Tinderbox Kitchen

Downtown Flagstaff's address for modern American dining, pairing inventive seasonal plates with an extensive wine list in a dark, intimate room.

Tinderbox Kitchen brings modern American cooking to the heart of downtown Flagstaff. Executive Chef Michael Schmitz's menus evolve through the year, building on American classics with influences from around the world, and the team of sommeliers pairs them from a list of more than a hundred wines. The dining room is low-lit and intimate, with dark wood and warm lighting, and the house style is relaxed: polished cooking and attentive service without formality. It is a natural choice for a memorable dinner after a day at the Grand Canyon or before an evening of stargazing at Lowell Observatory.
