I have been to Shift at least 3 times in the past year, and am planning a fourth visit! Food is always well prepared and innovative! The staff members are knowledgeable, and the service is quick and attentive! My wife and I celebrated our anniversary, the staff provided a signed a card, champagne, and the chef greeted us as well! Highly recommend!

So much fun to eat here at Shift. The shareable menu options allow everyone to try something and it's a culinary adventure with fresh and local food. We started with the duck taquitos(3) which were very tasty and the heirloom carrots which out of this world! Dinner was Jidori Chicken thighs, the Cuban Flatiron steak and the Pork Chop all cooked to order and flavored to perfection. Dessert was three Carajillos, refreshing. We be back soon!! Oh almost forgot about our server, she was great!! She offered us an intermezzo before the main course, a Cilantro Sorbet that was out of this world!!

This is the kind of place you'd expect to find on the Michelin's list - exceptional creativity rooted in the local cultural and land heritage, delivered with understated elegance in an intimate, cozy and friendly environment. Chef Dion had managed to elevate cabbage, the most unremarkable of comfort foods, to a level of gastronomy I didn't think possible. Imagine what kind of treat was everything else. Definitely start with the savory sorbet and remember to try the specialty cocktails. Danny, the GM was a delight to meet as well! Can't wait to be back on my next trip to Flagstaff (hopefully sooner than another 10y apart).

There is no better place for dinner. And we went again on Friday 9/25 and they freshened up the look on the inside to make it better. Our experience at Shift is always great. Good enough to drive up from Phoenix just for dinner, which we have done many times. Good enough to decide last minute to go to dinner there two nights in a row, which we haven’t but sure will soon. It may be the most consistent, high quality restaurant in all of Arizona.

The best restaurant experience in Flagstaff is at a bar seat at Shift. The vibe is off the charts, so cozy and welcoming. The staff is so friendly, not too much but makes sure every need is met. It’s a special treat if you get Jenna as your server, she’s an absolute rockstar! And the food …ohhhh the food! Every bite is scrumptious! Their Furious Styles cocktail is off the menu now but they can still make it. It tastes like someone put out a cigarette in a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle in the best possible way! Highly recommend this special place.

Shift has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants and for good reason. The food is consistently fresh, creative, and delicious —the hardest part is deciding what to order because everything sounds incredible. The staff truly makes the experience even better. Everyone is welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to chat with. We especially love sitting at the bar, watching the team work their magic and enjoying the whole experience. Shift is an absolute MUST anytime you’re in Flagstaff. We already can’t wait to come back!

Earth Shattering Pie! I have never been left speechless after the first bite but tonight I was. The flavors kept coming and getting more rich and delicious. The whole meal was amazing and the service was great. The Pie, Transcendent. I will never be the same.
