The scallops were served cold and we sent them back. The food is extremely over salted. The steak tasted like i

This place was impressive, unfortunately it rained so our dinner service was inside rather than on the creek but still a beautiful restaurant. The service was amazing, our server super attentive and nice, checked on us multiple times. All of the food
Peaceful Mornings & Memorable Meals at Cress on Oak Creek
Cress on Oak Creek is a gem in Sedona. We had two lovely dinners and breakfast every morning during our stay at the beautiful L’Auberge hotel. The setting by the creek is both elegant and serene—mornings were especially peaceful, with ducks swimm
Expensive, off-putting and underwhelming
Food was terrible. The burger was overcooked and dry. The shrimp was burnt and our daughter noodles had a bug at the bottom of the plate. Spoke the manager and provided feedback but didn't seem to care much. He took off the noodles like it was a
Check this place out in Sedona Az!
Beautiful place and very tranquil! So beautiful to be looking over the water! I loved the fire pits that were so nice to sit and have a drink and talk about the days travels. We loved it! It’s a must see for anyone who who loves seeing water in Ari
Good - but a bit overpriced
Cress is fine dining beside Oak Creek. The food is very good - though overpriced in my opinion. Cost to park is outrageous with few options outside of taxi or uber. Our group enjoyed everything from steak to salad. All were well prepared and tas
Fantastic facial with Mary Anne
Great facial at L'Apothecary! Tranquil spa with nice steam room & all the amenities. Mary Anne was fantastic! She carefully examined my skin and designed a facial that left my skin refreshed! And such a kind and lovely person! Thank you
Not worth it.
This property alongside a creek could be wonderful but it is not. A lot of it including our room and the spa was very dated and not kept up very well. The decks are not swept or cleaned routinely. The outdoor lights on trees by the creek are covered
Stunning views, delicious foods, & amazing service
Gorgeous views and delicious food. I thought everything was perfect but then Kat showed up and made our visit sublime!! I highly recommend!!!
Best Anniversary Restaurant Ever
This restaurant was so romantic. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary. We ate right on the water at the oak Creek. The waitress was so great and responsive to our needs. We had champagne and appetizers. Them our meal was excellent. We had shrimp
Run away from this place
This place is brutal. We stayed at the hotel for three nights and ate here three times. The service was horrendous every single meal. Couldn’t get silverware. Parts of the meal showed up and others didn’t. Food was adequate but crazy overpriced -
Great ambianceand awesome food
To begin, we got a table creekside. So special. Chris was our server and he is a great collaboration with chef! The clams featured chile which i don't enjoy. He explained my dilemma to Chef Andrew. Resulted in best dish of in shell clams with wh
FOOD AND SERVICE LACKING
The setting is great if you don’t mind flying insects. We had Chimichurri shrimp which was ok. Filet mignon cold, pasta dish cold. Ordered a half bottle of champagne,poured it myself. Expected much more from this restaurant. The resort itself is s
Unprofessional management
my daughter and I went up to Sedona for a few days to relax and unwind. We dined at the restaurant at the Labarge. At 11:30 in the morning, as we sat down, we informed the waiter that my daughter had a severe nut allergy. Once she ordered her salad,
Too many other pretty places with Great food in Sedona
So, the good first..... beautiful atmosphere on Oak Creek. Service was pleasant. Unfortunately, breakfast was very average and the pancakes were nothing extraordinary. For the prices they charge, including a $17 valet fee - I expected so much more. T
The ONLY wonderful part of this experience is the location.
Cocktails were weak. Two very tiny pieces of lobster for $80! One cup of Truffle soup for $30. The "spaghetti" that was served as part of the meal was a spoonful of cold pasta. Been to many fine dining experiences across the nation and worl
Pleasant but very slow service.
Don't go hungry. You will go through 3 bread baskets before you get your meal. I guess the idea is to have you drink your way through your meal. Although tasty, the portions are VERY small. We ordered à la cart off of the menu. My Husband had the l
Ambiance is really nice, food is way overpriced.
We had the waygu and they served us a sirloin. We stayed on property, and I would recommend going elsewhere.
Ambiance was great! We were seated outside.
Food was way overpriced and under delivered. We ordered the ribeye and were given an overly fatty sirloin.
The most disappointing dining experience I’ve ever had.
This restaurant is beautifully set along the creek and is a gem of a property from a location standpoint. Unfortunately, the accolades end there. I took my better half to celebrate her birthday and it was a total disappointment. The service was untra

Um...this was bad. I get prix fixed menus...but not when everything sucks. Sorry to be so straight forward, but this was bad. Overpriced, overrated. Food was really gross. Steak did not come as I ordered and was room temp. I'm not sure what those po

The ambience was nice and the atmosphere was very romantic, however there were many things wrong with this establishment. We arrived early and were directed to the bar. (we walked and didn't take a car so I can't speak if they still charge $17 for

The service was good as was the wine pairing but the food wasn't actually the opposite and the portions were so small we couldn't believe it. Actually it was a joke. On top of that the menu prices were very deceptive and what we expected to cost $450

We had a delightful multi-course meal here for Valentine's Day. It was a wonderful, upscale dining experience with live Viola music, wine-pairing, and white tablecloths. Our service was spot on, prompt, and timely. Everything was delicious and the
Beautiful inviting location.
Had a walking violinist playing during dinner. Not too loud. We had the 6 course tasting menu. All was fantastic except the steak which was supposed to be Wagyu but really didn't taste or feel like it. Service was superb and they are flexible if you
You cannot beat the view and the location.
It is beautiful and such a nice experience. There was some live music. It was a lunch time buffet on a Sunday. If you have a perfect seat on the water, it is a long trip to the buffet, but the seat is worth it. I would love to come back. For a buffet
Mediocre food that breaks the bank

Every few years my wife and I make the pilgrimage to L'Auberge to dine at the Cress restaurant which overlooks the creek. First and foremost is the ambiance. It's intimate and stunning. Truly second-to-none. Just take a look at the video I posted of

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Cress on Oak Creek Sedona at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Cress on Oak Creek Sedona page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CompellingStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CompellingStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CompellingStation67 for any questions Peter may have as CompellingStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CompellingStation67 now uses their connections at Cress on Oak Creek Sedona to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CompellingStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CompellingStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CompellingStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Cress on Oak Creek Sedona!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
