Sedona

I had read online at movementlv dot com about a Blue Jeans & Blazers event to give Jeans to under privileged kids of Las Vegas. I came with a new pair of jeans to donate, but I could not get in due to the poorly executed event. I waited in line for an hour and left. There was no security, or management of the line and people were cutting like at an amusement park. The people coming out of the small venue said it was hot and there were long lines to get drinks and to get into the bathrooms as well. Parking is limited and there is no security for the alternate parking lots in nearby businesses. I have been to the Sedona Restaurant and Lounge before and it was very nice, just don?t go when The Movement is putting on an event, until they get there act together.

Cons: Poorly executed event by The Movement

This is one of my favorite restaurants for a special occasion dinner or a nice happy hour with friends. When you first walk in, you are surrounded by some of the most beautiful decor and architecture I've seen in an off-the-strip restaurant. The food is so amazing as well. The chef does an outstanding job of taking typical dishes and adding his flair to make them unique and so yummy. The wine list is supurb as well, and they have a lot of specials throughout the week, sush as half price bottles of wine, happy hour, etc... I highly recommend this restaurant!

Pros: Amazing food, great wine, beautiful atmosphere

Cons: None!

Great Atmosphere Awesome Food and the best wine selections in town. Received excellent customer service the staff was friendly and courteous. I highly recommened Sedona for great dinning experience.

I am literally addicted to the steak gyro--it's not on a pita and doesn't contain lamb like you might get at a Mediterranean restaurant (this is Sedona people, not Paymons). The soft flatbread that they use is incomparable and the perfectly seasoned steak is to die for. I have to eat at Sedona at least once a week (yes, I admit I have been there twice in as many days -- different outfit/hair/make-up you get the picture.) Fortunately, my husband holds a similar affinity for the chicken panini. The bread on the panini is out of this world as is the mozzarella which melts out of the sides. Now I have also had the pleasure of enjoying a great glass of wine with a bowl of guarantee-you-it's-not-Campbell's tomato soup & fondue. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. As for the service, they are always attentive and parking has never been a problem for us. I love Sedona, I'm writing this because I hope you try it and enjoy it as much as we do!

Pros: Food

Cons: I'm at a loss

I used to really like going to this place but I have had nothing but issues there lately. I am shocked at the constent turnover of management. I feel like there's always someone new managing the place which might be a reason for their slow and very poor service. There is a good wine selection, but you can't get any help to order it. The food is ok. It used to be better. The manager said they no longer have an executive chef so that might be why. I would recommend Vitner Grill.

Pros: Nice decor

Cons: Would rather have good service and good food than good wall decorations.

Sedona is great, it offers the upscale feel and decor of some of the nicest restaurant and lounges that are on the strip but offers a more relaxed and fun atmoshpere. The staff is amazing, they really cater to you and the food is even better. The menu is a bit small, but everything is delicious. This is a great place for a first date, a girls night or after work drinks!

Loved the potstickers real good ,the tuna was outstanding, drinks good, service ok good place to hang out with friends

Pros: food good

Cons: long wait for drinks

Don't be intimidated by Sedona's contemporary architecture and upscale design! The restaurant/lounge/gaming is a beautiful place where you can get amazing food but my favorite part is that after just a few times playing video poker at the bar, the bartender, Ryan knew me by name! Great gaming specials, great drinks, and in my opinion the best rueben in town! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, especially the cheese fondue. There is a great wine selection and the staff will help you pair any meal with a great wine.

One of my other favorite aspects of the venue is their Image Wednesday and LAB Saturday events. Sedona has hired a DJ for these nights and the restaurant becomes a pretty amazing ultra lounge. I haven't found this in any other place on the West Side.

Check this place out at any hour...you'll love it!

