   The Brussel sprouts appetizer used to be delicious. Now they are nearly inedible…can barely cut into them (the knives are so dull…good luck) or chew them, because only the outer layer is cooked. Clearly the kitchen has cut out a step in the cooking process to save time. The avocado & steak salad is good, but an up charge to add tomatoes? And could they get a no alcohol beer on the menu? Been asking for a year…they stick their head in the sand when it comes to realizing a change in drinking culture & the popularity of NA beers. I had high hopes for the new owners, but it’s been a disappointment for this formerly frequent customer.

   Enjoyed lunch with a friend today. Perfect atmosphere to visit. Noise level was low however there weren’t many other diners. We were seated at a very small table when there were lots of other choices. Our server was very nice and attentive. The food options were good but the prices were a bit high for lunch. We split a French dip sandwich and each ordered a half beet salad. Both were very tasty. It’s a 45 minute drive for us but we enjoy the Kayenta area and beautiful views. The Village shops are fun to peruse as well. I definitely recommend Xetava for low key vibe and a nice change of scenery.

   Read about Xetava last fall and it was on our list to try when we were in St. George. Great location, full moon over the red rocks as we were parking and walking in was great. Started with the Brussel Sprouts with peach chutney and goat cheese which we enjoyed. Considering it is dry January would have loved the option of a N/A beer to go with our meals. My husband loved the Mahi Tacos, well cooked, nice accompaniments and well plated. I chose the Green Curry Mahi and while the Mahi was well cooked the Green Curry coconut broth was a complete miss. The taste was sweet, not at all broth like and quite heavy. The quinoa was also undercooked, so not light and fluffy. Considering the ambiance, the great starter and my husband’s delicious dinner, next time we are here, we will give it another try.

   Wonderful experience! We shared the Brussel sprouts and fries which were both great. The caesar salad was so fresh and good.

   It was another perfect lunch! My friend and I shared the pork quesadilla and each ordered a half salad. Just the right amount of delicious food. Wendy was super attentive and upbeat, she provided excellent service.

   Very expensive for what you get. It is new ownership and portions seem smaller and quality of food was not as good. Was disappointed as we have been going there for years. Less menu items to choose from as well….

    We were disappointed with the menu for dinner. It is basically a lunch menu and The food was good but nothing special. We hope the new owners will consider either upgrading or advertising as a burger/sandwich menu. Not much different from the bar which we like but city prices for average food. Please do something special! We love the ambiance and location. Drinks are quite good especially considering Utahs odd rules including measuring and reporting the exact amounts poured?
