one of my new favorite restaurants in utah!. one of the best dining experiences we have had in a while (and we eat out much more than we should... just check out my profile).
we rode the chairlift and when we were done we had worked up an appetite... i don't know how since we just sat on the chairlift :-) we didn't have a reservation and we had a baby with us but they graciously seated us promptly and brought out water and delicious, fresh bread and butter.
we ordered the rotisserie pork based on several reviews. i can see why it gets rave reviews because it's the best pork i have ever eaten. the plating was beautiful, the asparagus was cooked to perfection, the pork was tender, the mashed potatoes were just right, and the cherries on top were literally a cherry on the top of a wonderful meal! i highly recommend it.
the summer vegetable linguini seemed like a good option but our server recommended a meat since it is a light meal. i chose the chicken and it tasted very good. i'm not going to say i didn't like the linguini because it was very good, but after tasting the pork it's hard to recommend anything else.
we finished off with the apple pie. it came with a ball of gelato (vanilla i believe?) and was pretty tasty. it is extremely sweet with the caramel drizzled on top so if you don't have a sweet tooth, you'll want to avoid this dessert.
the atmosphere was very enjoyable near the fire in the front. we could watch the chefs in the kitchen one way or admire the autumn leaves out the window the other way. in some ways it was romantic even though there were a few kids in the restaurant. in other ways it felt like grandma's house (albeit your rich grandma) because of the comfy cabin decor. the servers were friendly, quick, and knowledgeable.
i'm happy that we found another wonderful dining experience in utah even if it is up the canyon at sundance. that just makes it that much more enjoyable as you view thebeautifulscenery up and down the canyon!
