Restaurants near Ogden Nature Center

Our dinner was fantastic! We were impressed as soon as we stepped out of our car, the valet was attentive and kind. Hostess and front desk made us feel welcome. The waitress knew what she was talking about, she was so knowledgeable. We also loved the tasteful Christmas decorations.

Exceptional as always! Server was great, and food was delicious. Never had to wait for refills and food came out quickly

A Mixed Experience with Standout Dishes I had a largely positive experience at this restaurant, thanks to a few standout dishes that truly impressed. The grilled pumpkin bread served as an appetizer was nothing short of exceptional—warm, slightly sweet, and perfectly charred. Paired with a fresh serving of burrata and cranberry jam, it made for an unforgettable start to the meal. We also tried the Brussels sprouts, which were equally delicious—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. For the main courses, my mother ordered the pork confit gnocchi, which she found satisfying, but my braised wagyu unfortunately fell short of expectations. While the meat was tender and flavorful, it was meant to be topped with shoestring potatoes, which were missing from my dish. This was a small but noticeable oversight. Additionally, the shaved fennel, which accompanied the wagyu, was inconsistently cooked—some pieces were soft and delicate, while others were far too crunchy and underdone. Given that the wagyu came in at nearly $40, these discrepancies were disappointing. On a positive note, the restaurant offers an impressive selection of non-alcoholic mixed drinks, which is a nice touch for those seeking refreshing, flavorful options without alcohol. Overall, while there were a few missteps, the restaurant does serve some excellent dishes and an excellent atmosphere that made the meal enjoyable. I'd recommend it, especially if you're looking to indulge in their grilled pumpkin bread and burrata appetizer. However, for the price, I would have hoped for a bit more consistency in the execution of the main courses.

Good Italian food but not the best. Big servings but just found the flavor lacking. Too much oil in the pesto sauce. Service was great.

Such a fun Halloween activity! Sad that the Haunted Forest was closed, but can't control the weather, so totally understandable. The drinks were AMAZING!! I didn't love the food selection, especially for how expensive it was, but the creative spooky names and descriptions were very fun! Haunted Basin, such a clever idea. Can't wait to do it again!
