Food was awesome, but pricy. Expected that for a canyon diner. But waitress was MIA most of the time here. Never refilled coffee or water, and couldn’t find anyone to get our check either. Not worth it in my opinion

Small menu with limited options. My partner was happy with the salmon and I had the chicken, which was just OK. Skillet cookie was delightful. Price is high and expected for a mountain resort hotel. Service was friendly.

It is a nice upscale restaurant at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon. The view looking up Collins Gulch and Albion Basin is spectacular. The food was wonderful and the service was attentive.

Lovely views of the mountain and delicious brunch. Servings are appropriately sized. Servers were delightful. Beautiful, welcoming atmosphere. Even for fine dining, I didn’t feel out of place in yoga pants in the morning.

This was the saddest Mothers Day brunch ever. The omelette was small and came with no side despite the $25 price tag. We were in and out in 20/30 minutes. They did nothing special for mothers. The food was not good. We won't be going back.

Way over-priced. I made a reservation for 6:30 but needed to change to 7. On OpenTable it showed 6:30 pm was it. We arrive on time to find the place was empty. The food was subpar (had the ahi appetizer [ok, but a bit fishier than traditional ahi tuna], the shishito peppers [could reduce the amount a light out pan fry or tempura...sauce is great], and the Caesar salad [best thing we had...loved the two anchovies on top]). Decided 8 oz $90 dollar filets (yes, per person) was a bit much...may have been willing to do a $45 4 oz filet. I know...the same, but not really...who eats 8 oz at one sitting??). For $90, maybe a waghu filet [not a waghu sirloin...ick. Or better yet, let's have a Bison Filet option!!). The place was totally empty and very sad. Beautiful place but could have been so much better!

All around great experience for breakfast and dinner, menu was creative and delicious. Flawlessly executed steak and interesting appetizers. Really a fine dining experience at Alta, wow.
Bridget
Excellent service, food presentation and taste was incredible. Can't beat the mountain side view!!!

Nice surroundings and very comfortable dinning room and ambiance is great with real lodge style. Food is mixed. I have the pork chop which is delicious and my friend has Halibut and Salmon which is mediocre and not very well cook that seafood is supposed to be. Drinks is very nice though. It is pricey restaurant
Opentable Diner
Great location and very cozy and nice ambience. The service was good and very solid bread/garlic confit included. Had the duck and was good but maybe not quite as great for the price being paid. Definitely spending a little extra for the ski resort location
Generally noisy especially on nights the bar has a live band playing. Food is good but way overpriced. $80 for an 8 oz filet a la carte is pushing it too far. Wine is marked up more than you'd expect. Very rules-based management. Would not substitute rye for bourbon in their old fashioned. Service was great. They get big tips...
El Aventurero
The Elk was perfectly prepared. The service by Alexandria was excellent. Overall a fantastic dining experience.

Another great experience at Swen’s. Alyssa is a professional and attentive server. We asked for a split plate and it was done graciously and beautifully by the kitchen. Drinks stayed full, plates were cleared promptly, food speed/timing was appropriate, and restaurant was very clean. Only small inconvenience was a slightly loud large group near us but that’s how it goes sometimes. Great job!

Our experience tonight was very underwhelming. The service felt indifferent, and the food was both bland and served at room temperature. We visited to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, which was only acknowledged, by us, at the end when we were paying, despite my husband noting it on our reservation. Overall, it was a disappointing experience for the price point.

Absolutely amazing dinner! This was a total surprise. Hidden gem up at Alta resort, with beautiful views. The food was five star, incredible. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. Elegant setting and great service.
