Yuta was the name the Ute Indians called the area and themselves, meaning "mountain top" or "people who live high is the mountains." Legend has it, when Spanish explorers arrived and asked the natives what this area was called, they were told "YUTA." Its mountains have seen many cultures pass through or inhabit, starting with the Uto-Aztecan Native Americans; then, the Utes. As US western expansion continued, more cultures moved through the area – from as far away as Eastern Europe and China. Drawing on all of these cultures, we are defining a regional cuisine true to Utah, featuring a wood-burning hearth, and with Lynsey Gammon, our Blue Sky farmer who uses the ultimate in organic farming practices.

We frequent this place because it is warm & homey in ambiance & the food is forever interesting, full of choices & delicious; the front of the house & the wait-staff are most excellent. Even when it is full, the noise level remains moderate, and one can always carry on a conversation w/ friends and loved ones. We celebrate special occasions here but also celebrate the joys of everyday; we are always cared for here & it never disappoints. We are drawn back here again & again.

The restaurant was very good. Expensive but very enjoyable. The service was great. It was pretty empty which can be worrying. I hope Winter season goes well.
