We discovered this charming and unique restaurant while staying at the Slot Canyons Inn. This farm-to-table (FTT) restaurant is a hidden gem in Escalante, Utah. It uses locally sourced pasture-raised meats, seasonal produce, and is topped off with stunning canyon views. The restaurant offers a sophisticated but relaxing dining experience with either indoor or outdoor seating, but we highly recommend choosing the outdoor option to experience the stunning views of the high desert. It should be noted that the restaurant is situated in an International Dark Sky community, offering great night-sky views. The restaurant vibe is best described as a casual yet upscale dining room that doubles as an art gallery featuring local Utah artists. They offer a rotating menu, which focuses on global influences combined with local ingredients. With an emphasis on high quality and refined nature of the food, you can expect grass-fed and pasture-raised meats, worldly small plates, and a curated selection of beer and wine. Our dinner was truly an exquisite culinary journey and was a feast for the senses. We would be remiss in our review if we did not recognize the amazing staff, in particular, Thomas and Merissa, for making this dinner an unforgettable repast. Note: photos of the night sky were taken from the restaurant and upper balcony.
