Skied in for lunch and we four gals were all excited about splurging on a great meal. But, we ended up disappointed. Everyone felt that their choice of food was very meh.. Two had the Caesar salad with salmon. Very small cut of salmon. Caesar salad was without much flavor and came without the anchovies. When I asked about the anchovies, they said we have none. For $36 you get a bowl of lettuce without much flavor, a few peels of cheese and yes, a small piece of salmon. Very small. Well We live here and learned our lesson.

I had a phenomenal Caesar salad with salmon on top and some Parmesan truffle fries on the side. Then for dessert, some of the best hot coco I have ever tasted!

We booked a reservation at Apex. We arrived early but were told there was no seating available except for the bar. We decided to wait for our reservation at the restaurant and yet we were still seated at the bar. It was very strange the restaurant was not even to capacity. Our waiter was the bartender. The food was good but this was not the experience we were expecting. We will not be back.

They have completely changed the menu without updating the website. If the real menu was listed I would not have booked here. It is a lunch buffet with minimal options on al a cart. Basic items like burgers and sandwiches which is unexpected for a higher caliber restaurant, especially when the menu listed on the website shows more high end dishes. Very disappointing when expecting a higher end experience.

Overall I give it a 3/5 . Service very slow being there were only 3 tables total . You could also tell many had minimum training. I ordered a French mart with Chambord and kettle One , pineapple juice . It was much too sweet to drink so that was a bust . Server when on and on about liquor pours in state of Utah and that's why it wasn't to my liking . What ? I am well aware of laws in Utah.I thought that was odd especially since I had one at The St Regis night before and it was made perfectly by the bartender . At the Apex , the server should have just apologized that it wasn't to my liking and offered something else, simple as that . Instead I Had to sit and listen to her explanation .I ordered a kettle one and club after that ordeal. What lored us to Apex initially was Grilled octopus on Open Table menu. The Menu should be updated on Open Table. The APEX did not have it . The filet was delicious except I ordered an Au pouirve Sauce on side which is a brandy cream sauce reduction . A sweet dark brown sauce came instead . We won't return. We will Prob just stick to St Regis from now on while in town . They had the Best Cocktails, Service. Ambiance and food at Deer Valley on our trip.

Video of the skier's buffer 1/3/2024: steak today and the chicken is different than the other day. Risotto and the vegetables are different also. Took a closer look at the kids options and dessert today. Service here is great and it's a nice warm ambiance. Mid-Mountain Wagyu Nachos are $45 but it's the best thing on the menu other than the Skier's Buffet: local wagyu skirt steak, black beans, tomatoes, olives, gold creek farms cheddar, guacamole, sour cream cheese sauce, scallions, & gold leaf

We were a group of six and the restaurant was not packed so it was nice to be able to hear each other talk. They said it was recently remodeled but it was not very warm or cozy. The food was average and service was slow. They get five stars for the bread! I would not recommend the eggplant dish. But being gluten free they were very accommodating. It was convenient being in the hotel but maybe I had too high expectations but wouldn't go back.

My husband and I shared the bison steak, the pear salad, Mac & cheese and asparagus. All were incredible. The bison was cooked to perfection. The other dishes were equally delicious with unique and dynamic flavors. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. The sommelier on staff was exceptional and suggested a delicious white wine to start- he knows his wines. What a fun, delicious dining experience!

Absolutely magical. The service and food were some of the best we've had ever. The menu at a luxury steakhouse can sometimes feel stuffy, but the Apex was almost playful! Imaginative, beautiful, and delicious salads, entrees and desserts. The wine list was excellent, cocktails so subtle and lovely. We will certainly be back!
We expected big things...nope. Food was mediocre at best. We had black bean burger which made my wife sick all afternoon, and I had chicken schnitzel...which was the most boring and bland thing I have eaten all year. We arrived well before several other tables and then waited 15 minutes while the waiter took their orders before finally making it back to us. Just about walked out on that. Service seemed to focus on tables with more people rather than fewer...tip hunting? Was way below expectations and will not be returning or recommending.

Collin was a fantastic server and we enjoyed his recommendations. The atmosphere was also cozy and comfortable. The appetizers were incredible. Wonderful flavors that were not over complicated. We had the ceviche and tomato salad. Our main courses were also good, though the appetizers won out if we had to choose favorites. We hope to come back and enjoy this restaurant again soon!

Bison Ribeye—in past experiences, an excellent, flavorful and tender cut priced in the high $70s—last night was tough and not that marbled. More reminiscent of a New Yorker at a mid-scale chain. Wine markup is getting close to 400% although some of that may be due to DABC purchasing. The octopus and tomato apps were great, as always, and the salmon entree was also quite good with a generous portion, although the presentation is somewhat “meh.” Service was a bit slow although it is the slow season.

Food is awesome but the service the last few times (and especially this time) was extremely slow. Wasn't that crowded but our lunch took close to two hours - i don't think it's normally like that but our waiter was just a bit off this time. The food was all great though so i'd definitely go again - just be sure you aren't on a tight schedule.

very nice experience with the 3 course meal in connection with Dine PC. cauliflower entree was meh. not enough flavor. gnocchi kinda tough. wife liked the seafood pasta and friend enjoyed chicken. one said it was best chicken they eve had. overall— nice ambience. good food. drinks way overpriced. wife was charged $28 for a glas of chardonnay which cost $40 in the store. that's just gouging your guests.
