Dining options: Dinner, Reservations
Description: One special menu is presented each night by Chef Brian Widmer. The fixed price meal includes homemade bread, soup, salad, the featured entree, dessert and coffee. (Dietary restrictions are happily accommodated with advance notice.) With limited seating guests often share a table. Over the years our guests have often told us of friendships forged while enjoying a delicious dinner; for many it is part of the unique experience that is "Garland's Lodge." (Tables for two can be requested, but cannot always be guaranteed.) Cocktails are served by the fire or out on the lawn while the season permits, beginning at 6 P.M. All are seated when the dinner bell rings at 7 P.M.

We found Garlands a few years ago and were thrilled by the overall experience. The meal is fixed, no choices, cocktail hour precedes the meal and you always have an interesting group of new acquaintanceswith which to share dinner. My only gripe was that we expected pork loin, the meat did not arrive so they cooked short ribs...one of my... More

This is my first ever review on Tripadviser, but I am so disappointed that I felt compelled to do this. We'd heard about Garlands from the Tourist Information Centre, looked at their website and Tripadviser comments. We booked a table for four for Thursday 18th April; our last night of a four night trip and were really looking forward to... More

For a truly special meal and stay! Garlands is the best! In the summer it is great because you can enjoy the grounds, completely surrounded by the greens and canyons!

This is a great place to eat. A bit hard to find (got lost). But, once we were there, it was absolutely delicious. Every course was perfection. Plus, they made a special menu acknowledge a birthday in our party. Wonderful people. Very accomodating. We'll definitely be back.

With our friends, we enjoyed cocktail hour outside before being vcalled to dinner with a dinner bell. The location is very special in Sedona. Dinner is served in a beautiful lodge environment with excellent service. The full course dinner served that evening was very good. It was a special dinner and dining experience in a special place.

Garlands is set in the forest, their staff has been with them forever and even grows its own organic vegetables. It's reminiscent of rustic Northeastern lodges. A wonderful place to dine and to stay - although it's probably hard to get a room since so many folks come back year after year.

Garlands is a gem tucked away along Oak Creek. You drive across the creek (literally) to enter. It is a very magical setting and a dining experience you will treasure. Garlands accepts only a few outside dinner reservations each evening to dine along with their guests. We were one of the lucky few on our recent trip to Sedona. You... More

My wife and I once again made our pilgrimage to Garlands for dinner. The food, again, was delectable, and it is such an unusual experience to be seated with other people , who start out as strangers, but we part as friends! It is unusual: fixed menu, seated with others for the meal, small, rustic dining room..... and utterly delightful!... More

The lodge is set in a beautiful area in Oak Creek Canyon. There are several activities on the grounds. They serve wonderful breakfasts and a 6 course dinner with your stay.
