Apps were average, salad was drenched with dressing and limp. Entrees were a major disappointment. One of my mixed drinks was seltzer only. Over $100 pp. and walked out terribly unsatisfied and hungry.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time! The food was amazing, the staff was incredible and I left feeling happy and full. The prices are high but worth every penny! Reservations are pretty much required but I would recommend this place to everyone.

Good is amazing. I ordered the chicken breast. The loganberry jam on the side was so good. Will be a repeat visitor here. But do book in advance. Deserts lived up to their names.

We had an amazing lovely dinner. The tuna appetizer was delicate and beautiful flavors. Seabass w ginger carrot puree was balanced and light summery. Fresh and light. The smoked chicken on chipotle Cesar was yummy too. Make your reservation now! Zach was helpful and engaging.

This is the place for fine dining in Moab. Even the locals will tell you that all the food here is not bad, but not great, except for Desert Bistro! There were 5 in my party who each ordered a different dish including both of the daily specials. Everyone absolutely loved their food! I recommend going here. They have some creative dishes and the presentation and service are impressive. There is some outdoor seating. Do yourself a favor and visit Desert Bistro.

Best meal we had in Moab. Most expensive meal we had in Moab as well, but I guess you definitely get what you pay for! Our server was incredible and very knowledgeable. Best wine list in the city. The ravioli appetizer was delicious. Excellent main course specials. This place is only me two black walk from the Hilton Curio Hoodoo Moab, which was definitely a plus. Worth the money if you are traveling to Moab for a special reason like we were for our 20th wedding anniversary!

Ugh oh my god those scallops. From San Diego and these scallops were very good for Utah. Love a good sit down restraunt as much as the next, but with a town full of brew pubs, this is very very good. I got the chicken breast and then my companion has the stuffed pepper. And I ate almost every bite.

Best meal I’ve had in Moab by far. It has a cute indoor dining area but I loved the back patio. The meal started with delicious homemade bread served warm with rosemary butter and homemade olive tapenade. For my meal I ordered the southwestern Caesar salad and the fresh fish of the day. Pecan crusted barramundi with roasted carrots and a tomato leek lemon beurre blanc. To die for. Their cocktail menu was solid and their manhattan on point.

One of the few fine dining options in Moab. Reservations recommended - when we arrived (with one) the couple in front of us was told the wait was about three hours.
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal after a day of hiking. They brought fresh baked bread which we fell upon with enthusiasm. I started with the bison empanadas (tasty) and my daughter adored the scallops. I don’t remember my daughter’s main - I think it was a daily special. She cleaned her plate. I got the vegetarian stuffed pepper and really enjoyed it. I’m not vegetarian, but I was in the mood for a veg forward dish and this delivered. It was delicious. We had several glasses of nice wine as suggested by our server.
Our server was attentive and personable. We talked about hiking and he had some good suggestions for the next day.
Southwest decor - not modern or “hip” - but comfortable. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the nice space between the tables. We saw dates, groups, families, etc. They accommodate everyone.
Vegetarian options: Two nice vegetarian main courses: homemade pasta with mushrooms and stuffed poblano pepper. I got the pepper and it was complex and full of flavor with quinoa and lots of veg. Some veg apps too.

Crab cake appetizer was good. My beef filet was excellent, prepared to perfection. My husband's commented his elk steak wasn't as tasty. It was our 25th anniversary but no staff asked or acknowledged our celebrating with them. Facility and food presentation were lovely and staff very attentive, but it's a small dining area so not as quaint and quiet as we had hoped for.
