I highly recommend Shift if you want a nice dinner with a friendly atmosphere and sophisticated cuisine. This is a relatively new concept in Flagstaff featuring small dishes that are artfully prepared using high end ingredients.
We went to Shift on a Friday evening and were promptly seated at the bar in front of the kitchen. The chefs were incredibly nice and willing to answer our questions on how the dishes were prepared. We had the pretzel bites to start which were delicious. Then we had the octopus dish with beets and carrots, which I enjoyed very much. The last dinner dish we had was the short rib. It was excellently prepared and plated. We ended our dinner with the desert on special which was the pastry chef's take on PB and J. It was a raspberry sugar infused crème brûlée with a peanut butter meringue.
Overall I would recommend Shift. Their menu rotates frequently but I would suggest checking it out online first and looking at the pictures on Yelp to determine size before going.
This place is wonderful. The environment, the owners and especially the food . We tried the entire menu . The presentation and taste was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful meal. It has been a long time since I had such a good meal. I highly recommend this place!

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Arizona. The restaurant itself is quaint and very cozy. The staff is super nice and helpful, and the food was just amazing. Everything we tried was truly crafted to perfection and was very flavorful. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion or when visiting Flagstaff.
My FAVORITE place to dine whenever I come to Flagstaff: innovative, thoughtful, clever, impossibly cool.
What an unexpected treat this time to stumble on the monthly baked good sale. Finely European in style, delicious and toasty, never excessively sweet. Do you think we practiced reasonable restraint at this event? Heck no. Damn the gluten, full speed ahead.
I ordered an accompanying espresso. Ya gotta do that at this altitude. There’s something about an espresso here that’s so smooth and bold, forgoing the common bite of (at times) overbearing bitterness.
With luck, we’ll return for an actual meal, assuming we recover from this morning overload.
Unbelievable!
The pasta, the burger (forgot to take photo), the drinks (non-alcoholic)!!
INSPIRING.
This is, by far, one of THE BEST RESTAURANTS in Arizona, hands down!
The menu might look unusual, but I guarantee that you’ll be delighted with whatever you order.
Amazing. I was speechless, then I was inspired by the food and service to leave a review.
Truly a culinary experience of the highest pleasure.
Thank you SH/FT!
From Houston Texas, drove in from vacationing in Santa Fe... they accommodated my husband and I. The food was 5 star. We enjoyed every dish!! Had Crispy Brussels, Smash Yukon, Smoked Olives, Sorbet, Burger, Tagliatelle pasta, Pate & Sticky Toffee Apple. I recommend every one of these dishes. Staff was very friendly and nice.. They asked us to wait outside until table was ready- this made me feel like they are being extra Covid careful. Didn’t mind at all:)
Amazing Place!!! A Must Go if you like Amazing Food. The Dishes & flavor mix is truly
unique & out of this world.
Can’t wait to come back when I’m back in town.
Smashed Yukon potatoes, Burger, Pickle Fries, Smoked Olives, Sticky Apple Toffee are top notch
Pretty sure I ate it all wrong, but they have some fun dishes. Tried bone marrow, that was cool
Amazing Meal!
The ever-changing menu will have you coming back to see what the Fantastic Chef's are designing next.
Each dish is truly a culinary masterpiece. Have faith in the menu and just try whatever is on there!
I was a chef for years and I got schooled by this meal. Utter bliss!
The Pastry Chef even came out and talked to our table. Exceptional service!
