“Unexpected Pleasure!”

"We're from the San Francisco Bay Area so we have great opportunity to experience fantastic restaurants. This meal was as good as any we can find near our home. The chef clearly loves to turn out fantastic food. The service was terrific (thanks Cody). One of the treats of our vacation."

“Unexpected Perfection!”

"My favourite restaurant of the whole three week trip! Surprisingly upscale restaurant both in terms of the elegant dining room and sophisticated menu. A particular highlight was the quartet of creme brulees which included violet and red bell pepper; this was typical of the adventurousness of the menu. Our waiter was superb... experience a little bit of gastronomic heaven at a down-to-earth price!

"Best Food Experience of Our Southwest US Trip"

"The level of achievement easily matched the quality of star michelin restaurants in Europe, and changed our hitherto pessimistic view on food quality in the US. We safely can rank this as the best food experience of our entire trip.

“Such an Unexpected Find!”

"The food, the wines, the service and the glorious photographs of Zion were so outstanding that we wanted to tell Jeff Crosland, the Chef/Owner, how delighted we were to have found such an unexpectedly perfect little gem of a restaurant in that beautiful part of our country."

“What a Treat!

We came back all 5 nights we were in the area!”

"For those of you who love traveling and searching out the natural wonders that are to be found in the great American outdoors, we have some news. If you also enjoy seeking great dining opportunities at the end of the day, may we heartily recommend one of the true dining treasures in the West outside of Zion National Park, in Springdale, Utah.

The ambience and atmosphere is up-scale and the owner-chef, “Chef Jeff” Crosland has assembled an excellent menu. We came back each of the 5 nights we were in the area, had a different selection each night, and were never disappointed. The menu offers selections you find in top level restaurants.

In addition, the Croslands have assembled a staff that is just delightful. Friendly, out-going, and on top of the evening, the entire staff combines to make any meal an event. We eat there any time we get close to Zion. This great restaurant will enhance any trip, adding its own memories to your time in the area.

Don’t forget that they serve a wonderful breakfast as well, albeit the days may be a little limited. If you can, drop in for a great experience."
