While Presidio has updated under new ownership, its one-time counterpart on the west side, Sedona Restaurant & Lounge, also has a new look, feel and menu. It’s still owned and operated by Adam Corrigan’s Suburban Restaurant & Gaming Group and maintains its stylish and modern charms, but now the room and the food pack a bit more punch.

A very hip, very large bar is the centerpiece, a great spot for a martini and a tempting look at slight twists on appetizer classics: cheese fondue, oysters on the half shell with cucumber salad, or 12-hour cured confit chicken wings. Interesting entrees like a beet and goat cheese panini and crispy Thai beef salad prove this menu is all grown up. Sedona always was a great spot for a drink with friends. Now it seems the food matches the fun.
