    We’ve been coming to this Ruth’s Chris quite regularly for 10+ years. In my opinion no one else measures up. In the past the valet guys have been more helpful than tonight, but dinner and the inside staff were spot on. Will return many more times.

    Wow! What an amazing meal and experience. I see why this restaurant received accolades as the best Italian restaurant in Utah. From appetizers to salad, pasta, proteins, & desserts every bite was delicious and the service plus live jazz during the meal truly elevated the already outstanding experience. Further, the house wine was fantastic. My wife and I traveled to Park City & Salt Lake City from San Francisco for a thanksgiving week getaway - we highly recommend and will be back again!

    Exceptional experience from arrival to departure, which speaks volumes about their staff and how in unison they all are, everything was seamless, friendly and welcoming with a smile. My server, Juan was phenomenal, offered tremendous service throughout, and was super knowledgeable about the entire menu, which provided me with a spectacular dining experience. The new Asian inspired crab cakes belong in the culinary hall of fame; sesame crusted, with depths of flavors that were as stunning as the plating of the dish. Their Bison steak cooked perfectly medium rare was outstanding as was the pairing of the duck fat fingerlings and out of this world Brussels sprouts, in unison, all were such a thing of beauty. Flavored butter and their mocktails were also delicious and unique! Guy at the front desk was awesome, knowledgeable about the history of the establishment and took wonderful care of me. I’ve dined around the world at a multitude of Michelin starred restaurants, Log Haven belongs right at the top with any of them. This is the restaurant to visit in Salt Lake City, otherworldly in every way, as close to perfect and paradise as a dining experience can be. Thank you, Log Haven and staff! Cheers and Happy Holidays!!
