We had been in Sedona many times before, and even around Tlaquepaque. This time, we decided to try a restaurant there for dinner. Either our expectations were very high, the meal was really bad, or both.

We walked into the Oak Creek Brewery and Grill and it looked like we were going to have a wonderful experience. The booths were shaped in half circles and very comfortable to sit in. Our initial appetizers were great, and we'd hoped for more of the same. Unfortunately, this all changed when the main courses arrived.

The ribs appeared boiled and then drenched in barbecue sauce as if to try and hide the cooking method. The rice and broccoli were seasoned in such a way as to repel human ingestion. It went so far as us having to have some of the food replaced. And with the overinflated prices we had hoped for something better. However, it seems the pricing is based on their one almost-redeeming factor -- Location, location, location.

If we go back, it'll be to sit, relax, and have drinks; but not to have a meal.

Oak Creek Brewery and Grill is located the Tlaquepaque Village in Sedona.
