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.

We opened the restaurant at 11 am one morning and were ushered to a creekside window table highlighted with hummingbirds flitting around outside feeders 3 ft from our table. I ordered the lunch special, a seared tenderloin sandwich with a side of fresh tangy coleslaw. For dessert, my husband and I shared homemade custard buttermilk pie, a house specialty. Both were delish. Other patrons joined the lunch crowd; the owner and chef talking to customers and opening wines at the bar. Wished I was a local to come here often. Great place out in wine country outside Sedona.

Food was terrific. Filet barely needed a knife. The vegetables tasted like they were picked yesterday. Service was good and someone who worked there played the piano randomly it was perfect

Amazing food! Don’t skip the mushroom bruschetta. Great view overlooking the creek

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.

Great lunch! Amazing wine list for a rustic, rural eatery. Wonderful wines by the glass! Food was well prepared and tasty. Hummingbirds outside the window were an entertaining plus.

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.

This was such an unexpected find that we came across. So glad that we did! Food was exceptional and unique, service was above and beyond, and the historic building was such a neat thing to see. We will definitely be back in the future, even if it means driving out of our way to eat here!

A special location overlooking a creek. I enjoyed the chicken sandwich last time and tried a burger most recently. I do not know why, but getting a burger cooked as requested is difficult.

Quaint location, with a beautiful view of Oak Creek. Our service was slow and meals took a very long time to come out. The burgers were great. The grilled chicken was bland.

Been here many times for Lunch/Dinner! Mario and his team are state of the art service! Very recommended 👌
