Fireside Dining at Empire Canyon Lodge

Fireside Dining at Empire Canyon Lodge

Empire Canyon Lodge in upper Deer Valley offers a signature dining experience called "Fireside Dining."

There are five large fireplaces in the lodge.  At each fireplace they cook and serve foods that will make you think you are in the European Alps!

Food at one fireplace includes raclette cheese with steamed new potatoes, pearl onions, cornichons, cured Italian and Swiss meats, and freshly baked veggies.  At another fireplace there is stew and fricasses along with fresh salads.  You will find fire roasted meats brushed with herbs and seasonings at another fireplace. And, finally, there is a fondue desert fireplace.  Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

Fireside Dining is highly popular, so make your reservations in advance.

Fireside Dining happens 6 pm to 9 pm Wednesday through Saturday.  You can call 435-645-6632 for reservations.

Mariposa Restaurant in Silver Lake at Upper Deer Valley

Mariposa Restaurant at Silver Lake Village in Upper Deer Valley

One of my favorite sayings when it comes to dining is that "the best places are always the worst."

Many times you will go to a fine dining restaurant and be served a signature entree that can fit into a thimble or has some exotic sauce/garnish that would choke a horse.

Mariposa Restaurant is the exception.

Excellent food, perfect service, great ambiance, good wine are probably why Mariposa is rate #1 in the Zagat Restaurant Guide!

It is open 5:45 pm to 9:00 pm Tuesday through Sunday - call (435) 645-6715 to reserve.
