Sedona is a desert town known for its red-rock buttes and steep canyon walls. I went to visit with my friend Kaitlynn, and we grabbed lunch at The Hudson while there.



"Perched on a hillside overlooking the scenic red rocks of Sedona, The Hudson serves lunch and dinner daily featuring seasonal American fare with unique twists on trusted comfort food. We pride ourselves on our bruschetta, burgers, salads, hand cut 45 day aged prime steaks, ribs, fresh seafood, homemade desserts, specialty cocktails, wine and local craft beer," reads the website.



The bruschetta is what really caught my eye here. there are several different types, and you can arrange a flight. I actually ended up trying five different ones.



Goat cheese, with sweet and spicy pepper jam - I loved the combo here of both flavors and textures.



Brie, apples, and fig jam - this was almost like a dessert bruschetta, and it was delicious.



House-smoked salmon with pesto cream cheese, caper and red onion - while I do love this flavor combo typically, it was not my favorite rendition here. I think the salmon for me was just a bit off.



Funghi with mushroom, roasted garlic, ricotta, cheese, thyme and chive - this was an umami bomb in the best way.



Warm artichoke spread with roasted garlic and romano cheese - this one didn't have quite as much flavor compared to some of the others, but even though it was mild, it was still good.

Deconstructed Banana Cream Pie - Graham cracker crust, bananas, sugared pecans, whipped cream, strawberry - this dessert was next level delicious.
