The Hudson is a New American restaurant and bar in the Hillside Sedona shopping complex at 671 AZ-179, along the gallery-lined corridor south of Uptown. Locals and visitors come for polished comfort food, well-made cocktails, and a hillside patio that faces Sedona’s red rock formations, which makes it a reliable choice for date nights and celebratory dinners.
The dining room is contemporary and relaxed, with a full bar at its center. The real draw is the outdoor terrace, where tables look toward the rock formations across the Highway 179 valley. The menu leans toward elevated American classics, such as steaks, seafood, burgers, and seasonal salads, at prices that sit between casual and fine dining. The cocktail list favors bright, spirit-forward drinks. A glass of wine at sunset on the patio is the experience most guests recommend. The restaurant holds a 4.6 rating, and service and consistency are frequent points of praise.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Reserve ahead, especially from March through May and in October, when Sedona’s peak seasons fill dining rooms. If you want a patio table at sunset, request one when you book and plan to arrive about 45 minutes before the sun drops behind the rocks. Weekday lunches and early dinners are calmer. Hillside Sedona has on-site parking, but Highway 179 traffic can back up near the Tlaquepaque roundabouts on weekends, so allow extra time. Hours change seasonally, so confirm them directly with the restaurant before you go.
