Shift Kitchen & Bar

The bartender’s punch was a milk-wash punch, which balanced sweetness and bitterness to produce the most nuanced and rewarding aperitif I’ve ever had. Would go here every day just to order the bartender’s punch. Legendary.

Had an amazing time with my girlfriend here! We had our dinner in the back dining room, which had an excellent atmosphere, but if possible try sitting up at the bar to watch the chefs make the delicious food in front of you. We started with the duck taquitos, so much flavor and the plating was wonderfully put together! We then ordered the steak which was perfectly cooked to my liking (not so much my girlfriend’s lol), so we ordered the wine burger as well! The wine burger was definitely one of the best burgers I had in a long time, certainly a highlight of the menu! As for the service, our waiter (who I unfortunately forgot the name of, but he’s in his 20s like me) was incredible for always making sure our food and experience was the best it could be! Will definitely come back the next time we come out to Flagstaff, cheers!

fish was not that great! Too much experimenting

We skipped the chef’s tasting menu and instead ordered the duck taquitos and the line-caught California halibut. The duck taquitos were a success—the sweet and spicy sauce complemented the dish beautifully and felt well thought out.

Unfortunately, the halibut was a major letdown. The dish combined mint leaves and pomegranate (Middle Eastern elements) with bok choy and a soy glaze (Asian influences), resulting in a confused plate with no clear identity. Rather than feeling innovative, the fusion felt forced, with ingredients that didn’t naturally complement one another, leaving little sense of cohesion or surprise. To make matters worse, the halibut itself—already a delicate fish—was slightly overcooked, which further diminished the dish.

Excellent Customer Service. Food is sooooo good! We ordered 2 Tequila Sunrises and they were made perfectly, for food we ordered the Wine Burger and the Jidori Chicken both fresh and delicious! First time here and will definitely be back. The atmosphere is nice and friendly. The restaurant is clean and neat. Although food made fresh when ordered, it came out in no time. Highly recommend.

Best restaurant in Arizona

Expected more from seeing other reviews. Our server was not good; she kept forgetting literally everything we asked or ordered. It wasn't a great experience

Truly exceptional. Food was inventive and delicious and cocktails are perfect.

Pizza wasn't cut all the way through and wasn't hot so they remade it. We weren't given side plates for our appetizers and they forgot to bring us water. The tiramisu had no sweetness whatsoever. lots of quality control issues.

First time trying this place. Hands down best pizza. I'm so glad I stopped in to try it out. I got the Shrimp Fra Diavalo (Spicy). Loved it. Also got a house made strawberry Italian soda. For dessert I got the Crème Brulee cheesecake.

As soon as we walked in the door I knew from the delicious smell that we had made a good choice. The food was delicious

Shift kitchen was my favorite restaurant experience I’ve ever had. I was in flagstaff celebrating my 30th birthday with loved ones and going to Shift was perfect. We chose to do the tasting menu and each of us finished every plate that came our way. Highlights include the duck mole taquitos, the mezzo course of grapefruit sorbet with goat cheese and olive oil, and the incredible elote southwest salad to open the night. The drinks were boozy, tasty, and beautiful. Everything about the experience was excellent. I gush about it to everyone who asks what I’ve been up to. Thank you so much!
