Corporate Description
Dahl Restaurants began operations nearly twenty-seven years ago with one restaurant and the most straightforward notion – “When you cook with love, you feed the soul.” DRG has evolved to six restaurants in Sedona. Each one is unique, and all are next-level dining experiences.
Owner and executive chef Lisa Dahl has weathered many storms, yet it is Lisa’s abiding respect for the guests and their experience that endures. That cultural aspect is pervasive. The interplay of outstanding cuisine, service, architecture, art, and mother nature is unmistakable.
Savvy locals and travelers alike take the Dahl restaurants tour because the reputation for cuisine and services is well known. Lisa’s vision continues to be the premier culinary group where team members feel inspired, safe, and fulfilled while, as a company, manifests genuine hospitality measured by the highest standards of food, beverage, and services profitably and sustainably in a scalable fashion while serving and giving back to our communities.

- Faith, Eastern philosophy, meditation, and mainstream religion
