Incredible dining experience, better than the last time I was there 6 years ago. Joseph was our bartender and he was bubbly, funny, and delightful, also very attentive to our needs. The drinks were perfectly satiating and well crafted. The tofu in the squash was actually way more delicious than I anticipated, and the sauce was mouth watering. My boyfriend got the grilled shrimp with brown rice and verde chili sauce and he said the shrimp was grilled perfectly. The size of the shrimp was larger than he'd expected and it was the perfect amount of shrimp to fill him up. Thank you shout out to Joy who booked our reservation and kindly greeted us upon arrival and sat us down promptly. It was a beautiful table she chose us, a scenic view of Sedona in the distance through the window. A perfect ambience, date night was lovelier than we could have ever imagined.

Asylum Restaurant was chosen by our tour guide as our Jerome lunch stop and we really liked it! The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived on a Friday, and the interior was beautiful. It was located inside a hotel, which used to be a hospital and was rumored to be haunted. I loved the antique lighting fixtures and big gold-framed paintings on the walls. For drinks, I got the Lavender Grove Spritz, which was a little tart but tasty. For food, I ordered the Spicy Chicken Tenderloin Salad. This was so good for lunch - the perfect mix of healthy veggies and crispy buffalo chicken tenderloins. My friends loved their food as well including the Caesar Salad with Shrimp, Salmon Salad, Roasted Turkey Breast Sandwich, Flank Steak Sandwich, and French Fries. There was a bit of a mixup with chicken being left off one of the salads, but our server offered a complimentary dessert to compensate. I shared the Asylum Creme Brulee' for dessert with a friend, and it was amazing! The soft texture of the vanilla bean custard was perfect with crunchy caramelized sugar on top. Service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a great choice for lunch!

Stumbled upon this place trying to look for a bar since I wanted to bar hop for my birthday. The walk leading up to the hotel is a bit steep, but doable. Loved the ambiance of the place. We were seated right away, not busy at all unlike the main restaurants in the town. We didn't order any food, but the drinks we got were delicious. I took a star off because I bartender didn't seem that friendly nor personable. It was just meh. So the vibe wasn't there. Other than that, super cool creepy place.

We were walking around Jerome and needed some lunch. We headed up to the hotel high up on the hill just to check it out. The host came out to talk to us, she was not pushy at all. She was offering us the option to come in and look around at the fabulous old Timey bar and lobby area. Her name was Joy, and her kindness helped us decide to eat lunch there and boy are we glad we did! The prices were reasonable, and we got great service from Alex! Just based on the service from these two folks make us want to return the next time we are in the area, not to mention the great food! Kudos to the Chef

A great place to stop in Jerome for a drink and to take in the view! They make a surprisingly incredible Bloody Mary with all the fixings! The service here was so friendly and fun. Ask them about all the random shenanigans that the hotel encounters!

We loved grabbing a quick afternoon bite here. The menu was creative with fun named drinks and the food was delicious. The tables all had paper on them and crayons to keep you busy while you waited for your food. Our waiter was friendly and told us stories of the Asylum. Great place to stop in. Also, you can drive up to the restaurant if you don't want to walk up the hill, the walk is manageable.

I thought the food was excellent....well the main courses were great. Bravo for a well executed duck dish. The appetizers were pretty meh. Service was nice but at the end our staff helper left crying...for what reason I have no Idea...it was not our party. Cool ambiance and probably the best place to dine in Jeroms. Bar was mediocre and the drinks watered down.

If you're not familiar, the Asylum Restaurant is located inside the Jerome Grand Hotel, which used to be the United Verde Hospital and is said to be haunted. While dining with friends in Jerome, we decided to stop by for a drink and see if we could sense any eerie vibes. Upon our arrival, we ascended the grand staircase and were seated inside, where Mateo served us. We asked about the restaurant's history as a hospital, and Mateo let us know the dining area we were seated in had once been the doctors' offices. We asked if he had any ghost stories, and he shared a few intriguing tales. We ordered drinks and just soaked up the atmosphere, with the stunning views and spooky ambiance. We'll definitely consider returning for dinner and possibly staying overnight at the hotel, as we've heard that's where most of the spooky stuff occurs.

We chose Asylum at the Jerome Grand Hotel over the Haunted Burger mostly because they were not busy whereas Haunted had about a 2 hour wait for lunch. When we arrived, we realized that Asylum is a significantly more upscale dining establishment. This worked out nicely. We were seated immediately. Service was prompt, professional and friendly. I had a Bacon Lettuce Tomato Avocado Cheese sandwich on ciabatta which was fantastic and paired with fries that were OK. I should have asked them to redo the fries but, alas, I didn't. The great sandwich made it worth it for me. My grandson liked his salad and and his craft black cherry soda. My wife liked her artichoke. The view from the dining room down the Jerome hillside is breathtaking. Next time we visit Jerome with our grandson, we'll probably stay in the Jerome Grand Hotel as he loves the haunted legacy of it all.