Pros: Amazing food and beautiful atmosphere

Cons: You might want to valet on Wed and Sat

We drove out Flamingo to the 215 beltway where we had Open Table reservations at this very contemporary restaurant. Much of the bar area was taken up by a good sized wedding party and the noise level on this Sunday evening was very high. I chose the fresh Alaskan halibut with chorizo, new potato, zucchini and clams finished in a saffron beurre blanc. My wife ordered the pepper crusted Ahi tuna, served with Provencal vegetable relish, roasted eggplant whipped potatoes and lemon oil. Both entrees were delicious, but her's won this evening?s award for best entree.

Pros: Excellent food, active bar

Cons: Very noisy

the food was excellent but pricey. the staff was extremely friendly and helpful with not only menu choices but drinks as well. the only down side to this place was that it was quite expensive and it had a small menu with not much to choose from. and we waited a very long time to get our order taken and then had to wait another 30 minutes for the food to cook. the check was finally brought out after another 15 minutes of waiting after the table had been cleared. if the service was a bit more speedy i'd give it 5 stars

Pros: great food and staff

Cons: long wait to be seated and served

Sedona, recently reopened after a four month hiatus for remodeling. The new look is very LA-West Hollywood. The bar crowd will be thrilled to see mirror and lit crystals over the bar, more high-tops and a large dining area on your left as you enter, which seconds as a lounge later in the evening. The back of the restaurant and private dining room on the right offer a respite from the over twenty-five, after work scene.
The menu has expanded to include some new items from Executive Chef Michael, who brings a upscale presentation to the off-strip location. My guest and I were greeted to enthusiastic service and inqueries about our opinion of the new interior. The new white leather chairs and red sheers covering the mirrors are very swank, but I had to ask the manager to turn down the music in the private room. Our appetizer of Tuna "chips"; thin slices of Ahi layered on a bed of greens, onion shavings and a crisp cracker was devine. The "Chopped Veggie Salad, was a molded stack of corn with a few tomato flakes topped with bacon and huge avacado slices. Pretty, but missed the "veggies" part of the salad equation.
Main course selections included seared ahi assembled on a thin spread of sauted spinich resting on a cloud of mashed potato (delish). The Ahi was a tad dry, especially after the sashimi quality of the appetizer. The roasted duck with Bok Choy tempura and hoisin noodles offered a perfect balance of spicy and crisp with the moist tenderness of the duck. The portions are generous without overkill, but in perspective to the new menu prices, a reasonable value for the product, service and presentation. For dessert we opted for the cheese platter,. This one offered a selection of four cheeses, accompanied by a mushy fruit compote and apple sticks.

Pros: Upscale dining in residential area

Cons: upscale pricing resembling the Strip

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Las Vegas. It is not your typical bar/restaurant in Vegas and while it may not be for everyone, we certainly have enjoyed ourselves here everytime. We discovered one of our preferred wines here, Benton Lane's Pinot Noir. Each time we have been here we have received excellent service in a pleasant atmospere. We almost always have the Fondue for an appetizer and it never fails to please. If you are looking for a restaurant that is not a cookie cutter chain restaurant or located on the hectic strip, this place is certainly worth giving a try.

Pros: Ambience, Located away from the Strip, Parking, Service

Cons: Slightly Pricey

While the food is not quite portionate for the price, is is rather creative and quite tasty. Don't come here hungry! The atmosphere is to die for and it can make for a exquisite evening. This is a great place to unwind when you've grown weary of the Strip and other jam-packed venues. Plus the atmosphere is on the same level if not better than some of the more popular places. A definite see-for-yourself place. I highly recommend you at least visit. It's well worth it!! Sit outside by the fire.

Pros: Not crowded, Ample parking, Great atmosphere

Cons: Far from hotels/Strip

The food quality is now on the level of a bad cafeteria. The crab cakes are tiny, greasy and flavorless. The appetizers and desserts USED TO BE superb. Now they're awful. We took two couples there recently and spent the evening apologizing for the poor quality of food. Our waiter advised that the former chef had moved to another restaurant under the same ownership. They should bring him/her back to teach the new chef how to cook.

Pros: No crowd, Easy parking, No waiting

Cons: , Indifferent entrees, Ordinary desserts
