The Lodge Bistro,

9260 Lodge Drive, UT 84092

"If you’re reading this, you are likely deciding where to dine while visiting Snowbird. All of the outlets are distinct and good at what they are. That said, The Lodge Bistro is perhaps my favorite on account of the ‘slow burn’ après-ski atmosphere. It has the feel of a cozy, mountain locals establishment. Not too loud, too rushed, and a well executed European cuisine I enjoy. Very strong kitchen."

"Great place for apres ski! Started with a few pints of Guiness on draft. Robert took excellent care for us at the bar. The appetizers were delightful, my favorite was the crispy cauliflower. Chef Danny made our dinners spectacular. We had the cheeseburger which was big and juicy, and the steak frites. Can't wait to come back!"

"This place is fantastic. Best restaurant at the bird no question. The flavors work perfect. The service was extremely professional and personable. The location is unmatched. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself."

"12/22/21 Update. Opening night for the season. Missing the Head Chef and GM, but hasn't lost a thing. Our server Kathleen was working hard and doing a great job. Steak tartare was excellent as was the meatloaf and French onion soup. Sublime tofee dessert. Good selection of wine. Don't come if you're in a hurry. 2020: This is the second time we have dined here. The atmosphere is nothing fancy, but the food, wine and service are fantastic. Last time we had the tartare, beet salad, salmon and duck (two ways). This time we had the tartare, beet salad, scallops, and elk. The tartare is one of the best we've had. The duck was outstanding. Everything else was very good. They have a good wine list and if you ask the BIG GUY, he will make some recommendations, some of which may be off the menu -- a real treat. Always too full for desert. Definitely one of the best places in Little Cottonwood Canyon for a nice meal. Make a reservation! They are clised a couple days midweek."

"We got there early, a little after 5 pm and had the whole place to ourselves. Things started getting busy by the time we were finishing up at around 6 pm. The food there was 1st rate. I loved the French onion soup, and the meatloaf. The meatloaf was so fresh and the waitress said they use really high quality meat for it. My husband had the kobe beef and said the meat was great but the flavorful sides were what really amazed him. We shared the chocolate gateau and it was decadent but not too sweet. My husband has Celiac's disease, and the gluten free options were clearly marked and a surprising amount of dishes were already gluten free. On a side note, our car had trouble getting up the mountain and the coolant was leaking which really stressed me out. As we were leaving, we asked the front desk of the lodge if they had any coolant (long shot I know), and they called a public safety person. He was a mechanic and helped us fix the car and get home safely. He was so kind, and I was extremely grateful for the amazing overall experience we had at Snowbird!!"
