This is an extremely high-end steak place. The ribeye --without potato or any sides -- cost $85! (the menu just says "market price) so you don't know the cost until you sit down. The steak was good but definitely not worth the price. The rack of lamb also cost $85 and it was seriously over-salted. The only dish that was worth the price was the burrata appetizer

Friendly host. Really nice and cozy atmosphere.

We ordered calamari as appetizer and were surprised when our main course arrived before. When asked the waiter, he acted like we never ordered it.
I paid $38 dollars for a fish that had no flavor whatsoever and the potatoes were undercooked.
We were a party of 3 people and the waiter added 20% gratuity to our checks. I understand this is a practice with big parties, we were 3!!
The man who forgot my appetizer judged our party, deemed us people who dont know how to tip and decided that I was obligated to pay him 20%.

We came with some friends to visit Zion and decided to eat here on our last night. Thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Steak was cooked to perfection and fish was delicious!! The asparagus was my favorite size, I know weird to talk about size, but YES!!! The cheese cake was enormous and delicious! So, yes, expensive, but totally worth it for a special night!

Bummer we came here on Valentine’s Day. We made a reservation at 5pm and were one of the first there. We were seated in a two seater so had to sit across from each other. I asked if there was a table we could sit next to each other and the manager said no because they were booked. We proceeded to see 5 other couples seated later in the exact places that would have accomodated what we wanted. We began with the thick bacon appetizer. It was seriously all fat. The sea bass was good but my boyfriends steak was awful. Not seasoned, tough and $68. You had to pay extra for the sides. A $12 uninspiring baked potato and another side $12 bland mushrooms. Wouldn’t you put the mushrooms on the steak? The service was good, the martinis and wine were good but we felt a bit sick paying that much for such low quality food. We would gladly pay and have for high quality but if you have any other choice, skip this restaurant. Go to Dulivia. That place is amazing and a good value.

There were limited menu choices and all entrees were at least $29. When one lists the prices ranges, it should reflect the meal and not bread starters which were even skimpy based on the price. We didn't let one of our kids order a steak because it was over $50. Almost everyone ended up ordering $29 spaghetti and bison meatballs (meh) or meat loaf (overgenerous portion). It was a bit crazy and everyone in our large party laughed about it in the end.
