Absolutely amazing! We sat outside in late November on their covered patio. Blankets were provided and heaters… It was such a cozy experience. We had one of the specials that evening;the bison with goat cheese, and grilled pears. One of my favorite meals ever!

Absolutely fantastic experience! The Thanksgiving food menu was delicious and full of flavor! The service was friendly, and the environment was warm and welcoming. The staff were incredibly helpful and made us feel right at home. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and great hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Very good food. I am often disappointed with the lack of vegetarian options and/or options that are an afterthought. Desert Bistro has clearly made an effort to create delicious vegetarian dishes. Our server Conor was attentive and friendly.

Stuffy dining room, could use some dividers. Room should be broken up. Entrees are very expensive, but quality and presentation was excellent. Ted the host was very pleasant. Glad we tried it, but likely will not return.

We had a great experience here. Very good and thorough service. The cocktails were just fine, but they had a well thought out wine menu with suggested pairing from the server.

If you’re in Moab, you must go here. Their food is amazing. I especially loved their appetizers: the bacon-wrapped figs, bison empanadas, and pumpkin ravioli were excellent.

Whenever we travel, we always try to dine st the brst option in the area. After some research, Desert Bistro seemed to be the best option for a grest meal , and we hit the jackpot The sushi grade tuna was delicate and a served with a delicious sauce The Bison filet was so tender and cooked to perfection. The service was attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

Desert Bistro is a gem. Excellent food and service. We had a party of 5 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our experience. We appreciated Dailey’ enthusiasm for the food, service and recommendations too! The Bistro is a wonderful addition to any trip to Moab. This is a solid 5-star restaurant.
I was surprised at what the cost of 6 baby slices of bison,15 pieces of asparagus, and 11 small potatoes. $69 Besides the cost, it was fine. I live in Connecticut and eat at Max Mia all the time, and what a difference in cost.

Extremely Disappointed — Especially on such an important night.
We came to this restaurant on what was supposed to be a really special evening — the dinner before a sunset proposal. Unfortunately, the experience was anything but memorable in a good way.
Despite reaching out in advance via email to share the significance of the evening and our time-sensitive plans, we never received a response. We also tried calling multiple times and could never get anyone to answer the phone.
Once there, things didn’t improve. Service was painfully slow and unorganized — we saw other tables (who arrived after us) get their food well before we did, even though we placed our order earlier. It felt like we were being completely overlooked.
We had a very clear timeline we needed to follow, and instead of working with us, it felt like the staff dragged their feet. This lack of communication and efficiency really tainted what should have been a beautiful evening.
Unfortunately, we won’t be returning — and we certainly won’t be considering this restaurant for any part of our wedding events or recommending it to others visiting Moab. It’s a shame, because it could have been a part of such a meaningful memory.

Our group took the back room for a wedding celebration, and everything was perfect! The staff handled the large group incredibly well, the food is amazing. If you visit Moab and miss this one, you're making a big mistake.

We ate here two nights ago and it was one of the best meals we've had in a while. We shared the Toasted Cauliflower & Belgian Endive for an appetizer, my partner then had the special (Sea Bass) and I had the Duck Confit. Our server, Dailey, really took care of us. We'll definitely go back next time we're in Moab
